Winter 2018 - This was the shittiest class I took so far at UCLA. Absolutely useless and the professor didn't give a single flying fuck. It takes 20+ hours every week and Huang tried his best to make it even harder. Well, I understand that he was scared of teaching the class because he only taught it once, like a decade ago. I just hope he is never forced to teach it again.

Two things about him really bothered me: 1) Lectures are pretty incomprehensible. He writes messy, writes everywhere, and does not label things well. If you already understand what he is talking about, then this isn't a problem, but if you are like me and had no idea what superfluidity (or various other things) was, then you will be writing like mad only to later figure out that you have no idea what some equation or graph even meant. 2) He lectures on things that he never has any intent of testing/making you do a report on. For 18L this was certainly bearable, as our TA was great and let us know what was expected of us (though was not the type to just hand out A's), though I cannot imagine how incomprehensible Rosenzweig might be in a regular lecture.
