Why is she here?! If you can't properly articulate, how can you effectively teach?! LANGUAGE BARRIER, BIG TIME!! How can this be allowed!! Are profesors in that high of a demand that students can flunk and think it's then when in all actuality the instructor if bafflin and can not relate or conform to our culture in regards to her teachig methods!!
she is good go but you'll have a hard time if you dont go to class.
great teacher, as long as you show up to class you'll be fine. her english is fine, whoever wrote that other rating is making an excuse for his or her own learning disability

LOL Everything everyone wrote on here is so true. My class wasn't that bad but I can totally see her just standing there letting everyone run a muck like ****s HA! But for real I didn't understand anything this women said couldn't get over the language barrier. So bad that when I took the course over again my first question was can she speak Eng
I'm am not great at math but I earned an A. You must come to class, do the homework and study. Hanli's English is fine, yes she does have an accent. She is available for extra help outside of class + there is the Math Lab. I challenge everyone who complains about her to try teaching Algebra in Chinese!
i highly recommend staying away from this teacher. it's sometimes difficult to understand what she's saying and she tends to speed through the material. don't bother buying the book since we never used it. i wouldn't have passed if i didn't get tutored by a friend. overall, not a very pleasant teacher, DONT TAKE HER!
Repeats everything 2 or 3 times. i really got a kick out of it =)
I didn't think she was that bad. Statistics is a hard subject as it is. She's very nice, it was hard to understand her in the beginning but you get used to it. Oveall i think she was a good teacher!
The class isn?t easy. Attendance is important if you want to do well. There is homework assigned every class, a project, 6 quizzes, and 3 tests. Prof. Huang was a very good teacher. She is always available to help you. (her English is not bad at all.)
This is not an easy class. You have to study and do all homework assignments. But she is a great teacher, who makes sure and goes over all the material you need to know. Take her.
The class it self was really tough but she was a good teacher. Lets you redo 85% of the labs and doesnt count your lowest quiz grade. she does collect the homework daily but doesnt count the lowest 3 scores on it. Take her!!
Stats is really hard. But she goes over the information like 10 times...you have to work hard...she is always there to help you...she will even be like "Are we good" to make sure everyone gets it. She is fantastic.
You can't understand a word she says. I don't recommend taking her. She doesn't explain things well at all. I had to go to the math lab for help after almost every class.
She's very sweet but her accent is incredibly strong and causes discrepancies between what she wants you to do and what you THINK she wants you to do. She's very available for help and will explain over and over if needed. The material itself can be hard but she teaches it well beside the accent. I disliked her at first but loved her at the end.
She is a nice teacher but her accent tends to cover up with certain words so shell repeat herself all the time. Her grading is strict. The labs seemed to be easy but she's very picky so an easy 10 is not so easy. She runs through material fast and when it comes to quizzes she'll give it out half way through the class so the whole class is rushed
Horrible teacher. Dont take her!!!! She doesnt show much interest to help you as a student when you seem to be struggling.
I can understand why everyone's saying the things they're saying, but I actually really liked her. The class itself is work. She always said that your grade is in your hands, and she is merely the messenger. So true though! Her accent isn't that hard at all. She always makes asks the class if they're ok, and if you don't, she'll go over it again :)
She's so far my favorite teacher at brookdale. She's very helpful and will do everything in her power to help you understand the topic as long as you put in the effort. Some people complain about her accent but in my opinion her accent is still understandable. I would pick her as my professor again if i can and i recommend taking her
I absolutely loved her! really easy and explains everything so well!!
This class is hard, but she does a good job of helping. For the lab do the senators...it is easiest. You can hand labs in after class. I hateeeeeee math and still got an A. I would take another math class with her. Explains things well. 3 unit tests, go to test review classes
Awesome teacher. Anyone that is saying something bad about her just doesnt want to do the work. She's a hard grader but the class is EASY ...IF you PAY ATTENTION... great teacher would def take her again
She's very nice but very difficult. She doesn't like older students.
Nice lady, however moves way too fast in class! Rushes through lecture material then lets you have a 30 min quiz for last 15 mins of class! Impossible to get 10/10 on labs- tough grader-the amount of online homework assignments is nearly impossible to complete on top of other courses! Stay away unless you want to be left behind!
