Reviews of professor Yanhui Zhao

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Handouts are super helpful for homework, quizzes, and exams. Quizzes are open note and open book. You get a one-sided formula sheet for exams, and there's two bonus questions on the first two midterms. The final exam is the standard FNBSLW344 final. Super quick to respond to emails. Attendance is graded, but if you miss, class is recorded.

If you have the chance to take Professor. Zhao for Investments, do it! She reviews material every lecture, has exams that are very similar to practice quizzes, is always in a good mood during class, and genuinely wants everyone to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. Her accent is not too difficult to understand. Take her!

Worst class and professor I've had at UWW so far. Going to class is so boring, since all she does is read notes directly off the PowerPoint up until the end. I can do that myself on my own time. Makes things way more complex by taking time to show you something confusing at first, and then will show you how to do it on the calculator. Don't take.

She's ight. No curve on exams or not even a mention about the exams we take. Also calls on people randomly if you don't want to be called just don't talk to your buddies next to you because she seems to do that. Honestly the other comments that say she just moves on is false she does ask the class if they understand it for 3mins, but no one speaks.

Her lectures are difficult to understand, and she doesn't explain concepts well. She doesn't use any real world examples and stares at the class blankly. She can't read the room, nor does she show that she cares about students. The entire class sits there confused and she just keeps going on. She is a nice lady but a poor teacher. Don't take her.

She can be hard to understand sometimes but overall the class is fairly easy. However, if you skip class, it can be hard to figure out how to do things from just the powerpoint because it provides answers not the how to. I had no idea what was happening for most of the semester and ended with a B+ so it's doable.

Difficult to understand, doesn't read the class at all, just moves on without explaining things and doesn't use examples. Bad class. Not even worth showing up to - just read the notes and textbook to understand things and try to do well on the homework.

Worst professor I've ever had at UW-W up to this point. She may know her Finance stuff, but for the life of her she cannot teach and explain it, nor can she tell how to read a class. Clearly everyone in the room is totally confused, you can tell by just looking around-- but she can't. Also, as others have said no curves or mentions of exams.
