Reviews of professor Christine Duval

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Class taken during Fall 2019. She is super chill and made her lectures interesting and easy to understand. I really enjoyed it! Attendance is not mandatory but I went anyway because the lectures were useful. HW was kinda difficult but TA office hours were very helpful. Very similar to exams/quizzes so if you can do HW then you can fly through tests

Professor Duval is great and cares a lot about her students. Gives all the resources needed to do well in the class and lectures are very helpful. She really tests your knowledge of material, but homeworks are graded pretty harshly. She is a very fair professor and at the end of the year I felt like I really learned a lot.

She somehow makes really basic concepts impossible to understand. It honestly helped to skip her lectures because teaching it to yourself is much easier than trying to see it through her mind

Professor Duval was very clear about her expectations for the class and is very accessible through her office hours. Her exams aren't too hard if you study and do the practice problems. Overall, she is very fair.

She is a very caring teacher and she knows her stuff, but she is such a tough grader for no reason. I legit got 8 points off on a quiz for a minor mistake. Her lectures are kinda unorganized because she spends most of the class doing half an example and expects to know how to do the homework outside of class.

Was a very good and enjoyable professor. Made lectures understandable. If you do the homework and understand it well you'll be just fine on quizzes and exams. It's not worth missing lectures.

Dr Duval is the best professor I've had at CWRU. She is so well prepared and genuinely cares about students learning rather than just earning letter grades. She is VERY accessible outside of class and will help you until you understand and know how to apply content. We did not use the textbook much, just some parts to cite tables. She is also fun!

Duval teaches topics by examples and has lecture driven by questions. It is an interactive class with lots of hands-on problems where attending lectures is key to understanding content. She has challenging homework but will drop lowest. Her quizzes are doable if you do homework and topics in class. She is very open and ready to help you succeed.

Duval is one of those professor who genuinely cares about her student success. She is super helpful and always available to answer questions. The class is not easy tho. Some hw serve misery (I got an F in 2 hw), but she is a very good grader in quizzes and exams. At the end of the class you will feel like you have learned A LOT.

Good professor. Pretty chill class, not too tough at all. Show up and put in a reasonable amount of effort and you should do fine.
