Reviews of professor Xin Jiang

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you don't have a genuine interest in the subject, you'll find this class very boring. However, I enjoyed participating, and felt she wanted me to succeed. I found her tests to be difficult, especially on written questions (and I consider myself a decent writer.) She can be strict about technology in her classroom as well as punctuality.

She wasn't helpful, wouldn't answer questions/concerns, respond to emails, or excuse any absences, even with a Drs note. She grades way above our level, unclear assignment criteria, and graded group projects against each other, not the grading rubric. She flips through slides too fast and doesn't post any, even if asked. Take any other professor!

AWFUL! taking her for social stats and I do not recommend. she has no clear expectation on work. she takes off points for things she doesnt tell you to do in the homework. homework is ridiculous long and unnecessarily tedious. shes rude and doesnt like questions even though she'll say she does. DO NOT DO IT.

Honestly these reviews don't give Ms. Jiang justice she really wasn't that bad. She actually cares about her students if they put the effort in. I reached out to her about an essay and she gave me points back. Her lectures are boring but the material is interesting. It's not hard to get an A

Boring lectures, quizzes are from a test bank (doesn't make them herself) so you will often get questions about information she doesn't even cover in class, expectations about assignments are unclear but she still grades harshly, calls students out in class sometimes, little structure/organization in the class, way too much work given

Worst professor experience I have had at Tulane, provides horribly unclear grading criteria and then absolutely rips your work to shreds. Take any other professor for criminology...

Don't do it unless you have to. Assignments were so unclear and her grading was confusing. She expects you to be expert researchers but does not provide clear guidelines at all. Lectures are so boring, she just reads off the slides from the book. Quizzes were online and tests weren't horrible, but this class made me so frustrated. So confusing

DO NOT TAKE! Avoid at all costs! She and her class exude misery. Largely inaccessible, syllabus doesn't even include major assignment due dates, won't meet with you and class is (mandatory!) just her speed reading off slides (that have computational errors). SOCI majors are better off picking any other prof!

I feel bad for her because she clearly did not want to be teaching this intro-level class, but she made it SO HARD for no reason. She has the TA mark down how every time you talk for participation points (in a class of 40!), takes forever to put in grades, and grades papers like we're grad students. Worst experience with a class I've had.
