Hard class, lenient grading
Hard math class but understanding teacher.
Online math class. Awesome teacher. He held webinars at times that we requested. Always answered questions. Really promoted critical thinking. Still in contact with him. Also very understanding and relatable. Wants you to "be good" at math.
I HATE math ( I wish I loved it!) and I was really scared to take this class. If it wasnt for professto Yuan, I wouldnot have been able to get through. It checks on your progress and does what he can to help you pass.
Homework doesn't have to be turned in. You need to post usually one problem from the assigned sections in the forum. No more than 4 per week. Weekly multiple choice quizzes. No midterm. Teacher answers your emails within 48 hours, comments on forum work.He is very approachable even though this is an online class. He wants his students to pass.
This class was hard, however, Professor Yuan provided excellent lesson instructions and extremely helpful podcasts. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
This was definitely a difficult class but with Mr.Yuan's continuous weekly podcasts and emails, this made things a whole lot easier and understandable.
Got off to a rocky start but thanks to the support of Professor I did well I think.
Mr. Yuan was very helpful throughout the course. He also stayed very involved during the course. He has great communication with the students.
Mr. Yuan possesses a great ability to teach math especially intermediate algebra.
Good Teach! This class is not easy, there is a lot of work but the teach is will to help and shows a genuine concern for how students are doing in class. And since it is online he puts his lectures on a pod cast so you can watch like your in class
Easiest math prof ever. Very flexible! !!!
Great teacher.. Pod casts every week are very helpful.. Mr. Yuan is always available to help with any questions.. Flexible and fair.. Had fun, learned a ton.. Thanks
I wish that I could continue with Mr.Yuan into college algebra. Unfortunately, they are not offering it this summer online at BBC. I love the fact that he took his time to create a study group on FB. He is always there to help us with homework! I also like the fact that part of our homework is to post problems from the book that we have solved.
He was very easy to talk too and promptly answered questions. His lesson greatly helped with learning. Wish all instructors were like this.
Professor Yuan is very patient and will go out of his way to help if you ask and make an effort. He is very helpful and understanding.
Very helpful and provides many ways of learning and help in all assignments. Provides multiple choices of learning, and responds to questions and concerns very promptly. Though the class was hard, if I ever needed help Mr. Yuan was there. Math isnt my best subject, but he made the class easier than I expected. Good class.
Open, but accountable in assignments. Provides a lot of media to aid in studies. Great professor!
BEST ONLINE TEACHER EVER!!!!!! Very helpful! EVEN USES FACEBOOK!
Very dedicated to his students and willing to help us learn anyway he can even started a study group for all of us. Really enjoyed taking this class.
Although I do not usually understand math one bit, Prof. Yuan made it very easy to learn and remember what was taught.
Amazing for an online math class. He offers more options, like FB, podcasts, emails. Extremely helpful. He actually wants you to succeed and does everything he can to make it happen!
The most involved teacher I have ever had! Math is my least favorite subject and he is making it a plesant experience. Offers tons of helpful tools, pod cast videos etc. Facebook group helps out alot. Even does in class help for an online class! Very accessible teacher and really cares! I still hate math but it's tolerable now. =)
Carl Yuan is an awesome professor. Very helpful and patient. I was one of the students who needed daily help and he always answered his phone to help. I aspire to this great of a teacher one day. Thank you Mr. Yuan
I've had a couple of encouraging professrs before but I've never had one who was rooting for me! Having a professor who really cares is very encouraging.
best online teacher I've ever had.
best online instructor I've ever had.
I have never had an online experience like this one where the professor was truly engaged in every way possible throughout the entire course. Very proactive and cares about each student's outcome.
The lectures were really helpful. And there are no deadlines! You have the entire nine weeks of class to turn in absolutely everything, and it doesn't affect your grade. My only problem was that some of the lessons were a bit garbled because the math symbols didn't display correctly, but it's not a huge problem and it's pretty easy to work around.
Carl Yuan is a Wonderful teacher.
Online Math is not the best way to go if you can help it but Mr. yaun does pretty much everything he can to help you understand the lessons and there are no deadlines, you just work along as you go
Mr. Yuan was very helpful and really cares. He responds promptly to your questions and made every effort to assist me in this online math class.
Good class hard to fail because the professor gives you eveything you need to pass@
I really liked Mr. Yuan. He's been on of the most helpful college professors I've had. I look forward to taking my future math classes with him.
Best online teacher by far! Thanks for all the help!
I REALLY APPROPRIATE HOW HELPFUL YOU WERE. i ALSO ENJOYED THE LIVE SESSIONS YOU HAD.
The class was very well put together even though it was online. All of his lectures were very clear along with the work. Great teacher and I would reccomend him to anyone who is looking to take Math. I am looking forward to his Math 55 class.
I havent done a math course in 8 years, I have had Mr.Yuan for Math50 and 55, and he has clarified and explained math better then any math teacher I have ever had.
One of the best and most helpful teachers so far, I only wish I had him for math 50, it would have made this class a whole lot easier. Quick responses to questions, really seems to care about the students grade and understanding of the material
Prof. Yuan was an excellent professor. His goal is that his students learn the material he covers. He allowed us to retake quizzes that we scored poorly on, and would help us to make corrections to problems. Genuinely cares about his students and enjoys teaching. Loved this teacher!
