I really enjoy Briana's lectures. She's experienced in teaching this course with clear explanation of concepts and well-structured practices. The in-person lecture is highly recommended!! Her lecture is very engaging and she makes the concept easy to understand. Always learned a lot after attending the lecture. Workload is fine.

Briana is impossible to understand during lecture, and her poor grammar makes quizzes and tests more about decrypting what she's asking than the material. Take anyone else - avoid at all costs!

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
(Reviewed during Coronavirus, remote learning classes). Professor Chang's class was extremely obtuse, confusing, and frustrating. Most work was group work facilitated through Piazza. Class expectations were confusing and often conflicted with the syllabus. The TA or Prof Chang were not available outside of class and needed to be hounded to get help

It takes a couple of weeks to get used to her class, but everything you need to know is in the slides. Shes not out there to trick you. Also, if you get to know her she oftentimes gives you the benefit of a larger curve.
