DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, no matter u r international student or native student. This class sucks because all the three professors are boring and devoted little to students. All of them do not take responsibility for students. Additionally, avoid TA TEHRANI Zahrat, she is really strict and never smiles, and she will give you a really low score on paper even if you didn't staple it.

Fall 2019 - This is a review of Cluster 80A as a whole rather than just of Dr. Hsu. This class is actually a joke. The class has 126 students, 3 professors, 3 Teaching Fellows, and 1 Inquiry Specialist, yet they still manage to grade things unjustifiably slow. There is no reason why it should take them 6 weeks to grade one three page paper and 3 to grade a 45 question midterm. The exams aren't too bad though. Even though the assignments themselves aren't horrible, it's their grading that will kill you. I got marked down for starting a paragraph on a new page? I still don't get it. If you can, do not take this class. It is not worth the work and the hassle, you are much better off taking an easy GE, do not make the mistake I made.

Fall 2015 - The class could be more interesting, however the professors are really dry so I end up falling asleep or spacing out. The tests are pretty hard if you don't study. GO TO ALL THE LECTURES AND DISCUSSION. The more you skip the harder it is to get back up and all the tests are based on lectures more than the slides.
