great professor and class

Difficult to understand, and not very organized. I never really understood where she was going in lecture, but luckily my TA was far more organized and able to clear up most of my confusion. The midterm was in week 3 and half of it was MCQs taken directly from the weekly quizzes, the other half short response - piece of cake if you pay attention.

Prof. Zhao is clearly passionate about the topic but can sometimes go off on tangents or be unclear. This class is much more difficult in-person than online. Be prepared to spend a lot of time prepping for the midterm and final; you are expected to memorize detailed information about 60 or so terms. Pros: grading criteria is extremely clear.

I don't know why the course gets much more complicated when it's taught in person: quiz + midterm + final + project. From feedback of my friend who took this course online, there were only quiz + project. Exam contains MC + paragraph-response question -- be prepared to remember tons of information if you want to get an A. (much harder than online)

I don't think she actually listens when I ask her questions because her answers are always not to my questions but other things

Each week we had two lectures (an hour each), reading, and two quizzes (5 questions each). As long as you watch the lectures, it's an easy A. Midterm was a group project and the final was an individual project. They don't take that much time to do. Also, I went to office hours once and she is the sweetest person ever. Highly recommend taking her!!!
