Have taken her classes twice. Definitely not by my choice. So so boring. So hard to sit through lectures. Tests were not that hard but very low preparation and guidance was offered beforehand.Rate My Professors ↗

Prof Xu does not have particularly interesting lectures, and she does not deliver them with much passion. However, they are very organized, and contain all the info you need to complete the HWs and do well on the exams. The HWs are straightforward, the project was mostly graded on completion, and exams were open note.Rate My Professors ↗

Nice professor but boring lectures (just reads off slides mostly). Turned in first homework late because I mixed up the time and she was nice and excused it. Graded project and homework easily, but exams were decently hard. Lots of extra credit if you just go to class.Rate My Professors ↗

Avoid if possible. She reads directly off the slides, cannot answer questions or clarify well, and often tests you on foreign things you have never seen or practiced, including questions with terminology you've never covered. Some exams were super easy, and others were impossible. Honestly hard to prepare for. Would never recommend to anyone.Rate My Professors ↗

I really enjoyed ISYE 412 with Tina. Her grading is clear, and the exams are exactly what she outlines they will be. While lectures can be dull and include unnecessary information, Tina is both intelligent and likeable. This course is a very easy A if you actually study for the exams and spend a little bit of time on the HW.Rate My Professors ↗

Her lectures are boring and tough to sit through, but the class wasn't that hard. Homework was similar to the problems in class, she offered up to 3% extra credit for going to lecture, and the group project was relatively easy. There was a lack of guidance on preparing for the exams and the group project as the expectations weren't always clear.Rate My Professors ↗