She's impossible to please and understand. I got straight A's in math in HS and in my last two math courses. Not a threatening student at all, I literally do as told and stay out of the way. Came to her class and she immediately wrote me off as a threat. Don't even know why. missed one class and she sent a letter home. DO NOT TAKE HER.
To be completely honest, I LOVED her. Yes, she does have an accent but it isn't that bad if you can speak english you can understand her. -She will make any extra time you need. -She is understanding. I would take a class with her again if I could. She was great.
I took Mrs. H. during a summer course. Absolutely loved it. Although material goes by fast, she actually teaches it. Her labs are easy if u pay attention. Quizzes are a little tricky so just study your notes . Tests are average. Not to tough, not to easy. BUT you need to spend extra time studying for this class or you will not pass. Def take again!
GREAT teacher! She is willing to help and work with you when you need the help! Provided a lot of opportunities to help keep your grade up, labs, quizzes and tests. Does not base entire grade on 2 tests throughout the entire semester like others do. I wish she could teach me all my math courses!!!!
This is not an easy class but as long as you show up do the labs and study hard for the tests you should be fine. She gives you chances to re due 6 out of the 9 labs but she is a perfectionist if you do one little mistake she will take points off! Also gives quiz the last 10 mins of class so expect to stay an hour after class when you have a quiz
Such an amazing teacher! My friend took her & got an A after taking a different teacher & failing. So, based on that I took her class. One of the best teachers at Brookdale. She makes a hard subject easy. Don't miss out! Raise your gpa.
I loved her. I never got an A in Math in my entire life. Now I finally achieved it and I'm sure it's because she explains everything over and over and over again if you don't understand it. She expects you to do your work but she also gives a lot of possibilities to raise your grade and uses a lot of examples, which is great.
I love her! I took her this summer. It was intense, and there were lot of materials to study, but as long as you do the homework, and practice a lot, you should be fine. She helps a lot, not only in explaining again things that you don't understand, but also tho boost up your grades.
If you skip class you'll props do horribly.. she offers extra help during her office hours. Her exams are hard
GO TO CLASS AND STAY ON TOP OF THE ON LINE WORK AND YOU'LL BE FINE
She's tough. Have to be on time every time, class labs every class as attendance, but she gives lots of credit for hw and lots of practice problems. Gives extra credit only if you actually try in class. Not a lot of teachers have this quality, she teaches you to the point where you walk away actually learning algebra.
I am not the best at math but ended passing. do the homework and when she gives you reviews do them! they are basically the test. Go to every class because the labs are worth points and she drops the lowest grade. The material is hard so be prepared to put in extra work. The professor herself is nice & helpful. Worth taking her if u have the option
Professor Huang is tough. She moves fast through the material and will skip steps so it can be easy to get confused. Personally a wonderful lady. The tests are rough, if you ask for help it is there. Gives quizzes and exams at the end of the class after learning new material. That made it very difficult for me.
No clue what she mumbles.
I cannot understand her. Sorry I took this class. You need to know Math to figure out what she explains.
Ms. Huang cares a lot about her students and how much work you put in. If you make her job difficult by sleeping in class or by being disrespectful/not doing work, but expect to get an A then your wrong! Ms huang is all about being fair. shes always available outside class in her office to help any of students. Shes a great teacher!
do the homework and exam reviews bc they are basically the test. Go to every class because the labs are worth points (which she allows groups). The material is hard and she goes over it quick so be prepared to put in work. She is helpful and wants you to do good. I would recommend her only if you are willing to put in a little work.
I really didn't like the way she taught. Her english was very hard to understand and i agree she goes very fast through the lessons. I thought i was the only one who was having trouble in her class but it turned out a group of other people as well had trouble with her too. Nice lady though
Really hard to understand. I had to basically teach my self the entire semester. I consider my self pretty good with math. In HS i never got below a B this is the first ever math class I failed. Theres alot of online HW that you need to keep up with.
You really have to put in time and effort if you want to do well. As long as you pay attention and do the homework it is not hard to pass. You get to do group quizzes, so easy A's.. but you usually end up having to stay after class to finish in the math lab so beware.
