Compared to other STA9708 professors, I think he's one of the better ones. His style is very straightforward and he teaches you exactly what you need to know and doesn't get into too much theory. Provides a formula sheet that has all of the formulas you will need for quizzes/exams. I wish he could have controlled the slackers and goof-offs better.

This professor is easy and funny. If your math's background isn't good, take him!! Bcoz you don't actually know too much about the theory for exams. Quizzes could be a bit tricky but exams are easy, just redo all the quizzes then you gonna ace it. I got an A but didn't really spend much time on his course. Take him if you want an A.

He's a great professor. He'll cover everything you need to know for your quizzes & exams. There are 5 quizzes (he'll count your top 4 scores), a midterm and a final. Class attendance is not mandatory, but it's helpful if you want to do well. You can email him anytime (i.e. at 11:32 PM) and he'll get back to you promptly.

Yu (Ryan) is very funny that keeps the subject matter interesting. He is very helpful, but sometimes hard to understand. Certainly knows his stuff.

Best professor ever. Very helpful. Easy A!

The class is very boring, though he does try to make it more interesting, but i guess the material was not that exciting. He gives partial credit if you show your work on the problem sheet. Need to practice a lot. Online exercises are not much helpful.

His accent does not bother at all!! In fact, he really tried to make the material as easy as possible; he even put on the midterm and final exams only what we went over in class. Nice professor, definitely recommend him;however, statistics is very boring in general!

he is a excellent prof. his materials is very useful. He try to make the class easier and try his best to help student. He is very fair. His exam only cover what he has already discussed. His class is not boring at all. He is a funny Prof. I believe it is easy to get good grade if you are serious student. the HW is not a problem too~ so take him

I did horribly in statistics in undergrad, but a good professor really does make the difference. He's a great professor, and his powerpoint slides are the best resource (don't need the book). He has an accent but he speaks very clearly and is easy to understand. He means it when he says NO curving, NO extra credit.. he will not budge on that.

His slides made statistics much easier to learn. If you pay attention to him during the lectures you will be fine. Dont need to study the book on your own.

Prof Yu applies SAS examples in every class and hw. This is very beneficial for your professional career in the statistics field. For me taking 3 classes is challenging, ow you should be fine. His slides are a good reference. He is much friendlier, energetic and clearer than most stats professors. Significant study hours required.

Professor Yue is a nice guy who tries to make the subject interesting. He really wants the students to succeed and tries to help with extra time in tests and HW.

He focused a lot on basic concepts, which are important if you prepare to go further in statistics. The exams focused a lot concepts a lot, calculations were simple. Overall speaking, a very nice and patient lecturer.

Prof. Yue is my favorite professor of this semester, hands down. He is very efficient (yeah i know you don't usually say a professor is efficient but anyway) in conveying fundamental yet important ideas in a direct and understandable way. I have taken stat course in my undergrad but I didn't think I knew the stuff until I take Prof. Yue's class.

Ryan is a breath of fresh air to anyone whose studied math (or engineering) in the pass. He makes the course fun, engaging and straight forward. Even though the material is uninteresting, his enthusiasm is contagious and will keep you awake in the class. Take him if you can!

He's not the best, but he's also not the worst statistics professor in school. Just come to class because his slides are based off of the book. Online homework (which take forever to complete), 2 midterms and 1 final. He does not curve, not even a single point.

Prof. Yue is very methodical and highly organized. His lectures cover all the material he'll ask. Use the book for better or deeper understanding if needed, he might not help beyond lectures as it didn't seem to be the area of his own studies. He has a fine sense of humor but can be a bit sarcastic. Does not and will not curve. Easy A if you work.

Good, Straight Forward and clear grading structure. Lectures reinforce textbook readings and homework is good practice for the test. Online question bank is helpful for test prep. Tough subject matter but Prof is pretty patient. Formula sheets on exams, partial credit and offered office hours. Only 3 tests so be careful.

He goes by Ryan. The textbook is useless, but the lectures are very good, and extremely helpful. Make sure you know the conceptual stuff - not just how to do the problems. 20-30% of the test questions are conceptual. He's a fair but strict grader. doesn't round up, but gives partial credit... Make sure you do well on the tests..

He's honestly not like the other reviews say! It takes a lot of effort outside of class, but it's college. He is VERY helpful & kind. Always answers your questions in class & office hours. He is hilarious at times too. On tests, show as much work as possible!!! The con is he doesn't curve & his exams can be pretty tough, but his lectures are GREAT.

Professor Yue is a good stats professor. Sometimes its hard to understand him because of his accent and the subject is tough as is but if you have the time to put in effort into the course you'll do okay. Would not take if you're looking for an easy course to balance out your semester.

