108B . Ye R 3 Years Ago

Prof Ye lectures from the book so you don't need to attend lectures but it is nice to go sometimes. He cracks jokes during class and only sometimes uploads a recorded lecture depending on how the tech is working that day. At first class was very difficult but test are based off of HW and lecture examples and you get a entire page note sheet

MATH108B . Ye R 5 Years Ago

Based on the dates of past reviews, it is clear he has improved as a prof. over time. Lectures are mostly clear -- occasionally he makes jumps in logic but will answer questions well if asked. He lectures following the text closely. Exams very straightforward, but few questions per so double/triple check. Last 3 lectures weren't on final.

He is the best professor. The exams are straightforward.

Even though his accent makes him hard to understand sometimes. But his midterms and finals are really straightforward and doable.

The fact that he doesn't show up to office hours is enough to give him a bad review. Good luck reaching him outside of class; Emails will come back in 2 days. He does not seem to care about the class' understanding and dodges questions. Sometimes by ignoring Qs. I would do whatever you can to not take this professor if you want to learn anything.

I can't not even explain how bad this teacher is. I can't understand him, he writes like a 2nd grader, he won't tell us how many/when our midterms are. There are no practice test. He puts in no effort to help you do well or learn. I actually like math but I have never dreaded a class more.
