Noah White is the man. I'm not sure if he's going to be coming back to UCLA after this quarter, but he was always available and is very helpful when it comes to doing the homework. With the class being online, it was significantly easier which may make this review a little less reliable. Homeworks were a little tricky, but always doable. Quizzes were almost every week, and I found these to be the most annoying part of the class as they sometimes had specific or obscure answers. Midterms and finals were less difficult than the homework, and with 24 hours to take them they were all very manageable. If he ever is teaching a math class at UCLA again, absolutely take him if you can.
This class was very fair and the professor and his TAs are very helpful. This class is curved so according to his syllabus, about 20-30% of people get As and 55-65% of people get As and Bs combined. He has two midterms, which usually consist of a couple of multiple choice questions and two word problems that have multiple parts to them. They're doable, but the time constraint is the hardest part.
As for homework, he releases a problem set every week, but you don't have to do it. In total, there are three homework assignments that are usually only two or three long problems from the problem set. The week after the homework assignment is due, there is a quiz, which is usually only two questions and the questions are from the problem set too. He'll also tell you which problems might show up on the quiz.
There's also a textbook for this class, but you don't need it, since everything that you really need to learn is from the problems sets he gives and his lectures. His lectures are Bruincasted!!! Also, his lecture slides are posted online, but I would still recommend either going to lecture or watching his lecture, because after the slides, he does practice problems, which are the same format that you'll see on the midterm and final.
Overall, this class is manageable, but one thing to note is that this class teaches calculus in a different way than high school calculus. This class focuses more on life science applications, so almost every problem is a lengthy word problem. So if you're expecting to just take derivatives and integrals, you might want to take a different class.
White gave us a lot of ways to help our grades out. He has two grading schemes, and he uses whichever one that gives you the higher grade. His 3 quizzes and 3 homework assignments were never ridiculous and doable. He gives out 2 midterms, which is nice because he gives you an opportunity to help you raise your grade.
