I worked hard, but it's still very hard.
It would help if you are already preparing for CPA.
Midterm & Final make up most grade

If you care grades do not take his class, I have never taken a professor like him that makes feel suspicious about my own skills, I studied hard for the midterms and feel confident I aced it but in the end I received a grade that I am not satisfied, he also points out people who got an A on the exams which I think it is really mental stressful for other students as well. Every year they were people complain with him about their grades and he should find out why. Other than that he also share his political opinions in front of class trying to somehow force his beliefs into students. Materials are good but just not a good professor. As you can also tell from the grade distribution, he will not make any curve in the exams, because he made a bell curve. Worst professor

Professor Lu is truly invested in his students' success in his class and into their careers. With that being said, he is not one to give out easy A's. The class averages on exams were generally around 80-85%, so definitely manageable if you keep up with lectures and do the optional assigned textbook problems. There was never any unexpected material on exams, so I found them to be fair. What separates Professor Lu from other teachers is his emphasis on career opportunities and willingness to be a networking resource and inform his students via his YouTube channel. Overall I highly recommend Professor Lu, but keep in mind Intermediate Accounting is naturally challenging.

Professor Lu was the best accounting teacher I have had at UCLA. He is always very helpful and available for questions, and his hand typed notes are the best. His exams are a time crunch, but if you go to lecture and do the practice problems you will do fine. His exams also prepare you for the CPA exam, and make you memorize and learn all the material so you have less studying to do later for the CPA tests. Professor Lu also really cares for all his students. I wish he taught more classes at UCLA so I could take them.

He is one of the best accounting professors in UCLA. He tries a lot to clarify problems and answer questions from the students. Exams were straight forward if you know how to solve homework and in-class problems.

Professor Lu is one of the best professors I’ve had at UCLA. He is extremely clear in his lectures and is very helpful outside of class time - he wants each and every one of his students to do well in his class and he demonstrates just that. Contrary to what people say, the class is not hard at all. Everything that is tested is in his notes - he tells you exactly what’s gonna be tested and it’s just up to you if you put the effort into studying or not. All it takes is a few hours a week, and you will do just fine. I highly recommend anyone takes his class.

Professor Lu gave us all the notes for his class, which was nice of him. Online lectures are given via Zoom, and he doesn't post them online afterwards, but attendance isn't mandatory, and if you only study off of the notes, you technically could do fine.
You have to buy the online textbook to take the midterm and final, which was annoying.

The grades were 10% quiz (taken early week 1 to test your knowledge), 40% midterm, 50% final. Like all accounting classes, you'll probably have to work hard and study a lot no matter what, so, I mean, it could be worse.

Professor Lu was by far the most accommodating professor I had during COVID-19 and amidst the protests. One thing I wish he did was record the lectures because he often teaches early morning classes, but attendance is not mandatory and if you study his notes thoroughly, then you will be perfectly prepared. Attending lectures is nice though because he will use real-life examples, tell stories, and essentially makes the material more digestible. This class and 120b are typically really difficult, but during the pandemic, we used Connect for our tests and that made it easier. Connect test are pretty straight forward with no trick questions. Professor Lu also made the midterm and final open book, open notes because the Anderson School had not gotten funding yet for Proctorus. I am not sure if that will be the same for later quarters, but the open book definitely made it less stressful. You definitely have to know all the material well, but open book allowed me to go back into my notes and verify answers.
Overall, I really enjoyed Professor Lu. When I did go to lecture, I really enjoyed myself and he is really good at breaking down concepts in his notes

4% Accounting Fundamentals Quiz (taken at the beginning of the quarter)
40% Midterm
56% Final

Professor Lu is one of the best professors I have ever taken at UCLA. He clearly cares about his students a lot, and he provides notes he spent hours typing himself that cover the whole class. You don't need the textbook and the textbook is useless, his notes are more than enough. He also gives tips on what would be tested on the CPA exam, as well tips for recruiting and funny anecdotes that explain accounting concepts.

I took this class online so the exams were taken through the Connect system, which is easier than the normal exams he gives out. The exams were also open notes open book for me since Anderson hasn't approved the proctoring software Professor Lu wanted to use yet, but that might change in the future.

I can't recommend Professor Lu enough, and make sure to save the notes for the CPA exam!
