This was not an easy course, but Yu Ling made it bearable. She has good powerpoint notes of all chapters which are uploaded into myLangara so there is no reason buy the textbooks.

Yu Ling is the best out of the worst Pangaea stats teachers. She spends a lot of time on all the little chapters, up until the point she nails all the little details in your head! But she barely spends 3 classes on the final exam material which is worth 40%. That is just bad time management on her part. And the final can throw you off really bad.

Once you get over the thick accent over zoom you'll see that she's an amazing teacher. Extremely helpful! She would reply to my midnight emails immediately despite having class with her at 8:30AM the next day! Highly recommend taking her class and always ask for help!!

You can tell Yu-Ling is very passionate about statistics. When you get over her accent, you will realize that she tries to make the material as clear as possible. She wants her students to succeed and provides them with the resources to do so. She would even reply to my emails at 1am.

Yu-Ling was by far the most difficult and rude teacher I have had. She was dismissive when you would ask questions, sometimes say that we had garbage responses and refer to some questions as 'dumb'. Her slides were vague and didn't offer recordings or further online resources. You also feel forced to buy the online text book to get an automatic 5%.

Overall I enjoyed being in Yu-Ling's class. Her teaching style is lecture-heavy, so make sure you attend class. Textbook optional. She is strict but as long as you show up and show that you're making an effort, she will help you succeed, including replying to emails after hours. If you can get past her heavy accent, she has a good sense of humour.

I don't understand why there were negative reviews. Yes her pronunciation is not perfect like local people, but she really did well in teaching. If you can get used to her teaching (for me only took the first 2 weeks), do the homework, then you will definitely ace it. She is very caring and generous in giving grades too. Definitely recommended.

Yu Ling's lecture notes are easy to follow and she goes over many examples to help us clearly understand the material. There is a lot of work tho. Many assignments, one group project, quizzes, and tests. Her tests and quizzes are straightforward just like her lectures but calculations are time-consuming so make sure to practice a lot.

Most of the students taking the stats course are not very smart. Someone with a background knowledge of even a high school level math like precalculus can handle this course easily. Just show up to the lecture and don't skip. Yuling gives you all the exam questions like 80% of the exam questions during lectures and people still complain like- pls.

Some people may be okay with having her as a stats prof. But for me, i wouldn't recommend her. The way she explains the slides does not make sense, it's too rushed. Most of the time you would have to go home and study the notes yourself or either use AI to explain it to you. So, take this course with some other prof( highly recommended).
