The Fall 2024 iteration of the class was well paced (based on the Fall 2023 lecture notes the professor uploaded). The lectures were engaging - every concept was explained with clear examples. Furthermore, all lectures were recorded and available always. The professor encourages participation and is very friendly and patient. The professor is very reasonable wrt deadlines and hw drops and the overall workload (hw assignments) were of reasonable length and difficulty. The midterm exam was particularly tricky, but the final was very fair. All tests are curved, so if you pay attention to the lectures, you should at least get an A-. Contrary to what the other negative review tells you, this is a class that you SHOULD take with Prof. Yang, and most definitely NOT with Prof. Diggavi.

Lectures weren't that great, but Professor Yang cares about his students and the material is interesting. Definitely not as bad as other review says.

Do not recommend it at all!
Awful explanation, no slides, no recording! I did not understand what he is trying to tell. Not only me, other also failed to get his point.
Exams are extraordinary hard, the average was 65/100.
