Reviews of professor Xiaoli Dong

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Good professor but super strong accent so it was really hard to stay engaged and listen in lecture. ESP1 was co-taught. Content was interesting but lecture heavy and I got bored easily. It was 4 partner problem sets and 2 one page papers not really related to lecture content. Easy A but boring class. Discussion was chill and really fun!

Professor Dong genuinely cares about her students and makes herself available after lecture to have discussions relating to the lectures. Additionally, she wants to know about your interests and academic goals and wants to mentor undergraduate students.

This class is really hard for a prereq! Dong is a good lecturer, though she teaches really fast and its hard to understand her. Also, this class is so much reading! Discussion and lectures are so confusing and hard to follow along, I don't understand what I'm learning at all.

Lectures were a little boring, but give a good intro to environmental science. Prof. Dong teaches the science portion of the class. 4 small group projects and 2 papers. Good intro class!
