Reviews of professor Laurel Wei

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Wei is a nice woman, however, there are only 2 tests and a difficult written assignment. If you don't do well on the two tests, you're stuck. However, her grading is on a curve so you only need a 75 to have a B in the class. She's tough, but manageable.

Professor Wei Wei's first language is not English. Her English is understandable, but she is not capable of speaking beyond the powerpoint slides, especially if you are confused. I read all chapters, took notes on them, and took lecture notes, and I still came out of the class confused.

Professor Wei is a very sweet and kind lady however, her lectures are long and hard to follow and her tests feel impossible. It is impossible to pass her class without the extra credit she provides.

Professor wei is very nice. just a very tough grader. but she gives very easy extra credit opportunities that each count as 2 points on your final grade. i am TERRIBLE at history and came out with a B, which took a ton of effort. Read the book, study very hard, do all extra credit opportunities. also the final study guide was just like the final.

Dr Wei is very nice and sweet, and really loves what she teaches. She is very work heavy, she'll throw a paper and a test due in 3 days for example. As my advisor, she tends to get confused on advising aspects. Overall, she's a good professor. Put in the work and the same care she puts into the subjects and you'll be golden. Would recommend

This professor isn't very engaged in her lectures. She simply reads power point notes and for the most part when we ask her questions, she doesn't help clarify. She wastes our time reading PowerPoints, but I learned after the first quiz that it was best to just read the book and learn the content on my own.

Professor Wei is an extremely nice lady and will help you if you reach out to her. She can be difficult to understand, but if you read the book and study you should be fine. She gives a huge extra credit opportunity and you only need a 75 to make a B and an 86 to make an A.

Dr. Wei gets a bad rep. When many people complained about test 1 (very easy), Dr. Wei offered ample extra credit opportunities to raise grades by a full letter and then even accepted tips on how to make test 2 better and then did it! Guess what? The same students whined about her teaching instead of opening the book and trying to study.

I took this 5 week class, part time 5 days a week, and taking another class. Dr. Weis class was the most engaging online class Ive ever had. Of course there was a lot of course work in a summer class, but I was always able to finish. I would suggest looking over additional resources bc she uses examples on her quizzes, which were the hardest part
