Reviews of professor Julia Blau

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Took this course was alright. Professor Blau is awesome and you she is cool, funny and made the class worth signing on for. she did an awesome job describing topics and going over material. However, she only grades tests. 3 tests and also 3 Socratic question answer that are 1 point each. I would have fathered the grade be made up of more material.

Dr. Blau is one of the best professors. She makes the class interesting and fun. She cares and is willing to repeat concepts if needed. Grade is based on 3 exams that are online, mc and essay, and participation in socratic hour. She gives you essay prompts a week before the exam and will help you write it. Difficult class, great professor!

This class was hard for me but Professor Blau is amazing. Attendance is not mandatory but I highly recommend not skipping as her lectures are very detailed and important and she does not put a lot of notes on her slides. There are 3 exams and a "Socratic Hour" (Graded Exam Review) before each exam. If you have a chance to take her TAKE HER.

she does not take into account that students have other classes, not just her own. does not allow for any kind of extension of homework, even in difficult circumstances. she goes very quickly through notes, even though the majority of us are handwriting notes. she is funny though, but she does not take into account other students' struggles.

Dr Blau is really knowledgeable and funny. I enjoyed the class overall but you have to work for the grade. A lot of by hand math and stats assignments that had little direction mainly done independently. She's always willing to break it down and explain better if you ask. By no means an easy A but also a 300 level required class that you need.

Never throughout my college career have I had a worse professor. She gives minimal feedback and do not even bother trying to go to her office hours for help because she repeats the question back to you without any help. Little to nothing is on the slides, you have to be in every single class to come close to passing. 3 exams and no homework though.
