The type of professor that you either love or hate. Moderate lectures, but the exams and homeworks are also moderate. Perfect balance. The best choice if you want to spend reasonable effort to get reasonable grades.

If you attend the class, you will find it easy to get A. No heavy workload. Examples are clearly illustrated by Chen.

Provides no textbook or other resources to study from. Presentations on topics are just 2-3 examples with no answers and recordings are illegible. No way to self-study and changes to office hours and the midterm format will not be announced online or the syllabus, so make sure you hear every second of this course to catch important announcements

Class info was extremely inaccessible throughout the semester. Many changes were made to the class format without updating the syllabus, class schedule, or making announcements (in person or on canvas). Her class is extremely disorganized and her canvas doesn't give you any accurate information, yet she won't update, remove, or change it.

A terrible teacher who cannot explain things clearly. Her handwritting is so light that hard to read. Has no structure at all. you can't even self learning because the ppt and notes are useless. Avoid her at any cost

She's genuinely the worst, least engaging professor I've had at this college. She has no talent as a teacher, her explanations are unclear, and she is easily frazzled by student questions. She races through material and appears upset when no one understands. She also made rather extreme changes to the syllabus in the middle of the course.

An embarrassment to an elite university like WashU, English is barely intelligible at best, lectures are utterly worthless, heard her call multiple students stupid to their faces for not understanding something, the fact that she's teaching this class again next semester is utterly insulting
