I took Math 32A with Conley (not honors), and thought this was an easy (this could be because of how well he taught the material), well structured, very enjoyable class.

Pros:
-Excellent lecturer: he goes over the concepts very clearly the first time and goes over them again during the next lecture (he spends the first 10 minutes on a “recall” section where he articulates the ideas from the previous lecture) and then goes over them again during the review session.
-Excellent review sessions: he comprehensively goes over literally everything that's going to show up on the midterm/final 2-3 days before the exam
-Easy material: Vectors and derivatives really aren't too hard, especially the way he teaches it. Some things are confusing at first (torque, component vectors of acceleration, curvature, critical values of 3 dimensional surfaces) but after attending the lecture and review session and doing the homework and practice exams, it really becomes pretty easy.
-Easy grading scheme: You can do poorly on one of the midterms and not have it count towards your grade. The first midterm is really easy, so even if you do poorly on the second midterm, it's really no big deal as long as you do well on the final.
-He gives out past exams to study with: These are amazing tools to use for studying, since you can see how he structures his questions and which concepts he generally emphasizes more in the tests. During fall 2014, he posted the actual midterm 1 and midterm 2, along with a past midterm 1 and a past final on CCLE, so if you take this class in the future, there are a lot of resources available for you to use.

Cons:
-Takes forever to post grades: It takes him the better part of a month to get grades onto MyUcla, which is pretty annoying. However, this seems to be the fault of the TA’s, who it appears are responsible for posting the grades. Regardless of who’s fault it is, expect to wait a looooong time to get back grades.
-Doesn’t respond to emails: Sent him an email well before the second midterm, he didn’t respond. Left kind of a bad impression considering all of my other professors usually respond the same day. In Conley’s defense though, I’m sure he doesn’t have the time to respond to all of the emails he gets because he’s a popular professor.

Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons, and 32A with Conley is a class that I would recommend to anyone who is able to sign up for it

ACTUAL Course(s) Taken: Life Science 30A

He is definitely ONE OF THE BEST professors at UCLA. Conley cares so much about all his students and he will work with anyone struggling in the class. Sometimes instead of them asking him for help, Conley will go up to the students and offer a one-on-one appointment with him. And it's not cause he has free time or anything - he just genuinely cares about his students. No other professor in UCLA is that nice.

As for the class itself, it's a new math series tailored to pre-meds but it's very different from the math 3 series. Instead of focusing on calculus the class is based on vectors, Euler's Method, bifurcations, nullclines, chaos, etc. Basicly, it's more about mathematical applications to biological systems than it is about the different types of derivatives.

Bottom line: If you take LS 30A, take it with Conley.
