Reviews of professor Shirley Mai

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I had her last semester and actually really enjoyed her class. Quizzes are open book, tests are not. Tests are easy if you do the study guide. One group project that's pretty intense and very time consuming so start early. Get a good group, I cannot stress that enough. She's very hands off, there are no lectures, but always available via email.

Due to COVID I took the 8-week "block" version of this class, rather than the normal 15-weeks. It's clear she removed some content, but there's a lot of reading. One group paper/project, fair grading criteria. We had no recorded lectures or video content. She was VERY hands-off. She sent lots of e-mails and responds to emails quickly.

Tricky questions. All based on the text. Study the exhibits and graphs and be prepared for questions asked in the negative.