A teacher who will do all he can to make sure you succeed in his class. This was an online class out of town (30 miles away) He has a reviews every week at the campus and and other locations (not mandatory He is available by e-mail, and his Facebook group just for this class. Quiz corrections allowed for better grade. Best class ever!
Mr. Yuan is by far the BEST teacher I've had! He is very interactive with the class and makes learning fun! I was not looking forward to math but I ended up really enjoying this class and I look forward to taking more of Mr. Yuan's math classes!
The best Math Teacher ever. He is very helpful and he really wants you to know your math. Very fast to get back to you and he puts alot of time into helping.
This professor put so much time and effort trying to help me understand. I have taken two previous math courses and both instructors failed to help me understand.
AWESOME teacher. He would hold "classes" on weeekends (not mandatory to appear) to help anyone who needs an extra hand. I would highly recommend him. Wish all teachers cared about their students like he does.
Best Teacher Ever.. I took three classes and dropped them all till Professor Yuan. I took both Math 50 & 55 in the same semester and passed with an A. He does all he can to help you get an A you need only to put in the effort and you too can pass this class. I will always recommend this teacher for anyone considering a Math class..Best Class Ever !
Definitely the best math teacher ever! You are given every opportunity to be successful & he is so responsive! I am actually delaying my next level of math in hopes of him taking it in the fall. I hate math but Mr. Yuan makes it tolerable!
Probably one of the best professors around, Mr. Yuan was the perfect combination of tough, fair and hilarious all rolled up into one. I couldn't have asked for a more caring and dedicated instructor. I wish he had a Master's in everything, that way he could be my professor in all of my courses!
One of the best teachers!!! The class is not easy, but the teacher helps with everything, always answer emails and even phone calls! Recorded lectures and online lessons really help in learning and is more then enough, you don't really need a textbook, well you need it for homework! In one word very good teacher with good understanding to students.
Mr. Yuan is a really fair professor. You need to do all the discussions and all the quizzes to get as much points as possible just in case you don't do that well on the final. If you live nearby he sets up study groups. He makes podcast available to review the lesson. Allows you to retake quiz for a better grade. Put in the effort and you'll pass.
Mr. Yuan is a great teacher. He gave us every opportunity to succeed by offering live reviews of the curriculum, podcasts, and even created a facebook study page to allow for free use communication between himself and fellow classmates. The work is not difficult. Best online class/ math class I have taken to date. Thank you Mr. Yuan :)
Never a lapse in communication through the entire online semester which is very important to do well in the course.
Even though this is an online class, he goes above and beyond to personally help, by meeting students for live tutoring at several libraries. If you have a busy schedule, this class is ideal for you, because Mr. Yuan do not have restrictive deadlines, so you can you can take this class at your own pace.
Prof. Yuan is a great teacher! I took his class online; and I am horrible at math! He was always available to help and help live reviews. Highly recommend.
Class grade breakdown is 50% final exam (skip the final, fail the course). Quizzes are weekly, but he allows corrections on missed questions to improve your grade. No homework (his classes are 9 weeks in length), but the discussion questions are based on the book assignments. He goes out of his way to visit in area cities for study sessions.
I highly recommend this instructor. The class was difficult and there was a lot to do in 9 weeks, but he let us re-do missed quiz questions for full credit and only required posting 3-4 questions per week on the discussion board. I took the class online and was too far away for the tutoring but he made himself available at several locations.
Mr. Yuan is a very clear instructor. He give's many chances to learn and improve your grade. I would highly recommend this teacher.
You will need the textbook (Used is okay, he doesn't use MyMathLab) and know your word problems: on a lot of the quizzes, they make up half of the questions. (The problems aren't terrible: most word problems in the text are the same level as pre-Algebra.) If translating word problems are an issue with you, find another course.
It was a pleasure being able to learn from Professor Yuan. He was very helpful and quick in responding to students despite his large classes. He is very organized and gives you links, materials and info you need to succeed in his class. He is really intelligent and an awesome professor.
I couldn't have wished for a better instructor. Professor Yuan was upbeat, methodical, patient, consistent and welcomed questions. He worked hard at helping me grasp the concepts he was teaching and made class both meaningful and fun. I never thought I could make it through a stats class, but I did and it's a credit to him.
Professor Yuan made the course stress free!!! He is awesome and the best ever Math teacher...
Amazing Teacher. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Answers questions clearly, and in a timely manner, usually same day. Gives you an optional lectures on Saturdays in various locations, so his distance students can learn. The only way to fail his course is if you simply don't care to do the work. Best teacher on campus.
First off, I just want to start off by saying he is VERY flexible! If i ever needed any help he was a calltextemail away !!! Math can be tricky and sometimes you just need a refresher course and he explains everything well.
Professor Yuan is by far the best professor I have ever had! He does make you work for your grade, but is VERY clear on explaining step by step in order to succeed on every assignment! I highly recommend any of Professor Yuan's math courses especially to students (such as myself) that are not strong in the math department.
I was in his online Statistics class. Super nice, gave so much time on assignments, totally understands the concept of online classes. Funny, nice, makes math not terrible. Great teacher.