By far one of the worst professors i have taken at brookdale. i am very good at math i have never received an F in my life until her class. She barely speaks english and she knows it so she never repeats herself, because she thinks you're being rude for not understanding her. if you need help its "tough luck"
Had her for a sub a few times. Couldn't understand anything she said! She doesnt event teach, she just rambles on and finshes the lecture .
As long as you take notes and pay close attention you should pass smoothly. Studying for tests is a MUST!
Took her over Summer I. The course breakdown was test heavy, 75% of final grade. No a bad teacher, hard to understand sometime, but knows what she is doing. If you plan to take this professor be prepare to work a lot, hours worth of work. Also, if you take her, I'd recommend taking her in the 11/15-week semesters rather than the 6-week semesters.
One of the worst professors I've ever had. Went through each chapter too fast and would not stop to help if you were struggling. If you're not great in math don't take her class.
Mrs. Huang is definitely one of my favorite professors this spring. I actually just registered for her 152 in the fall. She really cares about her students. All you have to do to pass her class is pay attention. If you need extra help because math is not your strong suit her office hours are available, there is also the math lab, and kahn academy
Awful teacher, barely willing to help students highly do NOT recommend taking her. I am in her class now she has awful teaching style and her English is broken. Do not recommend this class. Gives A LOT of work, hard grader doesn't seem to care about students grades.
Very willing to help students. If you pay attention in her class you can get a passing grade- go after for help if you don't understand and you can't fail. Yes, she's really fast with her lectures so it can be hard to keep up but she's really a nice teacher, don't knock her until you get her class.
Awful teacher, probably the worst i ever had. Broken english and goes at her own pace and doesnt care to slow down. id never recommend anyone to take this professor because she is actually awful. Tests are the only thing that matter in this class because of how heavy they weigh. If you get her i advise you to get out as fast as possible.
I have no clue how I got that B while two of my tests were A
Shes a really nice professor, her accent may be a bit challenging to understand but it was relatively easy for me. Wants her students to succeed and definetly takes the time to answer any questions someone may have. However, she does go pretty fast, if shes moving too quick ask her to slow down and shell gladly go over it again
So bad. She was awful and not English nonspeaking. She did did not teach well.
I took Huang for 152. Absolutely the worst professor Ive ever had at brookdale. Incredibley stubborn and could care less about her students personal lives. Wound up barely passing the class because I missed some due to funerals, Huang did not help at all and basically penalized me the whole way. DO NOT TAKE THIS AWFUL LADYS CLASS.
Professor H was a very caring professor the tests were a little hard and there were quizzes almost every other class. Although it was a lot of work she was very caring and wanted everyone to pass and do their best. Just study, and do what you're supposed to!
Bad at teaching she was so boring and corrected me about something in front of the class shes a tough grader and moved fast not very understanding but she is approachable and will help you if you need help. I think shes too strict and that makes getting an A very difficult. If you care about your grade take a different professor!!
Imagine learning the hardest math concepts you have ever heard of and the teacher who has been mastering it for years expects you to understand in a single class. Each class after the next gets harder using more and more stuff learned in the previous class. All the hw, quizzes, and labs could barely help my test grades nor could the teacher care.
I have her for an online class this summer. She is HORRIBLE. She does not provide us with material before class starts and then expects us to know everything she is talking about. She is rude and does not care at all about her students. Get out when you can.
She's really sweet, but I wish she was as good as a person as much as a professor. She's a really tough grader and she's difficult to understand at times, so you got to really pay attention. There's at least 1 quiz/test a week, and required homework. So if you want a professor that won't fry your brain in stress, look elsewhere.
Math is not my strong suit, despite prof H heavy accent, I was able to pass. You get used to her accent after a class or2, she talks loudly which helps, & she does care about all her students if you actually care about the class/passing. She makes sure you understand before moving to next question/topic. She will help if struggling, just reach out.
Professor Huang is very ineffective. She expects you to teach yourself out of 3 separate text books. During class she will give brief examples of new material then move to something else. If you need help sue will refer you to the math lab. I got an A in the class below this one. I am currently failing her class. That should say it all.
