Easy class. Did slightly below average on midterms and then average on final and got a B. He gives so much homework though. Really straightforward tests.

Conley is a great professor! His explanations are clear and thorough and he really cares about students understanding the material. Going to office hours and his midterm review sessions definitely helped me a lot in this class. He also helps you develop both the geometric and algebraic understanding of the material.
His exams are written fairly and the homework definitely helps you prepare for them. I cannot recommend him enough and would definitely take him again without hesitation.

Conley is the GOAT. This guy makes you love math. He is well-versed in mathematics (and surprisingly, also programming) and it is obvious he is passionate about it. He's a great lecturer and actually cares for his students. What more is there to ask for? I was fortunate to have him my entire first year, taking his LIFESCI30A/B and MATH32A classes. That being said, MATH32A was the first time I took Calculus in a year (since AP Calc BC), so I was scared for this class. But Conley made the concepts clear and easy to grasp and understand. His class doesn't take participation, but for this quarter, his lectures were not BruinCasted, so you either had to go to lecture or have a friend send notes. For his lectures, write down everything he writes down on the board. To be completely honest, you don't even need to listen, just copy the board... verbatim, because what he writes on the board is everything you need to know, nothing extraneous. He practically takes your notes for you. Homework is assigned weekly and actually graded, so make sure you actually do it. If you need help, go to his office hours: he breaks down any problem you need help on and it's an opportunity to get to know him outside of class (he's a pretty interesting guy). Your grade in this class depends on your two midterms and final exam. For each midterm and the final, he hosts a review session. This is a must; he goes over EVERYTHING relevant to the exam and answers any questions. The exams themselves are not too difficult, given that you actually do the homework and go over your notes. The questions are mainly calculation-based (free response) and will have one multiple-part theory-based question (usually T/F and explain why, or multiple choice). If you do really bad on one midterm he'll drop the lower score and will weigh your final more heavily for your final grade. He will post practice exams on CCLE, but I highly recommend also going to the SAC test bank to get previous exams, as he reuses the way questions are presented and the theory questions. Discussion attendance is not mandatory nor necessary to do well in the class. Take this guy's class(es). 10/10.

Professor Conley is a great lecturer and truly cares about his students. He goes in depth to help students understand the concepts behind the math. However, he does repeat himself quite a bit and often goes over time by a couple minutes. His review sessions are fantastic. He goes over everything that will be tested on the midterms so even if you miss a couple lectures, the review sessions help keep you up to date. He does take quite a long time to post grades and give back midterms, sometimes waiting until the Friday before the next midterm to return the exams. Overall he is a great professor.

Conley's super thorough and easy to follow in lecture. He goes over the material multiple times and his review sessions cover everything in detail as well - so even if you miss a few classes, as long as you attend the review session you're good. Office hours are useful if you have doubts and he's always ready to make time for students. He is, however, slow with posting grades and giving back midterms.

Conley's a joke. you don't learn anything

Professor Conley was helpful, but really seemed to have dropped the ball on this class. Preoccupied with his much simpler LS "math" class, Conley did a lot for this class last minute. Conley wrote his tests just hours before the actual exams and often times some of the questions were difficult in a sloppy way. He was good at lecturing but the exams were often harder than the elementary material we learned in lecture. As a lecturer, Conley was excellent and provided a lot of support in office hours and hosted fantastic review sessions.

I will forever regret taking this class with Conley. Maybe the math department just has super strict grading or maybe I just couldn't do 32A. But I got solid A's in Math 31 and 33 with different professors. I read the reviews thinking I would have a good time in Conley's class, but got completely wrecked. I got A's on my homework and the midterms, but got a C on the final and ended up with a C. Wtf? The damage this class had on my GPA literally took me 8 A's in other classes to recover from. I didn't want to post a review, but felt a negative review was appropriate to give a different perspective from all of the other reviews lol.
