She answers all questions in class. Like most classes, attendance is not mandatory, but it helps. Her classes get pretty boring within the first 20 minutes and she uses power points. When she goes through her notes,you have to speed type or write. I use my laptop during class and have a hard time keeping up with her speed and inevitable distraction
good teacher. weekly online homework. do the pretest online cause half of those questions are on her exams. only 2 tests and a final. you can print out most of the notes from online and then during class you just fill in the blanks. i never had to use the book unless i didnt attend class. just do the homework and go to class and you should be fine
She talks kind of soft, and flies through the material. You have to buy access to a website for 80 bucks plus the cost of the textbook which kind of a bummer. Gives practice exams beforehand and a lot of those questions are on the test. It's not particularly hard, but i probably wouldn't take her again.
She seems like shes okay but let me tell u ...i read the chapters and went to class for the most part...i ended up with a 79...she doesnt curve even up to a point...talks too softly...textbook aplia is expensive to buy and everything is online...miss one deadline for homework then your a little screwed... she seems nice though but her class was har
This class was impossible to pay attention in. Her thick accent made it impossible to understand her and some words were not even recognizable. She talks way too soft so it was hard to pay attention. Study your book hard and you won't need to go to class.
She has a VERY strong accent. Plus she lectures only and sometimes gives quizzes. Economy is one of those subject that not everyone can comprehend easily. Its very hard and so I wish this teacher done something else like a video presentation or something! Also this teacher does not like when she sees half of her class is gone So she gives more quiz
This class in its self is not easy to understand. She has a thick accent, so to try to understand her with a subject that is already hard, is a double wammy. When you go to her for help, all she recommends is going to SI, I did that and still not easily put if the teacher doesnt make it plain for you. Her exams & quizes are hard.
VERY strong accent. I had a horrible time trying to understand her. Gives pop quizzes so you have to go to class. Tests are hard. Your book is your only friend. And she does not give any kind of extra credit. Don't recommend taking her!
It is not just the thick accent. She asks her class if everybody understands the lecture and when no one answers, she just moves on to the next topic. I thought professors are supposed to make sure the students understand. The first exam average in my class was a 60. Go figure.
Yeah. I have no interest in Economics but I do go to this class everyday (basically bc I have a class before and after. I recommend it) but this class is HARD. The only reason I got a C on the First test was bc I sat upfront and Cheated. (again recommend) SI is a Joke. She doesn't even know whats going on. Take another Professor.
GO TO CLASS! The material is hard enough. She does her best to explain, and if you put in the effort, you should be fine. For having over 300 hundred students in the class I think she does a good job at explaining things.
GO TO CLASS! It's a hard enough subject to begin with. For having 300 students I think she does her best at explaining the material, and if you put the effort into it and study, you should be fine.
She seems sweet and she knows her stuff, but let me tell you...NOT teaching material. Never mind the accent, this lady graded us on only 4 exams. No homework, no extra credit, no in-class assignments, nothing to help boost your grade. Material was rushed because she had some damn conference to go to and everyone was doing well to make a C. MISTAKE.
Her powerpoints & tests were straight from the book. All the test questions were fairly easy if you study, there is no trick questions/answers. She does have a thick accent to where at times you dont know what shes saying. The class average consisted of only 4 tests the whole semester. I have an A right now. If you like economics then she is alrigh
Great Professor! Did not have to touch the book. Printed out her power points and studied them. She walks around the entire lecture hall (300 People) helping students and answering questions. Very helpful, and very approachable!
She's a really sweet teacher!! 4 tests, no hw or quizzes. must study the power points for her tests!! overall easy class
Very easy class. You do not have to buy the textbook if you go to class, and you barely have to do that. I pulled an A without going the last month of class and just studying the powerpoints put online with a friend. If you're having trouble in the class sit in the aisle seats, she helps those students the most.
Read Slide shows, and remember the definitions. A lot of the test questions come from her questions in class. Fairly easy class. 4 Test(final not accumulative) , no hw or extra credit.
easiest macro/micro professor. Print notes, fill out the missing slides she goes over, copy the 8 multiple choice questions/answers she gives at the end of every ppt chapter (those are WORD FOR WORD ON TEST... 3 chapters per test 8 questions per chapter meaning half your test she just gives you), read ppt/questions night before test, GET AN A.