Mrs. H is a very nice lady, but a very bad professor. Her classes move at a boringly slow pace. Slow to a point where it is very hard to remain focused. She will often teach a lesson, then move on to another lesson, then quiz you on the first one weeks after you will have moved on from it. I would never recommend her class to anyone
The class average for exams was 33%. She gives what she calls 'mini-assessments' at the end of every class (quizzes that you don't get to study for) but emphasizes the importance of preparation and studying. I spent countless hours in the math lab which I shouldn't have to if she' teaching but she'snot. Document what she says, later shell deny it.
I took Stat as a 6-week summer course. Live lectures were online and had to have the camera on and facing you to get attendance points. If you don't practice the problems and optional homework, you won't pass. Exams were lengthy and you MUST show ALL work to receive any credit. She was very clear about the fast pace of the course from day one.
Always around in math lab for extra help
Towards the beginning of the semester, I thought Professor Huang was a great teacher, but I was terribly wrong. This is the first time I've ever had to withdraw from a class because of the stress and pressure. Professor Huang is a great person, however, she is a terrible professor. I feel stupid for not reading her ratings before taking her class.
I can see why people that are taking this course the first time don't like this professor, but this is my second time taking math 025. She is lecture-heavy, and with her teaching style its a bit hard to understand her, but if you do the hw and quizzes you're all good.
Professor Huang was a great professor. Sometimes she goes really fast, but every time I practice I get really good scores. However, I am taking her again and I am not doing so hot in that class, but she encouraged me to practice more. She gives us candy in class frequently. Really cares about her students a lot to move on.
You can tell she ultimately cares about the success of her students, but isn't the best at explaining material despite being pretty lecture-heavy. You'll get by alright if you're self-sufficient and can practice through homework/in-class labs, but maybe avoid her class if you tend to struggle with math or need help often.
Overall, a very hard teacher. I think anyone taking this class is not good at math. I feel like the Professor isn't aware of this or doesn't care. No real lessons, you have to teach yourself and not being good at this subject makes is very hard. I would never take her again.
She's such a tough grader and if you don't show basically every single step you get points off. I'd never take her again. I got 15 points taken off bc I used the "wrong scale" on a graph. Mind you I was taught to use as much of the graph as I can AT Brookdale and she wanted me to use like 1/3 of the graph.
Professor Huang is a great teacher and person in general. Even though I did not pass her class, she tried her best to help me succeed. Caring for her students, but you have to be willing to put in the work.
Great professor who cares about the students. There is a lot of homework but these helped to perform better overall. Class is also fast-paced. Try not to miss any classes!
The reason professor Huang is unpopular is not because of her teaching skills. If you pay attention and truly want to learn instead of just receive a high letter grade, professor Huang is an excellent teacher. That being said, there are other professors who will grade a lot easier and give you a higher GPA though you may not actually learn as much.
I had professor Huang for Intro Data Science Applied Stats and her grading criteria couldn't have been any more clearer and fair. I know how to use R like an expert thanks to her and as long as you pay attention you will understand how things are done. This is the class to take and I would gladly take any other classes with her. Truly amazing!
If you arent great at math and need to learn the fundamentals of algebra again Hanli is absolutely not the teacher for you. Cant understand everything she says. Teaches in an awkward cadence.
She cares about her students, but her class is boring, and she's hard to understand at times. She lectures the whole time and expects about 5 hours of homework weekly. She also made us take a test in the testing center, saying she "didn't have time" to give it in class. Overall, not a great experience.
She is a great person no doubt, but she's an awful professor. just don't take it if math is not your cup of tea
She really cares about her students! Very sweat lady just personally if you're not gonna study out of class and actually put the work in then she's not for you. She's def a fair teacher can be hard to understand her at times. Can be a tuff grader as well but she will work with you as long as you put the work in.
Great professor but a tough grader. Homework is graded for accuracy, which can hurt if you're struggling. Expect lots of assignments and 9 quizzes a semester. Balancing this with other classes is tough. Overall a solid teacher, but you'll need to work hard to pass. Class really accelerates during the second half of the semester.
Absolutely horrible teacher. I just wasted so much time and my summer to take this class with her
TOUGH CLASS but she is a great teacher and will help if you just ask!