Excellent Professor! I have always had a hard time with math and Prof. Yuan make learning so much fun and easy to understand. He is prompt with e-mail communication and seems to go above and bound to help each and every student learn! He even uses social media, including Facebook study groups, besides the school's class webpage.
Great teacher. Pay attention and you will pass the class.
Took him for math 55 online during the summer. His class is clearly defined in syllabus and it's very reasonable. His final though was tough. Would definitely take him again. He emails often and returns emails quickly. Highly recommend.
Yuan is a great online Math teacher. He's very accessible and uses Facebook to connect with his students and have an online study group, allows corrections to submitted work as well. Great teacher.
Mr. Yuan has set my expectations very high for future professors of mine. He was very understanding and patient. Totally recommend him and his class!
Professor makes it difficult for anyone to fail. Amazing communication with students and unless you procrastinate until the last weeks of class you should be able to pass. Podcasts sent via email every week by the professor are great!
Professor Yuan is an excellent teacher who wants to see you succeed. He is dedicated and takes the time to help, regardless of issues. He will work with you to ensure you are understanding the materials presented, and will take extra time to explain if needed. Would recommend to any distant student who needs Math credits for graduation/transfer. :)
He's great
Mr. Carl Yuan is one of the most inspirational teachers I have ever came across. The way he teachers is very understandable. I desire for him to teach me all of my other math classes. His Facebook live videos is very useful.. At any given moment, no matter what time of the day it is, he is willingly to help out his students with their questions.
His lectures were detailed and helped clear concepts that you may not have grasped strictly from reading. He is also readily available for any questions you may have.
great professor. I took the online math 55 class with him, best decision ever. I wasnt planning on taking another math class online with him but when I saw he was the professor, I just had to.
Best math professor, I would take him over anything.
This teacher provided everything a teacher should and more. He is always there to answer questions and gets back to you very quickly. He is also very funny and very smart. I would recommend this to anyone, those who love math and those who hate math because he provides an exciting class.
Prof Yuan is by far the most helpful professor I have ever had. He is always accessible outside of class and will go above and beyond for his students. I emailed him for help with transcripts and he didn't stop helping until I got what I needed. Recommend this class 100% even if you suck at math (like me)
Math is not my best subject and Professor Yuan goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. If you have any questions you can contact him directly and he will get back to you in a timely matter. I would highly recommend this professor as well as taking his class. It was very organized and straight to the point.

Provides extra credit, is caring, fair, understandable, and makes it extremely difficult to fail his class. He is very open to helping his students via social media and responds to messages at an adequate time. Great instructor Highly Recommended
Awesome instructor, He makes class fun and explains everything thoroughly. Was always available to answer questions and help with problems, give advice and explain what was hard to understand. Friendly, professional and undrstands what it is like to be a student. Honestly one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of being educated by.
He is awesome, always there to answer questions and give feedback. He gives extra credit which is nice.
Second class with Prof. Yuan (Math 1+ 2). He's the most hands-on professor online or otherwise that I've ever had. I have really enjoyed his Statistics class as its unlike any class I've taken before, he really does make the class fun and interesting all the while utilizing social media to make the class more fun and accessible. A++++
Great professor. He made many of us feel comfortable and was transparent in means of what to expect and what to do for his class. Walked us step by step, was engaged as well. Made statistics interesting. He answered questions at any time, day, night, weekday, weekend. As well as holidays. He has been one of the best professors I have had.
Prof. Yuan is flexible he is always there to help you when you're stuck, Online math class sounds terrifying but with stick to Carl Yuan and you will be fine, allows you to work on your homework at your own past which was perfect for me because I'm kinda of a slow learner.
He is a very understanding teacher. Very educated and you can tell he has a passion for teaching. He is very fun. I didn't think an online class could actually be fun until I had this teacher. I am very glad my friend recommended him to me to teach math. Thank you for being such an awesome teacher and a great inspiration!
Professor Carl Yuan makes the course fun. He comes up with interactive class activities and provides you with many tools to succeed in his class. He is always available and will help in any way possible. I would highly recommend taking his online courses.
I have taken him for previous courses and he is very supportive and helpful.. he answers all emails and questions you may have and wants u to pass this class..
Great teacher, easy to communicate with, always available for questions,
Professor Yuan is definitely a professor I would recommend for other students. He makes the class fun with the social media interaction between the classmates. If you're one who hates math, taking this course with Professor Yuan will make you change your mind about math. He is a model professor in which anyone would like any professor to be like.
Professor Yuan is the best teacher for math and statistics I would definitely recommend him. He makes the class fun and he is always there to answer questions!! Turn in all the homeworks and spend the time you need and you'll be fine!! Definitely will take him again!!!
He is great and responds quickly, always available. Makes study guide for final. Material is clear, stay on track and you will pass.
Professor Yuan is the best professor I have ever taken. He is a clear grader, his discussion boards are fun, and his tests are not that hard. TAKE HIM!!!! YOU WONT REGRET IT!
