Reviews of professor Ling Xu

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Difficult to understand, and her handwriting + disorganized notes don't help. Skips a lot of steps so if you get left behind, you are COOKED! Only solves problems and goes through her notes during class. There is a review study guide, and she posts the notes online so I can appreciate that + she allows a cheat sheet on the tests. Nice person.

Since it was an online course you had to watch the lectures and try to learn from them, sometimes emails won't get replied to as quick as you need but she will answer. Don't rely too much on the internet sometimes you do just have to watch the videos and learn

Professor Ling Xu is not for someone that do not have a good understanding of math she moves fast AND has a accent. She do give opportunity for extra credit but she do not curve anything. Allows for cheat sheet on test but not exam.

I took Xu's Calc II course and it was fairly disorganized. We would have homework assignments due on the same day as quizzes (not bad), but the topics in the quiz will be in homework future assignments. She also does not explain concepts well and will tell the class to "accept it" if we are confused. Most of the class failed the first exam.

If you don't like lectures, don't take her, she writes her notes directly onto the board. But If you work better by copying information and asking questions about it, it is the class for you. She doesn't use the textbook and answers any questions you have during or before class. Although there are only 5 tests you can use a cheat sheet for them.
