Screwed sense of humour,but still funny (if it is not you).Does his best to help

good teacher, hard tests.

He is a good teacher, BUT!!! he yelled at me in the class!

Joseph is a math genius, and really cares about students if they study. If he knows you don't study, he treats you like you're an idiot(fair enough). He makes the test sound impossible so you overprepare, but then makes the test writeable.

So patient. Answered our stupid questions over and over and over.

He knows his stuff and expects you to learn the material. He is disorganized and his notes are sometimes fractured, but you're not in high school anymore and whether or not you realize it, he realizes it!

Do all of your homework and you will do fine in his class. He is always willing to answer any questions you have, and very patient. He didn't seem very approachable at first, but he really is very helpful! The only problem might be the language barrier...

DO YOUR HOMEWORK. If you don't, you will fail GAURANTEED. There's a lot of material to cover, so the course moves VERY quickly. You have to stay on top of the homework if you want to do well. Poor english is a barrier. If you give him attitude, he'll make fun of you. Humility goes a long way.

I think he is a good teacher, but it takes a little bit of time to get use to his way of teaching.

I took precalc with Joseph back in the day (maybe 1998).I still remember this guy fondly-yes, I remember the accent was tough but he really was a math whiz. If he mocks you, he either really liked you or thought you were an idiot, which kept you guessing.Headed into my doctorate now and I occasionally find myself saying "is that right?"2my classes

I failed Joseph's class, but it was my fault. He even approached me, told me to do my homework, and that I could pass. Anyone that doesn't like Joseph doesn't like working for their grades. Joseph's rating here only the opinion of people that hate math, suck at it, and want to coast through math. "You don't know that! You gonna fail! I promise."

Joseph was really awesome in class, he gives lots of examples, and really lets you know what to expect. anyone who complains about him is lazy, he is a remarkably good instructor, and very helpful during office hours. I tried to get him for 112 but no such luck! Take his class if you can

He is a great teacher. He knows how to teach and what he teaches is what he asks on his tests. i wish i could take him for math112, but i heard that he is leaving UCFV.

A tad difficult to understand at times, but gives tons of examples in class that will prepare you for ALL web homework, hand-in homework, and exams. Math is something that some people have to work at every day, so don't take a lazy student's word for it; it's not Joseph's fault that they do poorly.

He was a great teacher. Was very funny and made class interesting. If your good at math take this class because its relatively easy and he makes fun of dumb students (who are not you)

Great :)

Excellent no surprises on test, if you study you will get an B or higher guaranteed

is very clear in what he expects. he gets a bad rep but if you do the homework then you should do fine. His quizzes and tests are based on the homework he assigns

Nice guy, no tricks, clear in what he expects of you and will help you if you ask. Do the web assign and look over your notes after class and you should be able to get a good grade.Everything is super reasonable, don't skip classes!

I remember having joseph for math 111, was really straight forward with what he expected you to know. Tests were really fair, so if you studied well you would have a good opportunity to do to get an A. I finished with an A- and I came out of highschool math 12 with a C+. So Joseph is definitely worth the time and money.

I loved his style of teaching, no handouts, all his notes are done on the white board and he gave plenty of examples to questions which were similar to those on exams. What more do you want. He gets the material across clearly, and as a result if you study you'll do well for sure. Also no surprises on tests. Plus his accent is easily understandable

I found this class good,he does plenty of examples which prepares you well, and of course you have to practice a lot on your own. I was able to get an A. His exam questions were not too hard, but pretty decent.

Had him a long time ago for math 112. He's a good overall professor. I'd rate him 4/5. I liked math 112 better than 111.

Good teaching style, fair tests and good examples in class. I have heard grumblings about his accent being hard to understand for some people so if you find linguistics a challenge from that aspect another prof may be a better choice. On the flip side he is always willing to help and very prompt when responding to emails.. Would recommend

Very good at teaching the material - goes over a ton of practice problems in class, and the homework programs is thorough and reasonable. Midterms and final are very straightforward - I guarantee if you do all the homework, you can get an A. Also, he is a fair marker - gives part marks even if the answer is wrong.

Joseph is really nice. The only problem with him could be the accent. Everything else is perfect. Had him and got A+ this semester.

Super straight forward prof. You show up to every class (EVERY CALL people, don't skip even one day- it's so hard to catch up in math), do all the questions, and keep up... and you'll do well :) If you ask for help he'll help you until you get the concept... but you have to ask!!

if you're looking for a straightforward teacher he's the one. his entire curriculum is example based which is the best way to learn in my opinion. his homework is exactly like his tests so there will never be any surprises. he's also vary clear in his explanations. definitely a good teacher to take for math.

