Reviews of professor Dan Du

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Du was incredibly tough, she gave out far too much work, and expected far too much from a class that is required to graduate. Almost all of the grades are based off of group work, so if you have a bad group, too bad! She is really poor at explaining what she wants, leaving many to figure it out on their own. Avoid this class if you can.

Dr. Du is highly unforgiving and unfair. 90% of the assignments are group related, but she grades you individually. She docks full credit if you are missing one part of a citation, such as a specific page number. I absolutely do NOT recommend taking any of her classes. There are also participation quizzes based on readings and they are very long.

Rude and condescending. This was chalked up to being on Zoom, but unprofessionalism transcends the platform.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Du throws a lot of information at you very quickly, and you must stay on top of everything diligently. No punches are pulled in grading, but she provides a lot of feedback to help make clear why you received a particular grade. Her class is tough, but you can get a ton out of it if you are attentive!

Absolutely terrible, gives random quizzes based off of your classmates presentations. The class room is flipped so she basically does nothing except take this class way too seriously giving way too much work.

A great History professor who gives excellent feedback on papers. She makes students think deeply about what is being read. She has unbelievable intelligence.
