Worst Professor ever. He doesn't make any sense. Give the hardest test and does curve the the test at all. I feel like i am teaching everything to by myself. He doesn't care at all about his students. No time for his student. I wouldn't recommend take someone else but don't take him!

Yang is absolutely the worst prof I've had in college. He is utterly incomprehensible, and frequently skips important information in the lecture, or leaves practice problems unfinished, with the assumption that we already know the concepts he never taught us.

He didn't put any effort into teaching the class at all. He went over slides that he got from the textbook, skipped important ones, and basically provided a less-concise overview of the textbook. His class taught me to really resent doing chemistry and not much else.

This man is a terrible teacher, he frequently failed to post review sheets etc. that he said he would. He would consistently fail to inform us of due dates which were inconsistent with our syllabus. A student asked him an important question to which he replied "you figure it out"

Dr. Yang is absolutely the worst teacher I've ever had. I consistently get A's on the homework and online quizzes because I have to teach myself at home, and then I fail all the exams because he either promises to give a practice exam and then changes his mind or he tells us to "read the book" and then tests us over things that he never went over.

out of all the proffesors in college that i have had he is by far the worst, his method of teaching is horrible and he is not clear in his lectures and he flys through his slides and never clarifies students question his response to everything is "read the book folks its self explanatory" i would not recommend this professor to anyone!

This is the worst instructor i have ever had in all of my academic life! he twitches during lecture, he also asks if its true or correct after every sentence. He doesn't explain material fully, advises students to take notes on power point presentations that are provided, he is also very rude and impatient, thinks students should know material.

Worst teacher I have ever had. I basically am teaching the material to myself. His lectures are not clear when he explains the material and he expects us to know the material before we even discuss it. My recommendation? Take this class with someone else.

Do not take this course with this teacher. It was my worst decision ever. He made me dislike this field. I used to love chemistry until now. His lectures are the worst. An online version is much better than taking this class with him. Find another instructor if you could.

This course is not difficult if you take the time to study the material. However, Shaorong did not make the course any easier. He is rude. He works on problems directly from the book which the book clearly explains what to do. In fact, I would have never attended if it weren't for clicker points. I did receive an A but not with his guidance.

Prior to this class, I was stoked about chemistry! I love to learn and, in Gen. Chem. 1, I learned so much and built a ton of confidence. However, this all changed this semester because of Yang. Although he is a teacher, he seldom actually teaches in class; instead, we go over clicker questions. You cannot teach yourself chemistry from at textbook!

Don't take his general chemistry class , his way of teaching is very confusing. His lecture is super fast , and even thought he is not finish the lecture , the material is still on the exam. lastly he is very late on answering email.

Professor Yang teaches concepts that seem extremely easy, but once it comes to the exam, he introduces something that you've never seen before. I have studied over 45 hours for an exam and still received 77. Mainly because he's a hard grader and he doesn't teach very well... at all.

Worst professor. Derogatory to students. Not helpful when questions are asked. Extremely ambiguous when telling you what will be on tests. Tests are tough. Does not like to be asked questions. Only reason to go to class is for clicker score. You'll learn most by simply reading. His lectures are on a projector on a scribble pad and they're confusing

Sharong is a horrible instructor. When you ask for help he says "It's pretty clear" and he does not answer questions. He is rude and disrespectful. I would never take a class from this instructor again.

Ive never hated a professor quite like him!! Yang is extremely rude and unwilling to help. You cant read his lecture notes and he says that everything is "easy, common sense, ok moving on". The chemistry department made a horrible mistake letting him become a professor!

Such a difficult professor to understand, and he moves along so quickly between examples.

Worst professor I've had in all years of college. His tests are Very tough, get ready to study 10+ hours a week. I learned all the material from the textbook as his lectures are very disorganized. His lectures consist of scribbling incoherently on paper. Tells students "Why are you asking this?" or "You need to read the textbook". Won't return emai

I highly recommend taking Gen Chem with another professor. Yang can be very rude in class when answering questions. He takes Gen Chem and make its twice as hard as it should be. I'm a straight A student, never failed a test, and I bombed his first test. I had to put in 3-4 times more studying than friends taking chemistry with other prof. at UNM.

Chem 2 with Shaorong was one of the least enjoyable experiences of my life. He is rude & unhelpful--mocking students when they come to him for help. His tests are challenging and in my experience he failed to give out the proper scantrons for a test to some students and after realizing this, he passed out new ones but didn't allow them extra time.

If you hate yourself, take his class.

One of the worst classes I've taken at UNM. It was over the summer so we went over the material twice as fast. He did not explain well, or even go through a full example. He knows the material but does not know how to relay it to students at all. If you don't read the textbook word for word don't expect to pass.

This was the first class at UNM that I barely passed. Even with attending class every day, getting 100% on ALEKS, he was impossible to understand and follow in lecture. He made the material much harder than it needed to be, gave horrible practice problems and never explained them. Overall he has a lot of enthusiasm with poor application.

