Quarter: N/A
Grade: N/A

It was my first quarter as a freshman at UCLA, and I had no idea what to expect from this class. I'm going into my 2nd year and I can say without hesitation that this was by far the hardest class I have ever taken up to this point (I took 3B and 3C with different professors but nothing compared to how hard this one was). I got a C on the first midterm, a B on the 2nd midterm, and a D on the final, and it somehow ended up becoming an A-. To this day I still don't get how that happened, even with the curve, but apparently half the class failed the final. If any other professors are teaching, take the class with them. Anything but Hall. He's a nice guy, but his tests are just too difficult no matter how much you study. I'm a physiology major and could honestly care less about math.

I took Hall spring quarter last 2014. That was when he just started teaching I think. He was a TA before. I did not enjoy his class one bit. His lectures were confusing and he seemed awkward and uncomfortable. Often times we would be left confused about problems rather than have learned something useful. Its basic high school calculus, so if you did fine in high school, just bring that knowledge back and apply it here. I'm not sure if it was because it was his first time teaching or if he is still like that but he was not great! Didn't like him at all because we had to basically teach ourselves how to do the problems.
