I do not have a problem with Ye`s accent or his constant use of the word `ok`(over 300 in 1.5 hrs.) His teaching is horrible although he seems to be very intelligent. He does not believe in answering students questions. He also does things like lecture

Arbitrary regrading of midterms, depending on how much you b*tch. No set grading scheme, does/will NOT listen to students` objections, and has TA`s who cannot count. Seriously, 100-37=44? This, in an advanced stats class. Gimme a break.