Learn your vocab. and write down all the questions at the end of the chapters, they are on the test WORD FOR WORD. If you do that you should be fine.
4 tests. no homework. no need for the book unless you need help. curve 85+ is an A. Questions she asks at the end of each class are on the test. just copy down ,understand the material. an easy A
It's actually an easy class. 4 exams,85 and above is A. her class is actually easy to understand, 5-6 practice questions at the end of the class(u'd better write it down)..and 80% of those questions are on the exams..spend couple hours on memorizing questions and study her ppt, then u'll be fine on ur exams..anyway, personally, her class is good
She's very sweet. Let me take my final early. All you do is take notes on the PPTs and read the text and you'll be fine. Attendance not mandatory. It's a self help class and very simple.
Print all the PPTs. First exam was easy and was taught clearly. After that it would be best to just study the materials on your own while still attending class. She also gives you the answers to 50% of the questions on the exam; and that's why attendance is mandatory
Took her for intro to micro. Although the class was easy, she's got to be one of the worst teachers on campus. Her accent is thick, her lectures incredibly boring, and she doesn't explain the material well. The only reason to go to lectures is to get 50% of the test questions. If you are not naturally good at economics DO NOT take Hu.
Personally i thought she was really easy. Go to class, if you attend all lectures, she posts test questions at the end of every chapter. Copy down those questions and memorize them for the exam, it's EXACTLY the same. 85+ is an A so it's pretty fair and easy. She does have an accent, so try to sit up front or in the sides and you'll be fine!
She is nice enough but the material is not condensed well at all, the math problems on the test are from the exercises in class or the practice questions so don't bother memorizing all the equations. She explains it well enough but make sure you know the big picture and how things work because the test questions can be tricky
Took her for both macro and micro at the same time! I thought she was easy. She tries to get the class involved and she really cares! 85 and above is an A. She gives out practice problems at the end and they show up on the test which was VERY helpful. At times, she was difficult to understand but if you read the textbook it really helps! Take her!
Hard class, her powerpoints can be confusing sometimes. I read the book and understoo it better than her. NO EXTRA CREDIT. Only 4 exams, not accumlative. Gives pracice questions, but no study guides :(
Class is difficult but she really helps her students understand. Has an accent but you can still understand what she's saying. Having the book/going to class is a must. Gives questions/answers at the end of every class - test questions! don't take pictures bc she gets pissed but copy down exactly. walks around during practice ?s to offer help!
very thick accent that makes this course very challenging. Reading the book helps a lot.
She reuses a lot of practice questions from class on her tests. A LOT. If there are ay questions you have about the content, most of the time it's also in the textbook. Otherwise, the textbook is unnecessary. An 85+ in this class is an A, and I got a 93. Just memorize the bold-faced text in the slides, the trends, and the parts of a curve.
I don't understand why she has a low rating. It's very straightforward: 4 exams and 4 assignments. Attendance and buying the book is optional. She does get a bit confusing at times, but you could always study the PowerPoints she posts online and the questions she gives during class or attend SI sessions. It's really an easy A, and she's very nice.
Professor Hu is a outstanding teacher! I can't believe she has such a low rating on here. She explains the material very well and uses interesting examples. Her tests are very straight forward, and all you need to study are the power points she uses in class. Overall, this class was never a worry for me because Prof. Hu was great!
Her accent is really hard to understand at times. Her syllabus is clear and doesn't change. There isn't any extra credit. The final isn't cumulative. This is a class that you really need to study for, there's no way around it. Her A is an 85 and so on.
The class is ridiculously easy, don't have to go to class to get an A test are directly off power points posted on blackboard. There are 4 Test including the final, none are cumulative, which count for 90% of your grade. The rest is from 4 assignments throughout the semester.
She is super easy, test directly from the power-points, and nothing is cumulative. She also dresses nicely.
Only went to class five times and that was to take test and turn in Q assignments. Just read the chapters a couple days before the test and you are guaranteed an A. Test are very easy multiple choice questions.
