Reviews of professor Jingjing Meng

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Final for CSE 191 was hard. But she curved the class, so it balances out. Like 70/110 will still get you A. Zihao is a good person. You will never get a TA who can respond to your questions on Piazza within 10 min. I used to not pay attention during lecture, I was only there for attendance n tophat, but lecture slides and zybook helped me get an A.

Prof. Meng is genuinely a nice woman. She wants her students to do well in the class, she'll even give out some extra credit to help. I think one of the major reasons people don't do so well in this class is because everything seems simple but it's really not, so people don't dedicate enough time to this class. The homework is graded pretty harshly

CS is a very hard major already and she gives hard problems on homework and quizzes, making this course harder to achieve a higher grade. Her exam times are very short, a lot of students asked for a longer time, but she did not care about what the students asked for. Even when she gives honus homework, it is so hard to complete.

She is a nice person. If you stay after the lecture, she will try to understand your question or problem and will help you. I think the quizzes are the reason most students didn't like her. I think if she wrote quizzes herself and made them similar to ones we're given for practice, it will be a nice. HWs teach us a lot and I don't have a problem.

Her class is hard, i had her for her first semester of teaching. Although her teaching is subpar, but that is only because of a language barrier. She tries her best to help her students and curves her classes if needed. Unlike other professors she always checks her email to make sure her students and gives a lot of slack

Jingjing is an amazing professor and I miss her! Her lectures, while not full of energy were entertaining and really helped learn the content. She also can tolerate some serious classroom BS in an assertive and professional manner. Her office hours were also very useful to me. The only downside was using TopHat, but she can't change that.

Hard Accent. Boring. Reads off slides. Repeats the same thing every time. Example: T is True making T mean True. Can't speak up and her mic doesn't have a pop filter making her p's make the mic pop every time she says something

Professor Meng is a good teacher overall- she explains things well and has a firm grasp of the material. The only downside is she doesn't make her own slides, and even though the slides are available online they aren't as valuable because the course doesn't seem personalized to her teaching style. Still a good course in the end.
