Reviews of professor Shu (Violet) Xu

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Just like the graduate class in biostatistics, she is so slow to go through the slides during class, and it's so hard to focus. I actually found that she taught biostats much better than Categorical Data Analysis. Please take Regression 2 with someone else instead of Violet if you can.

Shu Xu is definitely a person who loves biostatistics. While she is super knowledgable about the subject at hand, her teaching is subpar. Her explanations of the concepts are unclear and confusing. Lecture is not really a "lecture" but that really takes away from the experience of learning biostats. Wouldn't take her again in the future

Professor Xu is a fantastic professor in that she explains how different biostats concepts work forwards and backward and then puts them in different visuals for different types of learners. I thought I was bad at math until I took her course and I got an A. Definitely not fun, but for a mandatory course for the GPH major, she taught it very well.
