Saw a few people complaining about the midterm but it was pretty straightforward if you read all of the readings and went to lecture and took notes. Pretty easy class, offers extra credit as well. Interesting and engaging. Very passionate professor! Would take again.

Prof Jue is great! Simple weekly writing assignments 400 words. Weekly homework is about 2 readings of short science fiction. Midterm and final are fill in blank and short answer. Definitely need to read but if you do, the tests are easy. Took class as GE and definitely recommend!! iClicker attendance, slides are posted.

Loved this class because the readings were short and interesting. They are explored further in lectures. All you need to do well is to read the stories closely and remember characters and some thematic elements. iClicker attendance was mandatory which kind of sucks but I wouldn't skip anyway. Really enjoyable course with nice professor.

She was a really great professor and lecturer, attendance is mandatory but the lectures are very interesting and you can tell how passionate she is about the subject. The midterm was long and not everyone finished so she changed the format of the final and made it shorter as well as giving extra credit opportunities to earn points back.

Professor Jue was very passionate about the subject and was very kind during lectures. She did a great job in explaining and preparing students for the midterm and final exam. Weekly write ups were easy and were mostly finished in section. Very easy class, she provides all the readings except one book that can be found for cheap on amazon(~$12)

Jue created a midterm that was too long; a large majority of the class didn't finish and barely reached the last section, worth 50%. She then explained how it was our fault for not being prepared enough, writing too much, being inefficient with our time, and we had poor test-taking skills since we didn't prioritize the section worth more.

Jue gave us a midterm that was a bit too long that 97% of the class didn't finish it. She REFUSED to curve the exam and basically told us we “should've finished it.” If the majority of your students can't finish the test, that's a reflection of poor exam design, not student performance. I've never had a professor be so dismissive of student needs!!

Amazing lectures, amazing teacher! She's very passionate about her craft and gives incredible lectures!! TAKE THIS CLASS!

Left this course feeling knowledgeable about SF. Good lectures, but she does go on tangents (often based on her research/ocean/climate-related). She is worried about the use of AI more than other profs I have had, and the assignments reflect that which can be limiting. Read, and go to lecture, as the in-class writings will test lecture knowledge.

She's very kind and genuinely wants her students to succeed in her class. The class consisted of 2 take-home exams and a 7-page final paper. It was an easy class to take; I enjoyed all of the readings she selected to study this quarter. Even if you are not an English major, this is a great class to take because the course material is so interesting

This class is sooo easy, especially if you already like creative reading & writing! Dr. Jue has such interesting stories, its hard to not enjoy them. 2-4 short stories per week and theres 2 short response exams and a 6 page final essay.

prof jue was the best! she really cares about the subject and her students. attending lecture in person was optional (live on zoom or recorded on GS) and section was on zoom as well. super accommodating after going back to in-person school! content of class and the readings are genuinely interesting so it's not difficult to get a good grade!

Prof Jue was a wonderful lecturer and navigated the course readings really well. She encouraged discussion on interesting and abstract topics related to the readings. She was genuinely interested on hearing student perspectives, and was flexible with the online format. I would definitely recommend this honors seminar to others!

Fantastic professor and very reasonable grader. I loved this class and if you put in the effort you should be able to get the grade you're looking for.

(Taken online during Covid) Amazing professor! Arguably best professor I've had from the English dept. She chooses such interesting stories and has a very fair and clear syllabus. She made the readings accessible by including PDFs. Loved this class and the content.

I took this class online due to COVID-19, and she was so understanding and caring enough to make this class as easy as possible. She made up a new syllabus and got rid of books, so we'd only have to do some online readings. She also kept lectures extremely short yet engaging. I'm taking her again next quarter because of this! Highly recommend.

Just to be up front, I took her class during the Spring 2020 quarantine, however even with the minimal time to plan for the class's format, it was fair, interesting and even enjoyable. She clearly cares deeply for her students as people and as scholars. The readings were delightful and her insight into them was meaningful. Her class was a delight.

Excellent professor: she is very knowledgeable on SF. If you read fast take this class. its very interesting. However, she requires you to read a lot, 6 novels. her TA's are very knowledgeable as well. Solid choice.

Professor Jues courses are very easy but give yourself time to read as she assigns 5 pretty lengthy novels. Amazing and helpful in office hours and only assigns three short papers. Very knowledgeable in her field and seems to really enjoy what she teaches! Definitely recommend!

she ask you to read 6 novels all heavy content. Each book350 pages, as been said, very heavy reading. + 2 essays: no chance to revise it. the grade that you get the fist time is the grade you keep. + quizzes + a final. If you are an a math major or other major that requires your time then WARNING:DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. HER lectures are boring.

She encourages participation and only asks for some good insightful comments from the books you are assigned to read in class. Very chill, three-four papers and no final. She's very kind, too.

Prof. Jue is a considerate and engaging professor with interesting readings and creative assignments. Her class is structured so that as long as you are attentive in lectures and read the novels, you will pass. She is very sweet, understanding, and passionate about her work. Excellent!
