Dr. Mckenzie is the only professor who I would take the time to review on BruinWalk, because he was so clear and helpful during his lectures. His midterms were very fairly constructed, with no unnecessary tricks, and he is definitely a professor who values practical knowledge over trying to stratify everyone with a curve. I hope that anyone reading these reviews gets to have Dr. Mckenzie as a professor.

Loved this class. I am selling my Multivariable Calculus 4th edition textbook. Contact me at (949) 612-5205.

Honestly couldn't have asked for a better math professor.

I thought that 32A with McKenzie was good. He goes over the material very in a very clear way and takes the time to answer questions in class if people are confused, but he doesn't really go off on tangents. The homework was reasonable and the quizzes in discussion were never on the hard problems. You don't need to get the newest version of the textbook because he types up the homework problems. If you're looking for a relatively easy math class that will also teach you what you need to know I'd recommend this class.

What a great teacher. Lectures were always at a good pace and the midterms and finals were definitely tailored to what we were learning. Overall a very fair class with a professor who cares about the students.

McKenzie's class was incredibly easy for the content, the homework would take an hour tops for an entire week's worth of problems and the tests were literally all computational (all the problems were exactly the same kind that we saw on the homework and the practice tests). I got an A- because I got too confident and made a really silly error on the final that cost me a lot of points (as well as some really dumb errors on the midterms), but I recommend McKenzie for sure – even though his pacing is a bit slow, he is really clear about the topics, and it's a good way to learn without being overly stressed. Everything still does get covered despite the slower pace, and he's also just a really cool guy in general.

Mckenzie is one of the best professors I've had so far at UCLA! The material for this class isn't terribly difficult. That being said, his lectures were clear and engaging and his office hours were regularly packed! The midterms and final were both fair. We had homework assigned every week but it wasn't collected. Instead, we'd have weekly quizzes in discussion that contained a random sampling of some homework problems. In addition to being a great professor, he's also incredibly nice and kind!

Mckenzie is a pretty chill guy. His lectures are coherent and understandable, and he is clarifying in his answers to questions. One time I didn't understand what he wrote on the board, so I went to ask about it after class. But there were so many people that the next class was starting before I could ask. Mckenzie still welcomed people to ask their questions to him outside 4000A, which I did, and got the answer I was looking for. His drawings of graphs are sometimes hard to make out, but his soothing South African accent makes his lectures flow into the ears of his students like the pouring of a creamy chocolate syrup into uhh.. I don't even know lmao. But like I said, he's a very chill and nice guy, and his class was pretty good, with no major roadblocks or super hard sections. I'd take it again.

McKenzie is kind and friendly with a good sense of humor. He always welcomes questions in class and is usually able to answer them quite effectively. He also brings props to class occasionally like the Hungarian Gomboc to illustrate certain trickier concepts. Homework is optional, but his weekly quizzes are based on the homework. That said, they are pretty easy if you put in some time. His midterms and final are fairly straightforward provided that you show up to most lectures and do well on the weekly quizzes. All in all, McKenzie is one of the most chill professors at UCLA and I would strongly recommend taking his Math 32A.

Dr Mckenzie is a great professor! He really takes time to explain every concept and gives a lot of examples to help us understand. Sometimes you may feel the pace is a bit slow but it is always helpful to listen to him and get a better understanding. The workload is really small, and the exams and not tough at all as most of the questions are similar to the hw and quiz questions he gives. Get Dr Mckenzie!
