Reviews of professor Xinyuan (Stacie) Tao

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great Professor, Final is optional, cheatsheet allowed during exam, open notes quizzes and you can work with others, there is sometimes a chance for extra credit on quizzes, attendance counts just go to class its not bad and she always finishes really early! everything is in the power points so study those

Stacie puts together a lot of the curriculum herself. She does a great job of cutting to what really matters. Her tests require you to study and learn everything, but she's fair and sets you up to get a good grade with a lot of little tweaks to save you from a major failure ruining your grade. Really good person as well.

By far the easiest class I've taken in college ever. Professor is solid and has very lax grading policies. 1 open notes test, 1 project, a handful of easy homework assignments which took less than 45 mins in total to complete.

Stacie is an awesome professor and I would highly recommend taking her class. She really makes an effort to get to know her students, she made an effort to learn everyones name the first two weeks of class. Lectures and powerpoints are very straightforward, not really a need to read the textbook, as she explains concepts very well.

Ms Tao is one of the sweetest Profs at NJIT. She gives good feedback and does her best to make us succeed. Online homework and 3 straightforward tests. Final is optional. Definitely take her!

Took her class for a business minor. Started off doing horrible in the class as I thought it would be a show up and pass thing, it is fairly easy yet I would suggest paying close attention to problems she solves in lectures and you will easily ace her exams. I started off with a D and ended up with a B due to her help, she is very beneficial.
