Just saw that Jose is teaching 32A again so I'm leaving this review. While it has been a year since I took this class, I can still say that he is the best math professor I've ever had. Take his class if you can.

The GOAT

great lecturer and gives fair tests with sufficient time. posts notes from before + after lectures, and sometimes has recordings on bruincast. no homework due to funding cuts but his suggested problems are extremely helpful

Goated Professor. His tests were really fair, and the problems on the test are usually a variation of what he has on the notes. Be careful with the conceptual true or false questions. If any question is really hard to solve, lwky jus think hard and ask yourself if Yanez would rlly put that on a test and that usually gives u a answer

Yanez is one of the best professors I've ever had. He's clear, posts the notes online, and is always willing to give a helping hand. He's even willing to help and support people, not just in his lecture, which just speaks to his overall generosity and love for the subject. This was my first math class at UCLA, and I couldn't be more grateful for this fantastic professor.

absolutely loved this class, yanez is so friendly, helpful, and such a clear lecturer. tests were fair, work is manageable. i recommend doing all the practice problems he assigns as they really helped me ground the material and develop a better understanding of what we were doing, especially if you're in a math or math related major/ if you're taking 32b. there are a lot of resources, as the textbook is great imo. 32a is generally not a course you can cruise through and you definitely need to put in the work due to the course content, but yanez makes it fair and as easy as possible given what you need to learn. made me remember why i love math.

Loved this class and professor. Was scared to take multivariable but Yanez made it manageable, and would remind us to breathe before tests. He clearly cared, and I felt the midterms and final were fair. Highly recommend.

Yanez is the goat. Absolutely loved him as my first math teacher at UCLA. His class is manageable, the tests are tough, but fair. The homework is helpful and he is easy to understand. If you are struggling, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS.

Yanez was a very good professor and did a good job of teaching the content. The class was challenging, but the difficulty was expected. If you pay attention, learn the content, and do the homework, an A is achievable.

friendly, approachable, straightforward and fair tests, pumpkin outfit, lovely ta's, brilliant man! in yanez we trust.
