This was one of the worst, if not the worst, experience with a professor ever. It was impossible to understand her during lectures. And I mean impossible. Her accent is pretty heavy, so it wasn't her fault, but lectures were useless. She used another professor's powerpoints and reads off them. Her lectures got so bad that before the second midterm only around 30 students showed up out of a class of 200. What was even worse is that it was a 2 hour lecture twice a week.

The midterms were hard, to say the least. She allows an index card for the first one and two for the second one but they didn't help much. The averages were about 60% for both maybe slightly lower for the second one. The final was also ridiculously hard. She allowed three index cards for this one. About an hour in some people just gave up and turned in their exams early.

I know she tried her best and I think it was her first time teaching but avoid taking her like the plague. You won't be doing yourself any favors by choosing her over professors like Corbin or anyone else.

Do not take this class with this professor. She is hard to understand and follow in class and does not do a good job explaining the material. The tests are horrible and the curve not helpful. For the midterms you had to get 16/100 points to pass the exam and it was rare that that happened. Do not take this class with this professor.

Her demonstration is not that bad but the exams are extremely hard (class average ~40). HOWEVER she gives 30% A and 30% B which is very generous. Everything about her will be forgiven because of that fact. I like her.

Please do not take this class. It is not for me , it is for you. If you choose to go to lecture every week, make sure to also schedule in time at CAPS, because you WILL go insane. The only option to continue living a normal life is to stop attending class by week five and hope that you cover the right material in the textbook before each test.

Professor Ni really tries her best, but that's usually not enough. I stopped taking notes after the first midterm, because it just wasn't worth it. I still went to lecture though, because she had clicker questions in order to boost attendance. The first midterm was very easy-- average 85%, which didn't allow for much error. The second was a little harder-- average 69% if I remember correctly. I did average on the first, and a little above average on the second. However, I ended up with an A because I aced the final. She's quite generous with the curve, about 60% A's and B's, and not many minuses, which is great. To conclude, not the best lecturer, but you can easily get out with an A if you try a little.

Professor Ni is a nice teacher however she fails to be engaging in class and didn't explain a lot of important concepts and derivation steps. Professor also has a little accent.

Professor Ni Ni really knows the material well. Occasionally I found it hard to understand what she was saying due to an accent, but for the most part it was not a problem. She was VERY helpful when it came to knowing what we would be covered on the tests and knowing which problems to focus on in preparation for the tests. Overall she is a good professor.
