Reviews of professor Junshu Bao

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Had Queen Junshu and loved it. Always prepared for class. Class consisted of one weekly homework and an occasional quiz. She made attendance bonus. And there were two projects that were very easy.

If you are taking the course because you have to or do not want to put in a lot of effort, Bao is the way to go. Minimal effort for decent grade, she is not a great teacher, but you will get by. She assigns homework almost every week. homework was worth half the final grade and she is understanding about personal situations.

Dr. Bao is a good prof who really cares about her students. Her 1261 class is a bit too ez imo because assignments are ez if you have any prior experience with R or programming and you even get extra credit for attendance. That said, the class is still good because the material is still very useful and the hw directly applies concepts from lecture.

She does everything she can to ensure that you pass. The midterm and final are open note, she provides study guides, and publishes the answers to all homeworks and tests online, there was an extra credit hw. The hws are hard and time consuming, but they are sometimes in the textbook, and she is very available outside of class. Highly Recommend.
