Reviews of professor Yuanyibo Zhang

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
"Lucas" was an amazing professor. He was extremely understanding of our experiences through COVID, and kept great communication. The rubrics were outline clearly, and each unit was consistent. The only complaint I have is that he gave the same grading comments to everyone. I got a 99% (and didn't try that hard), so would definitely recommend.

This professor has such unrealistic expectations for students and the work that he assigns. He is a very nice person but the workload he gives students at the end of the semester is just ridiculous. Lectures were often repetitive and I do not feel like it was worth coming to class after the first month. He is just overall not understanding at all.

Lucas is a great professor. This was probably the easiest upper-division course that I have ever taken. A little lecture heavy but it is not unbearable. The workload is relatively low until you get to the signature assignment.

The professor was a very nice person and was definitely interested in getting to know us, but a lot of the lectures that were given felt repetitive. The same information was presented over and over again without ever feeling like it got clearer. There is a final exam for this course as well as a signature assignment. Very overwhelming by the end.
