Comment:

If you devote the time and effort to doing your work and paying attention, Mr. Lu is a really good teacher. A lot of people are very rude to him in class, which is very bothersome, but he really does care about his students and gives lots of opportunities for students to not only ask questions but also raise their grade.

Comment:

Yin Lu is not an easy A. You have to do a LOT of work outside of class. If you only rely on his lectures, then you will not do well in his class. He made SO many mistakes on the board during lectures. He is actually pretty generous with partial credit. Do not take if you prefer not teaching the material for yourself. Wouldn't recommend for most.

One of the worst teacher I have ever taken. He just doesn't connect with you as a student and is just a bad teacher overall.

Comment:

Yin Lu was the worst professor/teacher I have ever had. He is an extremely tough grader, and his tests are very difficult. He does a terrible job of teaching and explaining the material. He also does not answer questions well. I highly recommend staying away from his classes.

Comment:

Yin is a great professor. He is a very fair grader and offers many point opportunities to bring your grade up. He gives many quizzes that you can use your notes for, which are always based off of homework problems that have been done in class already. His tests are based on the homework, so it is very straight forward and there are no surprises.

Comment:

He's the kind of teacher where if you do everything right and make one tiny algebra mistake, you get a fifty percent, and these problems are hard to begin with. He doesn't do a good job of teaching, more just does problems, and is difficult to understand due to an incredibly thick Chinese accent.

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. I literally improved my grade by skipping lectures and watching YouTube videos (check out Professor Leonard on YouTube if this class is your last option). His accent is very hard to understand. ZERO enthusiasm in the material. Very hard to stay focused. Avoid at all cost!

Comment:

Not to be mean, but the only way to learn in this class is to ignore the lesson and read the book. He's pretty much just good at handing out sheets with formulas and getting to class on time. The second things get clever it is easy to get lost and a thick accent doesn't help. Only those who teach themselves, have tutors or don't need a teacher pass

If this is for MTH 176, do not take him. I don't understand the importance of 176 but there aren't any great professors for it.

Comment:

Overall, he's a good professor. In our class, MTH180, the homework is optional, but I strongly recommend that you do the homework. If you don't do the homework or participate, you most likely won't do well. The class is very student led. Attendance is really important, as he gives one problem as a "quiz" problem at the end of each class.

Comment:

Lectures are hard to follow. Not only is it hard to keep up because of his accent, he tends to dodge questions, talk down to the entire class, and ask the class more questions than he gives answers. The test / quiz questions are incongruous with the in class material and assigned homework. The material is easy, but he makes it difficult.

Just be prepared to teach yourself a lot. The basics of the chapter are lectured but the homework is tough and a lot of it you'll have to figure out yourself. One of the toughest classes/professors I've had.

Mr. Lu is a great instructor. He has a thick accent and will not spoon feed you answers, and some people do not like that, however, he is very patient and will go over anything anyone doesn't understand till they get it. He grades mercifully if you show your work. I regretted buying the book, was easy getting the problems from a friend.

Comment:

He is an Amazing professor. Always reachable before/inside/outside of class. Gives you as chance to correct things if needed with explanation of what was done wrong. Lectures were fun, and understandable. Always gave you a chance to ask questions and participate. Will be taking him for the next level math class.
