Unfortunately doesn't post lecture recordings or notes, but there are filled-in versions of notes to follow along with, since he used the chalkboard unlike some of the other 320 professors. Not too hard of a course if you pay attention in lecture and do the homework.",

    "comment": "Prof. Yang clearly has a strong passion for the subject, but his lectures are often difficult to understand. All of his notes are done on the chalkboard and are abstract/proof-heavy, making them hard to follow. Further, the notes covered in class don't completely align with the notes posted online so it helps to come to lecture. ",

    "comment": "Never posts the lectures even during a snow storm. Not a good lecturer at all. Does not use technology and only writes on the chalk board. Needed a microphone and when he got one there was constant feedback, honestly was better when he was just super quiet. Slight accent, not a big deal but is not a great combo with his poor lecturing skills.",
