Winter 2023 - Shu Liu is amazing, and is one of my favorite professors at UCLA. Grading Scheme was 50% HW, 15% Midterm, 34% Final, 1% Evaluation Survey at the end of class. You could also drop the Midterm for the Final. HW's were very straightforward and he gives you more than enough time to do them. Exams are very similar to the practice exams. He records lectures, and is very accessible in Office Hours. If you have any coding experience prior to taking his class, you can put in very minimal effort and expect an A. I can't say enough good things about this guy, take his class.

Winter 2025 - Great professor. Offered extra credit twice and exams were VERY fair (basically the practice exams). Homework is manageable and lectures are easy/clear to follow. Would take again for another PIC class. He is nice and held review sessions before each exam, allowed cheat sheets on the exams too. Many people would finish the exams early. Recommend this professor for 20A!!
