Reviews of professor Yan Yan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Yan Laoshi is one of the sweetest professors I've had. she posts all of the material on blackboard in case you miss anything in class. Attendance is probably the most important factor in your grade. almost all exams are take home. You can tell she genuinely cares about making Mandarin a fun and interesting language to learn.

She was an excellent teacher. You should go to her classes because what she says and the examples she gives will help with tests. Use online Cengage homework. 3 tests and graded homework. Don't have to use the textbook - she will give what you need to know on the slides. Def would take her again. Do all the work and study & you'll do fine.

Yan Laoshi is an extremely nice person and she is very helpful in class. However, she didn't put most graded assignments into blackboard, and was very unhelpful with take-home assignments. I feel that she needs to be more organized and have clearer criteria/expectations. Also she gave 2 pop quizzes that covered material we had not learned.
