scored below average on the two midterms and final and got an A in the class, go Greene

So she starts the class explaining how easy the class is gonna be, so I didnt try at all cuz she guaranteed everyone A's basically. Then I skip a few classes, and come back and I swear we were doing rocket science. Needless to say, PAY ATTENTION and don't miss lectures. She is very nice, I just wish she would explain everything the class covers before she jumped into Calc in a Pre-Calc class. I dropped the class week 9. She signed my drop sheet, then anounced to the class that I forged her signature to get out. Okay lady! Wish me luck in Calc with no pre-calc foundation. FML

lecture and discussion not required

Selling Math 1 book (A Prelude to Calculus) by Axler. If interested text me at (559)579-8833.

teaches math by repetition,

come test time, people score horribly because she didn't teach anything then get bad grades

then its the students fault for doing bad

worst math experience

Took this course in Fall 2014

Professor Greene is very strange, and she sends out a ton of emails that don't really mean anything. Shes a decent teacher, but she really just goes over what the book says. So you can honestly either go to lecture and never read or read and only go to lecture when hw is due. The class is not terribly hard. There is online homework which is easy to get 100% on and then written hw which again is pretty easy if you either go to class or read the book. The first midterm is very fair, I got a B on it by just doing the assigned hw. Prepare yourself now because you will most likely fail the second midterm. The final was pretty fair.

There is only one major flaw with this professor and that's how extremely difficult she makes the second midterm. I've taken Math 1 and Math 3A and i'm speaking from experience. The average in Math 1 for second midterm was 30-40% meaning that almost everyone failed. The same applied for Math 3A. Don't get me wrong she is very caring and have several tutoring sessions. She is also really nice, but I just want to emphasize how she throws curve balls for the second midterm. It usually goes like this

Midterm 1-easy
Midterm 2- no hours of studying can get you an A or B
Final- Medium difficulty (fair test)

Professor Paige Greene is one of the best professors at UCLA. She is thorough with all her explanations and truly cares that her students understand the concepts she's covering. She gives an incredible foundation in calculus that has helped me tremendously in MATH31A. Additionally, she makes herself available in unusually long office hours and is open to answer any level question you may have. She completely prepares you for her exams with practice quizes and "warm up" exercises at the beginning of many of her lectures. I wish she had foundational classes in many other topics. I'm very grateful for her instruction and manner. She's was perfect.

Professor Greene is the cutest. She is so concerned about student learning that you could probably convince her the class is not ready to take the final and she would postpone it. She kind of talks down to you like we are third graders but her tests and final was super easy and you generally don't have to go to class that often unless you don't catch on to math easily. Definitely an easy A!
