Spring 2022 - Avoid this professor. I have nothing good to say about her. Huang is one of the worst lecturers I’ve had in my 3 years at UCLA. She often discusses topics without motivating them, making it tremendously difficult to follow along. She is also one of the least helpful people I have met in general. She is short spoken and, according to one of my friends who has taken another class with her, will intentionally withhold information from you if she does not like you. I also once asked her a question during an exam, and she took the extra time and effort to utter a belittling and rude remark about my capabilities. The midterm was very similar to the homework assignments and relatively manageable. On the other hand, I felt like doing well on the final relied too much on keeping up with tedious algebra and remembering easily forgettable facts from pre-requisites. I would really recommend taking this class with another professor if you get the opportunity.