Despite the subject (business calculus) I thought Joseph was a great prof. Weekly tests, but his exams are based on these tests. Some times went a little fast during his lectures but if you asked he would slow down and was happy to explain questions. Overall i would take him again.

If you want an easy class, don't take calculus. Joseph is a great prof. Patient and helpful. Quizzes every week, but they're based off the homework. His accent is easy to understand, his examples are helpful. Show up to class and work hard, that's all there is to it. Find an older edition textbook online (free). We didn't use the assigned one.

He is so willing and happy to help. He's explained the same problem to me multiple times because I wasn't getting it. This class is really hard, but that's not his fault. If you don't want to work, don't take calculus. Quizzes and tests are based off homework, so study it and you'll be fine.

Good teacher, I found him very clear and he really tried to help his students get a good grade. I never expected to get a high A in Calculus. Show up for class, do the online work, study the quizzes he gives you and the class is a breeze

Joseph is a great prof. he teaches a tough course so a lot of the criticisms of him are about his course and not him as a teacher. Joseph is a really nice guy, very patient, and certainly knows what he's doing. he demands respect at all times so if you come to class on time and don't leave in the middle he will be your friend. good prof

BEST FIRST YEAR PROF EVER! SOOO UNDERSTANDING AND AMAZING! I LOVE HIM

He was the best prof ever, nice feedback, easy exam, easy quiz, nice explaination

Pretty good prof in general. Make sure you do the web assignments he gives. His tests aren't too crazy hard but he covers the material gone over in class pretty thoroughly, so make sure you know everything before you go into the test. Nothing gives you will surprise you if you'd make sure you understand and do your homework

I found Joseph's approach very practical. Be prepared to go over plenty of examples in class, starting with the basics and evolving into more advanced applications. Joseph is always available by email, and has office hours and Math Centre hours available - use them! If you keep up with homework and proactively ask questions, you'll earn the A.

Excellent professor. Moves at a good pace.

Joseph is a math prof for math students. If you have a solid foundation you won't have any trouble, but if your math skills are rusty prepare for a lot of hard work. He moves fast and is not always the best at communicating concepts clearly. Sit up front, as his whiteboard notes can be hard to read. His tests are tough, but he's a generous marker.

I liked how well organized his class was, we were never in a rush to learn. His system of constantly reviewing old material at the beginning of the class was very helpful. Quizzes were once a week and were marked and reviewed in depth the next class, which also made a big difference. He has a slight accent but his english is fine and I had no issue

He is very responsible and gives detailed feedback. His explanation is very easy to understand. Would like to take his class again.

Best math teacher ever ^^

If you think he is bad, you have not met the rest pf the math department at UFV. Very easy, provides clear examples that are all on the midterms and finals. As long as you understand the examples in class and webwork you're guaranteed an A. Most people on here have not yet had an actual bad professor. Gives part marks and makes stuff as easy

Joseph is a phenominal prof. He is probably one of the better math profs in the school as his quizzes are 10x easier than the online homework and in class assignments that he gives you. He prepares you really well for any of his exams. Just like any math class, make sure to do your homework and in class assignments and it will be an easy A.

Prof. Yu is the greatest professor that you could wish for at a university. He offers great advice and provides everything you will need to excel in mathematics. He was a little intimidating in the beginning, but as the course got moving we fell into a well planned rhythm as we learned the theory and applied it with practicals and examples.

He is a okayish professor, sometimes is very rude in emails . Tho he really like to help. He is sometimes very fast and just skims through his notes. The examples he did in class were really good and tests and assignments were easy. He is also a good graders and understands students problems

Great Professor. Amazing way of teaching

Professor Yu is great teacher who cares about his students. He truly understands his students problems and tries to solve them. However he does not have much patience for those who do not want give an effort. He gives alot of homework online, which is much more difficult to what he puts on quizzes/tests. Exams cover exactly what he teaches.

Dr. Joseph Yu assigns homework twice a week that keeps you on your toes and forces you too engage. Although sometimes challenging to understand his handwriting along side the fast pace content, Joseph is always opens to questions and will continuously ask the class to stop if him anything is unclear. I highly recommend to take Dr. Joseph Yu.

Refreshing and pretty methodical teaching. Joseph is sometimes hard to understand, but if you review the notes/follow along questions in class, you'll be fine. Class was lecture then quiz on last weeks lecture. HW 30m-1h Would do review on topics based on what students got wrong on quizzes. You get out of this class what you put into this class.

Very easy grader, just try to keep up with weekly lectures and quizies. Midterms are very similar to quizzes and assignments. Sometimes there are repeated questions.

Better than other professions at ufv
