Reviews of professor Yangyang Liu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Liu did a great job teaching Inorganic chemistry. You MUST attend lectures if you want any chance at passing. However, if you don't catch everything in a lecture, she can send recordings from previous years. Her instructions and expectations are always made very clear.

Professor Liu adapted to teaching better than most professors during the pandemic. She provides recorded videos of the lectures that contain all the information needed to do well on assignments, quizzes, and tests. She also makes herself available to answer any questions during class meetings and office hours.

I took Dr. Liu for CHEM 3600 in Fall 2019. The course material for CHEM 3600 can be abstract and difficult at first, but Dr. Liu did an amazing job of teaching it. She is very accessible outside of class and responds quickly to emails. Attendance is important to do well; powerpoint slides can be hard to understand if the lecture is skipped.

Dr. Liu sets it up so that her lectures are posted and you watch them at home and she does review in class and is very clear about what exactly you have to know for tests. She adapts exams and timelines to every individual class. DO THE EC - you won't regret it. She wants students to get high grades and it really shows! Definitely recommend her!

Dr. Liu is effective on teaching methods. She is good, and exam average is high. I really like that she actually talks about the exams and quizzes during the class to make sure all student can understand what she expects student to know before the final. Class was exceptional in preparing me for future research regarding Inorganic chemistry.

Dr. Liu is an amazing professor, she tells you what is necessary for you to know and what topics to not get hung up on if you don't understand. She is extremely helpful in office hours and makes her power points available. She takes a difficult subject and turns it into something you actually care about learning. I would recommend her 100%.

Dr. Liu is an exceptional professor! I took her class when it was switched online halfway through the semester due to the pandemic. Even then, the quality of the class did not decrease. She did her best to accommodate every student and offered plenty of extra credit. Would definitely take again.

She cuts down the meeting day and upload a lot of videos. When you started to have quizzes and exams, she would spend time go over and over the quiz rather than giving lectures on the new material. Then you started to fall behind. In the end, she gives extra credit to made up her mistake to curve the grade.