The class is very easy. But she is very hard to understand. I went to class and studied the power points and made A's on every single test. And for her class you get an A for 85-100%. (not 90-100% like most classes) So I would recommend her
Lectures aren't mandatory, but she gives test questions word-for-word after each one. An 85 is an A. Just read the powerpoints and understand them in order to make a decent grade. She encourages students to go to office hours. Overall, the class was great
NOT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND. Everyone said she was but she really wasn't. It's best if you go to class, study hard and read the book and the tests are okay.
Class is overall pretty easy with 4 assignments. At the end of each lecture she will show you sample questions which you can copy down. No pictures allowed so be a fast writer/typist.
Very boring but also very easy. 85% is an A. At the end of each class she goes over questions that are on the test WORD FOR WORD so copy them down. Good for non majors. Also all you need are her powerpoints but it doesnt hurt to pay attention in class either.
Class was VERY HARD. She is difficult to understand! Says you don't need a book but you do.She goes through the material very quickly and expects you to know what she is talking about. The only good thing is that she gives you test questions at the end of class and her grade scale is easy. DO NOT TAKE! I didn't learn a thing and never missed class.
I found this class to be extremely easy. Pay attention in class and make sure to understand the ppt activities. Each test is only a few chapters so there isn't too much material to study for. Her accent didn't bother me at all. At the end of each lecture, she reviews upcoming test questions so don't miss those!
Not too bad of a teacher. You can either go to every class and take notes and listen to the powerpoints or if you're bad about going to class just read the chapters from the book and take notes. The tests are not that hard and the final is not cumulative. Also an 85 is considered an A for the course.
If you do not like Economics, DO NOT TAKE HER. She has a strong accent and she only goes over powerpoints that you can find online. At the end of each class she gives test questions. The only grades she has are two assignments and four tests.
Dr. Hu is a very sweet lady. All you need is an 85 to get an A. It can be hard to understand her at times. Her English isn't the greatest. Go through the powerpoints and you should be ok. The class can get a bit confusing. Go talk to her if you don't understand something. She is willing to help you!
She basically just stands up there and talks about stuff on the slides that you can then go home and look at on blackboard if you want. Strong accent but you can understand her. If you attend class, read the book a little, you should get a good grade easily. She gives answers to some questions from upcoming tests to promote attendance. Decent class
2 post-test assignments, 4 tests including finals, finals non-cumulative. When you start learning about theories (after 2nd test), you better crack open the textbook and read. Gives exam questions after every lecture, bring a laptop. A bit of an accent when speaking, but understandable.
tests were very easy. You only need an 85 to get an A in the class. She knows it's an intro course and she doesn't explain more than you need to know. Pretty easy A, just go over the powerpoints and go to class. Easiest way to pass
Took her for Microeconomics and if you read the book and understand the material, you don't need to attend lectures at all. Her final is non-cumulative and and the end of each lecture she gives out questions that you will most likely see on that chapter's test. She does have a bit of an accent but still understandable. VERY GOOD sense of fashion.
I must say, it was a taugh class. Her accent was pretty strong, and I'm asian. I had to drop her class cause I couldn't understand her. I recommend to take this course at a community college and transfer the credit over. All of the teachers here are kinda hard if you take it as a freshman or sophomore cause all the good teachers are taken FAST.
She's not impossible to understand, but it's no walk in the park, either. The material itself is pretty easy. She gives you time to do practice problems in class, but is not particularly helpful if you don't arrive at the correct answer. Went to class mostly for "practice" questions at end of lecture which were straight from the test. Recommend.
Took her class and only showed up for practice questions that would be on the exams. She basically reads off power points which are online anyway. 4 tests including the final all non cumulative, 2 QLA assignments. Easy class to pass.
Take this professor if you're just taking macroecon as an elective, because it's a definite easy A, but you might not learn as much as you'd like to. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's highly recommended because she gives out test questions at the end of each class. Tests are multiple choice, easy, and very few in the semester.
Yes, she does have a bit of an accent. Other than that, solid prof. She expects her students to take an active role in their education but she doesn't ask for too much. If you just put in a little bit of time and go to class, you'll be fine. Tests are straight from lectures.
She is a bit hard to understand but the class is every easy. Just go to class now and then and look at the powerpoint and you will pass for sure. She gives test questions at the end of every class so make sure to write them down. Don't need the book at all. Easy class for sure.
