This was a professor that taught everything that needed to be known, and would not pull any tricks or something that would cause the student to fail. This was a great professor and I would recommend to anyone who wants to pass on their first try.
Good professor and he is really helpful.
Provided lectures with examples to refer back to during homework assignments. Gets back to students quickly.
Very easy class. Had him for Calc 2, much easier than Calc 1 at other college. Highly suggest him. Wish I could take more classes from him.
He provided video lectures for each chapter as well as chapter notes. he was very quick with emaand made calculus 2 way easier to learn.
The class was very straightforward and the professor was attentive and responsive.
Mr Yu is a great lecturer and explain well.
The lectures were easy to follow and he provides a lot of opportunities for extra credit. The lectures and homework are exactly what's on the tests. Great course and professor.
He is a good guy that will always provide extra credit and give you help when needed.
Very easy going class, as long as you do the work and pay attention to the notes, you'll be good, very easy to reach out to and was willing to answer any questions. 👍👍
Professor gave us plenty of material to learn the modules fully. I like that he posted videos of him explaining the work and on top of that posted youtube videos doing the same thing and textbook material that covered the material in deep.
he's awesome
Differential equations requires a lot of practice and Dr. Yu makes the course content bearable by starting off with simple equations and then slowly get you to work the harder equations later. And no matter what, he always ends the lecture with "if you need help, let me know" which makes me feel that he's always there for us.
very good professor, gives the lecture at a good pace and covers material well, allows assignments with extra credit and is understanding with students, gives reviews for assessments and exams.
This professor is hands on if you don't understand something about the lesson, he looks at your work and helps you figure it out in way you can understand.
This professor is hands on he is willing to look over you work and help you understand something you are struggling with.
Great professor and very helpful! Explains topics at a good pace and in a way that is easy to follow/ understand.
While this was an online course, my instructor was always fats to respond to emails and answer any questions I had. There were not an overload of assignments or tests either. I enjoyed taking this math course over almost all my others, the work was easy yet still challenging. You honestly couldn't fail unless you just didn't do any work.
Best teacher out there! very good guy who will actually help you when you need it and loves his job!
the professor was very helpful and easy to get ahold of if i didnt understand something. he understands that sometimes life gets in the way but will allow you to turn in late work for a little deduction. i feel like he works to make sure we understand the lessons he teaches.
Professor Shi Yu is a great teacher. He has been continuously open to help wherever he can. There hasn't been a class where I left with questions unanswered. He has is all very timely in replying to emails and messages. This was my first math class after 7 years without school and he was the perfect teacher for my comeback. 10/10!
He is a great teacher, easy to understand, and easy to pass his class.
I have taken a lot of math classes and his class was my last one before I graduated and one of the first ones in person. I found his class and teaching very good. When I took his class he taught everything I knew how to do in a much easier way to understand. He also took the time to look over and help answer any questions I had on problems.
Professor Shi Yu is one of the great ones! My entire math experience growing up was very negative, and I swore Math was one of my worst subjects. Professor Yu helped me gain confidence and UNDERSTAND math for the first time ever! He truly cares for his students and will meet your effort when you put in the time!
He's so kind and great.
I enjoyed learning from this professor because he efficiently set up the learning materials, which were easy to understand and comprehend. I enjoyed taking notes from the PowerPoint he created each week and understood the assignments. He grades the materials promptly, sends each of us emails about our progress in class, and gives feedback.
He is a really good Professor online and in person! He gives good feed back and lets you know when he wants you to do something or if your missing anything grade wise.
Professor Si Yu was my first math teacher, I have been out of school for the last 7 years and he made this course easy! He gives extra credit and always helps students individually during class without taking away from the lesson. He is always open to help and is speedy when replying to emails. I enjoyed the course!
Great professor
Overall great experience in this professor's class. Extra credit was offered if you attended class every day.
This guy is very awesome! Tons of extra credit and very good at helping
Awesome teaching
All around just an amazing professor. I was definitely able to grasp the concept easier with the course learning structure, and I especially liked being able to learn at my own pace with the homework on blackboard.
He is a great teacher
well informed
My professor was very easy going and very helpful no matter how many questions I had and he is a very good and smart math teacher!
Excellente professor. Very comunicative
He was a great professor.
He is very easygoing. Just do the assignments and you'll pass
This teacher was amazing even through an online course she would email me with great feedback I would take this class again due to the outstanding teacher.
This class was easy to understand and keep up with!
A very intellectual man who knows how to get the point across and explain it in a way you will remember.
He is very lenient on grading and late work. There was only one assignment we had to print out, but everything else is through a launcher. Just do your work before the day it is due, and you will get massive extra credit. I had a 112% in the class for a long time because I was turning work in like 4 days in advance. Until spring hit haha.
The professor is very kind and always helps us during class, which makes it really enjoyable for me.
Professor Shi Yu is a great professor to have. He'll help you have a better understanding of pre algebra and does a great job on understanding the student's. Plenty of room for extra credit and would recommend to anyone.
