Can I give her 10 stars? Lei is by far the HIGHEST quality professor I have ever had at ACC. Her lectures are very clear. I took Macro with another professor, and I was so lost, but with Lei, I understood all the concepts clearly. She cares about all of her students, and she wants you to succeed. She also took time to get to know me and my goals.

Professor Ji was probably the best professor I've ever had. She cares about her students and goes the extra mile (or two!) to help them succeed. Her lectures were clear and when the course went online (because of COVID-19) she helped us as much as possible. I really enjoyed her class and would ABSOLUTELY take from her again.

Lei Ji was a great professor. 7 HW Assignments (lowest dropped) with 3 attempts each + 10 Extra credit opportunities + Midterm + Final. For the Midterm and Final make Quizlet from the HW assignments and memorize and you will do fine in the class. Tons of time if you do the full semester online. Loved the spaced deadlines and easy to work with.

Professor Lei Ji is great. Do not miss any assignments as she is strict in regards to deadline extensions, Meaning you won't get any. One mid term and final which make up most of your grade. The content can be tough sometimes but just study your homework and take notes and you'll do fine. Great professor!

I took the online Macroeconomics Course and had no complaints! Professor Ji makes clear all concepts that you need to know in her video lectures, and is concise. This class is something that you will need to devote some time to, but Professor Ji sets recommended times that are quite accurate. Would recommend to anyone needing an Economics credit!

Professor Lei goes above and beyong for her students. Not only does she send out weekly reminders of what needs to be done and how long it will take for time management, but she makes a chat group for her class and will answer any question at any time. She is always very polite and professional, and is also thorough in her lectures.

Weekly emails can help keep u on track with material. I think there was a book, but u don't necessarily need it to succeed and pass. Math and econ aren't my strong suit, but lots of videos helped. Teacher likes to say "If this concept confuses u, that is ur problem and u need to go back and relearn by urself". She was accessible tho thru a groupme.

I took Professor Ji's 8-week in person class. She is super organized. Her lectures are all nicely laid out, and she's on top of answering my questions real quick. She knows her stuff and throws in real-life examples during class. The assignments and extra credit options are Lifesavers.

She does do very nice lectures and explains things very well. But be careful on procrastinating on watching the lecture (if doing online), and turning your homework in on time. She does a midterm, and a final exam, both are closed notes, respondous lock down browser. If you don't procrastinate you'll be fine in the class :)

This class isn't a walk in the park, so if you're looking for easy credits, you might want to choose another professor. The lectures here are fantastic, and I've learned a lot more than I would from textbooks alone.

Professor Ji is fantastic! She is very comfortable with what she teaches, always explains the "intuition" of a concept instead of just forcing you to memorize it, and answers questions in a helpful and timely manner. Homework is easy if you pay attention in lectures, tests are relevant to material, and there are extra credit opportunities!!

Prof. Ji is the best professor in ACC. Her recorded lectures are AMAZING! And she is very helpful -- responding to texts and emails almost instantly. 7 assignments and 2 proctored exams. Many extra credits and make sure you do those. You will learn a lot and get a good grade if you are willing to work!

I took an 8-week hybrid class with Prof. Ji. She is seriously one of the best teachers I've had. Her lectures are clear and always connect to real-life situations, which makes everything make so much more sense. Honestly, this is the first time I've felt like I truly understand a subject. Make sure you attend classes regularly though.

The best professor I have ever met at ACC. First of all, I like her teaching style. She knows how to explain complex concepts in the simplest way for everyone to understand. Secondly, her online videos are excellent. Lastly, she truly cares about her students, making an effort to help each one achieve their goals by providing professional insights.

I selected this prof based on RMP reviews, and they were pretty accurate. I went from being ahead w/ a 89 to behind w/ a 76, due to a drastic work schedule change. I dropped in fear of failing her class but she organizes the class & explains the topics so well on BB! I kind of regret dropping bc I JUST KNOW she set the bar so high for the next prof

7 assignments (63%), 1 proctored closed-note mid-term (10%), 1 proctored closed-note comprehensive exam (27%), 8 official extra credit assignments (8 pts), 1 unofficial extra credit course survey (6 pts). You'll need to dedicate a lot of time to this course to understand all of the concepts well. Professor is very kind, I would take her again.

I absolutely loved this class. Professor Ji structured her course in a way that set us up for success. She was also very accessible by group me or officer hours/appointments for any help. Her lectures were engaging and slow enough to follow. I would definitely recommend anyone to take this class, especially if you want to truly learn economics!

She was very clear right away on the grade breakdown of this class, its very simple. The assignments are more like open-note online tests ranging from 25-50 questions, but they aren't bad at all and the questions mirror those seen in the two tests. Pay attention in the lectures and you will be golden.

Dr. Ji is not only an excellent professor, but she also cares deeply about her students. I was going through a very difficult time in my life and doubting myself a lot. During the semester, I received an email from her. She was the only person in the world who truly saw my effort and my progress, and she took the time to tell me that.

Professor Ji is super easy. One homework assignment a week: multiple choice open notes homework, 3 tries. The proctored midterms and the final are literally the exact same questions as the homework, so just study the homework. Opt out of the textbook. One extra credit point a week for taking detailed notes. You cannot fail.
