I'm not sure if I'm the only person who feels this way. Professor Yanez is a great, helpful, and ethusiastic lecturer. Oftentimes, I have no ideas on how I should prepare and study for his test. I do all his suggested problems after every class. However, I often feels like there are so many types of question that I do not know what to focus on when I'm trying to review everything before class. I'm the kind of person who would go to TA's office hour quite often, and go to Prof Yanez's last office hour before the midterm. However, none of my tests were at least A-. Prof Yanez is great, but I have no idea on study strategy for his test.
very organized class and the professor posted amazing notes after each class! attendance was all optional and very little homework. the test questions were all very fair. in general, definitely choose this professor if you have the option to!!!
I highly recommend this professor for Math 32A. He is an extremely good lecturer and you can tell that he really understands the material both conceptually and mathematically. All the lecturers are recorded so you don't need to necessarily be in-person but it really helped me focus when I attended the lectures because he's so passionate about teaching. He makes sure to explain all the concepts/equations both geometrically, conceptually, and mathematically so as long as you're keeping up and answering questions the course shouldn't be too difficult. He's extremely helpful during office hours and my TA (Adam) was also very knowledgable and contributed to my success in this class. There are two mandatory homework problems each week, which don't take long, and a few suggested problems that you can solve for extra practice. The professor doesn't have separate practice midterm questions, but the suggested problems should be enough practice to help review. I would always just solve all the suggested problems the day they were assigned because it helped me ground the material in my brain and ask any follow up questions during OH. The midterm and finals were both relatively easy and extremely straightforward. They're just like homework problems so as long as you keep up you should be fine.
Overall I thought this class was very fair. The test questions are similar to the homework and he gives you all the numbers straight up, no word problems. I got a C on the first midterm but was able to pull my grade back up to an A after the second midterm and final. He also can drop your lowest midterm to be only 3% of your grade which is very helpful. Prof. Yanez is also a very clear lecturer. I found that doing the homework right after lecture helped me retain the information best. I'd also highly recommend doing the suggested problems because even though they aren't required they are very similar to what will be on the exams.
Amazing professor! I'd take him for all of my math classes if I could.
-He explains things very well and is happy to clarify things in class. He is also always happy to help in office hours and very understanding.
-Has two grading schemes to help you succeed.
-If you understand the homework you should be well prepared for the exams
-He makes the class very interesting and engaging (I really loved the class and enjoyed the material because of how he taught it)
-Posts his class notes on canvas (attendance not required but I'd recommend)
Yanez is the best! Trust me! he is super fair and not mean at all. the first midterm is super easy, the second is little bit difficult but he gives everyone curve immediately making it no harm. he also offers a second scheme, so if you fail one midterm, it's really ok. He is very fair very very, very nice, he tries his best to help us and explains things clear, also sometimes he is funny
Exams: Very fair and reflect what has been taught. He gives plenty of practice problems.
HW: 6 Problems (4 of which are completeness and 2 are correctness).
Lecture: Engaging and compelling lecturer but sometimes you may have to ask for a clarification which he always kindly gives!
Hard class but made manageable!
Absolute GOAT. Tests and homeworks were very fair and reflected course material well. Had a very good way of intuitively explaining more complicated topics before giving formal proofs. Highly recommend this professor.
