Professor Ramsey is a great guy and engaging and funny lecturer. You can tell he's passionate about the class. However, after seeing so many good reviews implying that the class is super easy, I took this class and was not happy. Prof explains the material well and the homework is super easy and short, BUT (!!!!!!) the midterms and final are TERRIBLE - problems you've never seen before, 10x the difficulty of anything we've gone over in class, and impossible to solve given it's your first time seeing it and you're on a tight time crunch. I studied my ass off and can confidently say I knew all the material we were taught extremely well, but I failed the final because the problems were so unhinged and unexpected. DEFINITELY NOT AN EASY A

He's awesome. Take this class with him if you can. Honestly, I'd rate him 5 overall twice if I could.

this guys the goat, don't ever hesitate to take a class taught by him

Ramsey is a chill professor who will explain anything you ask in real time. He's very clear and it's easy to follow.

Lectures: Recorded, but please go live so Professor Ramsey isn't talking alone. He is very funny.

Content: It's all logic. Literally, it's just logic puzzles for every test problem. The questions refer to content we learned but your ability to reason >>> your studying. specific vocab terms.

Grading: Inconsistent is the best way to describe it. So many custom messages in Gradescope and then points docked for nuances that we never really learned. I don't think the grading was really standardized since the grader would consistently just dock points that didn't exist on the rubric for things I never learned how to do. It was kind of nerve-racking.

Ramsey is the best professor I've had at UCLA. His lectures were very clear, the exams were fair, and the workload is very light. There isn't much more you can ask for.

The difficulty that he taught didn’t match the exam. If it is not take-home exam, you definitely will fail the exam unless you are really smart. I would never take it again!!!

Ramsey has engaging lectures and teaches very well, however the final exam for this class felt very challenging; I don't think I would've been able to prepare for it adequately given any amount of time. The first and second midterm were in my opinion fair, however. My biggest complaint with this class was that it felt difficult to prepare for Ramsey's exams because of the fact that there weren't many practice problems given that were similar to the exams. Not an easy class whatsoever.

Personally I didn't find this class as easy as everyone else says it is. Prof Ramsey is a great professor, but I found a lot of the content to be challenging (especially some exam problems). It's definitely a different way of thinking compared to calculus, and I struggled with it. So don't go into the class expecting it to be an easy A or whatever

Out of the handful of math classes I've taken at UCLA, Ramsey is one of the most engaging professors I've had. He was excellent at explaining concepts and topics. The homework was on the lighter side, with about 5 required problems each week, and more optional ones. Each week also had a short quiz. Overall, I managed to get through the required work in about 2 or so hours each week.

I felt like I understood most of the concepts, but this class' exams were pretty tough. If you are new to writing proofs, I would definitely recommend attending OH or discussion (which is optional). I found that I often times understood how to approach a problem, but had difficulties in articulating my thoughts on paper. The grading scheme is pretty lenient too, with two different schemes depending on if you wanted to count one midterm only, or both.

I don't think this class was too difficult, but you do need to spend some time in it to do well and get an A.

Ramsey was nice. His lectures could be repetitive, but that was generally a good way to hammer in material. His tests were not too tough (at least compared to other professors). The homework could have some confusing problems, but pretty much everything in this class was generously graded (dropping lowest hw/quiz, multiple grading schemes depending on midterm scores, etc.)
