Absolutely the sweetest and kindest professor I've had so far. She does an excellent job at explaining topics and goes over it in depth.
Breakdown:
Homework 15% (total of 8 and drops the lowest score)
Wiley Plus (Online Assignments) 10%
Midterm I 20%
Midterm II 20%
Final 35%
Since most people excel in the class, it's practically not graded on a 'curve'. Average scores on the midterms range from 85-90.
Both of the midterms are really easy because she provides practice problems which is literally whats on the exam and the TAs also release practice problems. The class is also really easy if you've taken AP Calc in high school.
However, if you're struggling in the class make sure to go to your TAs office hours and Professor Greene's. They're very helpful and accommodating.
Background: I hated Calc in high school and I got a 1 on the AP test.
Greene was a great professor as she explained all the concepts with great detail and in an organized way. She never seemed to be rushing or skipping over "basic concepts that you should have learned in high school" that many other professors tend to do.
Her exams are VERY fair I have no complaints.
How to get an A in this class: The homework is long yes but you can easily get close to a 97%+ on the homework.
Online Assignment: you get 3 tries, everyone should get a 100%
Midterms/Final: If you study her prac. problems, homework problems, and go to review sessions you WILL get an A. That's how I got A's on all my exams.
Grade: A+
Greene was the best math lecturer I've had at UCLA. She is super clear and really teaches math the best especially since I didn't take calc in high school. She goes at a really good pace and her tests are fair. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS
Professor Greene is by far one of the best instructors I have had while at UCLA. I definitely recommend taking her! She holds numerous office hours and is extremely approachable. Homework and WileyPlus assignments are doable and the midterms and final are as well.
She's helpful. I just wish the TAs would have more office hours. I did pretty bad on the first midterm and alright on the 2nd midterm. The final is what killed me and I thought I was prepared for it but I guess not. But her exams were fair I guess I just didn't prepare fully.
3B is harder than 3A so don't slack off just because you got a 5 on your AP calc exam and you think math is a joke. The only thing that'll be a joke after you take classes lightly is your GPA.
Everyone will tell you about how amazing Greene is, and I do agree somewhat - she is an excellent professor who cares about her students more than almost any other professor on campus. Greene is a good professor for someone who struggles with math or never took calculus because she takes things pretty slow.
However, her class will seem easy to you and then once you get to the midterms you will realize that there is no room for error at all. If you make even one mistake on the midterm, you're most likely dropping a full grade on it. The final was much harder than the rest of the course, and it didn't feel like there was enough time to study for it.
Overall, though, Greene is definitely the best professor for 3A and 3B, so try to get into her class.
