Reviews of professor Zuojin Yu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
An ASSISTANT professor, very rude and unhelpful when technical issues arise. Class was fully online, weekly homework and exams. Class isn't difficult but would take another, more compassionate professor over this one.

This class was extremely mediocre to say the least. I truly didnt really learn anything. His videos were just him going over the PP but not detailed AT ALL. Theres math in the course and he didnt show a single example in the videos after asking for feedback. Its just your textbook & vibes tbh. Choose someone else if possible.

Online course.  Timed weekly quizzes, use textbook for them.  Midterm and final both 100 points, given 48 hours to do with come and go privileges.  One paper on a behavioral change given weeks to do.  One group project given ONE WEEK to do not enough time.  Is hardly accessible during office hours if he even shows up. Take another professor please!

This course was a asynchronous class. Professor Yu is a easy grader when it comes to the assignments but takes a while to grade things. Also, Professor Yu lacks communication with the students, I emailed on a Friday and my email was not responded to until that following Tuesday. Overall, weekly quizzes on lectures, a paper and presentation!

A lot of my classmates did not seem to like his class, but those who did ended the course with an A or B. He has difficulty explaining things, but he leverages a lot of resources like PowerPoints and videos to help students. Be prepared to study for the exams even though they are open notes -- you have to understand the concepts.

Not good with explaining the material in an already difficult/boring class. Relied heavily on OTHER video tapped lectures. Be prepared to teach yourself outside of class. You can use homework/textbooks on the exams but I personally didn't find them to be that helpful. Attendance policy is a bit much as well.
