Reviews of professor Weijian Yang

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took him during COVID so the class was crap but it wasn't his fault. Tests were brutal (50% average mt 49% average final) but lots of extra credit. Not a great lecturer and when you ask for help during OH he will just do the examples from class or tell you to refer to lecture notes. Dude, I came here because I didn't understand the lecture notes!

He uses half the lecture to let us solve examples, can be a waste of time. 3 quizzes, one final. Exams are very reasonable and graded leniently. He is very helpful in his office hours to help us better understand the HW problems. Labs are not stressful and quite straightforward. The TAs take a lot of time to grade the exams. "No problem, right?"

1 quiz, 1 MT, weekly HW. Genuinely cared about his students and this course. Lectured off Rashtian's notes. Very smart man but humble. After low avg MT, changed the policy so that for every 10% your final was higher than the MT, he shifted grade distr. 5% away from the MT to the final. Made final easier after hard MT. VERY generous curve. :)

I think he expects us to know far more than we actually do; his lectures are often hard to follow. Labs were p easy, but even though he said what type of problems would be on the exams they were still very hard. Average of like 55% on them. But he curves a ton, so not too hard to pass even if you don't understand a lot of the course.

When he said "no problem" I really felt that, it hit pretty hard.
