Reviews of professor Junshu Bao

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Despite this being the first time Bao is teaching 1152, she did an amazing job at teaching. Sometimes lectures can get a bit dry and confusing, but she's always available and willing to help you if you're lost. Our exams were take-home 24 hour exams, and she would always respond quickly if you needed clarification. She cares a lot.

Dr. Bao is one of my favorite professors in the stats department. Cares about your grade as much as you do and is always happy to help in office hours or after class. Tests are manageable. I took 1261 with her also and the class was just as well taught with much easier material.

She's fine. The class is really boring but that's really not her fault its the material. The exams are very fair, open note, and she gives a ton of partial credit. She posts all her notes online after class so you don't really need to go. You will definitely pass the class, but you may fall asleep.

If you want to pass STAT 1060 I highly recommend Bao. If you want to learn the course material, I suggest steering clear. While kind and easy portraying information was not her strong suit. You are expected to just know  how to do many things on homework. You could probably pass this class with your eyes closed, but you will not learn anything.

Her exams are harder than the homework that are due almost every week. Her lectures do not prepare well for the exams.

Dr. Bao is absolutely amazing. She really cares about her students, makes the workload manageable, and presents the material in a clear way. I've had her for two classes and would take more with her in a heartbeat.

You will never feel like you've been treated unfairly when taking Dr. Bao. She's not the greatest lecturer, but there's not much else bad about the class. Exams are fairly easy on top of being open-note and open-book with a cheat sheet. Homeworks are long and worth a large portion of your grade, but graded very leniently. Your grade is on you.

Junshu is an accommodating professor who cares about the success of her students. The lectures are dry but she posts the slides and all exams are take-home, untimed, and open note. As long as you put a small amount of effort into the exams and homework, you'll get an A. She also gives a 2 percentage point bonus to those who come to 20/24 lectures.

I loved Professor Baos class! As someone who didnt do so well in statistics in high school, I learned so much from her class. Her slides were clear and the homework was manageable. Her exams and quizzes were also fair! Take her class!!

Love Professor Bao as a person, but dang she assigns a lot of homework. I wish that her grading criteria (or just overall instructions) for the final project were more clear because that was very very vague. Overall just time consuming but easy class.
