Comment:

YUN Gao said "you should read the text book! And do the excise from the book!" You don't need to go for the class to pass the two term test, what his teach in class will not shown in the midterm test. Just read the text book is fine. Terriblable accent. Discriminate for the students.

Comment:

�� i have this professor. Makes us work too hard and at the end we will not see what he taught us on the test. Sometimes I wonder if it's a different professor that set test questions. I will never advice my enemy to take his class. Super bad.

Comment:

He's got an accent but it doesn't hinder his performance in class. Rather decent lecturer. Make sure you've reviewed the past exams and assignments for the final. The final is not hard yet heavy. For the final in the fall term of 2017, the exam time was cut by half an hour without much notice to the students. BE AWARE OF YOUR EXAM TIME.

Comment:

Actually a great prof once you get past his hard accent. Don't skip class because he writes stuff on the board which is very useful. Do good on the midterm and do the assignments, and the exam should be a blast. Use the textbook, do the questions related to the topic and you should be fine for 1025.

DO. THE. HOMEWORK. If you do, you can get an A+. Tests are simple and straightforward. For exams, be sure to look at the posted mock exam (quite similar). Gao's lectures are alright. Sometimes slips and says/writes the wrong thing, but still followable. BEWARE OF THE MARKS: sometimes prone to errors in grades, so keep own record. again, DO THE HWK!

His lecture was boring. All the contents and examples are directly come from book. Strong accent. Quiz and mid term were directly come from homework. Final was also close to homework question. Easy to get A. Overall good. I do recommend him.

Comment:

Professor Yun Gao's lectures are really boring, but his slides were very clear and easy to learn on your own. You don't need to go to class to pass the course. He tries to answer the students' questions, however, he sometimes misunderstands what you're asking. Tests were a bit hard but not too bad. We had annoying online assignments every week.

Comment:

Professor Gao has a very heavy accent and speaks quickly, so he is very hard to understand. During lectures he just reads off slides and copies them onto the blackboard, so attending class is not very helpful. His notes on the blackboard are illegible and very small. Online notes are enough to do well in this course. Assignments not too helpful.

Comment:

He's not the best lecturer, the first week you'll probably spend getting used to his accent (which I stopped noticing after some time) and his fast pace of going through slides. His tests aren't too hard, and his final exam was fair. He'll go over questions you have in class but try to make sure to ask questions that are as clear as possible.

Comment:

I would like to start off by saying his tests are usually early than other classes, lectures are very dry, accent is hard to understand but do not worry as the midterms/test are quite relatively similar to homework questions/assignments. In the beginning, it may seem tough and difficult, but once you get into it the chapters become easier.

Comment:

Professor Gao is an amazing man and is very helpful when asking for help during his office hours. He is very approachable and very much knows his content. I finished with an A+ in the course because he is very straight forward. If you do your homework you will do very well in this course because his tests and exams are straight from the textbook.

Yun Gao knows his material but does a very poor job at communicating it. He moves super quick through lectures and does not provide many examples.
