Reviews of professor Shuwen Lou

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Slides are so hard to follow. If you pay attention in class and you're good at math, you'll be okay. If not, steer clear. She's nice and can be a good teacher but it's hard to follow and very test heavy so it might be hard to succeed.

It will not be worthwhile to attend her class. You won't learn anything, and you are gonna have no compassion coming from her, even feeling present in the class was a challenge, let alone following the archaic teaching method. No extra credit either.

Tests can be curveballs, but she presents the material clearly.

Professor Lou is very nice, she is understanding and wants you to learn stats. If you actually want to learn the material I would recommend her however, her lectures are very in depth so if you skip itll just be harder. She gives weekly quizzes and her exams are very similar to the practice ones. She is a strict grader but still a good professor.

Dr. Lou clearly has a strong understanding of statistics herself, but struggles to communicate that understanding to students. Her lecture slides are poorly structured, she makes many errors while teaching, and she appears very disorganized. There are a variety of better professors for STAT 203 at LUC, I would recommend taking them if possible.

Taken online, she can be a little repetitive during lectures which can be distracting but she is overall very knowledgeable when it comes to statistics. Her background is definitely not statistics, but for the scope of this course it didn't matter. weekly hw, 2 exams, 1 final. She kinda makes up the grading scale based on how well the class does.

Her energy stresses me out and she's always rushed. If I had to take her again it would be fine but her explanations aren't the best. You may need YouTube to understand what's going on. If I didn't have a good stats background I would not have done as well.

Prof Lou had very organized structures, posted all of her notes online, and let you bring a cheat sheet into exams. When I struggled with my mental health and was unable to get to class for a couple of weeks, she met with me during her office hours and was very understanding and caring. I don't like math at all but I would take her again.

The class wasn't hard but be prepared for your homework and tests to look different. If you want to pass, go to every class and take notes lol

Mrs. Lou was pretty ok IMO. You can tell she really cares about her students succeeding, but you HAVE to be on top of things. Her slides are very well organized, but her lectures are a workout. She always seemed rushed and squeezes content in; otherwise, she was great. Her class consisted of weekly homework, quizzes, two midterms, and a final.
