Reviews of professor Rui Hayashi

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Rui is a great and passionate professor who really cares about her students. Showing up to class everyday is crucial in order to take good concrete class notes, since her exams are based on the notes and class examples. She offers a lot extra credit and wants you to succeed. She replies fast to emails and is very helpful through her office hours.

Great professor and overall really good at what she does. Test are a massive chunk of her grades, but she grades extremely fairly and is always willing to answer anything you throw at her. Lots of homework, but it shouldn't take too much time for most people, took me an hour or two at most and its usually only one homework assignment a week.

I love Rui. I had trouble learning math especially calculus, but ever since I took her, she taught me well. Her lectures were easy to understand and she wanted us to be comfortable with the topics we learned before we continued on learning.

Rui Hayashi/Bautista (same person) was very generous in her grading for exams. there are 2 midterms and a final worth 75% total which is fair. the class is not easy and the homework is basically required if you want to pass the class. biggest suggestion would be to do every single extra credit opportunity, it bumped me from a B- to B :)

This is my review from roughly 3 years ago. She gave us skeleton notes to allow us to pay more attention on the lecture itself. Her personality is very cute and she radiates positivity. Her tests were a bit difficult but as long as you understand the materials, you should be good.
