Reviews of professor Jingyuan Yang

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Nice Professor but does not know how to teach. You will listen to lectures 3 hrs long every class. There are 4 quiz's 4 hw's and 2 exams which make 50% of your grade. She makes the quiz and hw's very hard. This class is set up to try to fail you. Don't take unless you want to suffer. I did not learn anything from her class. Look for something else.

Very nice professor. I really learned from this class and enjoy it. It's very interesting class every business major should take you will learn a lot of tools that good to add them to the resume. The lectures and vides are very clear. Just read and you will be fine.

Reads off of slides with zero personal feedback or thought. I'm not even sure if she knows the material herself. Gives difficult, vague quizzes and doesn't take away lowest score. The tests are worth 25% each which gives us no room for failure if you're a bad test taker. The hw is fine, just takes some time. This class sets you up for failure.

Prof Yang is nice and reachable. The powerpoints and lecture videos were informative and helpful. The group project seemed difficult at first but she was always available to clarify all your concerns, which helped a lot. Quizzes and exams were not hard, and I just studied from her lectures.

I wanted to share how I did very well in this class. Just like the person below whomever wrote it...it is true. Put your work in and show you have a passion in learning how to code. I also do not have any coding experience when I came in to the class. Overall, TA and professor are so helpful with me.

Go to class, get a good group for your project, study for the exams and you'll do well!

Yang is a good professor. She has had much experience but it does not translate well to teaching. Most lectures consist of 100+ slide notes so its easy to get bored and doze off. The projects in her class are also difficult due to limited exposure we are given to softwares. My advise; pay attention more than usual and ur good. Exams kinda hard tho.

Shes a very sweet person, but not a great professor. Personally, it is impossible for me to learn if all a professor does is read off of slides and thats what she does. Quizzes & homeworks are hard and our grade is based off of very few things (4 quizzes, 4 hw and 2 exams)
