Summer 2019 - This class has a lot of graphs and I’m not a graph person so it was a hard class for me but anyone who tells you to not take him doesn’t like Econ. He’s very competent and clear in his explanations and he knows A LOT. His tests are tough but they are very similar to his practice tests so if you can do those, don’t stress too much. Would definitely take another class with him.

Fall 2020 - Yuki is the sweetest professor. She really cares about her students and it made me sad to see not a lot of people go to lectures/have their cameras on because I can tell she misses teaching in person. Her lectures are not necessary to go to at all as long as you thoroughly read the textbook and look over her slides and also do the homework problems and sample questions, as you'll find everything there that you need to do well on exams. She can be confusing when she tries to explain something, but she does her best and is very knowledgeable about the class. Overall, this is a very laid-back, easygoing class. Yuki may not be the clearest professor, but I personally didn't find her difficult to follow, and she is the nicest person.