Professor Yuan is fantastic! He's great at breaking concepts down into layman's terms and giving a thorough podcast of every week's lessons. He was always quick to respond to questions and made an online class really interactive and unique. You will learn a lot and so long as you don't allow yourself to get too far behind you will do great!
great professor. he gives you plenty of chances to pass the class if you dont it wouldnt be his fault but yours.
even though this was an online class i feel like i really had a more hands on and accessible help from a teacher in this class versus some of my actual classroom setting classes. with a mix of FB live podcast, active on discussion board and his tutorial videos , with the help from him this class was alot easier to digest such a difficult subject
Prof. Yuan was an awesome instructor to take for Math 2 at Barstow Community College (online). It is tough, as you have to keep up and understand what is going on, but it was a great and easy class! Glad I chose to take it with Carl Yuan. Social media is a biggie in this class, so its what makes it fun!
Prof. Yuan is an awesome instructor. Loved the fact that he incorporated social media into the class! Gives extra credit opportunities and no deadlines on assignments, but you should keep up so you don't get left behind on the lessons. Its a fun class, it is alot of work the last weeks, but you get to use resources to help you do calculations!
Professor Yuan is a great professor. I was in his math 2 class (statistics). Goes up and beyond with his facebook lives and always available for you to call or email quickly. Great humor overall great class for such a challenging subject. Best advice I can give is stay on top of the material, ask questions, get tutoring and you will be fine.
Best ever! I was hesitant to take math online ESPECIALLY Statistics, but Professor Yuan is simply amazing. Hes super chill and I loved his style of teaching, it was something refreshing. The book is more for your own advantage, but he teaches through FB live lectures and YouTube. He incorporates social media which makes the class activities fun!
BEST TEACHER BY FAR
An engaged and caring teacher, one of the best I have ever had. I didn't care for the way other students took advantage. If you are a new student please don't blow off the class or the teacher that's what causes mean teachers. He is the best math teacher I have ever had. I am sad he isn't my professor for my next set of classes.
A very lectured, straightforward, caring, and amazing teacher to have for math. It was my first-time taking an online class which was scary for me, later I go use to know the knowledge about the online course. If you take his class you will definitively pass, which includes quizzes, discussions, and a final. Overall, the best professor I have took.
Best online teacher! He cares a lot about his students and wants them to pass! He accepts late work but do not get behind! I loved that he incorporates social media to help us out. Professor Yuan goes above and beyond for the success of his students. If you don't pass his class, its because you didn't want to pass. Definitely recommend!
Professor makes it EXTREMELY difficult NOT to pass this class. Available and willing to teach until the content is understood. Excellent teacher.
The best math teacher I have ever had. Math is not my favorite subject but Professor Yuan made the class enjoyable and welcoming. I love that he's so willing to help us.
Prof Yuan gave us so many tools and guidance that it is really hard to fail this class. He is always accessible and makes statistics really fun with assignments, class activities pertaining to real life. Best teacher ever.
He is a really good math teacher.
Great Prof.
Not an easy class. Dont fall behind on your work. Professor Yuan is excellent. Very accessible for questions and feedback.
Professor Yaun is an amazing instructor. I tried getting into his algebra classes (recommend from my school counselor) but he is so in demand that I could not get a spot. I'm glad I was able to take him for Statistics. He is a caring professor and his methods of teaching are excellent. He explains clearly what is expected to be completed.
Professor Yuan is an amazing professor, he makes sure he does everything within his power to make sure that all of his students are understanding the material. From his weekly Facebook live sessions to his detailed podcasts/demo videos, and of course his availability to students he goes beyond most professors in all areas. I recommend Prof. Yuan!
Professor Yuan is an excellent teacher. He spends a lot of time preparing material to help you understand the class. There are many ways to contact him if you need help and he is always quick to respond. His teaching style makes the class fun and easier to understand, but you do have to work for it. Most of all he truly cares about our success.

Professor Yuan really cares for his students. Provides may different ways for one to understand the lesson. As long as you try your best and show that your trying he will grade you well.
He makes himself available and he's very informative. The course load is decent. He gives extra credit several times. I enjoyed having him as an online professor, he made me feel as if I were in actual classroom. He does podcast and will explain problems that you don't understand. There are class discussions, activities, and quizzes every week.
Thank you for being who you are, and running your class the way that you do. The constant communication and feedback is well appreciates.
Mr Yuan is the best instructor that I have taken at BCC. He actually takes the time to give his students the material they need to succeed. I have never been more motivated. He gives podcasts and tutorial videos that give a substantial amount of helpful information. He is the best professor I have ever taken!
Great teacher! Statistics is a hard class, but professor Yuan provides thorough podcasts that go over each topic. If someone has a question he has many ways that he can be contacted through. We utilized social media for many assignments, which made assignments enjoyable since we use those particular social media sites daily. Overall great class!
Prof. Yuan is the best teacher I have had at BCC. He cares about his students and provides you with many tools to help you through this class. Statistics is not an easy subject but Prof. Yuan made it to where you can get through it.
Professor Yuan always goes above and beyond to ensure students are receiving the education they deserve. While taking this class I can honestly say he was my professor for the last 2 semesters and I wouldnt change that. He always makes sure theres enough time and gives extra time for assignments and is very caring. THEE BEST MATH INSTRUCTOR!!
Took two math classes with him and I have major math anxiety. His lectures and teaching style helped me to succeed and I recommend him to anyone.
Nicest Prof I had. He makes you love Statistics. He uses technology to engage students, With all the support Prof Yuan gives it is hard to fail this class
Super helpful and is willing to work with you if you put in the work. Makes the class interesting and fun. His teaching style is different, but in a good way that makes the class fun!
