Reviews of professor Veronica Yan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I LOVED Professor Yan's class. She is so enthusiastic about the material and really made class fun!! There were weekly quizzes/readings, and 3 "take home" exams/projects. She provides individualized feedback for every assignment and provided tons of opportunities for us to ask questions and get clarification! 10/10 recommend Professor Yan!!

Dr. Yan is one of the best professors I've ever had. She is so passionate about what she lectures about, and is very engaging, even with the online classes. There is a good amount of reading each week but it is so interesting. The quizzes are manageable and if you stay on top of this class you will get an A. This is my favorite class I've taken.

Does not care about actually teaching, told us during lecture the university only has her there for research, not to teach. Nice woman but condescending when it comes to trying to improve your test grades. Hardest class I have ever taken in university, survived and moved on with a C.

Dr. Yan is AMAZING! Learning, Cognition, and Motivation was the best-taught class I've taken at UT (considering she literally studies how to be an effective teacher). Tuesdays were lecture days, Thursdays were applied learning days. If you study the right way (which you learn how to do in the class), the tests are super fair. I LOVED THIS CLASS!

Dr Yan is a knowledgeable, caring, funny, and adaptable professor who structures her course to be engaging, enriching, and enjoyable. Her class lectures are a mix of student presentation/teacher lead discussion with breakout activities in between. The workload is reasonable and interesting. Highly recommend this professor.

Professor Yan cares about your mental health and learning. This semester, she didn't have any exams, only a final. Her lectures are short and note didnt take up 4 pgs. On Thursday's there was a group assignment (one hour, easy). On mondays, you would have a quiz due based on previously learned, new material and the readings of the week

She is very knowledgable in her lectures, but for test you are going to have to STUDYYYY hard or you won't do that good because the test questions aren't just match the defintion to a vocab word. There are 2 projects you have to do which aren't too hard, but just time consuming.

Professor Yan is one of the best teachers I've ever had. Attendance is mandatory but I don't dread going to class because she makes the lectures engaging, breaks everything down, and truly cares about her students. If you do the homework, put effort into the in-class assignments, and study the powerpoints before the unit exams you'll be fine.
