Reviews of professor Zhijun Yang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Yang was probably the most distant and unclear instructor Ive ever had in my college career. It seemed like a smooth sail until the end. There is a Final Test and an ongoing group project. Test is small but highly weighted. He was late on posting final grades, gave no feedback on our group project, and left assignments unopened.

The first thing I enjoyed about this class was the discussions. I appreciate that Mr. Yang didnt discourage us from it. Id say he managed it well because whenever it seemed like we went out of topic, he reeled us back in. The second aspect of the course that enjoyed was the reading content.

He was very approachable and would give additional time if needed. He answered questions in a timely manner. He was very honest at caring all students' ability to pass the class. Especially, I liked him encouraging all students to work as group on homework and project. Mr. Yang did a good job teaching us the basics of finance.

I obviously didn't look at the time the midterm exam was due and I will own up to that and admit it was my error, however, i study my hardest for this exam and I would like to be considered giving a second chance to take it. Prof. Yang is very considerate and willing to accommodate. To me, it means a lot because Prof. Yang is caring for students.

Dr. Yang knows very well about the subject and our challenging situation. He created a space for students to feel comfortable to ask questions and seek help. I like that exams are open-booked. I like the flexibility Dr. Yang provided to us during this pandemic.

Prof. Yang knew we were not the typical college students, so he said as long as we try, we will pass. He understands life happens. At the end of semester, he would like to provide extra credit to help everyone to earn passing grade.

Just posted presentations that were a copy/paste of the textbook. I am still questioning why I paid as much as I did for this class when all he did was give us textbook readings. All in all, he was way too distant throughout the entire semester, and I would not take a class with him again.

I liked that there was a group project and it was similar to real world situations where you have to analyze a companys options to select the one that best fits the companys needs financially. Also, the layout of the course and the weekly presentations by Dr. Zhijun Yang was very helpful in understanding what skills we need week by week.

Aswesome! He is a great teacher and he really cares about his students ! I had him for 390 and 395 and I did great in both classes. One group project that if done well, will boost your grade. Study hard and he'll love to write great recommendation letter for you!
