Was consistently disorganized throughout the whole quarter. Sped through and heavily relied on TAs to teach the more difficult topics. Homework did not correlate with the lectures or tests whatsoever. Tests were poorly made and mostly reused exact lecture examples. Made the midterms extremely difficult and as a result made the final much easier.
Avoid her AT ALL COSTS. If you need this class for a major, wait for another teacher. She is a bad teacher and answers questions poorly. TAs aren't good either. Taught myself everything. Thick accent doesn't help. Lectures are slow & way behind other classes, except for the last week of the class where she crammed in half of the course's content.
She was not great at teaching and fell really far behind in material, though I feel like the content we were tested on was fair to what she went over. Lectures didn't really make sense and I had to teach myself all the material. She was super sweet and funny tho, and let students put on performances for extra credit points.
Thank you to Organic Chemistry, ChatGPT, and the Academy for this A. Lectures were slow and difficult to understand. Sections were impossible as they tried to stay on pace with the other math class while lectures were ~3 weeks behind. Prof Su was sweet and funny (let us perform for extra credit) but ultimately avoid this class at all costs.
Standard math class. Lectures are a bit hard to follow, heavy accent. It was her first time teaching this class and we were way behind the other 3B classes. A good TA is important. Section hopping allowed. CLAS helpful. She gives you a formula sheet on the tests. If you study you should be fine. She's super funny though and really nice.
It was her first time teaching 3B, so I don't blame her, but we were running behind a lot this quarter. We had the opportunity to perform in front of the class for extra credit, and she isn't serious 24/7 like other professors. The material is hard regardless of the professor, but study guides are similar to exams. Final was pretty easy, all MCQ.