As long as you study the powerpoints before the tests you'll be ok. Professor Hu gives practice problems during class which helps a lot too. Her accent was a little hard to understand at first, but you get used to it. She's really intelligent and she'll give you help if you need it.
4 exams, 1 assignment for a macroeconomics course is nice. You get what you work for. She gives out 5 test questions at the end of each class so it's about half the questions to the test. Never went to class, made a B. But, that involved me cram studying for the tests. The tests are tough, you actually need to cram memorize.
Her accient is kinda tough to understand at times. There are 4 tests which are all non cummlative. Attendance is not mandatory but she gives sample questions at the end that are on the test so it's recommended! Her lectures are somewhat complicated so her test are kinda difficult and she treats students as if they're stupid sometimes.
She's Asian so... Yeah sit in the front, her accent isn't that clear. She gives out "sample questions" straight from the test so memorize those! Her lectures are straight from the slides then she posts them on Blackboard, so you can miss class if you feel very confident in Macro Economics. She's so sweet and has a really good sense of fashion!
No, No, No. Do not take Hue for Macroeconomics. She drops the grade rubric by 5 points (85 for an A, 75 for a B, etc.) and gives a couple meaningless extra credit handouts. The catch? Her exams, barring the first one, are impossible to pass. You'll study and attend class, and leave with a 50 at best. She's not helpful either, in office or in class.
yue hu is not that bad at all. an 85 is an A in this class and at the end of class she gives out extra credit assignments which helps a lot. yes, exams are pretty tough BUT if you are determined and study her ppts over and over (find ways to get it in your head) then you should do good. end questions is very HELPFUL so make sure to get them.
She's an OK professor. Easy class to pass, just print out powerpoints and copy down and memorize the sample questions she does at the end of class. Those questions are on the test. Barely went to class and still passed each test with little studying effort. Her grading rubric is nice, and 3 tests, a non cumulative final, 1 assignment, and 2 quizzes
I laughed at whoever said that this class is not passable! This class is easy to pass. Go to the lectures and take notes, she goes through examples in class. At the end of class she puts up questions THAT WILL BE ON THE TEST! wow, super easy. Study the graphs as well as the basic concepts presented in class, text isn't needed that much.
Her dress attire is delicate and nice. She is a good teacher once you understand her accent, which wont take but a class or two. Honestly its hard course in general, but she does a good job at teaching IMO. There are these little practices each day and she goes around and individually helps people. (Even in a class size of around 200.)
Her accent makes her unclear and does not answer emails
It is a little hard to understand her. She teaches off power point but I suggest reading the chapters. The tests are tough, but if you study you will pass. She does not take attendance. Only 1 homework assignment. You need to work for this class in order to pass.
Professor Hu is a decent teacher, her lectures are boring and feel really long. The upside is that at the end of class she will go over "simple questions" that will be on the test, so write them down!! I took her both for micro and macro, surprisingly I did much better in micro? Take the class, because the simple questions at the end will safe you.
Good professor, teaching style is simple yet perfect, if you go to class you'll get a good grade. teaches directly from her power points which is easy to access via blackboard and she gives you a reward of sample questions (which mostly all are on the exam) at the end of each class. Miss class? that's fine, just read the textbook/power point.
Professor is nice and accent isn't too hard to understand. Expect a strange pronunciation for certain common words though lol.. otherwise her class is fine. Quite long and boring lectures but that's how both macro and microeconomics seem to be. Just learn to expect it I guess. Powerpoint are posted online and attendance isn't mandatory.
She mispronounces some words, but if you listen to the context of the sentence and look at the PowerPoint, she really is not that hard to understand. The class is really easy. Her only grades are tests, and her tests are ridiculously easy. If you pay attention to the first unit, literally all the others are logical consequences of that.
She has hard tests and does not cover all material. You must read to pass.
Easy class. Lectures that you don't have to go to and 4 tests. No cumulative final. I'm taking her again for micro economics
Dr. Hu is a pretty okay professor. She tends to rush some of the lectures but the class overall is easy to pass. She significantly lowers her grading standards so that an 85 is an A. She also gives out test questions at the end of class. Usually she gives out around 20 questions and there are 50 questions the test. Read the book and you'll pass.
If you want to take a standard economics class which actively challenges your understanding of economics with feedback, then don't take the course from this teacher. The whole course is just a power point and then a test. Maybe the SI sessions would help but if you can't go to SI daily then I recommend dropping the class rather then risking it.
