Reviews of professor Yiyan Shou

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He challenged the class to think of Math in the larger picture that is applicable in the higher maths. With that being said, his teaching prepared me to do well in Calculus. Most complaints about him stem from the fact that people don't like HW, which helps, and they expect the class to be similar to a high school paced college algebra class.

Honestly, the worse professor I have had so far. He taught reasoning behind problems, but not the method of solving anything. I felt like he purposefully chose complicated terms so no one could understand his work. I hated going to class because what he taught was never on an exam. I had to teach myself everything online.

Overall decent professor. Lectures are sometimes a little dry, but nothing too bad. Homework can sometimes be a lot of work. The set theory portion of the class got confusing at times, but he explained the rest of the content well. PS: he posts scans of the HW problems online so if you don't usually reference the textbook don't bother buying it.

It might be because this class was online, but I found this class very hard to follow. He took most definitions straight from the textbooks and his explanations didn't help much in understanding. In general, nice guy.

Yiyan Shou is a solid professor who I had a great experience with. He's pretty chill and good at explaining stuff. What to expect: His lectures are based on the textbook. HW problems are also from the textbook and have good variation in difficulty. Exam problems are harder than the average HW problem but easier than the hardest HW problems.
