Reviews of professor Laurel Wei

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
y'all. do NOT take this professor. she seems like a really genuine lady but her class is so dang hard. the quizzes are legit impossible to get an 80 on, even after reading the textbook and studying her lecture notes. this class is a no go. its hard and she grades so harshly. she seems to like taking off points for fun, just because she can.

Very sweet woman, just not the greatest teacher. She's so soft spoken. Her study guides aren't even remotely close to what the test is like. Would've dropped if she didn't give extra credit. There are very few things in the grade book as well.

Professor Wei is a knowledge person about International Relations and does cover tons of material. Her accent is very hard to understand and she is very soft spoken so be prepared for that. Her test are very difficult but if you study youll be fine. But if I would have known her final was written AND cumulative I would have switched classes.

Professor Wei was a great teacher and is very knowledgeable on comparative politics. Every opportunity was given to succeed, and she still offered up to 10 extra credit points on the final grade for a relatively minimal amount of work. She does have a slight accent, but I enjoyed it. It is easily as understandable as a native english speaker's.

She is very sweet and passionate, but so intelligent she comes across as ignorant. She does not answer questions, and the quizzes are some of the hardest assignments I've ever tackled. If I got above a C on the quiz I was exhilarated. Only class I have ever gotten a B in. She is hard to understand, and the notes do not correlate with the quiz.

Dr. Wei Wei is very sweet but she does not effectively teach the material. The concepts are difficult and her tests are a nightmare. Plus, all we have is 3 tests and a written assignment. However, she did offer a lot of extra credit and she altered her grading scale, so she works with you grade wise.
