Reviews of professor Yau Man Cheung

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
439 was a relaxing class, easy participation quiz at the end. Quizzes can be challenging based off textbook. Exams are straight from textbook also with same questions from quiz and participation. The exams also involves short answer which has so much memorization. The projects were piling high and lengthy not related to textbook but ym was helpful!

He was a very nice person but has an accent that is hard to understand. The classes were very boring. The midterm wasn't that hard. The assignments took hours to finish.

The course is one of the easiest course I have taken at UBC with almost no effort. The assignments are way too easy and should be made more challenging. The class literally throws free marks at students. Absolutely no effort is required to walk into final with 95% +

I liked YM because you could tell he loved his subject and had a great time teaching it. That said I would never had taken this course if it was optional because I found the material very boring. However the assignments had very clear guidelines even if they took a while to complete. Easy midterm.

It was a very challenging and hard course IMO. I recommend going to every class and stay o top of the work. Your mark will be either 20% or 85% depending on if you get it or not. Few lie in between
