Awesome instructor. Always does her best to help the students. Very understanding of different student situations and offering support, especially during the pandemic.
There are a lot of glowing reviews for Rose, and I completely understand where they are coming from. She has an amazing personality and clearly cares about her students. I have a slightly more critical opinion of her, however, and wanted to provide my own perspective so that you all get a more balanced perspective of what you're getting into when you sign up for one of her classes.
I, personally, would much rather watch/attend lectures than read a textbook. Otherwise, I feel like I am simply paying $4.5k a quarter to take examinations. I was overall dissatisfied with the quality of Rose's lectures because they were extremely short and lacked depth. The majority of my learning, thus, came from self-teaching through trial and error on pre-class quizzes and homework assignments. I still pulled through with an A in the end, and I sincerely believe that I learned a lot, but I felt like I wasn't getting much value out of the portion of the class that I expect the most quality from (lectures).
The lack of depth in lectures and the brevity of the homework assignments, in my view, made the examinations more confusing than they needed to be. The exams were heavy in theoretical True/False questions and soft proof exercises compared to the other math classes I've taken at UCLA, and I would not have felt adequately prepared for those questions if I had not completed the optional end-of-chapter True/False questions that the professor recommended a week before each exam. I hate it when students need to complete optional exercises to be adequately prepared for exams, and I felt like that was the case in this class.
Overall, this was definitely the easiest math class that I've taken at UCLA. Low-stakes assignments and examinations made it an easy A. Note that this may just be due to the online format. If you are concerned about the depth of your learning, though, Rose may not be the best professor for you.
Professor Rose is amazing. She genuinely cares about her students and their well-being, both in the class and outside of it. She offers multiple opportunities for extra credit or other means to raise your grade. She drops the lowest midterm grade, which saved my grade. I learned a lot from this class, but I would highly recommend reading the textbook along with watching lectures, as content from the textbook does pop up on exams and it's easy to get caught off guard. I would absolutely take her again.
Rose is awesome. This class was "flipped" so we had pre-class videos to watch and questions to answer and then lecture if you wanted/needed it. You don't need to go to lecture if you don't want. The pre-class stuff was informative and you had 10 tries to complete it so it's very low stress. Exams were fair and Rose was always accessible. After an absolute nightmare experience online for 32B this class was honestly amazing. I would highly recommend Rose especially if you're still online. 10/10.
I will preface by saying Prof. Rose is most definitely an incredibly caring professor who wants her students to succeed and will always give them the benefit of the doubt *in regards to cheating. She is also nice and pretty organized however, I do not think she is the best professor for everyone.
She operates her class as a flipped classroom, where we watched 2 or 3 10-12 minute prerecorded videos before each class period and then we have pre-class assignments and questions after we videos we need answer as well. Her explanations are often short and don't do a good job at explaining the material throughly or concisely. I would often have to supplement my learning of the material with youtube videos. Because of this, her lectures are essentially glorified office hours that are often times not helpful. I stopped attending live lectures after the first few weeks because I was not getting any benefit from them. Since you don't know the order of the questions that will be answered, it is a waste of time to stay and watch the whole lecture if you do not understand one part of that day's lesson.
She also requires discussions to be mandatory because we have to complete a discussion worksheet with a group. Though it supplemented my learning, having mandatory discussions due to a worksheet that will just be graded on completion feels like a waste of time.
Side note, I always played her videos on 2x speed because she unfortunately does not have a very pleasant voice and I find that distracting.
Overall, the tests were relatively straight forward and very theory heavy (which she has said she does because of the online learning environment). I don't feel like she did a great job or preparing us for these exams. Her prerecorded videos are fairly surface level and also inadequately prepare us for the exams. I don't think her exams were difficult because we were able to use the internet and textbook. Prof. Rose is obviously incredibly caring and nice however she doesn't do a good job of explaining material coherently and for that reason if you're looking for an easy A you got it (assuming she teaches and grades relatively the same in person or next quarter) but don't expecting any sort of mastery from this class unless you supplement your learning with various other resources.
This class was amazing and the professor was so sweet. The pre-class assignments were due every monday, wed, and friday in her flipped classroom model but they were very doable and we only needed above a 70% average on them, so we were able to learn without the imminent fear of failing the class. And there were no finals or midterms just a bunch of outcome quizzes were not too bad.
Really nice professor. This is my first quarter at UCLA with an undecided major in mind but after taking the course I decided to major in fields related to Math. Her lectures are very clear and her office hours are very helpful. The gradings are nice. There are no midterm and finals but the majority of the grades are determined by outcome quizzes. I typically study every week and do about 2-3 quizzes per week. You will have in total 3 trials for the quiz but I normally just take it once and get all correct. At about week 9/10 I already know that I got an A+ so I can focus on other classes for the final. Really recommend this course!
Great professor who was quick to respond whenever we had questions. The only negative was really that I did not feel as if the lectures were super in-depth which made the material confusing at times, but the discussion section worksheets really helped
Don't take this class if you want a good lecturer to give you a good understanding of Linear Algebra. In fact I would go as far as to say she is a pretty boring lecturer. Take it if you want a really, really easy A+: there is 8% worth of extra credit, no final, quizzes with 2 retakes each, and 30%+ easy-to-earn participation grades.
