Just saw that Jose is teaching 32A again so I'm leaving this review. While it has been a year since I took this class, I can still say that he is the best math professor I've ever had. Take his class if you can.

The GOAT

Loved this class and professor. Was scared to take multivariable but Yanez made it manageable, and would remind us to breathe before tests. He clearly cared, and I felt the midterms and final were fair. Highly recommend.

Yanez is the goat. Absolutely loved him as my first math teacher at UCLA. His class is manageable, the tests are tough, but fair. The homework is helpful and he is easy to understand. If you are struggling, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS.

Yanez was a very good professor and did a good job of teaching the content. The class was challenging, but the difficulty was expected. If you pay attention, learn the content, and do the homework, an A is achievable.

friendly, approachable, straightforward and fair tests, pumpkin outfit, lovely ta's, brilliant man! in yanez we trust.

Professor Yanez is amazing, if you ever see him available for this class TAKE IT (even if it's a morning class and I despise those :P). His lectures are derivative of the textbook yet super engaging. He also has guided notes that he gives to his students to follow, which was tremendously helpful, letting me spend less time taking notes and more time being engaged in the lecture. Homework is very light, but his suggested problems are highly recommended if you are looking for more practice on hammering in concepts. Though he doesn't give practice midterms, there are plenty of other ways of studying and the midterms aren't hard imo. If you're struggling with problems, Prof. Yanez will be more than happy to go over them in OH. Overall, he's charming, engaging, funny, and dare I say a lil cute :).

He "doesn't believe in cheat sheets" so keep that in mind if that's important to you

I'm not sure if I'm the only person who feels this way. Professor Yanez is a great, helpful, and ethusiastic lecturer. Oftentimes, I have no ideas on how I should prepare and study for his test. I do all his suggested problems after every class. However, I often feels like there are so many types of question that I do not know what to focus on when I'm trying to review everything before class. I'm the kind of person who would go to TA's office hour quite often, and go to Prof Yanez's last office hour before the midterm. However, none of my tests were at least A-. Prof Yanez is great, but I have no idea on study strategy for his test.

very organized class and the professor posted amazing notes after each class! attendance was all optional and very little homework. the test questions were all very fair. in general, definitely choose this professor if you have the option to!!!
