CollegeThe professor was good at explaining stuffs, but I felt like he didn't give us enough practice material to work with during the class time, especially in the last 3 weeks. The midterm and finals were hard, and you really needed to review a lot before coming to the exam.
The material can be tough, but grading on exams was very lenient. I would get points for just writing things that are somewhat related to the question, even if I ended up completely wrong. Also, he gave everyone a 4% boost to their final grade at the end, which was really nice. I never went to class, and I got by. If you study, you'll be fine.
Absolute GOAT! Praying we can cross paths again in my future classes. Professor Yan makes 3B feel like a walk in the park. The 2 quizzes, midterm and final are super easy, and although his class is light, you actually learn if you go to lecture cuz he goes by slowly and often asks if people have questions. THE GOAT HAS A NAME AND ITS MINGSONG YAN!!
best 3b professor. hw was difficult sometimes but you have unlimited attempts and his tests were exactly like the practice + easier than the hw problems. he also lets you make a cheat sheet for every exam. the lectures were pretty boring but he does practice problems which are helpful. also an overall laidback and funny guy.
Awesome Prof. Very rare to see such clear cut grading criteria - be ready for no curve, though IMO not needed as long as effort is put in. No surprises on exams; amazing, READABLE, AND UNDERSTANDABLE lecture notes, light homework. Also overall great guy, loves chatting in office hours about non-class topics in data science/ math.
Okay ignore my grade I lowkey fumbled the easiest final ever but super thorough prof!! Course was great and I actually learned and the 2 quizzes, midterm, and final aren't bad at all (I just made silly mistakes 💔)