There was a total of 45 extra credit points to be earned this term. He gives rundowns of the quizzes each week. He also has videos explaining the lessons as well as podcasts and PDFs. He is very active outside of class and responds to students quickly. If you can keep up with the work, which is all due end of week 9, you can pass with an A easily.
Professor Yuan is a elusive gem for Statistics. He is caring and understandable on what lessons are hard and explains the rest to you. He uses social media to connect with his students. There are 9 quizzes, activities, and a final exam which is a piece of cake. I really enjoy on how his teachings stay intriguing. He is an awesome professor.
Mr. Yuan is a great teacher and extremely helpful. He helps you under the tests and how to do better on your discussions and class activities. Would definitely recommend!
He helps you every way he can. He gives extra credit, helps you understand the tests with rundowns and also shares with you how to get better grades on your discussions and class actvites. Would completly recommend !
Professor Yuan is the best teacher I have had. He wants his students to pass so he gives you all the information needed and is accessible when you need him.
Prof. Yuan was a great prof. to have. I took him for statistics and Im not good at math and Im a slow learner, but taking the class with him made it easier. He doesnt have a deadline for assignment so if you are a slow learner like me this class will be helpful! He is very interactive with students and responds to emails fast.
Professor Yuan is one of my favorite instructors! I took him for elementary algebra and taking him again for Statistics. Statistics is a hard class but I recommend having him for a teacher. He will answer any questions you have and will even give extra credit. I would recommend him every time for a math teacher. Thank you professor Yuan!
You can tell that he wants all of his students to pass by giving extra credit, extra time to do weekly assignments without penalty and allowing quiz corrections. He made a tough class manageable and fun. Definitely one of my favorite professors. Also his incorporation of social media (live fb videos) was great/helpful to get our questions answered
Professor Yaun, is a great I enjoy hes ess on showing us how to do are work and the PowerPoint and most of all video and hea live chat. You gave us all the materials needed for weekly activities and quizzes to help us understand all the information and data given. I would take professor yaun again.
Profesor Yuan Made my STATS class look so simple by always being there to answer questions.
He is an extremely good professor. Gives you every opportunity possible to pass the class.
Carl Yuan is by far one of the most caring and thorough professors I have had at the college level.
All the videos he posts are so helpful. Definitely watch them all
He was a very good teacher, he makes the work easier and trys to help you as much as possible
Prof. Yuan wanted success for all his students. He made it very possible to pass such a challenging class. Statistics is hard but he does a good job to break down all the materials so that it makes sense!
Always willing to work with his students! Goes above and beyond!
It has been a pleasure to have Prof. Yuan as my stats teacher. He was very thorough in his teaching and he made a very hard class less stressful. I have recommended him to many people taking statistics.
Great professor I highly recommend his class.
Professor Yuan is easily reachable and replys in a timely manner. He provides plenty of information for each weeks homework as well as videos.
Professor is very helpful and there is really no excuse to fail the class. You can ask him anything and he will provide you with lots of information and help. He is always available. He also offers extra credit. The class is decent in how hard it is. Just keep up your work ethic and pay attention. 10/10 would take again and definitely recommend.
Professor Yuan is the most flexible professor I have ever had. He knows the importance of school/life balance and helps in every way he can. There is multiple resources he offers and he is always available. I messaged him on facebook a couple of times and he responded within a couple hours. The coursework is tough but he is very accessible.
Work is a little hard just don't fall behind and watch live videos on Facebook and it'll help a lot. He's lenient and works with you to get a good grade.
Has unique teaching style but grades fair. He puts in a lot of effort to make sure You have plenty of learning methods. Lets you make up your work and submit quiz corrections
Professor Yuan by far has to be a professor that is extremely good. Honestly, have not came across a professor as him. Great feed back, gives really good help, broadcast that can be seen over again if needed. I would take any other course with him, just a class environment that just makes one feel comfortable and motivated to learn.
Professor Yuan is an amazing teacher and very helpful. For being an online teacher he is there to help you at any cost. He understands that stats online can be difficult so makes sure he gives us every possible chance to succeed.
Professor Yuan is the BEST math teacher I have ever taken. After taking professor Yuan I was able to really understand the material. He's a very understanding teacher and he does expect you to participate. He goes live online so you are able to interact with him and the class. His expectations are very clear. Super Helpful and genuinely cares.
Professor Yuan has been a great Math instructor! Starting back to college was a fear of mine, due to Math, but Mr. Yuan allowed me to work through each problem and ask questions as I went along. I highly recommend taking Mr. Yuan if you fear Math the way I did.
Professor Yuan has been the best Professor I have had in my 2 years of college. I had him for Math 55 and Math 2, and trust me you will learn! He gives a lot of opportunities to pass, so if you don't pass it's because you didn't want to.
Carl Yuan made statistics very easy for me and allows you to work at your own pace which is great for people who have busy lives and/or work at a slower pace. He makes weekly videos to help lecture the material and on top of that is easy to contact with any questions regarding the curriculum.
Awesome instructor and is very helpful with being their for you even without it being in a actual classroom and does live videos to go over lectures and tests.
