Reviews of professor Yim Au

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Au is a good professor overall; however, sometimes she struggles to explain material effectively. Because the class is one 3-hour lecture per week, there is a lot of homework. It's not particularly hard, but it is long and you have to put in a lot of work. Once you do though, you will be well rewarded and the grade will be easy.

Prof. Au is one of the best professors I've had at Berkeley! She is super passionate about design and cares for her students. Her assignments and lectures really get you thinking about design in everyday products and life.
She also gives genuine feedback on group projects that can translate over to internships/jobs. Overall I highly recommend!

Au is very knowledgeable and full of wisdom. Class is a heavy workload but not necessarily difficult. An interesting class! Its a little hard to understand her sometimes though  shes from Hong Kong. The GSIs were also pretty nit picky with grading and seemed like theyd knock off points wherever they could. Forced me to get a makerpass though!
