clearly. The exams are hard and the content can be really confusing once it turns 3D.

This course could have been a nightmare with a lesser professor. Exams are of very reasonable difficulty. There is a ton of homework, but it can be done with time. Would highly recommend Ohm for this challenging course, she made it easy and digestible.

She packs a lot of content into MATH514—you need to be focused to keep up. Exams aren't too difficult, and she willingly gives extra time. I found the first two weeks the hardest part of the class. You'll use material from calc 2 and 3 a lot.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2924874","quality_rating":4,"difficulty_rating":3},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:24:03.596891+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQwMzA1NjQw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2924874","instructor_name":"Laurel Ohm","course_label":"MATH514","course_id":"COMPSCI/MATH 514","course_uid":"course_f237678d9fac59631b4aa4ff","review_date":"2024-12-15 05:43:44 +0000 UTC","comment":"The content in this class is tough but you could tell Prof. Ohm tried to make all concepts as clear as possible in her lecture notes. She also made the tests much easier than they could've been which I really appreciated. Don't know much about the lectures because I never went, but she made it extremely clear what was going to be on the exams.