A solid choice, not bad, not amazing. He is clear, takes time to answer questions, if not to a fault. Don't worry about the accent. Tries to be funny. Tests are multiple choice, generously gives partial credit if you explain your answers. COVID-19: He's a far better teacher in class than online. Prerecords class, just shows his screen, not his face

This course is a pre-requisite for the MSBA program and covers basic statistics. He assigned one homework per week (exam week excluded). Those practices are very time-consuming, try to finish them in advance if there's time. Tests are easy and fair. No extra credit, strictly followed the grading criteria listed in syllabus.

Prof Yue teaches a solid basic Stats course. The homework is a bit heavy but it did help me sink in the material learnt. His tests could be a bit rush but he gives very generous partial credit. He has some accent but he speaks slowly so everyone can understand. It's a class to learn, not an easy A class.

He made us turn our cameras on during the test, and he didn't give us a practice exam prior to the tests. Plus, we hade a final project in addition to a final exam. Despite that, he is a nice guy who gets the point across and genuinely cares about learning. I would say he is a good instructor and I'd take him again.

Probably one of the more organized profs in the STA dept. 6 HWs (10%), group final report (20%), midterm (35% - live on Zoom), and final (35% - take home). He's super patient and always willing to answers everyone's questions (there were a lot!). He slightly curved the midterm and was lenient for the report. A lot of work, but graded fairly.

The most organized professor since the pandemic. He answers every question, always willing to help. Extremely patient and understanding. Hw, midterm, take home final and a final project, all long. The material comes from his recordings and slides so get ready to rewatch. This is not an easy class, he explains the concepts well. You will learn!

Professor Yue makes learning math/statistics super fun. I don't understand all the negative reviews. As long as your study (cmon this is grad school, you should put at least 6-10 hours of studying before an exam), you should at least get a B. He gives GENEROUS points for showing work and I would love to take him again.

If you want to learn and build a strong foundation in statistics, you should take Yu Yue: - Excellent slides and presentation skills - Very responsive outside class - Detailed review slides and handouts before each class and exam - Covered all the topics in the syllabus - Passionate about teaching and statistics I studied: 97 hours in 16 weeks.

Professor Yue is one of the best professors you could find in Baruch. His lecture is hilarious and understandable. He makes his content easy to digest for us. I will definitely take his class again if I can. Just an incredibly brilliant professor with great sense of humor. Love his courses!

Great Professor. Come to class, pay attention, take notes when he does reviews, and do your homework. Review definitions and inferences from the statistics because he tests your knowledge of them. Couldn't say more good things.

Statistics is hard, no matter what professor you take it with. I hated Stats undergrad, & I only took this course bc it was mandatory for masters, but I did great bc of his teaching. The homework questions and his PowerPoints are all you need to study for his exams. He is funny and jokes around with all his students. He lets us out a bit early too!

Take this guy! He really knows his material and lets you bring a cheat sheet to exams. I was struggling with half of the midterm but so were like 10 other kids. After time was up, he gave us an extra 10 minutes, and another 10 minutes, and another... He gives partial credit if you show work, and really tries to foster learning. Overall, great dude!

The department needs more like this guy. He was engaging and clearly loves statistics. The final was hard but he is a very generous grader and awards a lot of partial credit. Very helpful and accessible outside class

My friend who took his class said it was a difficult class. Indeed it is difficult BUT you can do it. His exams are hard but if you understand the concept, you can do his exams. He clearly explains the materials, answers questions, his lecture notes are detailed. HW is through MyLab (Pearson). He's chill and make his lecture engaging for students.

He was very nice both as a person and a professor. His lectures were great and fun to listen to. All you need to prepare for exams was doing homework and reading lecture slides.

Great lectures and enthusiastic professor which is rare these days. Don't be lazy, do the hws, use his reviews for exams, sign up for SACC tutoring if you need to, and remember that he is often open to see students after classes during his office hours. You are given all the resources to do well. A lot of formulas/concepts to learn and understand.

Amazing Professor! Powerpoints are to the point and clear. He is welcoming to any questions and is non judgmental. I would take a class with him any day. Exam uses calculator and not excel, so practice solving the math part while doing the hw. He provides a midterm review sheet and formula sheet which I found very helpful for the exam.

This class is tough. I had acceptable coding experience and while most of the class wasn't too bad, the final exam was brutal. Even I was struggling for time, and many people had difficulty. Final project and quizzes were fine, and he is pretty good at lecturing since it's hard to teach coding off slides. Take the class but cram the final HARD.

class is not hard, PAY ATTENTION DONT MISS A SINGLE CLASS quizzes COST A LITTLE TOOO MUCH try ur best in final its actually very doable, dont panic, try your best there are partial credit for it

During all quizzes and the final we had access to his lecture notes. He was always super responsive outside of class. My GOAT
