TTTTTTTTTTTERRIBLE!!!!!!!! I do not understand what he said in class???? messy notes!!!!

If you ever feel useless in life attend one of his lectures. His tests are as broken as the McDonald's ice cream machines. He will give you questions that look familiar, but very complex, and you actually don't know how to do them because they never appeared in the homework. During exams, you will be stuck there twiddling your thumbs with regret

Would never take this class again.

The lectures are not helpful at all and super boring. If you plan on going bring your textbook or something to do problems to fill the time when he takes thirty minutes to teach one theorem.

His lectures are just him solving problems without explanation and aren't much help. The syllabus is a copy of the online textbooks table of contents, doesn't include office hours or anything useful. In my opinion, someone who can't even put together a syllabus has no business being employed anywhere.

I would never take Ye again. He is a terrible lecturer as he simply proofs theorems. His class is test heavy and, while the tests have a huge curve, they are extremely difficult. Study the homework and do every problem in the textbook if you are able to, and utilize sections and tutoring services.

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

SUPERB teacher. Addresses were sound and coordinated and the schoolwork and tests were SUPER clear. Assuming that you go to addresses, you basically DON'T need to study. Individuals that are COMPLAINING simply didn't go to the talks and stepped through the examination BLIND. His work on the Logarithmic Sobolev Inequality propelled me to study math

Big curves but hard exams

Absolutely AMAZING professor. Lectures were coherent and organized and the homework and tests were SUPER straightforward. If you attend lectures, you pretty much DON'T have to study. The people that are COMPLAINING just didn't go to the lectures and took the test BLIND. His work on the Logarithmic Sobolev Inequality inspired me to major in math.

Go to his lectures, read the textbook, set at least one hour of study time each week if possible. I struggled because I did not study, but I began studying/trying I found the class to be easy. You won't pass the class if you want the professor to explain everything in detail; you need to set time aside if you are struggling.

Super hard. Never took calc and was struggling the whole time. Sign up for CLAS tutorial groups. Didn't care about helping students. HW on webwork was hard and time consuming. Breakdown of grade is also bad, very test heavy. Only redeeming quality is that he gave us bonus points on midterm and final after everyone failed. Huge curve at the end.

Math 3A with Professor Ye was difficult. Very unorganized, hard-to-follow lectures and gave very difficult midterms and final. I'd recommend looking over the textbook, attending section, and using external resources like Khan Academy to study if you have to take this class. HW was on Webwork, so unlimited tries.

His lectures are hard to follow but he has a good personality. If the entire class is struggling, he will do things to help. Otherwise, self-studying is needed for this class. He only goes through textbook examples so it's better to just read that and ask TA questions and not waste time in his lectures.

The tests were most similar to the hardest homework problems. Practice those. Sucks bc tests comprised most of your grade in the class. The prof is a nice guy, but a bad teacher. Lectures suck. But I regret not forcing myself to go to lectures and section bc with a little more effort I think I could have gotten a better grade. Curve will save you.

Do not take Math 3A from Professor Ye. His Lectures are not great. By week 2, 3/4 of the class skip his lectures. Tests are poorly designed. Problems on midterm and finals are much harder than practice problems. The class performs poorly on those tests, so he'll often add ten points to everyone's tests. He also heavily curves the class.

There is a 10% curve. If you took AP Calc, it should all be review, but if you didn't, don't expect to learn anything from him. He gave extra 10 points on the first midterm and in the final because everyone did bad. He allowed a whole sheet of paper as a cheat sheet. I'd say it is an easy class to pass given the extra points and cheat sheet.

Prof Ye's lectures were very confusing and hard to follow. I only passed because I signed up for CLAS. Whatever I learned in the class I learned in CLAS or self taught from the textbook. The test questions were unlike what we had learned in homework. Only good things- notecards were allowed on tests and there was a big curve.

Rick Ye manages to simultaneously waste your time and make you more confused. He does not explain problems or give study materials for tests. i would suggest not going to lecture and self studying instead. its less of a waste of time. if you have the option you should go onto the titanic before taking his class because your gpa will sink faster.

I took Calc in High School - I knew all the concepts, I used the book problems and his assigned homework to study for the tests but still managed to get a failing score. He leaves the grading up to his Ta's, and Prof Yusen marks your question wrong even if you got it right because wrong "method". IMPOSSIBLE DO NOT TAKE. take math 3A at a community

clas will save your life. don't bother going to lecture. tests very different from homework and book problems. i took ap calc in hs and i still found this class extremely hard.

Attended every lecture for this class and still felt lost when it came to tests. They weren't on overly difficult topics, but the style of questions Professor Ye chose were unlike anything we worked through on homework. Ye even refused to provide practice problems for the final when a student asked for help. And 50% for a final is ridiculous.

He might be a good poet, good mathematician, but definitely not a good professor.

Professor Ye's lectures are unorganized and he speaks with an accent. It's very hard to understand the concepts he tries to communicate without having taken clac before. You're better off learning with Khan Academy. Even though his exams were straightforward topic-wise, he picked the most confusing examples. Avoid this class with him if you can.
