She is one of those professors who is super nice but is an absolutely horrible professor. She reads word-for-word off the slideshows and talks directly in front of the computer so you cannot hear a single word you say, even if you sit in the front row. The class was extremely disorganized and messy - due dates and expectations of assignments were always unclear and miscommunicated. I tried for a very long time to attend this class in person but found that it made no difference when I didn't attend. This class is easy because you can get away with a lot on assignments and all of the quiz answers are online - it was only "hard" because it was disorganized and you don't learn anything.

SUPER easy class if you know the secrets - ifykyk, VERY unorganized though. There always was an optional zoom call during lecture if you just didn't feel like going in person which was really nice. It's important material but sooooo easy to put as little effort in as possible and stil pass with flying colors.

very unorganized, cannot use technology, lecture slides are all images and unable to study for (not even a lecture, it's a presentation). Exams are completely new information and BIM labs are led by TAs and difficult to do. complete waste of time but there is no other professor to teach it, so use lecture slides, read the textbook, and rewatch BIM videos for assignments. Homeworks are all group essay on researching things and get 1 extra point for presenting to class.

This is the only time in Architecture that I enjoyed and actually retained anything in the ARCH 46x classes. She is a good professor who makes classes fun and engaging, and explains things simply. The exams were exactly what she taught in class and if you take notes and review the slides you are bound to pass.

This was, at least for me, the hardest architecture class I've taken so far, but it was also very interesting. The class was mainly asynchronous with one optional weekly check in. Professor Hu was very accommodating and took the time to check in with, listen to and help students. The information presented in the class is definitely very helpful and applicable to the real industry. The tests weren't too bad and the assignments were ok as well- if you study and take good notes, you will do well. Professor Hu does a good job of explaining generally complicated things in a context that students can understand. Would recommend!

doesn’t care about the class, isn’t willing to compromise for students mental health or general wellbeing. gg if you take this class
