118C . Yan Z X 5 Months Ago

Honestly the class was a joke, we just used Rudin but the lectures were just him reading the theorems and telling us to go over the proofs on our own time. The homework was super easy and he gave up part way through the quarter and turned this into a 6A class. It was super easy but you won't be learning anything from any of his classes.

Dude might be a genius, but very dismissive and overall one of the least professional professors I have ever experienced. Class was easy enough but I will never take one of his classes again.

Don't take this course. The professor have an accent so it is hard to understand.

Math113 . Yan Z X 6 Months Ago

I'm absolutely amazed how someone can say so much yet explain so little. Hes smart af but the lectures are all over the place. If you want a solid foundation in this class then prepare to self study.

6A . Yan Z X 6 Months Ago

Super easy, online everything, only learned because of CLAS. I tried going to his lectures but honestly I could not understand him much so I gave up on them pretty quickly (and he would use a chalkboard really far away so you couldn't see what he was even talking about). Easy A, if you want to learn, self study or take the class with another prof.

6A . Yan Z X 8 Months Ago

2 online midterms and online final. Lectures were directly out of the textbook (literally had it up on the projector) but there was no clear pace/was all over the place. Stopped going to lectures the last few weeks because those 8ams were BRUTAL and wasn't gaining anything. Take for an easy A, go to CLAS if you actually want to learn.

6A . Yan Z X 8 Months Ago

HW-30%, Midterms(2)-25%, Final-25%,Quizzes-10%, Attendence-10% Lectures were all over the place and & there was no clear pacing/organization. Exams were all online, attendance was not taken (points were given to everyone). Gives extensions pretty easily & is very accessible by email. Take if you want an easy A, avoid if you actually want to learn.

Math113 . Yan Z X 8 Months Ago

Although he is an intelligent man he is almost neglectful of students. He did not post reviews for any of the 3 tests and stopped having class a week early for review for the final but provided no materials. He then changed the grading criteria after the final on a whim. class wasn't difficult but he sure is.
