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 2021 - The class was taught by many professors, but he specifically was a great professor. The class can be tough, it involves a lot of memorization. He never went too fast during lectures, and would allow questions to make sure we understood the material. He always invited us to eat on campus after class!
