He is THE worst professor of all time. He knows a lot about math but has absolutely no idea how to teach. The 2 midterms were easy but the final was a nightmare. Only about 40 kids showed regularly to a class of over 250. He is super unclear, goes off on class-long tangents, and doesn't communicate to the students at all. No way to know your grade

Actually I think professor Ye is a really nice guy, he is not give us really hard time on homeworks or midterms and finals. all materials he tested us were the things he taught in classes. He is really serious about teaching and willing to answer all the question(you just have to ask!!!!)

Great mathematician, bad educator. Does not speak in language of students, definitely does go on tangents that are irrelevant to class material.

I rebuke this professor man!

Literally so disorganized and no clear syllabus. While math is usually a strong area for me, I would sit in his lectures and not understand a single thing. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS unless you know how to learn on ur own

To be honest I hated the guy until the final. Lectures primarily consisted of him waffling and you were better off reading the textbook. They were funny though. I got a D- on the midterm (which he curved to a C-). Then he gave an extremely easy final worth 50% of the course grade and I ended up with an A after the final curve. Peak cinema. 10/10

Horribly disorganized, bad handwriting, weird tangents, constantly corrects himself so you have to rewrite notes, and switches between going too slow and too fast. His phone went off 20 times during the final exam and he did not silence it. If you are forced to take a class with him, grading is reasonable and you do get a cheat sheet on exams.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO! Lectures are useless & seem to go on for years. There is no structure & nothing is explained. He just goes up there & rambles for an hour. If you do have to take this professor sign up for clas bc you will need it. Honestly, do not know how he is a professor. good luck if you take his class

Professor Ye is the most disorganized professor I have ever had. He had no consistent train of thought during lectures. The syllabus wasn't posted until at least two weeks into the quarter but I guess it didn't matter because I had to self-teach the whole class anyways. Midterm was easy, final was the hardest test I have taken. Avoid him if you can

Final was 53% of the grade. Do not take his class. You will have to go to CLAS and also teach yourself the math. Final was not like the homework. Also a lot of homework.

Worst class I've ever taken. professor couldn't teach, literally had 0 clue how to. assigned lots of hw, if you want to learn you to self teach the entire course. final worth over 50% of your grade. good luck to anyone who has this guy in the future.

There was a ton of homework and you have to teach yourself all the material because he only covers a small percentage of the course work and the lectures are not helpful. We were given good review material for the midterm but not for the final, which was much harder. During the final he realized half the test didn't print and a TA had to print more

I want to emphasize by what am I going to say…DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR CLASS BY ALL COSTS. My God not only you can barely understand what he is saying, he goes through examples in the textbook without even saying where he is at, and going through the problem he's disorganized and just mumbles throughout the process.

Teacher was a joke. Can barely understand his voice, jumps from random chapters, explains stuff the longest way possible. Had to self teach & do so much extra stuff to pass the class. Had to make lectures mandatory because no one showed up and the tas dont help either.

The worst teacher I have ever had in my whole life. He had to make attendance mandatory cus nobody was showing up to class. Absolutely zero flow to his lectures. You get a sheet of paper for the midterm and final which was nice but considering I didn't learn anything, it was only fair. Do not take him!!!!!

you have to teach yourself but material is easy to understand if you use the textbook, his lectures are all over the place and you cant understand what hes saying. tests are also easy. midterm had 5 questions and they were pretty easy, could be done within 20 min if that.

only like 10-15% student showed up to lecture. just self teach. It's a skill you need in real workforce ig.

Very test heavy your whole grade is basically your midterm and final exam. Allows cheat sheet. You have to teach yourself the material. Very disorganized and hard to sometimes understand him. TA also not helpful. If possible do not take a math class with this man.

Do not take a class with him if he is the professor. Although he seems nice, he is not a great teacher. He is super unorganized during lectures, and it can be hard to understand him at times. During this course, I have been basically teaching myself the material. My advice is just to stay away at all costs.

DO NOT TAKE THIS MAN'S COURSE AT ALL COSTS!!!! It's super unorganized to the point where it doesn't even make a difference if you show up to class or not. The contents of the class are pretty straightforward but there's no structure to the class so you basically have to teach yourself everything...

stay away

this class is okay if you're a self learner. not a big fan of him as a lecturer/teacher, but it's definitely passable if you put in effort. never came to class beyond the first one, but did all the homework problems and he gives you a 8.5x11 front and back cheatsheet. his notes are sloppy/all over the place lol grading is 20% hw 30% mid 50% final

Lectures were heavy on proofs, and the way that the math was explained was very confusing (His notes did not read top down, left to right, they were absolutely EVERYWHERE). I think that Prof Ye is a nice man, but NOT a good lecturer. Would not recommend if you want to actually learn math. You do get a cheat sheet for tests, but it didn't help me.

Professor is never going to respond to any emails or requests. He reads directly off the book, and half the class fails every exam. The syllabus is 15 lines long. Total 15 line syllabus. "A potted plant might do a better job" Never start from the back of the exam. Both midterm and finals had changes we had to make halfway through the exam.