A wonderful professor highly recommended. Gives positive feedback and great/fast responder for emails. Very understanding of the needs of his students. Yes, there's lots of homework but he is there to help with any questions. Amazing Professor who knows how to teach and explain the work well which is very important.
Professor Yuan is by far one of the best math teachers I have ever had! My first time receiving an A in a math class since my freshman year in highschool. replies fast to emails, very involved in class discussions and is very lenient when it comes to work.
Professor Yuan is amazing! He's always available when needed and helps out with any questions you might have.
He is the best teacher! As an online student sometimes classes can be difficult to understand. He makes it clear to understand and he is one of the only teachers that I know to involve Insta and FB! Fun class! I love cake, and if you take his class you will too!
My favorite part of this class was being able to interact on Facebook. I have not met any professors who will take time out of their day to do live videos to explain the week topics.
He is AMAZING! Finished both Math55 and Math2 online with him and it wasn't bad at all. Extra Credit and he gives you time to complete you work. Always there when you need him. Lectures that are prerecorded and on Facebook Live. Tips: Don't fall too behind and ask questions if you need help. Professor Carl Yuan is HIGHLY recommended.
Took Professor Yuan for Math 2 online at Barstow Community College. First class with him. He is a terrific Professor all round. Very organized and very helpful. Would definitely recommend him.
Professor Yuan was definitely one of the best professors I have had in a very long time. He continually makes sure you understand what is occurring in the class as well trying to accommodate everyones schedule to be able to help you understand as much as possible. I do recommend his class no doubt!
Amazing professor! Take him. You wont be disappointed. Uses social media to help keep you engaged. Easy A as long as you keep on top of class work.
Best online teacher I have ever had! He cares and is very understanding about personal issues. Gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. He uses facebook live to teach small sessions once a week. You can contact him day or night and he will get right back to you. Don't take math with any other teacher!!
honestly, best professor i have ever taken. He cares so much about his students and gives so many resources to help you. I really wish there were professors like him at my university. I would take him for all my math classes. He explains really well and he is very easy to reach. Also, take advantage of the many extra credit opportunities!
Wonderful professor. Cares about his students. Great communication, gives you every opportunity to succeed. Use of social media to post lessons and facilitate discussions & participation is innovative and incredibly accessible. He offers so many resources to help you. Get off rate my professor and sign up for his class you'll be glad you did.
Mr. Yuan is one of the best professors I have thus far. He makes himself readily available to his students via email and social media at any time of the day and is very responsive to any questions regarding the material at hand. At first, I was afraid to take a math class online. I would recommend Mr. Yuan to any student looking to actually learn
Professor Yuan was clear and organized throughout the course. Usually online courses feel like you have to teach yourself; but Professor Yuan provided us with podcasts, live sessions on Facebook, quiz rundowns, extra credit, and always responded promptly to messages and emails. But just like any class, you have to stay on track and earn your grade.
Was terrified to take Stats class online but Prof. Yuan is an exceptional teacher. He posts numerous announcements on different forums making sure you're on track with him. Gives plenty of extra credit and leniency to make sure you're able to complete all work with decent grades. 10/10 would recommend, helped me feel very confident in my work.
This teacher really cares about his students. You have to work for your grade. The subject is difficult but he makes it less painful to learn. Taking it online was scary for me yet I was grateful for his availability to answer any questions I had. He was quick to respond to questions on fb live and emails.
Very good teacher.
He is by far, the best online professor I have encountered. I wish more online professors followed his online teaching style. Very much accessible outside class hours; and always available to help when needed. He truly cares for the success of his students.
Professor Yuan is great at what he does, which is teaching mathematics. I took him over the summer online. Don't let the "online" part make you hesitant on taking math. It was my first time taking a math class online and it went smoothly. As long as you do all your work WEEKLY and give it your best, you'll do fine in this class.
Professor Yuan is a great teacher. He stays in contact with his students, helps you with your math problems and discuss with students whatever they have a problem with. His online class is different compare to other teachers but in a good way.
Professor Yuan offers the proper tools and resources in order to pass his courses. He is very accessible outside of class and wants all of his students to succeed. I have taken a course with him before and I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to take another one with him as my professor.
Professor Yuan gives you everything you need. He goes over everything and he is really helpful. He tries to teach as if we were in a real class even though it is online. He is very interactive with us students and makes sure we get every possible point. As long as you keep up with the assignments you will do well in his class.
Not an easy class, but if you are willing to put in the work the grade reflects that. Provides a lot of online support with tools and podcasts to help you understand the course material.
Really great professor! He is very helpful if you need help. Highly recommend!!
i enjoyed taking this class he does give you quite of bit of work but he explains everything practically gives you the answers he has podcast fb live and he answers any questions you have in a timely matter
I have taken Professor Yuan for 2 classes and I love his teaching style.
I was so nervous about this class online but Professor Yuan was amazing. He is excellent about responding to questions and concerns and makes an effort to really get to know the students and offer encouragement along the way. This is the best experience with an online class that I have ever had. Stay on top of assignments and you will be fine.