This professor was really helpful and took time during her lectures to walk around the entire lecture hall to help students with the example on the projector. She has a thick accent but it is understandable of you are paying attention. Tests are straight forward and are only 4 answer choices. Read the chapter before coming to class.
She never helped when I was struggling. I'm an A student and I just couldn't get the hang of this course. When I went in for help, she pretty much blew me off and said figure it out yourself.
If you think this class is hard, then I sincerely wonder how you're going to make it in the rest of your college courses. Attendance isn't mandatory and she puts her slides up online at the beginning of the semester. An 85 is an A, so if you study the slides and think for yourself a little, this is an easy B, and an A if you try.
As a person who doesn't excel nor enjoy math in any course, this wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. The professor has an accent but after maybe two lectures you'll easily understand her. This course is not at all difficult and everyone should make an A. There are only 3 exams an assignment and the final is NOT cumulative which is really nice.
She is very nice and sweet. Her lectures are entertaining and she walks around the entire auditorium which makes it feel more interactive. Her powerpoints are on BB and you can study them for the exams. After every lecture she goes over questions that will be on the test. Pretty easy class!
Only 4 tests, drops 1 blessing Don't have the book, too expensive? Don't worry the G uploads practice questions/and slides which is 99% from the book, didn't even open the book cause he provided everything. Stuck on questions? haha funny. Literally uploads PRACTICE question videos. STILL STUCK? No, the man has a YouTube Channel that explains :)
Only grades are exams go to si sessions and watch videos and youre set
Online class because of COVID. Not much interaction between student and professor. Class was graded on tests so be prepared to study.
Four exams, lowest grade dropped (I was able to opt-out of test 4 since I already had an A lol). Not much interaction with professor since they already posted lectures in advance. Personally, I followed the textbook while the lecture was playing. Mainly just pay attention to lectures and practice questions and you should do fine.
The class was online, but she posted the lecture slides as well as a video lecture for you to watch on designated class days. She also uploaded supplemental stuff to help understand. The grade was based on 4 tests which the lowest grade is dropped. she posts test reviews the week before and the reviews are VERY SIMILAR to the test so it is easy.
Almost 0 interaction between professor and students. She sends an email out the day before a test to remind you about it. Most of her lectures are another professors videos that teaches at another school. STRONGLY recommend going to SI sessions if you don't do well on the tests. Only 4 tests, lowest grade is dropped. She does post PPT slides.
Great Professor! Easy class! Zero Stress! Take it, no regrets, especially if it's online. Four exams and one is dropped. This professor should be rated a 5, she is great! Taking her again next semester!
Online class with her is an easy pass. If you are looking to REALLY learn and be TAUGHT, she is not for you. She is nice but I didn't learn anything. You have to teach yourself with videos posted.
Professor Hu is generally quick to respond and clearly answers questions so long as you ask. This course was very simple and in your own hands. This Professor also made it easy to calculate your grade yourself, to help you stay on track!
Great professor. The first few chapters were covered by videos from a different professor who explains the material really well. She posts practice questions for all exams and videos that explain those questions. 4 exams, lowest grade dropped. This class is an easy A if you pay attention and read the book. I'm taking her again next semester.
This class included four exams covering chapters within the course, the lowest test grade is dropped. There is no other homework included. If you go over the PowerPoint given and answer the practice questions then there is no reason to get an A. If you really want to learn and develop your understanding of economics, don't take this course.
Only 3 tests, final is optional if you are happy with your grade. (drops the lowest exam) . Lectures are clear and short, gives practice questions similar to exams. Take her! zero stress
Only 4 tests throughout the year and one gets dropped, and some of the questions on the tests are straight from the practice questions that are provided
Easy A class. Only graded on 4 exams, one is dropped. All of her lectures were posted at the beginning of the semester (half of them were youtube videos of another professor). She didn't do much and there were not many assignments, but her class is an easy A
Just 4 quizzes and she drops the lowest one. One a month. throughout the semester. Simple go to office hours, watch the videos, and do the practice questions and you're good!
Super easy course. Took her for both Macro and Microeconomics. 4 tests and the lowest grade gets dropped. Easy A
