took his 104A earlier so take this 104B again. getting a good grade is not easy when your TA is tough, but prof himself is not bad. hw is reasonable. if u skip his class, dont skip the review session. the grading policy is so nice. the "drop the lower mid score" literally saves my life. //will write another comment when i finish his 104c.
Prof Xu Yang is very nice and patient. He has review sessions that help us prepare for mid & final, which is SUPER helpful. drop the lowest for one of the hw & one of the mid.
Literally just used another professor's lecture slides and notes.
Very heavy accent and does NOT care about his students. Just keep talking and talking and assume everyone knows what he talks about.
Professor Yang communicates with the students often with emails, his lectures were straight-forward and I felt like I had a deep understanding on the content, and the exams are challenging. I strongly recommend for Math 3B.
Did not even create his own lectures, used another teacher's lectures from the previous quarter - everything was asynchronous. Quizzes were 5 questions and the lowest one is dropped. You will definitely need to study extra for this class if you want a good grade in it.
Very disorganized lectures. Bad handwriting and difficult to understand. Lectures consist of him doing examples while providing little to no explanation. Do NOT recommend.
wasn't attentive to student needs :(
Super disorganized, hard to understand his speech or handwriting, no response to emails, posts hundreds of hw problems but doesn't say which are important, midterms and final consists of some stuff we don't spend any time on. Didn't show up to any of his exams which all had grading errors, Yang is intelligent and a nice guy, but bad at teaching.
Extremely unorganized from the start. He writes so messily on a tablet and his explanations are so bland. He changed his grading scale so many times throughout the quarter. He never showed up to exams because they had mistakes on them. Some things on the midterms were never covered in class. Some people aren't meant to teach and he is one of them.
This professor is extremely straight-forward. The homework for his 104B class wasn't so bad either, especially if you work with your peers. His exams are awesome. He has a review lecture and goes over ALL possible questions he could ask you in the exam and goes over how to do them in detail. It seems pretty counter-intuitive, but I learned a lot.
He is a nice guy who is good at explaning concepts and giving examples. He writes his notes on the board and does not post anything on gauchospace. He requires us to register ourselves on wileyplus which costs me $120 for homework.
