So dont be scared by ppls saying that 5b is the hardest math course in math series from 5A to 55. I don't think it is true because if you have solid foundation from 5A, you should do fine in 5b. Just work harder than in 5A bcos 5b needs lots of practice. Plus Dr.Chang makes possible to learn and succeed in math 5b. She is one of a kind professor :)

Very disorganized, to the point of extreme frustration for students. we definitely gave her too hard of a time, so she had to waste a lot of valuable time though. I did manage to learn stuff that had been difficult for me in the past; show up, pay attention, do your work, and don't antagonize her, and you'll be fine!

Horrible. Do not take dr. Chang. She's super disorganized. Always changes the schedule so you never know what is due or what will be on the test. Her teaching method is confusing and she wastes so much time doing nothing on her comp. If you take her you will be wasting your time, trust me. I regret taking her instead of waiting for a better proff.

Horrible math professor i have ever taken! she is not clear at all, loses homework assignments and tests. She doesnt know how to answer questions she pretty much brushes you off. You have to basically stalk her to input your grades on canvas, avoid the frustration and take someone else. There is no clarity in her lectures.

Horrible Math Professor I have ever taken during my years at PCC. She is very UNCLEAR with her lectures and disorganized. She loses homework and quizzes. She wastes so much time. She literally only gives you a FEW minutes to do classwork with your partner. Strongly not recommend her! Avoid her if you actually want to learn math.

I would not recommend this teacher because she treats you like a little kid when we are in college. The book costs about $100 and you guys barely use it. I was very disappointed in this class as it was not what I was looking forward to. Overall experience was horrible.

Very unclear and disorganized. Would not recommend to anyone as she confuses people more than teach them. Do not take her class unless you want to fail because she is not so great at teaching.

If your reading this, do yourself a favor a skip her. Cannot teach whatsoever and grades you down because of it. If you want to learn I would suggest a different teacher because Yu-Chang will lose all the assignments you hand to her and blame you for it. You will not know what grade you have until the end of the semester which is dumb.

she is really unorganized! She is nice and does want you to do good in her class. She gives tons of hw, that she cannot keep track of what she gives you. Do not take for summer. Maybe it would be better for a full semester but this summer experience has not been well with her.

She wants the best for her students. yes, she can be pretty confusing at times but ask for help 1 on 1 and you will be fine. She's very friendly see her during office hours or after you get done with lab and you'll be fine. not a hard class at all.

Superb teacher that is extremely enthusiastic when teaching. If you do your homework and pay attention in class, you'll love this class. She spends a bunch of time individually helping students - something very difficult to find in other classrooms.

Dr. Chang is a nice lady who means well but is not great at teaching. She really does care for her students and tries to make sure they understand the material but she is very unclear in her instructions and is unorganized. If you are good in math then her class is an easy A otherwise take another prof. to get a better learning experience.

If you can avoid her, do it. She is a sweet professor and she cares to help you pass, but is super unorganized and plays the entire course by ear. Every lecture you wont know what to expect. You prepare for a test to come in and find out it was moved to next meeting. Which is good, but gets super irritating to keep up with schedule. Do not take.

She is a nice lady. Most students get A. She is sometimes disorganized, that's because she spends lots of time helping students with their home work.

I like her ,though i had a hard time for the beginning. After I catch up her class, it became my easiest class. Many Opportunites to pass the class. If you do bad on the test, you still can make up it. I will take her class again.

She has a really good personality, but sadly she does not have great teaching skill. Most of the time, she was very unorganized with her lectures. However, if you have any concern or questions related to your class works, she was willing to help at all time. Her grading was not hard, but it was not an easy A either. YOU HAVE TO STUDY HARD.

Do not take this class if you do not want to be pressured because she gives at least 9 assignments and at most 11. Besides, she opens the assignments on Wednesday instead of Monday. We are required to do python every week. As for the midterm and final exams, she made us participate in zoom to explain how python did it lasted 4-5 hours.

Since the class is online, there is a presentation for the Python part (lasts 30 minutes) of the exams. She gave us the opportunity to make up for exams and assignments to get a better score. If you have any questions or concerns, you can ask her before starting your presentation. So Zoom's time length will depend on how many questions you have.

Dr. Chang offered us the chance to make up for any missed assignments or exams. Despite assigning a lot of homework, it proved immensely beneficial for our exams. The tests were based solely on the lectures, without any tricky questions. She dedicated ample time during office hours via Zoom to address all of our inquiries. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended. She gives the score is not hard if you follow the instructions, you will get the full mark. She spends more time via Zoom because she cares about her students and is willing to help them understand concepts. The quiz is about 5 questions, just watch the video and answer, it's also very easy. Easy exam, can make up.

I highly recommend her classes. She is incredibly kind. She breaks assignments down into smaller portions for easier completion and scoring. The quizzes have three attempts and consist of short videos and no more than five multiple-choice questions. I only had to submit 4 assignments over several weeks, which didn't take much time.
