Comment:
Took his class during COVID. I faced a lot of obstacles that were out of my control during this semester. I had explained to him in an email but he did not make any accommodations, not that he was supposed to. I lost two close family members and found it difficult to concentrate. Tests are difficult and homework is done in groups. 1 group project.

There are 2 homework's, 3 lab assignments, 2 quizzes, and 2 exams. He is tough grader and no one in the class gets any decent grade. His lecture is pointless which you might as well buy the book (CCENT) and read it off on your own. If you're planning to graduate next semester or so, avoid taking this class at any means necessary b/c he'll ruin it.

Comment:
Lectures are bland and don't help much at all, so you basically should get and read the textbook. He doesn't curve anything. This guy just cares and assumes that we supposedly cheat on HW assignments *ROLLS EYES*, even though it's just research because there's no helpful resources available to help for any assignment. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, CANCEROUS.

His tests are hard. He really makes you work hard. I think he has a solid personality but the lectures might be dry for some people. Other than that he is a good professor. 4 assignments, 1 group project, one midterm and one final. My best advice is to get a good group and make friends.

Legit goes over a slide for 15 minutes and talks about irrelevant things that can get pretty boring. Assignments are bland and no resources are available to help. Don't even get me started on the test, jesus.....

This guy TRICKS students! He makes the questions very tricky and makes his best to confuse people. He doesn't care about learning, all he cares about is catching people. Not an honest approach from a professor. I don't recommend him.

Tests are difficult and getting an A is not going to be easy. HW is ok but easy to mess up. Taking notes on his lecture and slides will help. Talks kind of slow with a soft tone and goes offtopic sometimes. Lab & project wasnt too bad. He answers emails and grades very quick. He was always willing to help. Overall, good professor. Recommended. 4/5

Comment:
He is retiring to half time I think, but if you get a chance to take him, you should if you want to learn something. He is a tough grader and also he's fair. It's not an easy A, but if you put any effort in to it, you will at least pass. Group project is short but takes thought. Midterm, final and 4 HW's. Only the lazy have a prob. Don't be scared.

I would recommend finding a good group because it will make the class a lot easier and less time consuming. The professor will help you and I had all emails answered within hours. The grading is all based on class performance so there is a curve! Reading the book and slide will help you on the tests. Taking notes on his lecture is also helpful too.

Comment:
Professor Ye is worst teacher I ever took. His test is ridiculously hard. He doesn't curve the grade at all, not extra credit neither. If I have a choice I wouldn't take him. Someone would say I am a lazy student so I have bad experience but NO. I actually study really hard for this class, but half the class disappear after the break of his class

This will be a difficult class if you've never been exposed to basic networking concepts. Lectures are all based off of power points, so read the corresponding chapter in the text book before class. Assignments include 4 HW assignments, a lab project, and a group project. Tests are fairly difficult, so make sure you take good notes in class.

Majority of the time you are looking at a power point, he does teach but if you dont undertand get ready because tests will be hard, gives out a list of what to study but wont know whats on the exam. Do the project as soon as you can.

Professor uses PowerPoint for lectures, which are clear. You will need the book. Midterm and final are based on the book and PowerPoints. Lab assignment is fairly easy. Knowledge on the topic is required for the group project. Get a good group and you should be fine. Graded assignments are straight forward and grades posted usually within 1 week.

Comment:
His lectures aren't really helpful and almost everything he lectures on can be found in the book. There are 4 homework assignments. A group lab and group project. All of which were fairly easy. The midterm and final were the hardest part of the class due to the fact that he is a very harsh grader. If you want to pass, do the HW and read the text.

4 Group projects, extra credit - student competitions - only 2 win. He reads slides-more content in IS audit class. Final is 30% on more than half of material. He curves, but no clear info. Bad MS office skills-tough class. Evaluations are critical if two mates bad rating u . After census date, you can skip some classes but not a lot.

It's kind of a tough class BUT everything on the exam is from the power point. So go over the Power Point topics and if don't understand a specific topic, go to Youtube or google it. I'm a C Average student but I passed with a B-. The class only seemed hard because the topics were "new" to me but the course actually just teaches basics.

The notion is that he never clears up his grading criteria. When you ask him how he will grade, he just say I curve it. He never cleared up the criteria or else I had gotten B+ at least. There are lots of good, kind, and caring professors around the campus.

The professor bases your group assignments on the peer review your other team members grades you on. If they say you were not helpful then he will adjust your grade even if you did do your portion. PICK YOU TEAM MEMBERS CAREFULLY! YOUR GRADE DEPENDS ON THE REVIEW FROM OTHER TEAM MEMBERS! His lectures are boring, and his exams are not easy.
