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

Class started off rocky but he really took our feedback to heart and adjusted things to be easier/more accessible. Was not expecting to read that many research articles but was easy once you get the hang of it. Quizzes got a lot easier in the 2nd half of the class but they're only 50% of the grade + lowest one dropped. Definitely a very caring prof

Professor Yu is so kind and knowledgeable and truly wants his students to learn. His lectures (recorded option) were very interesting and he picked engaging studies and research papers to read. If you do the readings before or after class even briefly it's super helpful for the quizzes which are a main part of your grade. No final or midterm.

Very neuroscience based. The wording of quizzes can be confusing sometimes. Do not recommend...

Professor Yu is very knowledgeable and caring, honestly a great guy. However I found the structure of this class to be difficult. All readings, lecture content, quizzes and homework are focused solely on research articles. This would have been fine but there was not enough foundation laid for the concepts before diving into the deep end of research

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!

Pay attention to the first authors of the assigned material. I have only just taken the first midterm and was only lucky to have remembered grazing over it. I'd recommend having a research article notetaking strategy for this kind of class.

Good class, I like it. The professor tried to make everyone happy. Although the material is a little bit hard and his communication skills can be improved a little bit, but overall, it is a wonderful class, and he is very knowledgeable.
