Comment:

Dr Yang is really great at explaining statistics. He provides lots of examples and answers any questions you have in class. He really wants you to do well and understand the material. Cons: doesnt offer extra credit. 50% of your grade is one test and the final, lots of homework, and hes a strict grader. Overall hes pretty good!

Comment:

One of the best math professor I took in PCC. His lectures are very clear and well-thought out. He changed his criteria this year by not having daily quizzes but having daily homework. Gives extra credit if you do the practice problems, which are helpful during the exams. His class may be exam heavy, but his exams aren't difficult.

This class has no midterm so the final will be cumulative. The inclass work sheets sometimes doesnt cover everything neccisary to do the home work. You get three extensions for home work.

Comment:

Hes a good professor, very intellectual about the subject but intense workload for someone like me. We had hw every class, online quizzes every class, in class quizzes, and tests, and worksheets. It was A LOT. I had to study for hours for his test just to get a C all the time. But then again it was hard for for me to pay attention to his lectures.

He is the best math professor hands down! His teaching is clear and easy to understand. Easy going and understanding guy, if you have trouble understanding the material he does all he can to make sure that you understand it. Take advantage of his office hours, they help!! As long as you pay attention, do the homework and STUDY then you'll def pass.

Comment:

He explains things very well to the class and tries his best to ensure that each student knows how to do the work. He would sometimes have students do practice problems and he would walk around helping those who need it. A good strategy to study for this class is to do all even and odd problems in the textbook related to the study guide. Good Luck!

He makes Stats so easy! He gives plenty of homework and quizzes but they both help so much on the tests. If you struggle with math, take him! Hell take his time with the class to explain everything and if you are still confused hell help you out during office hours.

Professor Yang was really good at teaching. He always thought of the best ways to teach his students. Although his exams may be difficult, you'll get through it if you studied. There is a lot of homework, but it prepares you well for the exams.

Comment:

Very nice and funny, but there's always a quiz or a test every week. He gives a lot of homework, but he's lenient with it. Overall, his tests are pretty difficult, but he does give partial credit and curves the tests if he sees the need to.

Worst math teacher at PCC. I was lost the first day of class. He expects everyone to be experts without knowing the material. I dropped the class and will not take again! Save yourself!!!

Prof Yang explains the theoretical science behind calc concepts and calculations which are helpful to understanding and recalling certain formulas. He's super down to earth and approachable. There are few tests; do well from the beginning bc he doesn't drop any! Tests are straightforward and he provides helpful study guides. Grades hw on effort

Good: Tells you exactly what to do and expect in a test. Helps you understand the material. Interesting personality. Cares about students' success. Bad: Don't take if you want to understand the deep mathematical basis of why you do things in a certain why. Misc: Lots of homework. Easy tests. Makes intro stats easy. Mostly calculator work.

If you show that you care, Yang'll care and do the best he can to help you. He passes out worksheets for his lecture, and makes a study guide before each test. No midterm or buying a textbook 'cause it's a pdf on canvas for hw, 4 tests, a final exam, and 26 hw assignments total. Quizzes online, 2 tries. Tests are worth a large chunk of your grade

The keys to pass in his class is do the homeworks, quizzes, and ask if you don't get it. Really test your reading skill. The class is really fun. Highly recommended