He was a nice teacher that provided us work to study with and really wanted us to pass
Great Professor.
Great class with a great instructor would reply to emails quick and give response I would also like to add that the instructor would make an effort to communicate 1on1 with students even though the class was online.
Thank you for helping my understanding of Calculus!!
I feel like this class was very comprehensive and easy to follow, even if you have shaky math skills coming in the professor will help you or give you other resources to help you understand the material. As someone who struggled in math in high school, I have done very well in this class.
He was a really good professor. He communicated as best as he could with us and his content flowed nicely despite how little time we had to do the work. Not only that but he said hi to me during Odessa College Graduation. Overall, a goated professor.
Took the class in the Summer term. Was very flexable with due dates due to my full-time Internship. Lectures were easy to follow. Just keep up with assignments and exams and you'll do fine.
I failed two classes the first time with an F, but I made an A when taking them with him. I learned so much.
Great Professor, I have been in two of his math classes and would take another.
Great Teacher
I had a hard time passing Calculus 2 but taking online with Prof. Shi Yu has helped me get onto my next step. The course allows you to make it right with plenty of chances. You can pass with plenty of examples and allowances for corrections.
Easy class, do your homework and to the work and you will succeed !
Easy and very understanding and I like how he always gave extra credit compared to other teachers at OC
He's great.
This class has been a valuable learning experience for me.
This is my first time with this professor online, prior I took a in person call with his. I really enjoy the way he teaches and he will always go out of his way to help you understand the material.
I would recommend Him any day and any time.
Great instructor!
He is a good professor and would recommend taking his class. Communicates with students well.
Had him for Calc II, perfect teacher.
Mr. Yu allows for this course to be challenging but awards those that can get the classwork done in a timely manner. His lessons are direct and to the point. He is Very Organized. I love that the lesson plans are always available on time. He also grades lessons very quickly, even late at night and on weekends. This class was awesome! Thanks Shi Yu!
i enjoyed the class
Had professor Yu for calculus and differential equations which are both challenging. His lecture videos were spot on for the materials covered and for homework. Extremely straight forward. Plenty of extra credit opportunities especially completing assignments on time or before due date. Highly recommend taking professor Yu for your math courses.
The professor is very understanding and hardly takes late points.
Was very informative and knew lots on the topics at hand.
Very easy to learn from. Helps out a lot if you don't understand.
Very good teaching style and good clearly lectures
I liked how he would go over similar questions that we had gotten on the assignments and it would clearly explain step by step.
Professor Yu is an incredible math instructor. He thoroughly explains the concepts regarding the topics. He gives good feedback and is willing to help students out.
Pay attention and you'll be just fine.
He teaches calculus well and helps us when we're confused
He is very nice, and makes sure you understand the concepts! Would love for him to teach me again!
He was very helpful and very attentive to everyone. Overall a great professor.
Mr. Yu is an outstanding professor with a deep passion for teaching. His Pre-Calculus course helped me succeed despite early doubts. At 48, I felt out of place among younger students, but his support and clear teaching gave me confidence. I'm grateful and hope to take another class with him.
A patient teacher. Always willing to help students both in and out of class. 10/10 would take his class again.
Professor Yu is an impeccable professor, he is always willing to help students and he gives extra credit often. 10/10 I would take his class again.
He made a class that I expected to be very difficult way easier. What I liked most is that during lectures he gives examples for every type of problem that you'll see for a formula, so you never see a problem on an assignment you haven't heard of.
Professor Shi Yu is a great professor.
Professor Yu, was very understanding and caring. He made sure that each of his students were given the opportunity to succeed in his class. Professor Yu also made sure to praise all of the hard work that the students were putting in. Colleges and Universities need more compassionate professors such as professor Yu.
I enjoyed the course compared to other math classes for sure.
He was quick to respond when I had questions. He put grades in a timely manner.
He is very encouraging and always gives a heads up of when an assignment is due. He even does lectures even though he gives us notes. He does a very good job of explaining problems and examples for online lectures. 10/10 professor!
This prof is super awesome to take any math class with. He's very easy to work with and will do everything he can to make sure you succeed. Just talk to him.
hes a great teacher if youre having trouble with he will do anything to help you.
Gets your those hard hurdles
I took professor Yu's online pre-calculus course and felt it was easy to follow along with. He is very kind and easy to contact. He allows assignments to be submitted late without point reduction which is great for students who have busy schedules. I recommend him, very compassionate. I wish I could've taken his course in person!
Shi Yu is a wonderful professor & always gives extra credit as long you are trying & turn in your assignment on time.
If he offers extra credit, take it and do it. Take notes based on his pre-recorded videos and the notes he adds to the week, as it will help you immensely when you have to take your final and have notes to look back on.
This class is hard in general but I understood everything pretty easy when he explained it all you gotta do is put the work in yourself to really understand it and make sure if a test is put in front of you to be able to conquer it.
