Reviews of professor Yun Yang

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The lecture is better than reading the textbook alone, but it is skippable, in my opinion. The midterm is super easy, but the final is very hard, with a huge curve and hidden scores. The homework has a large variance in difficulties but discussion is encouraged. There are only 2 OHs per week from course staff, which is a minus.

As long as you follow the lectures and do the practice exams, you should be okay with the midterm and the final. It is not as hard as what most people described.

Watch the lectures and read the textbook and you'll do great!!

The WORST professor I've met in college. It seems to me that he never cares whether his students understand the lecture materials or not. Lectures are TOO fast-paced without sufficient explanation for each part. He just writes proofs and theorems on the board and moves onto the next materials without much explanation.

I took the spring version of STAT 510 which is geared towards master's students. The guy basically showed and wrote his notes on the board furiously. He covered a lot of material and you feel that he stopped to ask if we had questions only to say that he did.

Terrible teacher. Homeworks, exams are hard. Nspire calculators are not allowed. Don't take his class! He is talking to himself most of the times during class.

Forget those negative comments, just follow the lecture and homework, you will be fine. If the test get hard, there will be a generous curve.
