His exams were fair and he was always willing to talk to students regarding content, logistics, grades, etc. He is a very solid choice from the MSE department.",

    "comment": "Its evident that Professor Hu deeply cares and I did learn a lot from his course. I just find his teaching style mediocre at best and found myself learning 90% of the material outside of lecture. To be fair, his lecture notes are very good. Youll have the resources at your disposal, youll just be learning it on your own.",

He has by far the best supplemental material for a class I have seen, his lecture notes are immaculate. Dont get scared by the number of derivations, you are not required to learn them.",
