Reviews of professor Yu Chen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Avoid this teacher at all costs, he truly puts in zero effort. I thought his reviews were overreactions, but his reviews are 100% accurate. Unfortunately he has been the only teacher for this class the past couple of quarters, but if you the ability to wait for another professor I would strongly suggest you wait.

First semester teaching at SJSU. Has an impressive background in info systems. Weekly Salesforce labs and take home quizzes. 1 midterm (first half of book) & final (second half) with cheatsheet & review sessions. She gives lots of opportunities for EC & truly wants her students to do well. She even curved the midterm by 8%, making my B to an A!

Super nice professor and will help you when you have questions. If you didn't pay attention in Intro to Bus. programming, you will have trouble!! We used Python/Tableau for assignments and a big project (broken down into several parts). Easy class if you pay attention, study, and do your work.

Rating a professor based on the fact that English isn't their first language is extremely strange. That being said, Professor Chen often doesn't focus on the heavier parts of the course, but I've had way worse instructors

The first class, she said that if you haven't taken Micro 201 that you WILL fail her class. Even though it's a co-requisite? She told us to drop her class because we will fail. Real encouraging. She speaks HORRIBLE English, there's no point in showing up to class beause you won't learn anything. If you can self-teach, it will be easy. Terrible prof

Made the class unnecessarily difficult. RUN.

She has a very thick accent and sometimes I found it difficult to understand what she was saying because she spoke so quickly. She is not very engaging in class, pretty dull and seemed like she didn't really care about teaching the subject matter. Easy though, I went to probably 8 classes the entire semester and finished the class with a B.

If you do the homework, practice several times, this class will be easy.

There were too many lecture slides within the class time frame. DO NOT TAKE! HEAR MY WARNING. A TA told me how bad this class was and they were not wrong. If you do take this go to section it helps.

Hours and hours of homework every single week that are worth measly amounts of points. 2 Midterms and a final determine your entire grade. NEVER taking another class again with this professor. Avoid if possible.
