Reviews of professor Li Yang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
the worst. wanna know what's relevant? Yang says EVERYTHING, you need to understand all of it completely: all 700+ pages of the textbook, 2 other textbooks, 10 online science subscriptions, Wikipedia, YouTube, and your Material Science book from 2 summers ago. says his assignments and lectures are inadequate preparation. acts like it's his 1st job.

Let me set the stage. It is Friday at 9pm, last class before finals was yesterday, Reading Day is Tuesday. He has not graded the past homework, any labs past Lab 1, the very first assignment, and more. Another HW is assigned due Monday. Is this even legal? Definitely not ethical or logical. This is the man you will deal with the entire semester.

When this person grades, he has a wheel to determine grades. I do not know how people who make the same mistake could get more points taken off dramatically. Be prepared to fight him for your grade. His labs are a complete waste of time but our worth 15% of the grade. His labs also make no sense and I am convinced he comes up with them the day of.

The first day of class he told us we were expected to read the 1000 pg textbook.. lol. Thats funny. In terms of the assignments - thank god for google. He expects you to infer on concepts he doesnt teach in the first place. His tests are ridiculous in the fact that he tells you the material you need to know/read two days in advance.

Doesn't teach, takes forever to grade, makes you drive 30+ mins to plant tours every week, test topic is over "anything and everything", unfair grader, homework over random concepts he never even mentioned, shows up late to everything, impossible pop quizzes. AVOID IF POSSIBLE!

I have no idea what the class was about. The projects were unnecessarily hard without clear guidelines until you turned something in and it was wrong. Lectures are boring and unnecessary. Tests were easy and were open responses with no math.

The exams are ridiculous. Yang will not tell you what will be on the exam and the amount of information needed to take the exams is unrealistic. To even have a chance on the exam you better make a diabolical cheat sheet with all of the information from the textbook. On the other hand, Yang is very nice, and the plant tours are cool(Might carpool)

Very unprofessional, late to all classes and unorganized. If you can avoid, save yourself the confusion and take someone else.

Unfortunately, Professor Yang was exactly as the other reviews say. His teaching style is absolutely atrocious. His homework and tests have nothing to do with his lectures other than the topic. He doesn't have lecture notes, just slides of photos he talks about. The class is basically self taught, only you have no idea what to even study.