If you can take a chemistry class with any other teacher I would suggest it. He knows what he's talking about but doesn't know how to teach it. If you don't read the book and get outside help you won't do well on the tests. The ALEKS that you do is 3x more than you would do an any other class. Take another teacher!!

Professor Yang is one of the worst chemistry teachers Ive ever had. His notes are unintelligible, he goes through material way too fast, is very unclear about his expectations for students and makes it impossible for students to keep up with him. He expects students to turn in assignments WEEKS before they've studied the material! Dont take him!!!!

The entire class is self-taught. In lectures he only reviews the packet of homework. He never teaches the concepts and whatever he puts up on the board, you can't understand because his handwriting is terrible. Whatever he speaks, you can't understand because of his accent and enthusiasm. If GPA is important to you, don't take his class.

One of the absolute worst professors I have had. I would not suggest taking this class. You will have to work EXTREMELY hard to get a good grade. If you have a job or a family you will work hard to pass. His accent is extremely hard to understand and his past exams/review are nothing like the actual exams.

Worst instructor I've ever had. Very hard to understand. Teaches subject wrong then goes back and says "sorry that's wrong forget that". During problems he'll say "I'm to lazy to finish, you should know how to do this". His reviews don't go over anything that will be in the tests. Aleks homework goes over stuff you never use in class. Waste of time

Yang is the worst professor at UNM. I stopped going to his lecture and went to another professors instead just because of how terrible of a teacher he is. His accent is incredibly hard to understand and he never actually explains how to do any of the problems. Avoid his class at all costs.

Very enthusiastic about the subject but the more excited he gets the less you can understand. He is a perfect example of a genius in the subject but unable to teach anything about it coherently. Assigns more hw and it's due sooner than the other chem121 classes. If you already know everything about the subject then this is the professor you want.

His way of teaching isn't very conducive to learning. You're basically going to have to teach yourself this class.

Worst professor I've had. He spends lots of time of the introductory concepts but glances over harder concepts. Many questions students asked he either didn't answer or answered it differently from what was asked. Lectures and demonstrations were lackluster since you couldn't even tell what he was doing half the time.

Difficult to understand in lecture. Told my class that he expected us to self-teach chemistry and the class should just be a review. Don't take him, other students with different professors had a much easier time.

While he is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, he is NOT good at teaching material. He grades on assignments which cover topics that have not even been covered in class. I attend all classes and complete all assignments. and I still leave feeling like I don't quite understand the material. Also don't bother sending emails as he doesn't respond.

If you have ANY kind of struggles with Chemistry, dont take this Professor. Although he knows what hes talking about, no one else really does. He just doesnt explain things very well, he seems to be behind on some topics, and you just spend the whole class doing homework problems that arent very helpful and are only worth 5% of your grade.

If you need to take Chemistry do not take Shaorong Yang he knows his stuff, but he is very difficult to understand, he is rude, if you have a clear understanding about chemistry you are fine.

Probably the worst class I have taken at UNM. Does not teach well at all. Get ready to study at home by yourself and teach yourself a lot and simpler ways.

Do not take his course. You cannot understand him and he doesn't cover material well. He reviewed for the final for less than 30 minutes and most of it was useless information. His exams are ridiculous and some concepts on there we never covered in class.

I read an earlier post that said If you hate yourself take this class! Well, I guess I super hate myself because my summer is ruined and there seems to be not enough time in the days to do the HW and study for his impossible exams. Very uncaring and rude to students. Have a question? Dont even bother, unless you like being treated like nothing.

This was by far the worst class I have ever taken. Crippling despair is what I have after taking this class. There are no words to describe how insane Dr. Yang is,while being rude/uncaring to his students. His exams are extremely difficult,because he randomly gives pages on specific things taught in 301,but no indication that it will be on the exam

He is a very enthusiastic professor, but the only reason I learned anything in this course was because of ALEKS. He hardly went along with the textbook, plus the homework packets and reading quizzes were often frustrating. Lecture was always interesting, as he is very knowledgeable in chemistry but his explanations would often go over our heads.

he expects you to know more than the foundational knowledge of Chemistry even though it is a foundation course. His notes never correlate to the tests and although he is very knowledgeable in his field, he lacks the ability to teach. I do not recommend this course to freshman who want to build a strong foundation in Chem. his accent is THICCCCCCCCC

This specific teacher did not care for students, was mean during lecture and I really benefited from going to CAPS more than attending the class.

Very Hard to understand and his exams never correlate with things in the reviews, and sometimes include topics that have never been mentioned. Never has the right answers on exams and therefore stops them to change them up on the board. doesn't work with students when it comes to compensation for his mistakes. He even gave out the wrong exam once!

Yang is a funny dude but his lectures are very difficult to follow. 90% of the the things I learned came from aleks and the topics given do not entirely correlate to the exams. If you're taking this class be warned: don't wait till the last minute to do your homework unless you like spending 10 hrs+ of your weekend staring at your computer.