Professor yuan is a really good teacher who helps a lot gives you everything you need to pass. Hes very caring if you have a question just email him and he responds pretty fast. He gives out a lot of extra credit by watching a tv show which is very interesting. Hes a great teacher all around
I took Professor Yuan over the summer, on-line, for Math 2 Stats. The class is difficult for sure, the material is tough, but Professor Yuan really goes above and beyond to help you understand the material. He is also one of the most accessible on-line instructors I've ever had. Lots of x-tra credit opportunities. He really wants you to pass!
Professor Yuan is very understanding and provides a lot of feedback within the course as well as outside of the course (live feeds, social media). Make sure to always read all of the announcements. With all the extra support the class became less stressful but keep up because the weeks go FAST.
Great teacher, you can go at your own pace so really helps those like myself with full-time jobs.
It's worth it to take Math 055. Even though it was an online class, it felt like a community because of the Facebook group. Professor Yuan used podcasts and Facebook live sessions to help us solve hard problems and explained them in easy to understand ways. Thanks to him, I now have a new appreciation for math. Highly recommended.
Professor Yuan goes above and beyond to ensure that his students can grasp the material. He established a Facebook group, posts Podcasts, and can be reached at virtually anytime. He is generous with extra credit as well. Don't fall behind and you will do just fine in his class. Would 10/10 take him again.
Took Professor Yuan for Math 55. He was SO helpful with all the assignments/lectures & understood a students reasoning for taking an online class by making it easier on us. Just do the work, listen to his podcasts, read the announcements, & be involved in the discussion/posts. I passed with a B; which is the highest math grade Ive ever received.
Carl Yuan is amazing! I was scared of math and always hated it! Now, I look forward to his course work. He makes it fun and of course math is hard, but some how through the tears of the work, he makes you laugh and have fun! The more you participate, the more you get out of his class!
If you are looking to take Statitcs, or any MATH class,take this professor online. He is fantastic! Be ready to get out of your comfort zone & post assignments on social media, get extra help on FB live weekly, & quizzes can even be corrected for a better grade. Prof. Yuan cares about teaching you and will reply to you swiftly if you need any help!
Professor Yuan is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had. He will work with you on every corner you might get stuck on. As long as you care about learning the material he will make sure you succeed.
Prof Yuan made statistics easy to understand and this is coming from someone who sucks really bad at math. However, if you don't put the work in yourself, don't bother taking his class. It isn't an easy A, you need to work. Then you should do great. I recommend everyone to take Prof Yuan. He's one of the best teachers I've ever had.
Great instructor with great instructions. I have taken both Math 55 and Math 2 stats with this professor and it was challenging yet fun. Highly recommended and just be aware its not a breeze, but challenging.
He is very clear about what he excepts from you. Leanent on deadlines and offers extra credit. Great teacher!
Professor Yuan has a unique teaching style that just clicks with college students. He really cares about his students and gives you plenty of resources for you to understand the material. He also uses different methods so that students with different learning styles will understand the material. I highly recommend Mr. Yuan.
Mr Yuan is by far my favorite teacher! Hes really good at what he does. Makes learning math fun. He was the third math instructor I took and I finally understood math thanks to him! He gives out extra credit and loves to help. Really, theres no reason why anyone could or should fail any of his classes!
Professor Yuan is the first teacher to ever teach math in a way that made sense to me. He goes above and beyond to ensure his students understand the material. Extra credit to help bad test takers. If you participate in his class, he makes it impossible to fail. I plan to take his statistics class next semester. 100% recommend this instructor.
I was nervous about taking the class. However, Mr. Yuan put my mind at ease after the first week. He provides study guides and makes himself available at all hours of the day/night. Great professor and all around good guy.
Hilarious, down to earth, extremely helpful. I took him for math 55 as well and wanted to take him again! Really goes above and beyond for his students.
This was my second attempt with Statistics (different Prof prior) Prof Yuan's teaching method worked better for me this time thanks to his use of social media for his lectures and I was able to go back to listen again to his explanations. He also gives plenty of opportunities to re-submit assignments. HIGHLY recommend him!
Awesome professor! Im not the best at Math but he really tries to break it down for us. He genuinely cares about students feedback and how well theyre understanding the class.
Took him this fall for 9 weeks! Super caring and pushes for extra credit and reminds you to correct your discussions and quizzes for a passing grade. He has a pod cast about his work and how he operates the final term is 450 points and 900 points for have passing grade.
Loved professor Yuan's class. Took in Summer of 2019 and was terrified bc I am not good at math at all. He goes above & beyond for his students. The podcasts and FB lives help immensely and he is always there to answer a question. He is not looking for perfection but effort and proof that you put time in the assignments. Redos available till end.
He is a Great professor
Professor Yuan is an amazing math teacher. He offers so many study resources to help you learn the material, offers many extra credit opportunities, and offers the chance to make up work you didn't do well on. If you hate math and want to actually learn it and enjoy it, take Prof. Yuan. This man made me actually enjoy statistics.
In this class you have to put in the time but Professor Yuan is amazing and goes beyond to make sure his students understand. If you are willing to put in the effort and use all the tools he gives you will pass. I was terrified of this class but he made it easier to understand. Definitely an amazing professor to have!
He a good professor and very smart.
Professor Yuan is what all professors should strive to be like! He is there for you, he cares that you learn. He cares that you achieve your goals in ALL areas of life. If you reach out to him that youre having an issue he takes time to help. It is IMPOSSIBLE to fail this course.
