Quarter: Winter 2024
Grade: N/A

Although she somewhat reads off of the textbook for lectures, her tests were fair and the problems were relatively easy. The homework load is reasonable and her partial credit policy is generous.

I took the advice of the students who took this class in the quarter before me and didn't go to class. Tests were definitely fair, as she posted recommended questions beyond the hw every week that mirrored the tests very well. Also she posted practice exams to study with. The no partial credit thing must've been a really mean TA for 2023 Fall quarter, because for my class I got partial credit on my exams. Read the textbook, everything you need to know is in there and she won't throw curveballs if you study it well.

I'm still in the process of completing this class, but this is just for those considering taking her next quarter. Some of the old reviews are definitely overly harsh. Yeong has learned a lot from her first quarter teaching. Now, the lectures are recorded and all her notes are posted. She also posts note templates ahead of time which is very useful for those taking notes digitally. During lecture she teaches by filling out the templates, which is a good pace for taking notes. Homework is 10 problems a week and very managable. Midterm 1 was very similar to the practice test, I'd say easier than homework, and it was fair and relatively easy in general, with the average being around an A-. She is still sometimes not confident enough in lecturing and makes mistakes, but it's understandable for being a new professor.

Yeong is not a bad prof. She teaches from the book, and people are complaining about that, but honestly the book is good so the overall learning experience was fine She keeps her topics organized and is a decent lecturer. Sometimes she stumbles when asked questions, but it's not that bad. People are complaining about the final, but the "hard problems" she literally taught in lecture the week before. We spent a whole lecture on this "challenge" problem that showed up on the final. If you pay attention, you will be fine. The midterms are light, its literally just hw problems. If you need help, go to the goat professor leonard.

Prof Yeong is a pretty standard lecturer, not too engaging but gets the points across. If you are ever confused in lectures, a quick look at the textbook will clear things up since most of her examples are taken directly from it. The class is decently organized and I think many of the other reviews are unnecessarily harsh. The final was harder than anticipated but she did offer an extra credit question on it for 10 points. I believe she did curve the final grades after the final exam so that there were a larger amount of A's, then B's and C's. All in all, a pretty average experience, but the class & professor is not as bad as others make it out to be.

Quarter: Fall 2023
Grade: A

Never went to class or discussion, they were useless. Reading the textbook chapters and understanding/doing well on the HW was enough to prepare for exams, so I liked the simplicity of what I had to do to be successful in this class. Overall though it was an extremely meh experience with a pretty inadequate professor, but if you like individual study I would recommend taking this class and never going, and you’ll do just fine. Her practice tests are very similar to the actual tests which is nice. I think most reviews are overly harsh because the professor just lectured word for word from the textbook (but somehow poorly lol), so if you cut out the middleman you should be just fine.

Wern Yeong does not actually teach you anything. She merely just reads off of the textbook and jots things down quickly and messily on the board, but is terrible at answering questions and does not make the material digest-able whatsoever. It's impossible to actually learn anything from her lectures. If you take this class, be prepared to learn all of your material through the textbook on your own time.

Her tests were also insane. Midterm 1 was very difficult. And THE FINAL was out of this world. It was so insanely difficult and such a terrible reflection of everything we were expected to learn this year. Do not take a class with Yeong if you can avoid it.

Wern is a very nice professor. She was new this quarter, and it showed in her lectures. However, she did teach the material pretty well and was open to students' feedback.
