PSY153 . Yu H 2 Years Ago

He is such a nice dude. His lectures were very interesting, and were recorded. Four quizzes and four group assignments. Very fair and not hard to succeed, he is honestly one of the nicest professors I've had.

1) Read the articles before class 2) Take notes with slides, do not hand write 3) Be proactive and you will get an easy A, just do the work, it is FAIR

psy153 . Yu H 3 Years Ago

I thought that Professor Yu was very helpful and clear in his explanations. He definitely helped me understand the material more and he clearly knows what he is talking about. This class was a few longer quizzes, one small final project, and most of the grades were based on frequent group discussions. I actually really liked this class.

PSY153 . Yu H 3 Years Ago

Dr. Yu was a phenomenal and understanding professor. Not only was he insightful and answered all the questions you had, he was very accommodating to students regarding the quizzes and deadlines. He always showed that he cared for his students and was overall a great professor. Would take again!

PSY102 . Yu H 8 Days Ago

Dr Yu is very sweet and makes it easy for you to get an A. Midterms are super fair and final's a little harder, but you get a cheat sheet. The drop-in ULA sessions are super helpful. Attendance is optional and he posts videos and such detailed lecture notes (!!!) which were amazing

PSY102 . Yu H 12 Days Ago

Such a sweet and knowledgeable professor. Interesting course material. Lectures can be fast paced and sometimes confusing since there is a lot of material. GO TO THE STUDY SESSIONS! The ULA's are great and really help with reviewing material. Two midterms, 6 online quizzes, and a final. Multiple guest lectures as well. Great upper div option.
