She is a very nice person, and cares a lot about her student. However, she is very hard to understand and she is not good at giving examples for problems. She reads off of a card and that is all, she does nothing else other than what is on the card. For a Calc 1A class, she made it way too complicated.

She really is a super nice person. She grades fairly and makes her lectures entertaining for the entire class. Homework isn't too heavy but Pearson is a horrible homework program that should not be used (It's not her fault because it's up to the math department but still). My one grievance is she isn't very flexible if you're sick during a test.

Prof. Yeh explains the concepts very well in class and covers all of the types of problems you will do on the homework and on quizzes/exams. The course can get more difficult as it progresses, especially toward the end, but she is very generous with grading and her quizzes are not bad at all. Definitely recommend.

So terrible! I took her course because everyone was praising her so much. The material while ok was ineffectively taught, and she's an incredibly tough grader. It was a waste of time to attend lecture because it never helped with any tests. To save my gpa, I was forced to withdraw from this class and ended up wasting my time and money

Literally the easiest grader I've ever had in a math class. Some people, like the review directly below this one, are low key lost. Take her for Calc 1B, you won't regret it.

Professor Yeh was amazing! Calc 1 can be pretty hard but she explained things in a way that made a lot of sense. There were quizzes every Friday but they were not bad. Gave a lot of partial credit and really wants her students to succeed.

She is a awful teacher. She doesn't tell you what is on any of the quizzes so you just have to guess. She wont help you if you are sick or falling behind. She also hasn't been in the U.S for more than ten years so her accent is very strong which makes lectures almost impossible to comprehend. If you are not naturally good at math I do not recommend

I took her class because I saw she had a 5/5 on RMP. She is funny and does convey material well, but her exams and quizzes are the problem. She provides study guides but some of the concepts on the study guides aren't even in the exam or is transferrable- basically wasting your time. People mention she gives partial credit but it's barely ever 1/2.

Great professor, some lectures were hard to understand but if you utilize the office hours and outside help you will do fine. Partial credit on the exams and quizzes was given (with relevant work). Overall I would take her again for calc 2 if she taught it.

It's calc so if you've never been introduced to higher math, it's going to be hard. But Ms. Yeh really cares about her students' success. Even offers bonus credit occasionally. Fairly standard pulling problems from a math textbook. Does everything online on Pearson. She explains concepts in a very digestible manner. Does have an accent, but is ok.

This teacher is terrible. It is almost like she has children here and only wants them to do well. The quizzes and tests given are on fully different topics than what she teaches. Do not take her. I would rather stare at paint dry than this!

Professor Yeh is the best. As someone who has not always enjoyed or succeeded in math, Professor Yeh is very good at explaining and solves lots of example problems during lecture. She is happy to answer any question you have and is accessible outside of class. Calculus can be pretty difficult, but she does her best to explain the topics.

She does an amazing job explaining new concepts to make sure you understand in class. The homework is usually a bit more complex than classwork, and quiz is a couple problems with concepts tied in together. She will go over a homework problem or two for the week. If you don't pay attention or work on the example problems you will fail.

She's an amazing professor, but her exams and quizzes are really hard the HW doesn't relate to what we do in the class it's 10 times harder if you're planning to take her course, stay on top of the material Don't let things pile up because the material is really hard So stay consistent and give yourself enough time to review everything regularly

One of the best professors in the math department. She makes it make sense. As someone who is studying to be a teacher she is an inspiring educator that knows how to explain hard topics in simple ways. She cares about all of her students and makes an effort to check in with you at the begining of class. Very responsive via email and always availabl

This class made me enjoy math again. Lots of homework, but the quizzes are only 1 or 2 questions and the exams are not that hard and have extra credit. I've also seen her give extra credit to students who participate and bring up good questions in class. She's super sweet, bought our whole class donuts one day, and cares about her student's success

The only two things are that the professor does have an accent, which doesn't really matter to me, but the homework takes up a lot of time. Otherwise, this was a great class that helped me a lot.

Not because of or related to her accent, she's not an effective teacher. Kind woman, but her lectures are unstructured, her explanations are vague, she has trouble comprehending questions. I went to another teacher's office hours and got a much more easily understandable lesson, and the teacher seemed surprised at everything our class had missed.
