Reviews of professor Xin Jiang

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Jiang is knows the material well and teaches a very interesting class. She greatly enjoys participation, and she genuinely wants her students to succeed and will work with you if you work with her. She is very serious and is not an extremely generous grader but is a great teacher. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in sociology

Professor Jiang is typically nice and is clearly overwhelmed by having class virtual & I can't blame her but I dreaded having to attend class. She takes attendance everyday. The material is super boring. She flipped through powerpts that no one paid attention to. Her assignments aren't super clear but it isn't hard to do well if you put in effort.

Avoid at all costs. Every class is a monotone lecture pulled from your already required weekly textbook readings. Prof is wildly unhelpful getting clear grading criteria across and grades incredibly harshly for a 1000 level class with no rubrics. Class is unorganized and unhelpful but unfortunately attendance is mandatory ....

Her criminology class was very work-load heavy, but I thought it was interesting so I didn't mind too much. She is very strict on attendance, and 1 minute late to class = 80% for the day. However, she is a good teacher despite being scary. The 3 essays, group project, and 2 exams are a lot to balance, but the grading isn't too tough.

I was excited to take criminology, expecting to love the class. She made it miserable; she would go through the slides too fast and wouldn't post them to canvas, even if we asked. Her grading criteria were super unclear; she wouldn't answer any questions or concerns and didn't seem to care about us actually learning. Don't take her in any class.

I would never wish this class or professor on anyone. Genuinely. This woman made me and my classmates so miserable. Doesn't respond to emails, doesn't give feedback, doesn't care about helping us. Her motto, if you choose to visit her office hours, is "I won't do it for you." Awesome, right? I have never regretted taking a class more. Save yourself

No rubric and really boring lectures every class. There are few tests and assignments but they are hard to prepare for and not over material covered in class.
