Reviews of professor Yue Ning

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Awful Professor. zero flexibility for in-class attendance (funerals? too bad, losing credit). No clear explanation for answers to quizzes beyond "You should know this, I taught you this in my lecture." 

Clearly an ineffective professor, yet an accomplished academic. Be prepared to devote significant time to coursework.

Never ever take her courses. Very tough course, tough grader and doesnt give partial credits

No help at all when you don't understand her teaching. She basically reads from the slides and there's no engagement. No effort is taken to engage with the students during the class only engagement is to test the students from her lectures which she reads from the slides. She doesn't know how to teach just reads from slides.

Assignments are challenging and hard. You get 2 weeks for each assignment. Start early ! Total 4 assignments mostly coding with python. Only midterm no final exams the midterm was hard. Lectures r heavy and can easily get losf. The way she teaches is not easy for everyone to understand. You need prior knowledge of probability, linear algebra.

just don't take her class. don't consider if students can follow. too hard for people just get started with ML or DL

Teaches an intro class like she's speaking to other experienced academics. Homeworks are unreasonable and demand skills not listed as prerequisite to the class. Of the countless hours I poured into this class, the majority were spent teaching myself what the professor almost certainly should have taught us herself in the classroom. Do not take.

She has taken the complete coursework from Stanford's NLP with Deep Learning course. This course was first introduced this semester and she didn't care about how many of us are really following her class. The coding standards were never taught and yet even the slightest referring on Google got our marks deducted. No appreciation for project/paper

She cannot explain most of the concept very well. Most of her class is reading her slides. The only way of her teaching is hard quiz, hard homework and hard exams. I don't think her class content quality and depth could match with the hardness of the exam and homework.

For the hws you need to start early so you have time to ask ta's/her questions if they come up. Prof responds well to emails and at least this semester changed lectures based on feedback. Don't get salty, she will help you learn what's a very new field. Deep learning isn't a prereq though, but there's no way to do recent nlp w/o it.
