She just reads from the lecture notes and never answers questions directly. I had to teach myself everything before the exams. Cannot recommend not taking her class more.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2546332","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:11:44.738578+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMyODQ3MjE2","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2525911","instructor_name":"Pixu Shi","course_label":"STAT310","course_id":"MATH/STAT 310","course_uid":"course_e593b86c370a0c671af794df","review_date":"2020-01-18 01:00:44 +0000 UTC","comment":"Tells jokes sometimes, but does not make up for the difficulty of her class. You will not know your grade until the day you get your final exam back as the whole class is curved at the end. Goes over derivations even though they are not needed for the exam (inefficient use of lecture). Makes tests and class extremely difficult on purpose. HEADACHE!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2525911","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":5.0}]
