Ms. Yang was a good teacher she really tries to help her students out if they need any help. She teaches excatly what is going to be on the test. She gives quizes every week but you know whats going to be on then. On test she gives you a review and that is were she gets her test questions from. Good teacher hard subject.

This teacher only vomits data and could care less if you get it or not. In order to pass her class, you must attend each class, do all the homework, occasional quizes and daily classwork. This teacher overall teaches what you need to know, but if you fall behind, that's your problem. Overall, she needs to find a different job she actually likes.

I had Ms. Yang for Math 9, 10 and 11. She was nicer in math 9 than 11. She does have favorites. Fortunately I was of one but I felt sorry for the ones that weren't because they weren't able to get the help they deserved. She is nice but all homework is due tons of homework! Quizes when ever she feels like it. Isn't alway there for you.

I would not recommend her. Some lectures leave you confused when you do homework because she can skip steps without notice. She quizzes at random. In addition, on quizzes and exams, she marks off for doing more work than necessary, even though steps are in lectures, and also where there's the right work, but not the right answer, and get a zero.

I had her for college algebra. Not recomended by any means because she talks too fast and has a tendency to skip steps/miscalculate.

If your hard working enough to do the homework (for understanding) then you will do fine on the tests.

She assigns homework that is in addition to what is in the book and gives a review for each exam.

Wouldn't take again

I'm a freshman and never in my life had a teacher like this before. Professor Yang would give WAY LOTS of homework and quizzes. She does teaches in a hurry and would makes us solve the problem and put in the answer in the chat box with not that much time to do. If you don't answer, she takes out points. Plus, she switches the units very fast.

Stay far away from this teacher. She clearly is unhappy in her life and hopes to spread her unhappiness to everyone around. Im an A B student. i have never been treated so poorly by a teacher. If you ask questions she tells you to figure it out yourself or watcha video. condescending enjoys humiliating students. should not be allowed to teach

As a first-gen undocumented student at OC, Professor Yang is by far the most incredible statistics instructor =) With each lecture she gave, she was incredibly enthusiastic and informative.This class is not intended to be easy! Let this review reflect on hard work & commitment the class demands. You will not pass this class without professor Yang.

Love Yang! she can be a little intimidating but as long as you do your work or even try to she will always help. No EC but the final only comes from the past exams you've done. She is very caring and really wants to help students if you just ask her. She will go over whatever you need. Many quizzes but all based on homework. Very good lectures. YES

I have a way different opinion than most. Professor Yang is awesome. It's "Statistics", in general it is an insanely hard class. But if you are struggling, Professor Yang will go out of her way to help, but you have to ask, she can't read minds. It's also called "College", it's not meant to be easy. If it were easy, everyone would go to college.

Yang is not for the weak. If you are not ready to take school seriously, don't take her class or go to an expensive 4-year uni b/c she prepares you for exactly that. Remember, this is a Math class; if you don't do homework, how will you practice what you have learned to be ready for the exam?

she's gives out a lot of homework very easy to fall behind if you have other classes it's a ridiculous amount!! She has a idc personality. No make up for test or quizzes any late homework is only with half no matter how good. She lacks teaching skills very hard to understand she doesn't explain anything well.

Literally the worst math class i've ever taken. She goes way too fast doesn't stop, expects you to know and learn the concepts quickly. Lectures are very disorganized basically her just rambling for 2 hours straight and assigns wayy too much hw!! SAVE YOURSELF AND DONT TAKE HER CLASS!!

Had great lectures and we were never quizzed/tested on something that was not taught. Always willing to answer questions on any assignment, though she never gave direct answers which can be irritating. Quizzes are similar to homework questions and exams are similar to quiz questions. Complete all assignments and ask questions to be successful!

I could see the class/professor not being a great fit for some but for me I was able to do well in the class and it could be due to the fact that math is my strong suit. She is very fast pace so during lectures you have to make sure you are paying close attention and taking great notes. All late work will be half credit so turn in work on time.

You should not take this class if you are not willing to do the work. While there is a lot of homework, there was plenty of time given to complete it, if you wait until last minute you will get overwhelmed. There is a 1 question quiz given every week. 4-5 exams. She drops 6 quizzes and one exam will match your final exam grade assuming you do well

The amount of homework she assigns is simply ridiculous. Lectures are quite difficult to follow, especially since she doesn't even explain the topics thoroughly, and it's very easy to fall behind. Her grading system is designed for you to fail. She knows math really well, it's a shame she doesn't know how to teach.
