Conley was an excellent professor. He was patient and explained things really slowly his workload is very low and instead of turning in homework you take quizzes each week. The final and midterm exams are a lot harder than the homework so you can't blow it off. Overall great class and I'm excited to take 31B with him.

I was very fortunate to have Will Conley as my professor for 31A. He was very clear in his explanations, and always made sure that you understood completely. The only bad thing I would say is that having taken the course equivalent in high school, his class seemed to go by very slowly and his explanations became very time-consuming. As a matter of fact, we actually didn't cover a few topics in integration that are necessary for 31B. Overall a very good professor.

Conley is probably one of the best professors I've had to date. He cares a lot about his students and wants to make sure that they understand the material he is teaching. His review sessions don't really have an end time, he always stays until all of the questions are answered. He is very clear in lectures and his tests don't throw curveballs or ridiculously tricky questions in your direction.

I would definitely take all math classes with him if he taught them.

Conley is a really good teacher. Answering math questions via e-mail is not the easiest task, yet he responded to my math questions (and those of my friends) with really detailed explanations. He also spend about 3 hours at each exam review going over what would be on the mid-terms and final. The guy wants the students to do well in the class.
You still have to know the material, though. The class covers a lot of material and much of it builds upon the last concept, so my advice would be to do all the HW assignments and make sure you really know the material before Conley introduces a new concept in the next lecture.
His office hours were pretty crowded, but he's very willing to make one-on-one appointments if you need help.
His grading is fair; he's willing to throw out the worst of your two midterms and uses a generous curve. I did pretty poorly on the mid-terms, but got a 89% on the final and earned a B+ in the class.
Conley's good.
