Comment:

Hui did a great job teaching DiffEq. Always had a clear lecture plan, spoke clearly, great handwriting, and made sure connections between equations were understood before moving on. Exams were mostly re-hashed HW problems (different numbers) up until the final (PDEs). Hard to receive partial credit, but great feedback for missed problems.

Comment:

He's the kind of professor who likes to screw students up. The average of first prelim was a C+, he thought the mean was too high and decided to make the following prelims a lot harder.

Comment:

Sure, his lectures may not have been the most interesting, but it's math, I've yet to have a lecturer that makes this stuff super engaging. I actually thought he was pretty funny, which kept me listening. And the prelims were based on homework and lecture material, so if you know all that, you should be completely fine

Comment:

He's...well, he's not exactly the most interesting professor ever. Pretty much just did other HW in his class and learned everything from the book. The participation grade is really the only reason to go in the first place.

Comment:

His lectures introduced the material necessary for the homework and exams. They weren't very interesting and he's not the most engaging speaker. His exams were inconsistent in level of difficulty but definitely took a lot of cues from the HW sets.

Comment:

I didn't really appreciate the lectures very much and the textbook really sucks at teaching you stuff. I don't know why, but I felt the first exam was the hardest (maybe I didn't get it at first). Then, the second prelim and final had A LOT of homework problems on them and weren't too bad. Study the homeworks if you have Hui as your professor.

Comment:

He did not do a good job of conveying the material to me in an apprehensive way however, other students found him very enthralling. Prof. R. Rand taught a second lecture, I was hooked on him the first day I went. Text was crucial for me.

Hui is a really nice guy, gets so excited about the material. His notes are usually pretty clear and straightforward, but I still had to learn from the book a lot.

Comment:

Hui is a very good teacher. He conveys a seemingly complex material in a very simple fashion, and prepares you well for his prelims.If you go to class,take good notes,and read the book,you should be able to do very well in his class. Prelims were fairly simple and straightforward,though the final was fairly difficult. Overall though,a great teacher

Hui is a great teacher. He is funny and his misuse of english is comical. However, the guy knows his stuff, rarely messes up on the board, and teaches very well. Also, he uses some good and relevant examples.

Good lecturer, very willing to help his students, and very knowledge in many subject areas. The only complaint is that he grades kinda harshly.

Comment:

This guy is insane. He assigns homework problems that he claims "will only take 10 minutes to do" but everyone spends 2 straight days struggling over it. 60% of the class barely passed his take-home exam. And this is a graduate level course and we're all PhD students!

Comment:

I don't understand why everyone likes him. He was not a good teacher, and all his examples came straight from the book. And I CERTAINLY had no problem falling asleep during his lectures...
