Reviews of professor Haiqing Xu

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Xu is very kind and is passionate about economics. He does really try to help you learn and is understanding. His lectures are rather long and can be kind of boring at times, but he is a good professor and teaches the material well. There is only one homework assignment a week for the class and two tests, so it is not bad workload wise.

could not understand his very thick accent, and suffered as a result. I went to his office hours and asked how I could improve in my studies and see what resources might help me (maybe some extra problems, videos, etc). He accused me of not attending his class, and claimed that's why I was doing poorly. I attended every lecture.

Prof Xu cares about his students! This course is intimidating but he wants you to do good & is honest about what is expected of you. Course load is reasonable & rigor is usual for an upper division eco class. I highly recommend this prof, he is approachable & open to explaining topics further if needed. I appreciate Xu's enthusiasm for the material

This class was a lot more time consuming than expected, but the grading was very fair and the tests were curved. Though Dr. Xu has a thick accent, he really tries his best to convey relevant information and really clearly knows his material well. The papers are long but teach a lot about practical application of econometrics.

He teaches the course very well and makes econometrics much easier to understand. The lecture and lab were really helpful overall, and the professor breaks down complex topics into simple, real world applicable examples. He has a thick accent that at times is difficult to understand but his presentations are filled will great info.

Prof. Xus class is useful and the course is not so hard if you try to do the web assign hw and prepare well. Learned a lot and application to the paper session as well. He gives a lot of curve for exams. If you put time into the class, its not hard to get an A.

Professor was caring, but accent is thick and sometimes he wouldn't come with a mic. Lectures were iffy to go to and pay attention. Material covered is fair, with exams being short T/F exams with FRQ. Can honestly just study slides and reviews and get an easy B. Lab portion was half the grade and was easy, just don't procrastinate. Fair class.

He is very kind and wants to help his students, however his accent makes it difficult to comprehend what he is teaching. Often goes on tangents about AI and data science which may not be relevant to many students. He was helpful on quizzes though and the lab portion was mangeable.
