ngl she was my math queen this quarter i really enjoyed her class but maybe that was just me appreciating a prof that was not ebert... n e way but yeah i really liked this class and i think she did better spring than fall bc my friends that had her winter did not like her. her lecture material i thought was good however there were times where she assigned homework that was not covered in class which i thought was kinda annoying but the thought process behind doing it made sense. i would say she does a good job of teaching most things, there is just some stuff you have to teach yourself bc she just won't go over it at all in class. i pulled multiple all nighters for this class also but you 100% dont need to, just dont procrastinate on the homework like i did. also, DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS SHE GIVES ON THE LECTURE NOTES THEY ARE THE MOST HELPFUL THING EVER. also, do the practice tests she gives too bc those are really good practice.
The old reviews make her seem way worse than she actually is. I was initially terrified to take this class, but I ended up getting an A through self studying most of it. As a professor, she's not the best, but there are so many external sources that you can use to learn concepts that are difficult to grasp. Her midterms are definitely fair, just time crunches. With practice, you will breeze through them. Most people complaining are doing so probably because the class itself is difficult. Make sure you solidify every concept and you will be fine. Also, the first half of the class is way harder than the second, so if you do poorly on the first midterm, don't freak out.
I found this class to be very challenging but the past reviews are extremely harsh. It's clear Wern tries her best to make the content understandable, which is difficult considering how this is the hardest lower div math course. She was very understanding about our concerns with the final and ended up curving it pretty generously. I got a C on both midterms and still ended with an A- in the class. The tests can be challenging but they're around the same difficulty as the homework problems. The weekly discussion worksheets were graded by completion and there's 10 HW problems each week, which can take a while to complete but will ultimately help a lot with the exams. I would say to not be deterred from taking her class by past reviews. I was scared too when I first started but after taking the class, I found it really wasn't too bad, especially considering how my math wasn't as strong as a lot of others in the class.
Insanely hard Midterm 1. 8 medium to hard questions in 50 minutes. I feel like I couldn't properly think because of the time crunch and made lots of dumb mistakes. This is unreasonable and unfair, not a true assessment of my learning. Do not take her she literally reads from the textbook and there are times where she will set up the triple integral and then you guys can figure out the rest. This class has put a lot of self doubt in my abilities. In order to pass this class, I had to use a lot of outside resources including Professor Leonard and the Academic Achievement Program. The exams were really hard for me and I wish the final wasn't mostly multiple choice as I usually perform better on finals that have all frqs. The worksheets kept on being ahead of the lectures making them quite a struggle to complete but luckily the TAs were extremely helpful. I wish I had taken this class with a different teacher.
This class sucked. if you take 32b with yeong, you should not be taking other difficult stem classes. i was taking 33a with this class and it was too much for me. 33a was fine, but 32b was just unmanageable especially with the difficult midterms. and omg, the final was crazy.
prof yeong is not very helpful in her lectures as she pretty much just reads off the textbook material and uses the examples straight from the textbook. so basically you have to teach yourself all the material. don't go into this class expecting to understand any of the material from lecture. i took this class fall quarter 2023, and i think the prof was new, so i think that could be part of the reason why she was bad at teaching lol. i heard she's gotten better? like her tests are slightly more fair or resemble a few practice questions. but def take everything with a grain of salt. to be honest, it was also my fault for not putting enough time and effort into the class, but this class is just unmanageable with other mid-difficult level stem classes since it's hard conceptually. if you want to do well on her tests, you have to spend a lot of time practicing problems but not just the ones she gives you in lecture or on the hws, she made her test problems much harder so you would have to do practice for 32b questions on a more difficult level. so it's a pretty big time commitment in terms of studying.
Professor Yeong receives way too much hate. Sure, her lectures are a tad convoluted, but the homework is light work, the weekly worksheets are helpful, and the midterms are completely fair. Also, she has plenty of office hours and drops the lowest midterm score, which is more than I can say for other math professors here.
