Comment:

He was a super nice teacher, but his accent made it a little hard. Mostly the subject didn't interest me, but he made it all right. Lectures are boring, but what do you expect? It's calculus.

It was very difficult to understand him. The test comes straight of the book, so you don't even really need to go to class.

Comment:

Prof's level of English and pronunciation impeded learning. Probably a good teacher, but has random epic fail pronunciation on some important terms. Sometimes I can only figure out what he meant by reading the book on my own, which completely defeats the purpose of a lecturer.

Comment:

Lectures are straight from book which makes it hard to pay attention, but every now and then he throws in some important info you need to know about the tests or something else. Tests are straight from the homework and are very doable.

Comment:

Professor Huang is helpful and is genuinely interested in his students learning the information. I didn't have trouble with his accent, but some people did. If you sit in the front, you should be fine. All of the exam questions are taken directly from homework and lecture.

Just study his lecture notes and you'll do fine. All the questions on the midterms/final are composed of lecture notes. There was barely any hw problems.

Both midterms so far have been comprised of either homework problems or examples from class. Not bad at all.

Comment:

Quiz and exam problems are STRAIGHT out of the book. Lectures out of the book too. TA was very helpful. He assigns odd problems but if you do the even problems too, you will surely ace this class. Study the examples in each chapter!!

Comment:

Being a chinese myself, i tell u that he will occasionally let a few chinese word slip out of his mouth. hehe, u can see how bad his english is. but his class is easy, TA really matters, good TA make ur life much easier. don't trust those who put negative comments, those are who don't work even a little, u need to work very little to get A.

Comment:

One of the thickest Chinese accents I have ever encountered. He was always there for office hours and responded to my e-mails promptly. He lets the TA's make the quizzes so if you have a TA out to screw the students, he will. He originally didn't plan on curving, but since the class got a 56% on the midterm, he was forced to. Do your HW and you'll

Horrible accent, and I'm not one that usually minds them. No website, no responding to e-mails. Teach yourself from the book is the name of the game. Horrible. Save yourself.

Comment:

If this guy is still teaching, evaluations don't do a damn thing. I had this guy 2 years ago, and he is still the worst professor I have ever encountered at UCI. Worst english accent I've ever heard, doesn't curve, very unhelpful in his office hours. Plan on teaching yourself from the book
