Reviews of professor Jia Liu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The course seems to be an inhouse course.Although it has a lot of good materials it is quiet hard to study for the class. It is hard to have a clear practice for the two midterms that are to be taken. The first midterm is based on previous courses. But the new stuff is a bit shoot in the dark to study for. Id take a different class now thinking it.

Jia is an awesome prof, he really likes his students and wants to make sure they understand. The only one complaint is that he is not very helpful over email. Study for the exam from the practice problems he prepares and you will do fine. Also beware of pop quizzes.

I attended one of the first course this prof taught at UMUC. The class was Hybrid and she keeps you in the class the entire time allotted, don't think you will get to leave early. Material covered is dull, and be prepared for death by PowerPoint. Jia Lui is very passionate about what she is teaching, and brings snacks, but material is still dry.

Solid Professor that is passionate about what she does. Just make sure you turn the assignments in and do the reading and chances are you will pass. There was nothing that was too crazy and she gives you the grade that you deserve. Overall I enjoyed taking her class. I took online and there were 3 papers and weekly discussions with two replies.

I actually ended up really liking this class. I learned a lot and it really came together in the end. The excel assignment can be a lot of work, so make sure to start them early. When you finish them and realize you're right, it's seriously satisfying, though.

Makes multiple choice worth 2.5/3 and test you on the weirdest things from the powerpoint slide. Does not answer emails so don't hope for a response, ever. Gave us an online test during the corona virus and made it extremely difficult and barely on anything that is actually important. Forced students to type out an excel function. Just avoid please
