One of the best profs you will see in the first year. Attend his lectures and don't hesitate to ask him questions. Practice textbook questions and you'll be fine.

Professor Gao is alright in his lectures, but he compensates with easy tests. All you have to do is do his homework that he posts and solve the online homework assessment and you're good to go for his tests

Tests and exam questions were very similar to the ones in the textbook. Mandatory online Lyryx assignments every week (which is an extra $40) but the practice helped a lot. Getting through his accent may take a few lectures, but otherwise he's a very good prof.

Comment:
This professor is much better than most of the ratings appear. He may not be the best at explaining concepts but is a very caring professor and helps his students to succeed. Most evaluations are based directly from the homework and thus, the course can be self-taught with clear lecture slides. Would definitely recommend.

A lot of students write of Yun Gao after the first class. However, if you pay attention in lectures, he does a decent job of explaining, after you get past the accent. He provides plenty of examples and the tests are made up of problems from the homework, so if you do that, you'll be fine.

Comment:
He just can't teach. I would rather study everything on my own instead of listening to him blah blah blah from powerpoint (no offense). However, his midterms are from homework questions so I guess that's the only reason why he got mid 3 rating, but when it comes to exam it designs to fail everyone cause it is so difficult and nonsense. Good luck.

The lectures were reading off slides and were not effective. The class was fun to chill and waste time in but nobody actually learned anything. Studying for midterms and finals meant reteaching yourself the course. If anything, first midterm is easy and then its downhill from there

Nice person, posts all the slides on the website, so attendance is not mandatory. Tests are extremely easy because he takes ALL the questions from the assigned homework. Just read the textbook/ slides and do all the homework.

YUN Gao said "you should read the text book! And do the excise from the book!" You don't need to go for the class to pass the two term test, what his teach in class will not shown in the midterm test. Just read the text book is fine. Terriblable accent. Discriminate for the students.

�� i have this professor. Makes us work too hard and at the end we will not see what he taught us on the test. Sometimes I wonder if it's a different professor that set test questions. I will never advice my enemy to take his class. Super bad.

He's got an accent but it doesn't hinder his performance in class. Rather decent lecturer. Make sure you've reviewed the past exams and assignments for the final. The final is not hard yet heavy. For the final in the fall term of 2017, the exam time was cut by half an hour without much notice to the students. BE AWARE OF YOUR EXAM TIME.

Actually a great prof once you get past his hard accent. Don't skip class because he writes stuff on the board which is very useful. Do good on the midterm and do the assignments, and the exam should be a blast. Use the textbook, do the questions related to the topic and you should be fine for 1025.

DO. THE. HOMEWORK. If you do, you can get an A+. Tests are simple and straightforward. For exams, be sure to look at the posted mock exam (quite similar). Gao's lectures are alright. Sometimes slips and says/writes the wrong thing, but still followable. BEWARE OF THE MARKS: sometimes prone to errors in grades, so keep own record. again, DO THE HWK!

His lecture was boring. All the contents and examples are directly come from book. Strong accent. Quiz and mid term were directly come from homework. Final was also close to homework question. Easy to get A. Overall good. I do recommend him.

Comment:
Professor Yun Gao's lectures are really boring, but his slides were very clear and easy to learn on your own. You don't need to go to class to pass the course. He tries to answer the students' questions, however, he sometimes misunderstands what you're asking. Tests were a bit hard but not too bad. We had annoying online assignments every week.
