Lingfei Kong professor reviews and ratings: 3.75/5 from 4 RMP ratings at Northeastern (75% would take again). RateMyProfessor + Reddit.
Very lecture-heavy class, which does get boring at times, but the professor tries to keep it engaging. You need to put in effort to do well but it's manageable. The professor is kind and caring, and gives opportunities to boost your grade at the end of the semester. Exams are worth ~20% each, so pretty test-heavy, but I would recommend her overallFINA2201 2026-05-04 22:37:06 +0000 UTC
Her lectures are not good because her accent is heavy, and she just can't teach. However, she records her lectures, which are much clearer to understand. I looked at those, and with my friends together, it wasn't too bad. If you mess up just one test, it's very hard to get an A+. Make sure to study a lot and make good cheat sheets. Overall okay.FINA2201 2026-04-26 10:50:11 +0000 UTC
She is very sweet and cares about her course. I would say lectures can get very boring, and her handwriting isn't the easiest to read. When trying to learn equations that can be annoying. But formula sheets are allowed on quizzes and there's around 1 hw per week so not too bad.FINA2201 2026-04-14 16:09:06 +0000 UTC
She allows formula sheets on all assessments. Is very nice and kind. Lectures can be boring at times, but she loves to make jokes. Class itself can be challenging, but if you put at least a bit of effort in you can do decently. Would recommend, I've learned a lot in her class.FINA2201 2026-04-13 04:09:35 +0000 UTC
