Reviews of professor Jing Iris Hu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The prof and TA have no office hours and don't even respond to emails for questions The TA's only grade the papers and provide no feedback whatsoever. The course load is very heavy, but if you watch the videos you'll get an easy A. Most of the material is common sense. Easy elective but bad prof. There are 2 papers to submit.

Absolutely absent professor, who does not answer her student email in the semester. 4 quizzes and a final paper graded only by the ta who are biased. It is unfortunate because the course it self has some interesting content but the structure is unclear.

I have taken two courses with Prof Hu and will take more in the future. Prof Hu gives entertaining lectures and the topics of her courses are all super interesting.

Took this class in hopes of learning a little bit about biomedical ethics. The material is very interesting, but the quizzes have to be the most vague and unclear thing in the world. The TAs never answer their emails and they are the toughest graders I've ever had in my entire life. DO NOT take this course.

Online course run by teaching assistants. Interesting topics. Tedious readings. Skip the readings as they will confuse more than anything. Teaching assistants grade everything and mine was inconsistent. No grading scheme. Your work is graded to correspond to a predetermined grade distribution. Luck is a part of your grade.

Hard to rate the professor because it's an online class with zero lectures. Class itself is very easy. This is a very easy class. Out of 411 students who took it that semester, 201 got between A+/A-. So almost 50% of the class was in the A range. Don't listen to people saying this was a hard class. Do the readings and course units, should be easy A
