    "comment": "Easiest class ever. Finished with 100+%. English isn't her first language so some words are tough to hear, but overall not bad. Anyone giving her a bad review just didn't attend lecture or discussion because we practically went over test problems. More than fair grader and gives good feedback online. She provides plenty of practice for exams too.",

    "comment": "If you're already pretty good at math, you might be able to handle Professor Hu's class. But if you're struggling and need extra help, I would suggest looking elsewhere. The lack of clear instruction and engagement can make it tough to succeed, and it's easy to become discouraged and frustrated.",

    "comment": "Professor Hu's math class has been challenging. She teaches in a monotone and detached manner, often with her head down as she writes on her iPad. She doesn't seem to engage with the students or show much interest in our learning. It feels like we're being taught by a substitute teacher, and this has been the case throughout the entire semester.",

    "comment": "Dr. Hu is very knowledgeable in her field and can answer most questions satisfactorily, but it is often best to wait for office hours instead. In addition, her accent is very strong, which makes it challenging to understand the material. She does try to engage the class, but often she lectures on theorems and laws without enough examples.",
