PSY102 . Yu H 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

Dr. Yu is super sweet. We received 2 cheat sheets for each midterm and 3 sheets for the final. Definitely make your cheat sheets understandable and easy to comprehend. Dr. Yu isn't responsive by email--he never responded to any of mine. I just wish my grade was rounded up to an A-. Overall, the only assignments were about 7 quizzes.

Professor Yu is such a nice professor. You get cheat sheets on the exams and they are pretty straight forward. All the material on exams is from lectures, so reading the textbook is not completely necessary. Overall, a pretty easy and low demanding class.

Dr. Yu's class didn't really stand out to me as really great or really bad. I liked how he taught us about different studies and philosophers from China, it gave a personal touch. 2 midterms, one cumulative final, all have cheat sheets. Tests are easy + fair. Homework quizzes every two weeks. Just a mid experience overall.

PSY102 . Yu H 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

One of the easiest psych courses + interesting content. Cheat sheets allowed into exams. Easy 20 question (~15 min) exams. Quizzes only slightly harder than exams. Posts slides AND recordings of lecture. Cares about students and takes questions seriously even if they're obvious/irrelevant. You don't need to read textbook, just pay attention.

Dr. Yu is a good professor but the content of this class is super dry. It should be called Social Psychology Research not Social Psychology, all you learn about is studies. He grades fairly and you get a cheat sheet on the exams. Meh class

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.

Made the material very interesting and easy to understand. Posted lectures online which was very helpful. I had to retake this class and I wish I took it with professor Yu in the first place. Very passionate and caring.

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

PSY102 . Yu H 2 Years Ago

A professor that helps you understand the concepts. I didn't find reading the textbook necessary as the lectures usually covered the important topics well enough to my understanding. Tests all came with a cheat sheet, and the tests are not cumulative.

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.

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!
