Reviews of professor Ying Liu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is genius. She goes to the depth of her disciplines. You may find her classes are hard for the first time but they are very essential knowledge. She also offers office hour.

I took AI under her, my suggestion would be avoid this professor at all cost. Her material is similar to UC Berkeley, even the ppts. No point asking her doubts because she is not aware of the fundamentals of AI. Lectures are boring, she has a thick robotic accent. She only reads the ppt and puts any effort into teaching you the concepts. Hard exam.

dont take her AI course. Ruin my insterest to Ai, the ppt just copy from other school,too much assignment, the exam is not design well. Often only several question(the score is large for a question), For attendence, only 5% score, but maybe at least 8-10 times to show your attendance.

Her strong accent is a bit hard to understand but she's a good teacher and ready to help out with any questions anybody might have. Not very knowledgeable but she tries to help.

1 of the worst profs I have had at SCU. Makes content needlessly difficult due to boring, repetitive examples and THICK accent. Learned almost nothing about AI, only basic probability concepts and decision algo's covered. Often confuses herself and is unapproachable due to robotic personality and lack of English skills. Exam Qs can be unfair. Avoid

She does give much homework assignments and does cover a lot of content in her class. But that said, she is one the best teachers in SCU COEN department. For such a difficult subject, she is able to explain the concepts well and helps her students grapple with technical implementations of AI concepts. I would definitely take her class

Dr. Liu is a fantastic professor. She took time out of her busy schedule to clarify doubts on my homework. Always responded to my emails. If you thoroughly go through the lectures, solve homework problems, you should be able to do well in the class.
