Professor Hazel is a great instructor. She makes everything super clear at the beginning of the quarter so there's no confusion about grading. Math 115A is no piece of cake. You are expected to have weekly quizzes that are graded harshly. However, if you could stick to the end, you will find yourself much more precise and logical in mathematical reasoning.

It is not an easy A course for sure, but you will love this course.

You should definitely take 115A with Prof. Hazel. I took 115A with a different professor last time and ended up dropping. Professor Hazel's lectures are so much better!!!
She provides very clear examples about how you should write proofs and her quizzes and exams are around the same level of difficulty as the homework. She's super helpful during office hours and will go over a simple concept with you multiple times until you understand.
However, you should know 115A is still a difficult class. I barely got an A and that's because I've taken 61 and 115A before. It's important to have realistic expectations going into this class.

Prof. Hazel is very clear in lectures and gives great explanations in class about all those conceptual things. But one thing to be careful- she's super strict on proofs. For instance using symbols rather than sentence, missing the assumption statement in proof by contradiction, etc., might all lead to deducted points. HW's are just for practice (no need to submit), but there are weekly quizzes testing HW contents. There are two midterms and one final, all of them doable but like I said, very strict on wording of proofs. Just be very careful with details!!

Without a doubt, Professor Hazel was the most prepared professor I've had during this time of distance learning. She came well-equipped to teach online with ethernet and a tablet. She was also extremely well-spoken and very clear in her lectures and explanations. The homeworks were optional, so the class was graded based on the weekly quizzes and the three exams. I enjoyed her personality and her teaching style, and I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Hazel is a great teacher. She is incredibly helpful and does her best to make sure the students understand what is going on. If you are having difficulty office hours will definitely help. The tests will make you think and you may get stuck but if you utilize the time given you will be just fine.

She is probably the best professor I've had this quarter, with that being said she actually puts in the effort and time to make sure you understand a concept. She will try her best to make you feel like you are in lecture actually learning. Her zoom meetings are live, and she writes out and explains everything you need to know. She assigns a lot of heavy homework problems, but that's probably for the best. Quizzes and exams (midterms and final( were 24 hours long! So that helps ease the anxiety of the class. Again, amazing professor for Linear Algebra I would definitely recommend taking it with her.
