Reviews of professor Chen Yang

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Yang is a decent professor and you can really tell that she knows her stuff and wants students to succeed, but her lectures can be a bit disjointed. However, if you study for quizzes and pay attention in lecture, the class shouldn't be too difficult. Overall, not the best but not the worst.

She's funny and great at explaining concepts, it seems like she really cares about her students. I had Abrams but his lectures were confusing. Her lectures are really comprehensive and it feels like she explains things in a way that makes sense and logically flows from topic to topic :)

She is not good at engaging students in lectures and can sometimes get lost in her explanations of certain concepts. She has sometimes even explained false information in class and a couple of times has had to be corrected by other students. Youll do better if you just read the textbook and do the problems instead of listening.

Yang was new at lecturing a tough course and people got mad at her when they didnt do well. After a tough exam she gave extra credit opportunities and was fair. Discussions and reading the textbook are what got me through this course though, lectures just kept me on track and helped see what she was emphasizing.

Lectures are unclear & have false info sometimes. Quiz material seems like its written by Abrams so he covers all of it and Yangs always behind. Watched Abrams lectures on my own time so just take him instead. Theres clicker questions in lec that count for participation so you need to show up. Study and read the textbook to do well

Yang does great at explaining concepts further when asked, and has organized and well-paced lectures. While I never attended an office hour, I have heard that she is good for those as well.

Although some people say that it's harder to understand her lectures, I think if you pay enough attention in class, it's not that hard to get the concepts. Professor Yang is super patient at explaining the concepts that students don't know. She's also willing to stay after class to answer them, and she pays a lot of attention to her students.

Many students could not understand what she was saying(poor elaboration and could not find the right wording.) The topic depth that she would teach did not match the other 3 lecture sections and she never acknowledged or responded to the feedback she was given during lectures or through her own QI assessments. DO NOT choose her section.
