PSY102 . Yu H 5 Days Ago

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.

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

PSY139 . Yu H 11 Months Ago

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...

PSY139 . Yu H 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

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
