Reviews of professor Ying Bao

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Bao is a great professor. Expectations for tests are very clear and the study guides are helpful.

Dr. Bao is inconsiderate and quite disrespectful to students. Lectures are fast, and midterms are 3 hours long each (by Dr. Bao's choice). After posing questions no one knew the answer to, she would laugh and say "you guys should be concerned about the exam" instead of walking through what we should know.

I had Dr. Bao for analytical chemistry. She is an awesome professor, she gets to know every student and really cares that your understanding the material. She's more than willing to work with you outside of class. She is funny, and her class environment makes you want to be there. If you want to learn chemistry, she's definitely the right choice!

Analytical is a difficult class, but Dr. Bao's teaching made it a fun experience to have. She goes to lengths to help students having trouble, and makes herself available outside of office hours. There is a lot of homework, and the lab reports are long- there's a lot of data analysis- but Dr. Bao's tests are fair and she cares about her students.

Dr. Bao is an amazing instructor. She makes sure everyone knows what is going on. She can be a bit fast at times, but will gladly slow down if you ask. She has a bit of an accent that can be hard to get through at times, but its not the thickest accent of the Profs I've had. She makes her office hours as available as possible so go to them

My favorite chem professor I've had at WWU! She is very sweet and funny, really cares about your success in her class, and makes it very clear what will be on the test. A lot of people are mentioning her accent: I didn't find it difficult to understand her at all and never had an issue with being confused by it! 10/10, would recommend

Dr. Bao is extremely passionate about the success of her students. She has high expectations and the course material is difficult, but if you put the effort in, you'll be successful. She's very upfront about what will be on her exams and very friendly with partial credit. Awesome lady, super intelligent and kind. Would love to take again.
