The workload was very heavy, the weekly homework takes a lot of time to complete. The two midterms were very challenging and I was often marked off almost all of the available points for simple errors such as a missing symbol, these simple errors almost made me fail the class.

I love Professor Greene! If you have taken calc in high school, this class is not hard at all. What was really cool was that I actually now understand the concepts that I already knew. In high school, I memorized the properties but never really understood them.

I would recommend that you attend her office hours, as she, personally, will answer any questions you have about homework, or if you just want to talk, she is there. Although her tests are a little harder than the practice problems she provides, you will be fine, just know the material. Attending TA sessions is part of your final grade in the class, but the sessions are helpful in that they provide worksheets that cover past material to reinforce it.

I would 100% take this class again! :)

Class is well-structured, slow-paced, and not a whole lot of work. Discussion attendance is mandatory. Two midterms and a final, midterms were short of about five questions (but some have multiple parts). Final was half multiple choice half free response. There are two grading schemes so you can weigh the final to be heavier if you didn't do well on a midterm. If your major accepts 3a take this class, it's easier than ls 30a or math 31a and professor greene is the best she is there to help you get an A

PAIGE GREENE IS THE SWEETEST. Her lecture style is not the best (it is hard to take notes at times because she will use any available space even if it does not follow the flow of her writing) but her exams are super straight forward! The class is easy IF you took calculus in high school (AP Calc AB carried me in this class). However the study guides are just like the test so you will do great! :)

Greene is such a kind soul. She recorded lectures. She has 2 methods to her class where one is them is she drops the worst midterm and the other is normal 2 midterms and 1 final I guess since I can't remember. There are weekly homework assignments from the textbook and online quizzes/ helpful work using inclusive access.

I am NOT a math person by any means and usually struggle with STEM stuff but I found this class to be pretty easy. If you took calc AB/calc 1 in high school, everything will be review. We started with precalc review, then moved on to limits and derivatives. There were around 9 homework assignments and homework is graded on correctness NOT just completion. There are 5 ish online (mylab) assignments as well (so you need to buy the textbook for sure), and these are also graded on correctness but you get unlimited attempts. Lowest homework grade and mylab grades are dropped. Discussion is mandatory and you get 1 free skip without it affecting your grade. Prof Greene is really sweet and genuinely wants everyone to do well. I went to her office hours and she was really helpful. She also offers different grading schemes, and one of them doesn't count the first midterm at all so if you do poorly on that then you can still do well in the class. For example, I did pretty badly on the first midterm but studied a lot for the second midterm and final and ended up with an A+ in the class. I would recommend reviewing/redoing homework problems and problems that she goes over in lecture to study for the 2 midterms and final. This class is really not bad at all and as long as you go to class most of the time and study properly you should be totally fine.

Honestly, this class was pretty easy, Professor Greene is really nice, and most people do well. This class was honestly wayyyyy easier than AP calc in high school, but I would imagine that if you've never taken calc before it might be a little confusing. Professor Greene can be a little disorganized and unclear sometimes, but she is incredibly helpful so if you ever feel confused you can definitely talk to her.

*TAKEN WHILE WE WERE IN A PANDEMIC*
I took Math 1 with Professor Greene about 2 years ago and she as an amazing professor then so I decided to take her this quarter for Math 3A and she was a great professor overall as well. I am not very strong at math but the TA that I had which was Joel broke everything up step by step which made it easier to understand since her notes are kind of messy. The class consists of weekly hw, mylabs which is another math assignment you have to complete on top homework but it's pretty easy if you do it with your friends, two midterms, and one final. It was pretty straight forward. She gave us sufficient time to finish all the exams and to finish the hws! If you are looking for a great precalculus professor and calculus professor, professor Greene is the way to go. GOOD LUCK!!

Professor Greene is an absolute gem! Her lectures can be a little dry sometimes, but they are really helpful for the homework and exams. She even gave us a lot of time for our midterms and finals due to COVID-19. There is a decent amount of work for this class. We had a written assignment and an online assignment every week. However, she puts homework problems on the test so if you understand the homework, the exams will be super easy! I only took up to honors pre-calculus in high school because that was all that was offered, but I still found Math 3A to be very doable!