Doesn't give a lot of work. He is okay with late work as long as you're not behind by 2 weeks. For Discussion Boards, you have to choose a problem from your homework and provide step-by-step explanation of how to solve it. You also don't turn in your homework. He does have a lecture on facebook where you can ask questions (it is optional)x
Mr. Yuan was a great professor! I had so much anxiety about having to take a math class, but he provides so many learning tools he makes it really hard to fail his class! I wish all professors were like him!
I struggle in math but Mr. Yuan made his class fair enough for everyone to pass with an A. He is very nice and willing to help! Its all on you if you want to pass and learn. Easiest math teacher! As long as you try and put in the effort you will not fail! Highly recommend!
I took this class over the summer and although it is a fast-paced class and a tough subject, the class was an easy A! Professor Yuan gives clear explanations, gives outside resources for this class, and has a flexible late work and correction policy. He cares a lot for his students and I would recommend taking this class with this professor!
He asks you to utilize your social media for hmwrk. Create a meme for math a science project board for hmwrk You cant see what your classmates post until you post (like what if you didn't understand the instructions that would help put you on the right path for clarity He doesn't allow you to see what the correct answers are on your test or quiz.
Not a very good professor. Tries numerous ways but is very boring. Content can be self-taught, would take your knowledge elsewhere.
Professor Yuan is an exceptional teacher. Math was never my strength but he made the material approachable. I grew in confidence during the semester because of his teacher.
I was terrified about taking this course. Professor Yuan makes sure you're set up to succeed in his class and eased my fears. He uses many platforms to help his students, is readily available to help if you are struggling and gave opportunities for extra credit. My grade does not reflect his ability to teach, but is from my poor time management.
This professor was honest about what is required to pass his class. He provided lectures, study guides, and live videos to help students. I used his notes during my Master's program. I have recommended Professor Yaun to other students that failed/dropped the class with other professors. Put in the time and effort and will have a great outcome.
Professor Yuan is a phenomenal educator and goes out of his way to be accessible to his students for any questions, or class related support. He is fair and has clear expectations and grading. Highly recommend this caring and knowledgeable educator!
I wish I could add more tags to this. Professor Yuan is fantastic. His grading criteria is clear, he is super accessible to students and is an amazing mentor. He is understanding and effective in communicating his expectations. He makes a hard math class easy to pass. You have to put in the work, but he is there to guide you at all times.
Professor Yuan was my professor for my online psychological statistics course. I was very nervous to take this class as I am not good with math, but Professor Yuan was truly amazing. He offered us so many resources and even offered live tutoring sessions for us via virtual chat rooms. He provided so much support and was very patient and helpful.
Professor Yuan is hands down my favorite professor. He is very transparent and honest with grading methods and his expectations. Professor Yuan takes the time to make himself accessible to help students that want his help. You will do the work if you want to learn (and pass), but he is with his students - guiding them through.
He made statistics understandable. He always made himself available if I had difficulty in understanding an assignment. He also gives weekly live lessons. He is by far the best professor I have had. I would definitely choose him if his name were under a course I needed.
Professor Yuan is AMAZING! He is very clear on how he grades and offers a virtual class via Facebook once a week to teach you the assignments. He is available to help anytime you need. I pushed this class off until I had him for my teacher as he was highly recommended from my peers and I was not disappointed! Just amazing at his job and I learned!
Prof. Yuan provides NUMEROUS opportunities to earn points and NUMEROUS opportunities to learn the information. Barstow should give him a raise. He is very good at what he does. Take Prof. Yuan. It is not an easy A. You need to do a lot of work. The final is super difficult; however, he does a great job of teaching the information.I highly recommend
Very, very good professor. Not an easy A. So if you you are thinking that, find someone else. He does a wonderful job of teaching the information which can be a foreign language to some (like me). Somehow, someway he made the class that I was afraid to take, enjoyable. Barstow is lucky to have him.
He allows you to turn all of your homework late. But I recommend you try to finish because there are a lot of new things to learn each week. He explains everything so well and gives plenty of resources to make things easier. I hate math and I can say I learned so much and actually looked forward to his class. Weird, but true.
Professor Yuan is by far the best teacher I've ever had. He offers different ways of learning, he goes above and beyond to make sure his students are learning. He offers extra credit. Amazing teacher.
Great professor. Gives lots of resources to help you understand the material. Late work is accepted but I would not get too far behind because the work takes effort and time to complete. There is a poster and video presentation for some assignments. Not something I was used to for math but it was a nice change. If you do the work you will do fine.
This isn't an easy class but as long as you're participating, putting in the work & making sure you're not falling behind or asking Q's you should pass! I am not good at math but Professor Yuan actually teaches & will give you feedback when you're wrong. I'd take him again if our paths cross in the future. I commend a teacher who actually teaches.
I was absolutely terrified to take a math class as it's not my strongest subject. Professor Yuan is hands down one of the best teachers I've ever had. He gives you so many opportunities to learn the material. He wants all his students to succeed and understand math. I'm looking forward to taking another of his math classes next semester.
Math is an intimidating subject but Professor Yuan is the absolute best. He really is there for his students and you will get what you put into his class. His lectures and extra support are amazing. Take advantage of it!! Best math teacher this college has!
