Constantly makes mistakes during his lectures and never corrects them. The few that he does correct he doesnt tell you that they were wrong so you dont know why he's erasing the board all of a sudden. Barely whispers when talking, even with the microphone system he uses, which is usually broken. Sidenote: his nipples are always hard. Always.

Horrible teacher. Made so many errors when explaining and test questions were not consistent with hw/quizzes. Don't bother going to class, learn from the book.

Great professor. Interesting application discussions relative to topic at hand. Don't miss class.

terrible. if you go to class, you'll get to copy what he writes on the board... examples cluttered with errors. If you don't go to class, you'll at least get an extra hour of sleep in. I cannot emphasize how many errors he makes.

Yohe is my far the best mathematics instructor in the department. And that is coming from an Engineer. He is extremely knowledgeable, Helpful, Understanding, and Excitable. He also has an eclectic wardrobe.

Easy class. If you just do the homework and webwork you'll be fine. plus dr. yohe is really nice and will help you if you only ask.

The previous posts are right on the money. Does not address many questions and often spends way too much time on applications that he never asks about on tests. Not only was the class incredibly easy, but I also feel like I learned enough from Calc III to have a strong basis in it.

Very boring at first, but once you get to appreciate him, he's great. Reminds me of my grandpa. Tries to get inspirational about math and often unreasonably explains physics applications for no reason.

Yohe is the man. If you aren't a tool and go to class, the lectures are very interesting/helpful. It's true that you don't really need to do any of the homework to get an A as the tests are a joke, but there is plenty of room to learn if you put the work in. Yohe is a fine lecturer (although I would recommend not having him at 9 in the morning).

Not a good lecturer, but very helpful outside of class and absolutely hilarious, and perhaps the easiest professor you can have for intro math. You can skip every lecture and still end up with a good grade in the class.

Cleon is the man. His lectures don't help you learn the material because it can all be learned from the book. The purpose of the lecture is not to teach you how to do the problems in the book or on the test but rather as an extension of the material. I think perhaps earlier reviews are quite harsh.

Not only did I not learn anything from him, but I also didn't learn anything from the book. It makes a nice paperweight, though.

The guy is hilarious, but the class is a joke. He talks to the board for 53 minutes and puts everyone to sleep. The tests and webwork are really easy, which means you really could just learn everything from the book. At the beginning of the semester all the hall's seats were filled; now maybe 25% of them are filled.

Please do not believe any ratings posted for yohe. Yohe's awesome! People who were not happy with his class are those who never bothered to read/work for his class.

here is the deal on yohe: you never have to go to class if you don't want to, but if you feel up for it, you will get in a few good laughs. yohe shows a genuine passion for the stuff he is teaching, and it can be pretty amusing. "A" possible w/out ever going to class.

Calculus III can be completely learned from the book. Yohe's lectures are often ramblings on topics which are rather irrelevant to the material required for the tests.

He is pretty funny and rather easy, which is nice, because he doesn't give ridiculous problems to solve on tests.

This guy is absolutely hilarious. You can tell he goes home and does math problems for fun while his wife complains about how he has more intimate conversations with a chalkboard than he does with her. You definitely don't need to go to lectures but I strongly recommend it because every once in a while he will wear aviators to class and it rocks.

Nice guy, kinda makes you laugh without meaning to. Impossible to follow in class, but just do the problem sets and you will do well on the exams, which are fairly easy. You will not learn very much

OMG YOHE IS SOO AWESOME HES THE MAN U ALL NEED 2 TAKE A COURSE WITH HIm!!!11!!

omg I had never been so lost in a class before. Seriously, I learned more from the book itself :S

In class, Professor Yohe can be a little boring. Fortunately, I'd already taken Calc in high school. However, outside of class he is extremely helpful, readily accessible, and very understanding.

His lectures were awful- an hour of him writing on the board, talking into the board, and writing in an unreadable manner. He kept trying to relate Calc 1 to physics. His exams were extremely easy- with most questions almost exactly like the homework questions. Avoid his classes!!!!

THIS GUY IS TERRIBLE! If you can possibly avoid any of his classes... do.

Kept trying to make a calc class more about physics applications than the pure mathematics of it all

This guy is awful. You can't understand what he's doing and he just talks to the chalkboard the whole time. He was the only Calc 2 prof available for spring '04, but if there were any others I would have switched to another section.

Difficult because it was hard to a)want to GO to his class and b)stay awake once there. His drawstring pants everyday were hot. good lord, take from Apfel.
