terrible

DO NOT take this class with this professor. I am a person who usually always goes to lecture but I have not been a lecture since week one. Going is a complete waste of my time. Sometimes I’ll stay on Friday’s when we turn in homework and although things have slightly improved they are still very difficult to follow. All quarter I have just been teaching myself which has been frustrating but I did well on both the midterms. This class has been extremely frustrating and I would highly recommend finding another professor for this course.

Ive been waiting for this professor to get uploaded to Bruinwalk because I’d really like to warn people wondering if they should enroll for Winter 2019: PLEASE DONT. Save yourself the fucking headache that this professor is. Worst professor I’ve had at UCLA for the reasons that others have posted. Her tests are probably easier than the other profs but I haven’t learned any linear algebra at all and it’s infuriating.

Stay away from her

Run while you can. That is all I have to say.

I got an A in this class so let me give a completely objective and unbiased review since it seems like all of Professor Huang's reviews seem to either utterly hate on her or call her the best professor ever.
Frankly, the class was a mess. The lectures were unclear and the notes weren't super helpful for anything. The lectures didn't help on the homework, the homework didn't help on exams, and the exams didn't really reflect what we learned in lecture.
If not for group study sessions, I would not have pulled an A in this course.
Outside of her teaching style, Professor Huang herself is very kind and understanding. She extended homework due dates and gave out hints very frequently. She gave a study guide for both the Final and Midterm that told you exactly what would be on it. And I mean she would give a numbered list of topics that 100% mirrored what she tested you on during exams.
By collaborating with other students in the class, we were able to discern exactly what would be on the exams.
I also felt that she and her TA's graded very leniently, and I always scored higher than I thought I would on the exams and homework.
We also had a Group Project in this course which was also graded very leniently and was pretty much just free points for your overall grade.
Overall, I don't think she's a great professor by any means. She's okay at best. Her lectures were mostly conceptual and provided nearly zero examples, whereas her exams were purely computational. Her homeworks were very difficult and since they were taken from an 80 year old book, there were no solutions anywhere and the questions were ridiculously vague.
However, I felt that her exams were fairly easy as they were purely computational and she gave the topics beforehand (although she gave nearly zero examples).
So yeah TLDR: Messy class; homeworks, lectures, and exams are disjoint; but lenient grading; easy exams; very kind and understanding professor

The professor is very unclear in her lectures and often goes over proofs that are never brought up again. If you want to do well in this class, just do a lot of practice problems beyond what she assigns as homework. However, her exams are relatively straightforward and she tells you what will be on it.

This class with this professor is literally terrible. Please do not take this class. I saw the bad reviews on BruinWalk and said "it probably won't matter" and here I am, having just gotten a C and had the worst math experience of my life. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Take it another quarter if nothing else will fit.

Sorry to pile on but this professor is impossible to understand. I stopped going to lecture.
Still got an A because the textbook is very easy to understand and quizzes/tests were very straightforward.

Professor Huang is a nice person but sadly not a great professor. Her lectures were pretty confusing so I usually just read the lecture notes and went over examples from the textbook.
There is homework due once a week (only 8 total) and it was manageable and never took too long. There were 6 weekly quizzes that varied in difficulty; the first few were pretty difficult and I found them hard to complete in the given time (20 min, including time to upload online) but the second half of them were actually really straightforward. The midterm was only challenging because it was hard to complete in the given time (70 min iirc) but the problems were all relatively fair and we had learned how to do them.
Overall, I'd say Huang was not great but if you have no other option it wouldn't be the end of the world. Definitely find some friends to talk to/work on problems with or make a group chat!
