Reviews of professor Chunming Yuan

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took him over the winter online so everything was condensed. Grade depended on quizzes, one assignment and two exams. The midterm was optional but that meant the final would be worth 65% of your grade. He also offered a 5% extra credit. Had good curves for Cs and Ds. For the one assignment we had, he upload a video on how to do it so it was easy.

Aside from small tests, literally no workload given. Very chill and laid back class

Very good professor. He is a fatherly figure to me. Great feedback.

I took this Fall 2023. Professor Yuan was really good! I am not the brightest, but he was always willing to clarify concepts when asked. Just make sure to take notes during his lectures and ask if you're confused. There's one simple project and the exams. As long as you pay attention in class, you'll do good. The exams are the bulk of your grade.

A terrible professor. I learned absolutely nothing from him as this class was 100% self taught. He held no lectures. It was like he wasn't even there. I'm not sure how this is acceptable, it seems very lazy. Avoid at all costs - take a professor that will actually be present and put forth some sort of effort.

Straightforward course, everything you need to succeed is provided, and if you don't understand he is open to answer questions. Good man, also is funny

He wasn't the best communicator, and there were some odd rules he enforced on tests and quizzes, such as not allowing students to return to previous questions they had answered. We also didn't cover very much material. I think it would be better taken in person.

Great teacher, like a dad to me, taught me how to change my tire. Thank you Chunming.
