<p>I’d still maintain that he’s one of the crazy smartest genius students ever at Mudd. He graduated with over 200 credits in only four years. To those who don’t know, a typical semester load at Mudd is 16 credits (5.3 classes), 128 are required to graduate (so 8 semesters of 16). Anything above 18 per semester is an overload, but Yong averaged 25 credits per semester which would put him to over 8 classes each term. Maybe if he had only taken 7.5 classes a term he’d have gotten the 4.0 :-)</p>
<p>Had two classes with him - incredibly brilliant, but also very down to earth, funny and laid-back, and an amazingly clear orator of the subject matter. He’d play random stupid Youtube videos during 5 minute breaks in every class period ;)</p>
