Reviews of professor Mai Doan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I have never had such a bad experience with a prof. I had high expectations going into a communications class, but later figuring out that that the prof cannot clearly communicate with students. I wish UFV had more variety of professors but I had no choice. If I had a choice I would never take this class again.

Worst prof ever. Unclear instructions, super slow grading, minimal feedback. Compared my work to another student as my only feedback. Terrible at communication for an intercultural course. Threatened to kick me out for quietly reading my textbook. Way too many assignments, 3 per week for a 100-level class. Avoid unless a GPA drop is your goal.

Found that the blackboard website had a different look was was harder to navigate. Assignments had a criteria, but did not explain how to do them. Communications papers are very "format based" (direct, indirect, memo) and I found little guidance on how to write in those formats

This entire course was literally just group work. Prepare to do the entire project yourself if you get paired with lazy group members for the entire semester. The lectures that Mai posted were very difficult to understand and boring so I didn't end up learning much besides the stuff I taught myself.

If I could give this prof a zero, I would. She is unclear about her instructions and she is extremely unprofessional. As a communication professor, she lacks communication skills. I did not enjoy the class as much as I thought I would. Lectures are dry and attendance is mandatory. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

I loved Mai! She was so cute and kind. She made an effort to get everyone involved during class and incorporate their own experiences. Class was FUN, I loved going. Not sure what people are complaining about with assignments and grading. We had a reflection and a page assignment due every week but no final, and she didn't mark hard. LOVE HER

I loved Mai Anh and had a great experience in her online class. Instructions can be confusing but she was always willing to explain! She was delightful and sweet, and often encouraged me throughout the course. She was understanding with my tech difficulties and I went to many office hours for a chat! :) Awesome group project experience too

Mai Anh is nice but way too hard of a marker. Gave weekly assignments, group projects, and activities all weighted at weird percentages. Dropped my letter grade even though I got A- or A on everything. Way too much work for a 100 course, even more than my 300 & 400 courses. Made mistakes while teaching us APA. All the negative reviews are correct!
