Comment:
Her English is very hard to understand and she get off topic really easily. I do not recommend taking her for Econ unless Econ is your strong subject. The only grades in the class are online homework assignments and exams. The homework doesn't count for much so if you do bad on the exams you're pretty much screwed.

She is the worst possible teacher to have if your look to seek help outside of class. We went to go see her a couple of times and ask for her to reiterate and she tries to bash us for not understanding it during class and continually asks u the whole time of office hours where u in class after every question

Comment:
Cannot understand a word she said. VERY thick accent. doesn't care about a student passing the class. VERY cocky. do not take her unless you want to show up to class everyday and not learn anything and then go on your own time to learn things about this class. so far, my worst teacher i have had.

Comment:
She was kind lady, but tough grader. didn't give a lot of work which can be nice but that led to low grades bc only the aplia and tests were used as grades. She was realllllly confusing and I struggled. I attended every SI session and the tests seems hard still, due to the wordy ness, she has broken English, it is quite funny

Comment:
The worst teacher I've ever had. She has VERY broken english and is extremely cocky. She made sure to tell the class at least once a week that she 'doesn't make mistakes'. The 3 exams and the Aplia homework are the only grades, she gives no other assignments. The exams are nothing like the practice questions given and are very abstract.

The first time I took this I failed and had to retake her. I think I am going to fail again, I am dropping out of this school. She's a really nice lady who is compassionate about teaching. I feel guilty for failing honestly. DO NOT SLACK. I will miss her. Laugh at her jokes. You can understand her, her English is fine.

Three main exams, she takes the best two for your final grade. Your attendance is weighted in grade, and she really likes people that participate in class. If you don't get to know her in the beginning of the semester, you may feel ostracized for the rest. One online homework assignment a week; DO THEM. Saved me from getting a C in the class.

From the day I walked in there I knew it was going to be a disaster. Her lectures are incredibly boring, you cannot understand her, and the test are impossible. If you aren't very proficient in Econ you will struggle to get a C. If you want to get a decent grade in Econ 211 do not take this corse.

Some students don't like Dr. Yao but I found that she was a good teacher. She lectures from the powerpoint, which can get boring sometimes but she is really into what she teaches. As long as you do the Aplia homework and study, you should do pretty good on her tests. Very sweet person in my opinion.

Comment:
Dr. Yao is very nice and funny but a very hard teacher. She speaks broken english, and is sometimes hard to understand. Dr. Yao gives you powerpoint and detailed notes but she will tell you stuff in class that you won't know for the test unless you are there. Test are very hard. Don't take the class unless you need too.

Comment:
Took this class and hated it. Half the time I couldn't understand what she was saying because her accent is too thick. She kept making references to broccoli which just confused everyone. Also if you talk, text or have to use the bathroom during class she will stop her lecture and yell at you which does more harm than good. Would never take again.

The worst teacher i've ever had. From her name you can see that she's not from the United States which wouldn't be a problem if you could actually understand her. Lectures are dragged out and she rambles off incohesive thoughts. Her acceent is thick and she is all around a bad teacher. DO NOT TAKE.

She has a thick Chinese accent but completely proficient in English. Really knows material, wants students to learn and participate. She will like you if you participate regularly. Test questions are straightforward and mirror class examples. Regular homework online. Gives extra credit often and there's a small attendance grade.

Professor Yao is an okay teacher. She has a very strong Chinese accent and can be very hard to understand at some points. Knows her stuff but sometimes doesn't teach it well. Test are very wordy. Tries to trick you. Be prepared to study for hours. Aplia every week and doesn't really use a textbook. If other options don't take Yao.

Dr. Yao is a tough professor and is not always clear in her material. She gets confused by herself a lot. There are a lot of opportunities for extra credit. Tests are very hard and not always what is taught in her lectures. Did not use the book.
