The accent is definitely doable. You just need to focus in class. And he writes and draws very clearly on the board. I think he's a good professor, but be very careful with the homework. The grader can be very unforgiving and the professor will make no effort to help you with changing homework grades. Midterms are very straightforward and based off of examples in class. The professor himself says the midterms are easy, but the final is what sets apart the A students from everyone else. I like his teaching style, but if you miss lecture, just go over the examples in the book, cause that's all he'll be doing anyway. He can be very helpful in office hours if you have specific questions. He's not a bad guy.

Nice teacher, hard to understand. Class is pretty boring, midterms are easy and very similar to his old midterms. Final was quite a bit harder so make sure to boost your grade up with the midterms. I got a B+.

I thought Professor Liu was a good teacher overall. Yes he has a thick Chinese accent that takes getting use to but he writes very neatly on the board so its easy to follow along. I also suggest reading sections in the book before or after he teaches it just to reinforce your understanding or if you did not understand whatever he was saying in class. Most of the time I understood what was going on. He goes over multiple examples and does not get hung up on proving something. The good thing is that he gives very little homework in comparison to other math professors I've had (around 5-7 problems per section) and posts his homework up for the entire quarter so that you can get ahead in homework if you wanted. Plus his midterms are doable and people score really well on them; it really helps if you can get your hands on one of his old midterms to study from. The final on the other hand was much harder since there were computation proofs in them and you aren't expected to memorize proofs in the class except for the final.

First of all, this professor is horrible. He has a terrible accent that no one can understand. I tried so hard not falling asleep but it was just too difficult to try to understand what he was saying on the board. Though his first 2 midterms were decent, but he made his finals super hard. Avoid him if you want to understand math and stay awake.

As I look at the quality of the math teachers here at UCLA, Liu was a good teacher. He has an accent, but after very little time you'll get used to "wector wii" and start to enjoy his sense of humor. His lectures are straightforward and during office hours, he's more than willing to help.

His midterms were exactly what he tells you they'll be on (in his review). The final was 9 midterm-like questions and 4 really hard questions that no one I know got right (so it was curved). He's got a generous curve, so I'd recommend him for 32A.

Professor Liu did a great job teaching Math 32A. The midterms were both very straightforward and easy, and the final, while more difficult, was still doable based on what he taught in class and what was in the book. Homework was always pretty quick, just a few hours once a week for me. The accent can be a barrier at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly. He also seems like a genuinely good guy and doesn't take himself too seriously. I highly recommend him for 32A.

Professor Liu was a far better math professor than others I've had at UCLA, and his lectures are rather well executed. However he pretty much recites straight out of the textbook, and his thick accent sometimes makes it quite difficult to comprehend the material, which usually resulted in me just reading each section anyway. His homework is blessedly short, and he doesn't throw every problem from the book at you just to keep you busy. He picks a good assortment of questions from each section, many of which will frustrate you because they are the more difficult ones, but you should definitely do extra problems if you want to do well on his tests. His curve is very generous, but even though I did well and beat the curve on both midterms, his final was a killer -- far harder than I expected, given the relative ease of the midterms and homework -- and left me with a far lower grade in the class than I would have liked. I'd recommend taking a different professor if you can find one whom you *know* is better, even though he is a decent professor. But if you wind up with him, and you brace yourself for his final, you shouldn't walk away hating his class.

He's a nice guy. His midterms are easy, but his finals really require a mastery of the material. I did bad on the first two midterms because he said he would throw out bad midterms, so my grade depended on the final and the homework, bad idea... the final was ALOT harder than the midterms. If you take his class, make sure you do well on his midterms cause they'll be a good buffer for the final!
