Reviews of professor Yu-Luen Ma

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Get ready to watch a thousand lectures. Timed, lockdown browser, and webcam exams every two weeks, and an assignment on the opposing weeks. Confusing and hard, but manageable if you have a good memory. I will say this class is a good class for real-life situation lessons.

RMIN 4600 is a tough course between the group project and the second test is very math heavy. The class is really interesting and Dr. Ma does a great job of teaching especially during Covid-19. Don't get the book. This course does count towards the CRM certification. It's a big step up from RMIN 2500 be it is doable right after taking 2500.

I've never had a class like this. The professor knows every student's name and she makes extra effort to help her students. I received a summer internship because of Dr. Ma's help. She changed my life! The grade insurance project is challenging, but I learned so much from that experience. You need to use Excel for the project. Be prepared!

One of the best classes I've had! Learned so much and made good friends in class through the fun project assignment. The professor is super nice and helpful.

To be honest, I took this class as a filler. The class was a little boring but it was not hard at all. The professor was good about getting back to you promptly if you emailed, unlike others. Also, there were lots of extra credit chances. I honestly didnt do any because I was too lazy to do them since they were in person for an online class. 7.5/10

This is a great class. I took it as an elective and so glad I did. Professor Ma responds to email super quickly and provides individualized feedback to every student after each exam, which is amazing. There are many opportunities to earn extra credit by attending industry events and campus activities.

Dr. Ma is very knowledgeable and cares about her students. Her recorded lectures are pretty dry, and all of the quiz questions come from her lectures. She does provide practice problems with answers for the homework assignments, which was helpful.

This is a class where you will learn a lot because you are challenged to apply yourself. I feel so much more confident entering post-grad now that I know about insurance. There are bi-weekly quizzes and homework. All quizzes are taken on LockDown Browser. The professor cares about her students and is very responsive to questions. Highly recommend.
