Reviews of professor Brian Yang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The absolute worst professor i have taken in the 4 years ive been at state. for 3 hours he would read off of his 44 page long powerpoints and barely give his students any time to work on actual problems. During exam days, he would TEACH an entire new chapter that is not even going to be on the exam BEFORE giving the exam. STAY CLEAR OF THIS TEACHER

This is an excellent professor! Many students just view the lectures and ignore the recommended reading, ultimately resulting in frustration. If you want an 'A', then you need to do your job as a student and read.

worst teacher i have ever taken in my 4 years at this university. be prepared to teach yourself the material because his lectures are absolutely useless when it comes to taking his tests.

Some of the homework problems were not covered clearly in his lectures but were still manageable. Just make sure you put in the effort with your group members for the assignments and you should be fine.

Great professor, classes aren't boring even though they are long, very easy to talk to, homework isn't long, tests are relatively difficult but that's expected, and overall I would recommend taking him.

He's honestly a really sweet guy. His study guides are amazing, study those and you'll do well on the exams. Most HW is in groups, choose your members wisely. If you have a great group you'll do well. Lenient grading with the assignments, as long as you obviously tried you'll get full points. One group project.

Professor Yang is a great teacher, I highly recommend him for Finance 357. He is a fair teacher, homeworks are easy, and he gives study guides for his exams. Attendance was not mandatory

3 exams equally weighted and the rest is homework. Exams and homework are fair and based on what we cover, no trick questions. Great lecturer, but also viable if you are comfortable reading and studying from home. Relaxed class and learned a lot. Very caring person and passionate about teaching financial reporting and analysis.

Prof. Yang is a pretty easy going teacher. There are group excel HWs every week, and towards the end of the semester 3 individual HW consisting of multiple choice. The group project is a spread sheet that was pretty long but the work is split evenly between the group members (4-5) people. The course material is also mandatory.
