Will Conley is a G. His class is insanely easy because it's basically AP AB Calc. honestly, my high school calc class was harder than this class. And even if you are confused on something, Conley will help you bc he's literally the nicest guy on earth. Also, you probably don't need to go to any lectures if you took AB calc in high school and got a 4 or 5 because it's all a repeat of that stuff. Just go to the review session before the midterms and final because he basically reteaches everything from the past lectures in a matter of three hours. So if you go to the review sessions and never go to lecture you probably could still get an A lol. The discussions are also nice because you just do practice problems and they don't take attendance. Take this class with Conley... it's the easiest math you'll take at UCLA I guarantee it.

Professor Conley is the best professor you will ever have at UCLA. He is the best math teacher and the most engaging lecturer I have ever met. He's kind and takes his time with everything. I'm writing this review after getting off a 6 HOUR final review session held by him from 6-11:15 pm not to mention hes been holding OH since 2 pm today so literally has not had a break. This man cares about his students more than himself; he is constantly going above and beyond for our benefit. LS30A is easy if you just pay attention. The concepts are simple or straightforward not to mention if you have even the slightest background in calculus the majority of it is just based on that. If you don't, don't worry because Conley makes it so easy. I cannot stress this enough--Dr, Conley is the best. Take this class with him if you can. LS30 series is generally pretty easy from what I've seen/experienced so far. Conley if ur reading this....ily

Professor Conley is one of the best teachers in the Math department. He explains very clearly the topics and really cares about his students. Every lecture he would start by doing a quick review on the last one, before continuing to new topics. He makes this class really simple and helps you understand wat better than other professors. There is weekly homework, two midterms and a final. You can drop your lowest midterm. There is also Sapling. What was really great about him were his review sessions, He would spend 4 hours in a classroom reviewing all the topics for a test, without getting tired!
Professor Conley is one of the only lectures I have had that actually enjoys teaching. If your knowledge in Calculus is not strong, you should definitely take this class.

Conley is an amazing professor, great lecturer and very willing to help. His review sessions are very long and very thorough and you can tell he puts his heart into his work. Class is very easy, labs were kinda tricky, but it is easy to get credit in them and to get an A in the class.

Took this class for Winter 2020. Conley is a good Professor, however, he tends to go really fast in lectures and go over time everyday in class. Tests are very hard, confusing and are nothing like the review packets (be prepared, not believe other review on here). Computer labs are a drag and are graded on correctness with the TA’s not properly teaching student how to do them. Studied 3 days for midterm and got a C+, studied 6 days and got an A- on final. Overall grade was and A-. Conley is very passionate about the topic, however, he expects us to put in the same amount of passion as he have for the subject and that can be very stressful.

I took Calc I last semester, and honestly, it was a breeze thanks to the professor. They were super clear in explaining the material—like, even the tricky stuff made sense after their lectures. On top of that, they were really approachable and genuinely cared about helping us succeed. Whether it was office hours or answering questions in class, they always made time for everyone.

The professor clearly knew their stuff and broke things down in a way that made everything click. Plus, the tests? Way easier than I expected compared to the material we covered in class. If you kept up with the homework and paid attention, you were golden.

Overall, it was a great experience—solid teaching, fair tests, and a professor who actually cared about us doing well. If you’re thinking about taking this class, do it!

Professor Conley is literally the best professor I have had and probably will ever have. He's an engaging lecturer, and explains concepts super thoroughly. You can tell he cares so much about his students, having ridiculously long review sessions and always staying longer than his specified office hours. He stayed 30-45 minutes over regularly to make sure all questions were answered, only leaving when he had another commitment to run to-- and he would literally RUN to maximize his time. He's also super willing to answer questions after class, staying until every student has asked all of their questions. If I ever felt confused leaving a lecture, I was always super clear on everything after talking to him. This man is a GOD in all ways, his office hours are ridiculously helpful (especially for coding!!!) and he never makes you feel stupid for asking questions. Even though the coding can be tough, he is SO helpful and makes everything really clear-- seriously go to his coding office hours. He also makes a genuine effort to get to know his students, asking everyone he doesn't know their name (and he will remember it if you go to office hours semi-consistently) and how they're doing. I literally could not give this man more praise if I tried, he's such a genuinely kind professor and his passion has shined through in all of the interactions I've had with him (which are a fair few). I'm honestly so bummed that this quarter got put online, solely because I'm lacking the live Will Conley content I need in my life. I literally love this man. If you can, take Conley!! He will EXCEED your expectations. :)

This is the best class I have taken on UCLA campus. The professor is kind to all the students and understanding when it comes to the grading scales. There is are plenty of extra credit opportunities and getting an A is as straightforward as it gets, pay attention to the material taught in class and you can easily get an A. This is a class where you are able to talk to the professor and TAs about topics you do not understand and know you will receive a fulfilling answer and are surrounded by people who genuinely want you to learn first. If you have doubts about taking this class, you should not, this will definitely be one of the best classes you take on UCLA campus throughout your undergraduate journey.
