Reviews of professor Rui Hayashi

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took her during quarantine, covid-19 times. Her online class was pretty simple. Show up, pay attention, take notes and you'll pass. Her tests are open-book and open-notes. She expects you to solve some problems the way SHE taught them, not through the internet's way. She gives E.C. homework and quizzes. Do not skip her lectures. Lenient grader.

I wanted to love this instructor but I couldnt. Her tests are ridiculously difficult (class avg for mid 2 was a 60%) and theyre also worth a huge chunk of your grade. Shes really nice and wants you to learn and succeed but the material was made much harder than it needed to be, and she could have been better at teaching it. I wouldnt take her.

Rui has a great personality but the way she teaches will have you struggling in the class. She will teach the material her way so learning from the textbook will affect your grade. Her exams are different from the study guides, making them useless and harder for you to pass. She is a tough grader and will not round up your tests or grade.

Best professor I've ever had. Style of teaching is cute, funny, and interactive. Rui creates amazing follow-along lecture notes that can make even a difficult course such as Multivariable Calculus feel not only approachable, but her positive attitude brightens up the classroom and turns learning math into something enjoyable. I highly recommend!

Rui was a great professor, was very accessible during office hours, and through emails. However, her content on the exams was nothing compared to her class notes and examples. Half of the time, the homework was nothing similar to the class notes. She does not use a textbook, which makes it even more difficult to understand class material .

Rui is a nice person and will help you whenever she is free, however, her test is worth 80% of your grade and there are no quizzes to help balance your grade out so if you mess up on a mid-term you'll fail or barely pass the class. As well, she gives you a lot of homework and her test doesn't completely relate to the homework or study guide.

Love Rui, made me hate calculus less, she had a fun personality that brightened my day. She won't make you feel stupid and is very eager to answer questions. She was always available during office hours. Her study guides are a god-send, they're structured notes that you fill in during class, helpful for exams. Online class but she uploaded lectures

Rui is an incredible professor and has such a kind heart. She understands the struggles of college and tries her best to keep things as stress free as possible while still ensuring that you learn the material. Her skeleton notes are an easy way to get the information needed to do the homework and do well on the exams. All in all, a great professor.
