Reviews of professor Brian Hu

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really nice guy and he's interesting. The materials provided are very boring though and his two exams are very tricky, there were multiple choice A-H options, with the answers all being very similar. If you take his class make sure to study really hard and pay attention to the content since exams really impact your grade.

Professor Hu is very passionate and I can tell he loves what he does, however, even though the class is only once a week the reading is heavy and sometimes very hard to understand. there are only 2 tests, 1 presentation, and 2 papers to get your grade up. The tests are very hard and I studied a lot! Great man though :)

Prof Hu is a great guy! Interesting lectures but his concepts and readings are hard to understand. Tests are heavily based on memorization of theorists and their concepts. 2 essays with average grading and a group presentation. Put in some effort and you will do just fine!

Hu is a good professor. He is very clear in his lectures. However, I took this class for GE credit and I had to do a lot of work. You have to watch every lecture because there are questions you need to answer as you watch. You also are requried to watch a film every week and do discussion posts , papers or lectures based on the film.

prof hu is amazing. he does grade pretty hard, but he gives lots of feedback to help you on the next assignment. participation in group discussions is super important.

Asynchronous and really organized. Every week, there's 1 lecture/quiz, 1 film, and 1 discussion or lecture/quiz about the film. There are 2 major papers which were definitely graded a little tough, but if you understand the class material, it's not too difficult. Some lectures were a bit heavy, but they're v interesting, and he's really thorough.
