Class was not activated on Canvas until the week after we started the course. Syllabus that took so long to upload consisted of 12 sentences - no TA contact information. Final was considerably harder than midterm. Lecture has zero organization and he can be difficult to understand. Grade only consists of webwork (20%), midterm (30%) and final (50%)

L professor L class L rizz L everything about this dude. Class is terribly structured, and the lectures are pointless. Idk how UCSB hired this man, literally the biggest waste of a math quarter ever. I recommend taking literally anybody but him as a math teacher.

worst teacher to EVER be in the math department at UCSB. Immediate action against this man has to be taken if this school wants to be considered legitimate. Top 30 University but with a lecturer like him?? makes absolutely zero sense.

Worst to ever do it.

Avoid him! ! ! Terrible lectures, harsh grading. There aren't any syllabus. His notes were terrible and I had to study on my own.

Goes off on absolutely useless tangents. No clue how he can be considered a real lecturer.

Actually pretty chill and kind. As has been said he provides some good notes. He's flexible with students. I don't understand why there's so many bad reviews. Complaints about his "loudness" or otherwise are just because of his accent. Ye is one of the few prof in the dept to be highly accomplished, but yet not be overly demanding with his students

The syllabus was just homework midterm final, no course description, no professor email, nothing. Lectures are arguably worse than reading the book on your own. Ye goes incredibly slow through class and doesn't explain any ideas or do any examples. Personally, I just take notes from the textbook instead. Avoid taking his class if you can.

There is one midterm and final in this class, but I found myself feeling lost on the material at any point during the class. He is a nice professor he just does not lecture very well, as he reads straight from the textbook. Exams are not hard at all but just be prepared to teach yourself (even though the material is not that confusing).

learnt nothing from his lectures, went to clas and did LOTS OF SELFSTUDY. final exam 50% but both midterm and final werent hard at all. just do all of his recommended practices and u will be fine

Barely covered half of the material for the course, and did a poor job with the material he did cover. Other reviews have testified to his poor organization, but what I'd like to add is the extent to which he failed to teach half of the course. In math 6A right now and needing to catch up on content that should be review.

Easy A. Your grade primarily consists of the midterm and final(50%). Both were very easy and gave tons of partial credit. Fitting for the amount Ye actually taught. Lectures are very disorganized and dull, primarily proofs and variables, very small amount of real examples. Thick accent. Skipped a little under half of the material needed.
