Winter 2022 - This is my most enjoyable course at UCLA. Professor Hu is a great lecturer who is very knowledgeable and obviously concerned with our learning of the course materials. His lectures are very clear, efficient, and have a good balance between concepts and examples. I feel like I learned a lot from the class. I also like the small quizzes which helped me stay on top of the contents. Final exam shouldn't be an issue as long as you practice the homework. 105D can be a difficult engineering course otherwise, but this fantastic professor made it very easy.

Spring 2017 - Honestly, the professor isn't even that bad. The class though-the class is a Kafkaesque nightmare of busywork, unclear instructions, useless material, aging equipment (they use computers running Windows 95! your tuition dollars at work...), and did I mention the bulk of your grade is tied to group reports? A student desiring to do well in this class must do so at the cost of participating in more worthwhile activities, because the amount of crap you have to deal with will blot out the sun. Prepare for long nights spent doing the mental equivalent of digging holes in the ground and filling them in, with the added knowledge that you're going deeper into student loan debt for the privilege to do so. This class is proof that the MAE department does not care about the quality or relevance of undergraduate education. As you perform monotonous tests abandoned by industry decades ago and contemplate just ending it all while sifting through the garbage heap of meaningless data, remember this warning and don't complain that nobody told you It'd be THIS bad.
