Reviews of professor Jing Du

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Jing is a new professor for the course. She has little enthusiasm for the material, and it shows in the weak engagement of students throughout the course. The homework grading is strict, but the class is curved. Textbook is a must. Office hours are helpful for some assignments. If you can, take the other, well-respected prof. for this class.

She showed very little enthusiasm for teaching. She would fly through lecture slides. There were many times we would briefly cover a topic and if it came back up she would skip it because "we should know it already." Lecture was not helpful, so you will have to teach yourself. All exams were open book/open notes, and she curved final grades.
