Reviews of Greene tend to be very polarizing. You either like her or you hate her. Here are the pros and cons
Pros
-Not too much homework
-She's really nice overall
-She posts lecture notes online
-Great office hours
-She teaches things very slowly which can be good or bad
Cons
-Her tests are out of a little points, out of 40. Making even one mistake will probably drop you to an A- or B+ which kinda sucks.
-No curve
-I hate the Adler textbook
-Teaching style. It's slow which some people dislike, but some people really appreciate.
-No dropping midterms! If you screw up once, it can be very costly.
-She has special directions for doing hw in her format which gets annoying
Overall I like her as a professor, but I'm a bit disappointed with my grade so far because I really knew the material, but made a small mistake which dropped me to a B+ on the first midterm. I can't drop the midterm so I'm stuck trying to climb my way back up.
Professor Greene was a great experience for my first quarter at UCLA. The class content was not difficult at all and Greene provided a lot of practice problems and practice exams which almost replicated the midterms and final.
The breakdown is
10% Homework (submitted every friday)
10% online quizes (not difficult I think there was 4 total)
20% Midterm 1
20% Midterm 2
40% Final
Midterm 1 was pretty easy like everyone else has already said. Midterm 2 was more difficult than 1, but I didn't find it as difficult as everyone else has previously said, and I'm no math genius. The final I myself found very reasonable and the review sheet provided a great study guide.
There was plenty of office hours and prof Greene was always available for help. Doing the homework, quizzes and doing the practice exams should land you an A.

Paige Greene was the best! TAKE HER!!! She like a mom and cares about her students a lot. Some people said she goes into too much detail about the easy things, but I think that was good because she doesn't want people making stupid mistakes. Also people may have forgotten the calculus they learn in high school, so she was very helpful in showing you how she got the answer. Again she is the best!!!
Greene is an average professor. She tries to make the concepts understandable, but sometimes students will get confused. I took Math 1 back in high school so this class was not difficult for me. However, anyone who hasn't learned it beforehand might face difficulties because she confuses us sometimes. As far as homework, she assigns lots of problems but they will help you prepare for exams. Don't sweat! Other than that, Greene is a genuine and fun professor. Most of the students seem to like her. = )
Professor Greene is really sweet and understanding. I had bad experiences with Math 3A and 3B unfortunately :( And I wish I took these with her.
At first I was scared cause of the new math 3c book and the absence of probability in the course, but in the end it wasn't bad at all. Just take advantage of getting all the pts for hw and the wiley quizzes and you should be fine.
She is also really understanding so please talk to her if you are worried, or like me, experienced a family emergency during the course. She wants her students to do well.
She is not there to trick you so take advantage of office hours :) midterms are like practice exams so do those!!
She's very sweet and kind and enthusiastic in every lecture. She goes over each problem step by step, explaining everything as she moves along which made it very easy to understand the concepts. However, some of her examples were irrelevant to the exams. She holds consistent office hours where she actually does help out students in need in a very effective manner.
- Lectures are easy to understand
- Exams are very fair. No trick questions. She uses problems straight out of the textbook or from her posted practice problems. The midterms are very easy if you actually do and understand the problems she posts to study. However her final was a bit harder than expected but not to the point where you think it's unfair or too difficult.
- A hefty amount of homework and online assignments.
Absolutely the sweetest and kindest professor I've had so far. She does an excellent job at explaining topics and goes over it in depth.
Breakdown:
Homework 15% (total of 8 and drops the lowest score)
Wiley Plus (Online Assignments) 10%
Midterm I 20%
Midterm II 20%
Final 35%
Since most people excel in the class, it's practically not graded on a 'curve'. Average scores on the midterms range from 85-90.
Both of the midterms are really easy because she provides practice problems which is literally whats on the exam and the TAs also release practice problems. The class is also really easy if you've taken AP Calc in high school.
However, if you're struggling in the class make sure to go to your TAs office hours and Professor Greene's. They're very helpful and accommodating.
Background: I hated Calc in high school and I got a 1 on the AP test.
Greene was a great professor as she explained all the concepts with great detail and in an organized way. She never seemed to be rushing or skipping over "basic concepts that you should have learned in high school" that many other professors tend to do.
Her exams are VERY fair I have no complaints.
How to get an A in this class: The homework is long yes but you can easily get close to a 97%+ on the homework.
Online Assignment: you get 3 tries, everyone should get a 100%
Midterms/Final: If you study her prac. problems, homework problems, and go to review sessions you WILL get an A. That's how I got A's on all my exams.
Grade: A+
Greene was the best math lecturer I've had at UCLA. She is super clear and really teaches math the best especially since I didn't take calc in high school. She goes at a really good pace and her tests are fair. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS
