Reviews of professor Jing Iris Hu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not worth the trouble. Tons of readings, unresponsive Tas, boring lectures, a bunch of quizzes. Certainly, this is not a "difficult course" per se but the course is heavy and support from the professor is nonexistent. Sure, if you are a first-year student taking one or two classes per semester go for it. If you value your GPA and time, avoid it!

Do yourself a favor and avoid her and her classes at all costs! The worst by far!

There is tons of things to read, not the easiest course to take as an elective. I would have taken another course for a better grade. However, it is not that difficult to succeed in this course but get ready to write many long essays and read a lot of stuff. The material is interesting though.

Only did the readings when necessary as she goes over the main points of each reading in her lectures. Lectures are reasonable length, easy to understand, have everything you need to know in them. I spent no more than maybe 2 hours on this course per week and received a great grade. If you like the topics taught you will do well.

I have taken this course twice. The first, I Disc'ed it due to heavy course load. The second time I passed. This time around, it has be updated to a more 2021 format. She gives bonus marks now. A lot of reading, and sometimes useless reading that is not even tested. TAs seem to grade the papers but give unclear or broad feedback (non-constructive)

This review is more about the course than the teacher, as online courses at Concordia are completed more independently.  I enjoyed this course, and I found the course material wasn't overwhelming.  There are four quizzes as well as the final paper, and as long as you complete the units, it's quite easy to do well.

Disappointing experience. I wish I would've known the amount of work that is expected for this introductory course. Every week there are between 60-130 pages to read. Quizzes are designed in such a way you won't have enough time to access the textbook, which is fine, but also making it impossible to answer the questions thoroughly, beware!!

Dr. Hu is a decent professor. Taken as a required course for degree. Course topic: moral emotions. Graded by presentation, two 1750-word essays, & participation. Readings and material were interesting but the lectures felt a bit boring (ethics not my primary interest). Provides feedback on essays and accessible outside class. Uses humor at times.
