Winter 2016 - Professor Yin's accent may be a bit of a shock at first, but once you get used to it you begin to see that he is in fact a good professor who knows what he's talking about. He makes himself available for questions in office hours quite often. Yin's lectures are very dry, but he has a quirky personality that you begin to admire the more time that you spend in the class. If strong accents are a no-go for you, I'd say avoid this class. Otherwise, I'd take it again.

Summer 2016 - Right off the bat: if strong accents are a hard limit for you, do not take this guy. Otherwise go to class, do your homework, and you'll be fine. Exam questions where on par (and often times easier) than homework problems. He lets you know what topics will be on exams and post practice exams. His lectures are average, but he is clear and provides plenty of examples. There are no surprises in this class; you'll pass it if you don't blow it off. I also liked the guy; he had a pretty unique personality. The grade breakdown was 20% Homework, 30% Midterm, 50% Final. We only had one midterm, but I think that is because it was a summer course.

Spring 2016 - Prof. Yin lectured mostly from slides from the publisher of the textbook; if you can learn well from wordy slides, this class may be for you. The professor was challenging to understand at some times, but the slides and textbook are decent. A full page of notes were allowed for exams. It looks from the grade distribution that the class was curved generously.
