Reviews of professor Jeff Yates

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Yates is wonderfully kind, charismatic, and generous with his time. But his class is completely unrigorous. Midterms are multiple-choice Canvas quizzes. It seems like Yates hasn't reviewed the material in a long time and is just coasting. You are responsible for the students that fail out of UC and CSU programs because they're unprepared.

Super awesome teacher!! So kind and caring!! CS is a tough subject to learn in the beginning, but he is like the perfect starting teacher. Should totally take it. Lectures and labs are super thorough and encourage learning. You can tell he puts in a lot of time in his slideshows and labs.
