Reviews of professor Yi Duan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Duan is a pretty solid professor. Lectures can be a bit confusing as she does lecture quite fast but she pauses frequently to allow people to ask questions. Homework every week and three tests which are all open note. Pretty solid professor, class isnt too hard. As long as you do the homework and tests you should do fine.

Class was brutal. 75 minute lectures, and by the end, shes basically lost the attention of everyone. Very nice lady, can be difficult to understand. Attendance is mandatory, which was a nice grade boost. Exams are very similar to guides. Would not take again.

If you need a math credit or just simply need to take macroeconomics take this class with Dr. Duan! There are 3 exams throughout the semester and weekly work involves a ten question "problem set" and a 3 to 5 question "aplia assignment". I'm awful at math but this course made it easy, highly reccomend

Prof. Yi is very nice however there is a bit of a language barrier during her lectures. The coursework and tests are semi difficult but I didn't have any trouble passing the class.

exams are only 50 minutes long and you have to answer 25 questions most of them you have to work out which isn't the easiest with 2 minutes per question
- if you need accommodations for more time on exams he won't give it to you unless you get it university-approved
- hw is mcgraw hill and exams are on blackboard
- little communication

Homework is constantly due, videos are hard to understand, and you have to pay over $100 for Engage. The class wasn't hard, you just never know what's going on if you aren't an Econ major.
