Reviews of professor Alan Yang

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Weekly assignments are a huge help. Very effective at using contextual exercises to get you thinking like a coder. Cares about students grasping the concepts and leaving the class with an understanding of C#, not just a grade. I would take his courses again in an instant. Wish he taught 360/460, or any other IS course, really.

Professor Yang is unreasonable. He is decent at lecturing, but he is very unreasonable when it comes to assignments. He will dock you 30% on tiny technicalities that shouldnt matter. His tests are insane.

Good choice for IS 350 but you HAVE to go to class or you will fall far behind and everything you learn builds upon each other, so keep up. You will have in class activities where you code in class and he comes around and checks your code (not for a grade)so make sure you understand the content. Attendance is also a grade and he takes it everyday.

Professor Yang is easily the brightest and the most engaging professor I've had at UNR so far. His lectures are always interesting and he is a great professor all around. Super accommodating as well.

He is an amazing teacher. I love his style of teaching. He makes it really easy to learn. As long as you attend class and understand what is going on, you will pass the class. Homework is straight-forward too. Just one assignment due every Wednesday. Highly recommend taking any of his IS classes.

Professor Yang was an awesome IS 301 professor. He makes the topics and lectures sound very interesting and uses real-world examples to further analyze and explain them. Class is graded on 10 easy assignments (one per week), a short project, and two exams. His rubrics, study guides, and feedback make the class and homework straight forward & easy.

He is so clear and concise with his syllabus and class structure I loved it. There is one assignment a week, less than an hour to do. His exams reflect the study guides. (Only one midterm and a final exam) He is very nice and tries to help as much as he can. I learned a lot from him.

I took this class after failing CS 135 bc they were equivalent. This was much easier to understand. If you go to lectures and take notes or access the notes after class, you will understand how to do the homework each week. There are two extra credit assignments that count for two assignments. Go to class, do homework. Alan teaches thoroughly!

Fall 2020 pandemic online, Zoom class. As a person not good at coding, I found Prof. Yang's class very thorough and easy clear to understand. He's very professional on both the coding knowledge and teaching the coding knowledge, like you can truly absorb that knowledge in. Very chill, and like others said, hope he teaches more IS classes ^_^.
