Fall 2020 - Profe Xue is such an amazing professor overall. If you want a class that does not require a lot of attention because of other heavy loaded courses, def take this class!! I was able to work on the assignments for about one week they were due, and never really looked at the course day to day. Attend lectures, be present, he will love you. The class consisted of 2 HW assignments that were 15% and around 10 questions (easy As) (He emphasized a lot too that these answers (including exams answer) should be SHORT, ARE short and to the point) 1 Midterm (duable just study in advance so you don't waste time during the exam looking for answers and for someone that had a completely different field of study I got a low A) (also he extended the time and its about 8-10 short answer questions) 1 Final (relatively easy/difficult since he will add about 2-3 questions that are extremely difficult) ( I def wasn't able to answer like 2-3 hard questions but still received a high grade for the course) He mentioned as long as you put some answer, you will get some credit, maybe not all but at least something. Since the Final is worth a lot more than anything, it can swing your grade quite a bit. He even said that it'll be pretty difficult to receive an A so if you're okay with getting a high B, take this course. Also, you will get a Study guide so be sure to do that. He will also basically give you an answer or the direction to an answer for HWs so go to his OFFICE HOURS. All exams require a turned-on camera bc he does not want anyone to work together but you can use notes, the study guide, the internet really anything you want. The best part of this course was that I did not have to give full attention all the time. I was able to focus the majority of my time on my other heavy and hard science courses. I was able to balance this course easily.
