Reviews of professor Zhimin Sherry Xie

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Is kinda harsh on people that participate in class for some reason. Get put into groups in the first week and you work on a semester long project together that are broken into parts. Easy class if you put towards effort.

Tough grader, mostly group work and projects. 3 homework assignments and 3 exams mostly based on the homeworks. She speaks very fast and tends not to repeat herself. Attendance is mandatory as participation is required and a large part of your grade. No phones allowed during class.

Professor has a passion for teaching but the lectures themselves are dry. She could use her knowledge to inspire the marketing students but doesn't quite hit the mark.

Class consists of mini quizzes/excels for participation almost each class, 5 small group assignments mostly completed in class, 3 homework assignments, 3 exams, and a group project (presentation and paper). Very manageable!! Very accessible via office hours and email. Would recommend to my friends. Great prof to make a personal connection with.

Sherry was a very fun professor that did a great job engaging with her students. She is a tough grader but does everything that she can to try to help you meet her standards.

She is the RUDEST professor i have ever had in my 4 years at ISU. She isn't helpful and doesn't make topics clear if you don't understand them. You need to show up as participation is a large part of your grade. There is a final project that is very time consuming and is a large portion of your grade along with a final exam.

gives group projects and my group did nothing so I told her and she just kept disregarding it. I was the only person in class and did everything possible. She grades real hard and when I explained my issues with the group work she said hopefully they get better. I learned nothing in class and had to learn on my own. Would not recommend. Dont take!

Overall a poor teacher. Cares more about results rather than ensuring students understand material.

Overall great class and very reasonable to attain an A if you put in the effort and show up consistently.

I loved Sherry! She can be a tough grader at times, but the best thing to do is to ask questions and be sure to understand what she wants for an assignment. Participate in class and make sure you are attending to make sure you're completing the in-class work.

Tough grader, runs through excel assignments quick. Assigns groups for the whole semester, only gives you up to 15 minutes to do an in-class assign. due by the end of class- 12 seconds over she considered submission late. You have to earn credit slips and she chooses who can earn them. She refuses to repeat herself. Project is time consuming.
