Reviews of professor Yao Chu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had a very bad experience with this class. He is very bad at lecturing. The lectures were useless because he just read the textbook word for word and barely did any practice questions that would actually help us on the quizzes. He also yelled at students everyday and was very rude to everyone. He was rude in emails and in class. Terrible prof

I took him last semester. The quiz was difficult and have to study a lot.

Lectures are very dependent on textbook use. Make sure to do the readings and examples, and make sure  ask questions in the next class to understand the examples in the textbook fully. He stressed which types of problems are essential and which are irrelevant. Also gives examples that connect to real-world scenarios which makes the class engaging.

Professor Chu really CHEWED! I would say his exams weren't too terrible (I would say the best exam was exam 3). The practice problems and the homework absolutely helped and he provided us with an exam review so, we know exactly what from the concepts we've learned in class are expected to be on exam. Also, he does give a good curve.

Chu is a really bad professor. He just reads straight from the textbook and never goes into depth about what we should know. He also can't even do some of his own problems, one time he literally took 30 minutes trying to solve a problem and he ended up just skipping it. Tests are hard and he refuses to curve them, so good luck!

Pretty fair to be honest, exams were tough even with the review but physics is a hard subject overall. He does rely heavily on textbooks when explaining concepts. The curve really saved me tho ngl. Not a bad professor overall compared to the rest of the science professors at Hunter, he's great, and gives opportunity to still pass

I don't even know what to say about this professor. This professor cares the least about his students, he is very mean and will not care if you fail or pass.

He is a good professor who relies on textbooks heavily. The tests were not that easy but the concepts were from the textbook, and he used to give us a short review that would help us prepare more for the test with the testing topics. Homeworks were mandatory and he had apparently given us a good curve that really helped at the end of the semester!
