Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Horrible teacher! Her homework and class content are miles different from the test. Be prepared to suffer!

Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
I was unable to attend weeks of lecture due to personal circumstances and had no ability to see the lecture material. The professor and TA were not accommodating in any way.

Her lectures are dry but informative. Most of the class skip lectures. Everything is graded by the TA. The TA, Yongfeng Wu, is a harsh grader. The averages are high but at the same time many people get low grades(B and below). Don't listen to this guy below me. The midterm was "easy" but not representative. Many people have said this.
