Reviews of professor Jason Xu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Sta432 was the highlight of my last semester. Professor Xu has amazing board work and the lectures made me really appreciate being back in person. The material is tough but you get a new appreciation of statistics, and Xu stops for questions often and makes it feel not intimidating. Highly recommend!

Lectures can feel a bit long but he's the best Stats professor I've had at Duke by far. Definitely Flunch him!

The class seemed very hard at the beginning, but became very chill towards the middle of the semester. The homework got way easier and also way shorter / spaced out. Jason is an amazing lecturer and is very clear with the proofs in class, super nice to talk to as well. Don't drop even if it seems really hard at the beginning.

250 was amazing with Xu and is very fair if you put the work in.

Great professor for STA250! His tests are very fair and if you put in the work and know how to do all the assigned homework, you will do great in the class! Funny guy too! Totally recommend taking 250 with him!

Jason is a great lecturer with very fair tests. You can tell he really cares about students learning and Sta250 gave a lot of context and foundation to understanding statistics

Jason was a great professor. His lectures went at a nice pace and were very organized, which was super helpful for learning the material. His homeworks were a bit on the harder side but doable if you went to office hours, and they prepared you well for the midterms and final. Would definitely take a class with him again!!
