I can't not even explain how bad this teacher is. I can't understand him, he writes like a 2nd grader, he won't tell us how many/when our midterms are. There are no practice test. He puts in no effort to help you do well or learn. I actually like math but I have never dreaded a class more.

I am honestly livid. I took him for 34A last quarter and I will tell you right now you will not learn a single thing in lecture. Nothing he says makes sense because he reads from the textbook but never says what we are working on. EXTREMELY disorganized notes and I teach myself the material. I got a C in 34A, just barely passing.

NEVER take this professor, first day of class I couldn't understand what he was saying because of his very heavy accent and his handwriting is TERRIBLE. You have to rely on yourself to do your own work with YouTube videos or something cause this aint it fr. This man's laptop shuts down every 10 min like bro what the frick. I don't understand.

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.

Literally couldn't understand a single thing he said all quarter. Going to class or not is the same, tried to learn with youtube or the textbook but decided to withdraw and take it with a different professor next quarter. NEVER take class with him. I don't know how he is teaching here.

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.
