Took this during Summer B and was nervous because of the reviews here, but my experience was very different. It's a hard class, especially if math isn't your strength, but you can do well if you stay consistent, communicate, and GO TO OFFICE HOURS! Prof. Yang is sweet, approachable, and open to feedback. I learned a lot and am glad I took it.COMM3105 2026-08-31 23:30:24 +0000 UTC
She is lovely, but her classroom practices are not. I wish there was more time dedicated to SPSS, and her grading is quite nit-picky. Two tips: she adds extra credit opportunities throughout the semester and doesn't care about prose quality.POLS2400 2026-05-25 16:54:21 +0000 UTC
I got an A with lots of learning. She was always friendly. Would recommend if you want to learn something.IN6406 2026-04-30 23:13:40 +0000 UTC
Prof. Yang is a dedicated instructor with well-structured courses and lenient grading (I got 2 As). Her assignments promote real learning, and she encourages AI use for skill development. She is responsive, offers research opportunities, and provides valuable academic guidance, though lecture presentations could be more summary & interactive.INSH6500 2026-04-30 23:10:46 +0000 UTC
Loved the class. Lecture on Tuesday, quiz on Friday (only content from Tues). Also labs/tutorials on graphing on Friday that basically help you finish lab assignment. Alternates between lab assignment (visualization tied to question(s)) or a reading + discussion post. She gives a lot of opportunity for extra credit. Drops lowest quiz score.

Following what she says is hard and it feels like I taught myself the class. She is accessible outside of class but she sometimes makes unkind comments that I dont think she realizes makes students feel bad that they dont know something. A lot of extra credit which is neededPOLS2400 2026-05-12 08:19:39 +0000 UTC
Very by-the-book, but still kind. Many opportunities for extra credit; like so many. Class content isn't difficult, there's just a lot of content. Could be more understanding/flexible, but also does what she can without going out of order if that makes sense. Sufficient amount of assignments to be graded from.COMM3105 2025-04-18 17:10:55 +0000 UTC
While Professor Yang is knowledgeable in her field, I found her teaching approach hard to follow. The workload was excessive, and course material was not always digestible. Many students, myself included, were accused of academic dishonesty over (correct) midterm answers. This experience left me feeling discouraged in the learning process.POLS2400 2025-10-02 14:48:53 +0000 UTC
Very kind and understanding. Class was at 8AM, but the content was delivered well. She really wants you to do well. She's kinddd of intimidating but it's because she's so organized and objective. I honestly loved her and the class.COMM3105 2025-04-18 17:07:06 +0000 UTC
Do yourself a favor and don't take this class if you can help it. Professor can't convey the material well and doesn't properly answer questions. She's nice when you approach her, but her classroom practices are not.POLS2400 2024-04-20 05:15:06 +0000 UTC
I tried to give the benefit of the doubt, but the instructors lectures are confusing to follow. She never answers questions, she is unforgiving as far as late assignments and life events go. She seems kind, but her practices as a professor make you forget that. People have lives outside of school and she is not willing to work around it.POLS2400 2024-02-04 20:35:29 +0000 UTC
Took this class for INSH 6500 for the criminal justice graduate program. I would not recommend this class. It is incredibly R heavy, the midterm is timed with an R portion to it and long complicated theory questions. Homework is very time consuming and intense.POLS2400 2023-10-28 00:10:39 +0000 UTC
Unclear grading scheme and feedback. Pre-recorded lectures were tedious and hard to follow. If you didn't understand something in the in-class lecture, you were left behind. Prof often refused to answer questions. Class avg. was ~70 for the midterm and ~60 for the final, fortunately, she offered a lot of extra credit to bring the grade up.POLS2400 2023-06-15 22:52:09 +0000 UTC
Unorganized and long lectures. Confusing instructions with errors. Incoherent lab notes. Assignments were challenging and took hours. Professor is unwilling to cooperate with the students. Please do not take this class, I literally did not learn a single thing.POLS2400 2023-05-22 15:07:56 +0000 UTC
By far the most difficult course I've taken at Northeastern. It is all R coding. She admitted at the end that she had tortured us. The work load was unmanageable and students were pointing out where she was wrong on the writing of questions. The only reason we all didn't fail was because she realized we were struggling and offered extra credit.POLS2400 2023-04-22 03:26:23 +0000 UTC
