Reviews of professor Andy Yao

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
if u want an easy A or B take him. u can finish the class way before the semester even starts cuz he opens it super early. quizzes and tests are all open book and pulled mostly thru the class notes. there is a group project so make sure u get a good group and youll be fine. he the goat for not using lockdown browser and allowing it to be open note

If you like spending 15 minutes per week on a class then you've found it. Very straightforward assignments and instructions that get straight to the point, no need to listen to long lectures. He posts everything 2 weeks before the start of the semester, you can honestly have the class done before you've even seen all of your syllabuses.

One of the best professors, and the only regret I have is that I did not know about him in my previous semesters. I got an A for 341 and am now enrolled in another class with him.

I ook him over the summer and he opened the course at the beginning of April, before spring semester ended. He's very straightforward in what he expects from the homework and they're very easy if you just follow the steps that he gives. Will definitely be taking again.

Professor Yao opens the class way early before the semester starts! It is helpful since you can get it out of your way and do not have to worry. The Hws and project was fun to do and interesting to know how to use AWS and virtualization. The quizzes and exams was ok, it was bit hard but makes sense since he opens the class early.

Best Professor at GMU, took MIS 341 and 420 and taking MIS 441 in the summer with him again. His grading is very fast and he let's you fix your work if you do it before the deadline.

Only 2 quizzes, 2 tests, and one project. Tests and quizzes come straight from the notes super simple (open note no lockdown). He opens the class 11 weeks before class starts so you can get it out of the way before the semester even starts. Just make sure you get a good group for the project. Overall easy A/B. Take him if you want a good grade.

All online and you may work on your own pace. With that said u can finish the class in a single week if u work for it. I finished in 2 weeks and didnt spend too much time in that time period. Exams are the most challenging thing about the class, the rest is a breeze. Finished with a B cuz of hard exams. Would take again cuz I finished so fast.

Released blackboard class long before the semester started to give us a head start. HWs and quizzes are fairly simple as long as you follow the guides.
