Spring 2020 - I really don’t like him. He posts slides and videos (we use zoom this quarter) way later than I needed. Like he posted Wednesday’s lecture on the next Monday, which is hard for people in different time zone to catch up. That’s why I feel he’s not devoted in teaching. He talked lots of unrelated things in class as well, which made a 50min lecture 80 mins

Spring 2016 - Prof. Yin lectured mostly from slides from the publisher of the textbook; if you can learn well from wordy slides, this class may be for you. The professor was challenging to understand at some times, but the slides and textbook are decent. A full page of notes were allowed for exams. It looks from the grade distribution that the class was curved generously.
