Reviews of professor Shu Farmer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very understanding professor. Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's good to go since she'll talk about things that will be on the test. The midterm and final were both online and weren't hard as questions were very straight forward. There are three essays assigned and the last one was the most time consuming but easy. 8 pages long!

Have never laughed that much in lecture before, an actual comedian. Recently changed her grading system, so if you do well on the open-note online midterm and final, you are guaranteed a B (paper is 20%). Just do not procrastinate on the paper cause she is specific on the rubric, and she emphasizes this at the beginning. Overall, easy professor!

Hands down one of the sweetest professors at UCI. Not only does she care how about how you do in the course, but she also cares about your well being. In person class but midterm and final were online. Lots of group assignments that were super easy and mostly for attendance and participation. Get to know her, you will love her.

Dr. Shu Farmer was by far my favorite professor for my 1st quarter at UCI. She was so much fun in class. Attend every class because she gives extra credit multiple times throughout the course after class and she tells you a "hint" from lectures for future exams. Tests were easy if you study her PPT, and follow her rules for the SRP! A+ clutched.

Dr. Farmer was an amazing professor and truly cares about her students. She gives great feedback on all of the assignments and takes time to ensure you understand the content. Definitely take her if you're in any major.

Farmer is super passionate and cares a lot about her students in and outside the classroom. She tends to get distracted easily during lectures (mandatory), but she's super funny and personable. Lectures are redundant and a bit useless tbh because she just reads slides but you have to show up for points. Exams are open-note/book. 1 ppt/paper due

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Her lectures are so informative, if you show up you'll get a good grade. She is very engaging in lecture and is always willing to talk after class. Grade made up of midterm, final, and a paper. Paper was assigned early and I was given plenty of time to do with lots of time to ask questions and get extra help.

A true gem to end off my first year at UCI. Really cares for her students and has an amazing team of TA's to support you on anything you have for major assignments such as the research paper. Easy A. Just do the work and you'll be fine. Inspired me to take a minor in Public Health.
