Reviews of professor Xiaomeng Ma

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Shes nice and young. But her 3 hour lectures are LONG she keeps you until the last minute of class. Her tests are 25 multiple choice questions (2 points) few (10 point) short answers and one long 20 point question at the end. 2 tests, 2 quizzes, extra credit and a presentation. Her reviews are just PowerPoint slides of the chapters. Blackboard HW

One day is lecture and one day is lab. Uses the entire class time. Labs were okay, were confusing at times. Professor provides help and explanations when you need it. Two group presentations, one is a discussion and one is on an article. There's an individual poster presentation and a research paper. Be on top of your assignments and u will be okay

Spring 2020. Classes are lectures all the way through the end. A little boring but the subject itself is interesting. She did two quizzes, midterm and final. Gives multiple chances to retake any exam before deadline. Because of what happened we did tests online so we were given that opportunity. Does give extra credit. More or less easy A.

honestly not worth it. group project, hw each week, 3 quizzes and final paper(a literature review)12-15 pages,she did not provide instructions for the final paper until a week before its due. does not respond to emails. takes forever to grade work. class materials is interesting but she is boring, plays a lot of YouTube videos instead of teaching.

Very sweet and understanding. She gives blackboard assignments that we have the whole semester to complete. She only gives a midterm, final exam and a group project. If you are not a good test taker, she gives extra credit opportunities to raise your test grades and class average up significantly higher. Attendance never taken.

She was alright, lectures were a snooze. Gave hw weekly that only counted as a point, group presentation that only counted as 15 points. 2 quizzes & midterm/final. Good luck if you do bad on midterm or final, you will end up with a D .. does not answer her email, which irritated me since that is the only to way to contact. Avoid if possible.

Prof. is sweet, answers all questions during class. Lectures are posted online after class. There are 3 short quizzes, one sentence HW assignments each week, and a group presentation. Overall, the class isn't too bad- except for the 12 page final paper. If you've never written a literature review, or anything similar, it will be tricky.
