MATH5C . Ye R 12 Years Ago

i would try to take another prof if you can. he is difficult to understand and often pays no attn to the class to see if they are following. you really have to pay extreme attn and ask questions and tests are insanely hard. he curves favorably though

MATH5C . Ye R 12 Years Ago

just completely bombed that final. it was even harder than the midterm. hw is webwork and not too bad... exams are super difficult versions of the relatively easy concepts covered in the class. he intentionally makes the exams longer than is possible because he curves.

MATH5C . Ye R 13 Years Ago

Only thing he does in class are trivial examples and examples from book. Pray you don't have him.

MATH5B . Ye R 14 Years Ago

Bad just plain Bad teacher....independent study and/or CLAS with Jesse/Alex is a must. uses problems/exams from previous years so use google.. allowed any size notecard on final so I used a poster: like half the test was on my notecard lol

MATH5A . Ye R 14 Years Ago

He is one of the worst teachers at UCSB. He is very incomprehensible....have the time I am trying to figure what he is saying rather than actually comprehending the material. The midterm is pretty easy, but he made the final impossible. Everyone was there the whole three hours and even the TA's said it was one of the worst finals they had seen.

MATH5B . Ye R 15 Years Ago

His lectures can range from pretty good to not very helpful at all, but I recommend going to his lectures anyway as some of the things he does in lecture are likely to end up on his tests. Gave 25% worth of extra credit points on the midterm. Really loves critical point problems. Final was harder but curves the class.

Vague prof who jumps around in the book, go to 'pauls math notes' on the internet, that website saved me in the class, the book and the prof imo were not too helpful

MATH5B . Ye R 15 Years Ago

Horrible, horrible lectures. Completely mislead the entire class this quarter on the material that would be covered on the final. Had an amazingly easy midterm. Class average was a 90/100. Final was insanely difficult as the material mainly consisted of the last two weeks of class that was very weakly covered. Should have spentmore time with topics

Ye does not connect well with students. His class notes are useful and he is understandable, but his homework and tests are generally harder than what he personally presents. CLAS definitely recommended.

MATH5B . Ye R 16 Years Ago

The first time I had him in 3C (i think) he was very hard to understand and i retook the class... but after having him again in 5b i realized you should just read what he writes instead of listening to his jibberish... tests are easy (THANK GOD!) though lots of hw.

MATH34 . Ye R 16 Years Ago

Horrible professor!!! You can't understand anything he talks about in class and his language in totally different from normal language. He gave partial credit for his midterm but for his final he changed his mind and didn't give partial credit at all!! You definitely have to take CLAS for this class its will be the only way you understand the topic

MATH5B . Ye R 16 Years Ago

Ye does not connect very well with students - I learned far more from CLAS and the TA than I ever did from lecture. Assigns TONS of homework, often too much to finish (and its only worth 10% of your grade). While he does have an accent, his English is perfectly understandble. Tests arent TOO terrible, but midterm & final are 30 & 60% of your grade

MATH34B . Ye R 17 Years Ago

Great mathematician, bad educator. Does not speak in language of students, definitely does go on tangents that are irrelevant to class material.

MATH5B . Ye R 19 Years Ago

With CLAS, this class was a breeze, his tests were fair and non-trivial. Do the homework to understand the subject and you are on track to getting a good grade in the class.

MATH122B5B . Ye R 19 Years Ago

Dr. Ye is extremely bright and seems to be good at problem solving however uses a high degree of mathematical sophistication in his proofs which leaves many lost. He is extremely lazy(never collected homework cause he didn't want to grade) and is unapproachable outside of class however very polite. Only gave 15 min of office hours each day.

5B . Ye R 19 Years Ago

I thought previous comments about Ye were somewhat unjustified, or maybe he's changed his ways. Possibly he teaches 5B better than 34A. In any case, his tests were definitely not unreasonable, and he is enthusiastic about the material. Contrary to previous comments, his English is fine. Be warned that about 60% of your grade depends on the final.

MATH34A . Ye R 20 Years Ago

worst teacher i have had. He is hard to understand boring. He goes off on tangents about a problem for an entire lecture then doesn't put it on any of the tests. Lecture does not prepare you for tests and he does not communicate well. Avoid this guy!

MATH3C . Ye R 20 Years Ago

The class shouldn't be as difficult as he makes it for some people. Cares less about the students than any other professor

247 . Ye R 20 Years Ago

He is not so bad as many wrote. He is honest and polite, at least. His feeling of students is poor, I agree. There were about five students in the class, but he spoke if he were in front of one hundred not bothering if students followed him.

Worst teacher ever, no wonder he doesn't pass out teacher evaluation forms. Tests are totally off the wall.

MATH34A . Ye R 20 Years Ago

The class in not that hard, especially if you can learn on your own. Ye is hard to understand but the tests weren't too bad.
