Quarter: Fall 2019
Grade: A
Jan. 6, 2020

This professor knows what he is teaching and gives engaging lectures. He is very nice and actually cares about your grades and tries to give you the best appropriate grade that you deserve. He also provides the class with past midterms and finals to study before exam. His midterm were very similar to the practice midterms when I took the class. Also, if you need help or have a hard time understanding the material I would recommend for you to go to his office hours because he is very approachable. If you want a good grade and you will put effort then definitely go for him.

I took Calc I last semester, and honestly, it was a breeze thanks to the professor. They were super clear in explaining the material—like, even the tricky stuff made sense after their lectures. On top of that, they were really approachable and genuinely cared about helping us succeed. Whether it was office hours or answering questions in class, they always made time for everyone.

The professor clearly knew their stuff and broke things down in a way that made everything click. Plus, the tests? Way easier than I expected compared to the material we covered in class. If you kept up with the homework and paid attention, you were golden.

Overall, it was a great experience—solid teaching, fair tests, and a professor who actually cared about us doing well. If you’re thinking about taking this class, do it!

the lectures were not recorded, but he does record any review sessions he holds before midterms/finals! i really liked taking this class because he made it really easy to understand the material. the only annoying part was having to buy the book to use achieve (even then the achieve assignments are easy to score high on so it kinda pays off)

This class is like assembling IKEA furniture. Content was hard to digest, but after watching some YouTube videos it all makes sense. Conley is like customer support, he's trying his best and that's all that matters. 7/10 not for everyone, but worth a shot.

He is awesome! But this class is terrible. It was too hard for me. I had the textbook and learned to do the problems but unless you're willing to spend several hours self studying it is very difficult, even with attending the 4 hour long review sessions. I love prof Conley and he is super patient, friendly, and helpful but 31A is a menace. Homework is done online via a site that shows you the steps if you forfeit the point and there's a lot of opportunities to practice. But math is hard. I am selling the physical textbook **********

Conley is an amazing professor. His lectures are straightforward and he takes his time out to explain everything very clearly. He holds review sessions before every test and proceeds to go over literally everything. Homework was simple and his tests are very direct and almost straight from the textbook. 10/10 would recommend him.

Lectures were very thorough and incredibly detailed! The review sessions were super helpful and they would go on for hours until everyone's questions were answered.Sometimes they would go up to 10 P.M! It wasn't mandatory, we were free to come and go as we pleased. Midterms were super fair and he would post practice exams that were similar to the midterms / final exams. Homework was pretty light too, it would be collected once a week and the T.A's and L.A's were helpful too. They even held their own review session. Would recommend this professor 10/10 and would definitely take again!

Conley is probably the best professor you can have for any math class. His lectures are extremely thorough (they can be a little too slow and boring sometimes if you know the material). The workload is really light- he gives out problems from the book every lecture for practice, but you don't have to turn those in for grading. He gives out quizzes every week in the discussion section (which are quite easy). His midterms and final are more challenging than the homework and quizzes, but they are extremely manageable. He posts sample exams before each midterm and final, which are very helpful for practice. I only went to office hours once throughout the quarter, and he was very helpful. Overall, Conley is a great professor- take him whenever you can.

Conley is great teacher. The workload is what it should be. The tests aren't hard but they do require you to know the material. In the future when taking math I'll always be looking to take a class with him.
