Reviews of professor Yaqi You

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Before you take the first exam, she has already lectured from 14 different chapters in the book. When you ask a question in lecture, she will walk right up to the person who asked (no matter where they are in the lecture hall) and talk to them as if the rest of the class isn't there. Very disappointed in ISU for allowing this professor to teach.

Dr. Yaqi You is an intelligent professor but her teaching skills are less desirable. She is learning though, she has change the way she does her exams to .. better suit the students. Answers to exams comes off from the slides. Seek her out after class and she will help you. She is very caring and helpful if you take the time. Dont expect an easy A.

A lot of people in my class disliked Dr. You, but I really enjoyed her as a professor. You have to work for an A, but I've learned so much in her class, and she goes out of her way to help you if you don't understand the concepts. You just have to be willing to reach out! Super knowledgeable, and very approachable. I'd take another class from her!

I was really excited to take Microbiology as it is more related to my major, but after taking this class from this professor there were major concerns. Dont ask questions about the tests cause you wont get an answer, the class test reviews are pointless as they just re-read the lecture slides. I have never been so stressed in my life. Do not take

Lectures are read straight from the slides. She is very quite so its hard to hear. The class average on our first exam was a 51% so she grades very hard and expects alot of detail in your answers. She does not narrow down what you should study for the exam so you are expected to poke through 14 plus chapters just to study for one exam.

Worst professor I have ever had. She reads directly from the slides and does not give you any answers to your questions. For the tests she gives no guidance of what it will cover and tells you to read over all of her slides and the book, the first test she covered 18 chapters. Trust me do not take a class with this professor ever!

I was extremely excited to take this course but I have hated every moment of it. She reads right from slides and if you ask a question you won't get an answer. First test worth 25% of grade and 51% class average. If you ask for help she says "Just get a 100% on everything else". It is sad that OCHEM is less stressful than this class.

Highly recommend avoiding You as a professor and an advisor. I've had a horrible experience like many others. Unaware of prerequisites of own class, and discourages students from advancing.
