Reviews of professor Flora Shao

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Shao is a professor who gives very general guidelines when assigning papers, but after the paper is due she'll explain in great detail about the format she wanted. Attendance is a must and so is participation in contributing to class discussion. While the class was interesting, her teaching made the class drag on.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Her grading criteria are not clear. She says to study one thing for the test, a completely different thing ends up being on her test. Her lectures are unorganized and border on unintelligible. What a frustrating professor.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She doesn't answer her emails, which is very frustrating. She also doesn't give clear grading criteria, and her lectures can be confusing and lengthy. That being said, she does know the material that she teaches, but the delivery has much to be desired.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I don't know why Professor Shao is getting dragged on here. Tests are open note and straightforward. She's an extremely intelligent professor who gives good lectures and clearly cares about her students. Easy A class as long as you do the readings, take good notes, and listen to lectures.
