Excellent professor! The lecture is clear and the grading is easy.
Take all your classes with Zetian he is SO easy!
He is kind and a very easy grader. Take the class for an easy elective.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
6A all the tests and homework were online. Always my King. Love him. Bless his soul.
EXTREMELY easy prof. No exam whatsoever. 1 HW per week, with HW answer literally at the end of textbook used in class. I took this class as a fun GE (as a physics major) knowing that he wouldn't add too much to my course load, but if you're a math major that need a rigorous hyperbolic geometry foundation, he is probably not your best choice.
Choose him if you want an A. Online midterm / final. All the notes and lectures are available on canvas.
Wasn't the best professor at teaching but gave exams that were exactly as the practice test making it very easy. I appreciated the easy A but if you want to learn everything fully, might not be the best.
A laughable class: All exams completely online and multiple choice, and even the lectures and notes were uploaded. Impossible to fail and a relief after previous math classes. I rarely went to lecture, but he seems like a super nice guy with lots of office hours. If you really want to master the content and learn every detail, choose someone else.
YYDS!
Such an amazing 6A class. Both midterms and final completely online, weekly quizzes also online (and tell you the correct answers after 1st attempt, even though you get 5 attempts). Doesn't take attendance. He is a confusing lecturer and hard to understand, but I just signed up for CLAS and never went to lecture ever. Got an A+ so easily.
His practice exams are almost exactly like midterm/final except for one or two questions on them. Because of this I was fine with skipping lectures and then just reviewing the material that is on the practice exams. We were allowed front and back cheat sheets for exams and he didn't care what you put on them. It was an easy A if you practiced.
This professor is pretty nice and passionate. The exam is easy if you do the sample midterms carefully. I really recommend this.
Cool guy
Heavy accent, boo hoo get over it. He is not that bad, especially when compared to other math professors here. The main ones complaining abt yan prolly are that one econ major friend you have who parties every weekend, and even they got a good grade prolly. Just study the study guide and do the hw, you will be fine.
The exams are easy,and the homework load is very low. He is a very good teacher!
Best teacher ever, 100% recommend if you are taking Math 3B, grading is very clear, quiz is reasonable. Professor Yan yyds.
