i might update this review later and be nicer if my final grade gets fixed lol... grades this quarter were submitted late, and based off my final exam, labs, etc., i was given an A- when i should've had an A. i'm literally sweating my balls off while i wait for Conley to reply to me and see if i can get my grade fixed.

anyways Conley is really nice and passionate at least. he stays back after lecture to answer anyone and everyone's questions. BUT the midterm & final grading was slow as hell and i'm highkey pissed that i was given an A- when all calculations show that i got a solid A (97%).

imo labs were lowkey easier than 30A. homework is chill. i fumbled the midterm but clutched up on the final, so i'd say the exams weren't too terrible. ALSO i recommend being lazy and doing the bare minimum for the capstone project. like choose the Holling-Tanner model and make it the most BASIC model ever. do just enough to get full points so you can save yourself the headache.

pls if you are out there Professor William Conley... pls fix my grade... i BEG of you

WOW this class was humbling. For context I got an A+ in LS30A, but this class was on another level.

Conley:
I absolutely love Professor Conley. He is truly so dedicated to teaching this class, passionate about the subject, and so willing to help in whatever way he can. His midterm and final review sessions were 5 and 4 hours respectively over Zoom. He would stay after lecture for sometimes almost an hour to answer questions. He would stay way past beyond his office hours to answer questions. He uploads assignments on BruinLearn at eerie hours of the night. He's also just so nice. The goat.

Lab:
The labs are much harder than 30A, and there's a capstone group final project instead of a lab practical. This capstone also included a final report worth 50 points due mid-finals week, which was probably the worst part.

Class:
All homework is in the textbook, and sometimes you'll need to use CoCalc for the problems (this was annoying). Some of my homework files were 20 pages long - it can get lengthy/be a lot of writing. There were 2-3 pre-class videos before each lecture that we had to watch/answer interactive questions with. If you actually watch these, lecture will be mostly review, and you'll be slightly ahead of the game. As for content: the class covers a good mix of basic linear algebra, differential equations (expansion from 30A), multivariable calculus (partial derivatives and such, nothing too extreme). Good mix of conceptual vs. technical things you needed to know, as well.

Exams:
The midterm and final were definitely challenging, but doable with good studying. I wish I studied more for the midterm. I felt okay/a bit better for the final.

Overall - if you put in a lot of work for this class, it's definitely doable.

Will Conley is the ucla version of Jesus Christ. I have never loved a professor more. After struggling very hard in 30A with Shevstov ( dont take it with her) I was SO worried about 30B. Conley has made this the easiest and most enjoyable class I have ever taken. I would take it again just to be in his presence. 11/10

You get what you put in. The class isn't designed to be hard, and the content it's super hard, but it does get confusing. Study well for the midterms and finals! The class also has a group project. The project is moderately time consuming, so be prepared for that.
