Prof. Lee isn't the best teacher - he almost always doesn't answer students' questions, and his math proofs are often hand-wavey. However, it is clear that he truly loves what he teaches, and this came through. His lectures were very interesting and got me to like signal processing, which motivated me to study on my own to clarify his lectures.

Funny asf. Either u hate or love him. midterm ez final basically impossible tho 😹😹, thought I got less than 50% but idk. u learn a lot but if u miss lecture ur actually cooked. TA basically ran the class cuz he didn't fw technology, only thing he graded i think was final. He does make jokes for asking questions but ask anyway. hard concept

Probably the worst professor I've ever had. Terrible lecturer, TAs had to carry hard. The Homework and the midterm were pretty simple. But the final which was 60% of the grade was terribly hard and nothing like what we did in the class before. Didn't even give the paper back, we just got the final grade with no explanation

I don't think I've ever given a professor a 1-star review before, I'm generally nice on these ratings. Hua Lee was a horrible professor making a difficult set of topics much worse. The class was extremely inconsistent with easy homework and midterm, and the hardest final I've ever taken in college. Avoid at all costs.

Academically the final was nothing like the midterm or homework, the questions were worded very weirdly and was graded very harshly as well. Besides that he had good math tricks when he wasn't on some weird rant taking up half the lecture. Was very rude if asked any questions and then became surprised when everyone became too scared to ask.

This class was organized horribly making it hard to learn anything. Lectures included unclear explanations and the professor wasn't helpful with answering questions. Homeworks were fine, midterm was relatively easy, however the final worth 60% was EXTREMELY difficult. I regret not dropping this class in week 1 when he said the average was a 2.5..

Was a decent lecturer, but sometimes sounded uninterested in answering peoples questions. Midterm was super fair and resembled homework / class examples. Final was the opposite, many of the questions were formulated in weird ways that we hadn't practiced or seen before and did not resemble homework. Final was weighted 60% too which absolutely sucks

i took the final and was so sad because none of the homework was anything like the final. if you can still drop, drop and take another quarter. just do it. if you can't, GO TO LECTURE. he doesn't post everything to canvas and you need the lecture notes to pass. he does care about his students a lot and tries to help, but he will still give u a C.

STAY AWAY. 65% final (why...), 25% midterm, 10% hw. grades are bell curved around B-. Ok lecturer. Easy midterm, but mistakes punished heavily (little to no partial credit). Homework is doable. Final is just straight up unfair. The TAs tried to help, but no amount of homework or TA help could prepare you for even 1/4 of the final (65%)..

You tend to learn a lot throughout this class. But, when you're face to face with that final exam, everything you thought you'd know goes away. In other words, his final was ridiculous. Didn't correlate with the homework at all. Rather, you were expected to use the properties you learned and be clever. That's no good way to apply what you practiced
