Reviews of professor Yan Tricia Sun

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Sun was a decent teacher. Her lectures are just her reading PowerPoints. We had weekly online homework assignments that were decently easy. Her exams are proctored and fairly difficult. Overall, it was a boring class but an easy A/B. She was extremely approachable and easy to reach. She really cares about you and your success.

She is one of the best professors at cmu. She really cares about her students, and she is always willing to help you out if you are struggling. I failed her first exam, but she helped me prepare for the second one and I got an A. Definitely recommend taking her for any accounting course!

I was in Tricias first class and she is an absolute gem. She cares a ton about your success and will answer an question you will have. She is sometimes kinda hard to understand but she will repeat anything you need. She makes accounting super simple and fun

Very resourceful and helpful. She's passionate about the subject and genuinely wants you to succeed. The lecture and the lecture packets are very useful and effective. Puts in lots of effort to make the class engaging, helpful, and meaningful. Very kind and respectable, so glad she's teaching at CMU!

She is one of the best professors I've had at CMU. She genuinely cares about her students and tries to make the class enjoyable. If you are struggling with something, go to her office hours because she is very understanding. Attendance is taken every day so make sure to go to class.

She is an extremely nice person and a good professor. I had her in ACC250, a class which I was really not looking forward to, and she made it more than tolerable. Her course structure is pretty standard and includes readings, take-home quizzes, and exams.

Tricia is a very nice person. She loves teaching the class and is always in a good mood. The students' success seemed to be very important to her and she often let us know about opportunities for internships and other programs. She was very lenient, accepted late HW for full credit and sometimes gave everyone 100% on HW just for coming to class.

This professor was super sweet, but class was very boring. You also get graded on how often you speak up in class. I was dropped from A range to B range because of this. With all of that being said, Yan Sun cares about her students and genuinely wants them to learn. If you see her during office hours she will gladly help.

The best professor I've had here at CMU by FAR!!! She is extremely caring and wants her students to succeed no matter what they are dealing with, especially with the switch to all online classes due to COVID-19. She explains everything very thoroughly and if you do not understand something she has no problem going back through it. Take her class!!
