Reviews of professor Ying Hu

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I took this class online, which may have helped my rating a bit, but she was an alright teacher. I am not the best at proofs, but if you are able to go into her office she is more than willing to help you understand what you are doing. At points she basically walked me through the homework. English is not her first language, so keep that in mindtoo

Professor Hu was very hard to understand in the beginning of the term, but you will become accustomed to her slang as the semester moves on. Oftentimes, she expects her students to have already taken the class and have previous knowledge of many new terms. Her grader is very tough and will not give partial credit on exams. Professor Hu is decent.

English is not her first language but she is easy to understand, just has a dialect. She is very gracious with points, if you miscalculate but show you know how to do the problem you will get almost all points back. She does not grade the papers though so you will have to talk to her outside of class. lots of homework but she will help if asked

I did not take Calculus or Analysis with Dr. Hu, so I am unsure how she fares there. But for Linear Algebra, she is very enjoyable. She is clear with the course material and is an easy grader. As long as you apply yourself and ask questions, you will do well.

If I were to summarize my issues with Professor Hu with a single phrase, it would be "seeming lack of empathy". While Professor Hu clearly knows what she teaches, there is a disconnect between where she believes students should be and where they actually are. I can think of many times when she skipped over something because "that's Calc 1".
