Comment:

Only take this professor if you know how to teach yourself or plan on going to a tutor for everything. He genuinely is a nice person, but as a professor I do not feel that his teaching style is for me. His teaching is kind of dry. He sometimes would confuse himself and in my opinion that should not happen in a math class. Great guy though!

Comment:

If you have no problem teaching yourself, this class should be fine for you. Otherwise, please do yourself a favor and don't take him unless you want to fail. He encourages students to ask questions but when they ask, he gives off the vibe of (and actually says) "you should already know this... otherwise, you shouldn't be here."

Comment:

Professor Yarmish really know what he is talking about but does not know how to vocally communicate the lessons to the class. Every class you will just do homework problems without having a lecture on the lesson. Half of the times I had no idea what topic we were talking about. He moves too quickly and talks to himself rather than the class. AVOID.

Worst professor you'll ever take. You won't learn anything, and will have to learn yourself on your own time. He gives test that are nothing like the reviews he does the day before the test. Please avoid him at all cost.

You're whole class average relies on 3 tests. He does give extra credit if you put some homework on the board. He doesn't really teach, just does problems from the book. Most of the class fails the tests.

Comment:

I would avoid this professor overall. The class itself is easy if you teach yourself from the Book (or YouTube also). He is offended when questions are asked. Messes up his own equations and gets confused at times. "Talks to himself" rather than teaches to the class. No mandatory homework. Little class participation allowed. 3 tests. Xtra credit.

Comment:

Took his class last year and received an F and I'm certainly not that type of student. Grading policy is extremely unfair, even if you do the work expect to receive maybe a C. Do not take.

Comment:

If you have taken the course before in high school or are great at math then you might not find this class much difficult, but for others it will be. He expects you to already know the math. The class is boring. All he does is write problems on the board and solve them by himself. There are only 3 exams. He is a horrible professor.

Comment:

It's very hard to follow him, and can be confusing. But is really willing to help if you show interest. Tests are exactly the same as class and homework problems. His grading criteria is clear, so if you go to class and do the homework, you will be just fine. Avoid taking him if you are not good at maths and you are not interested

3 grades in the class. 2 test both 25% and a final 50%. Everything's easy if you know pre-calc but you actually have to put your own time into this class. He doesn't motivate you at all it's kinda of sad, really smart prof but not worth taking. If you know math you could just show up on the test days and pass. Not worth taking.

Comment:

Prof. Yarmish does not make passing easy. He doesn't do notes, only does problems from the homework. While this sounds okay, you don't actually get a chance to understand what he is doing. He does not explain anything well, and gets mad/frustrated when no one knows what is going on. His tests are impossible to ace, no matter how hard you study.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I failed & I've passed basic math (A-) at another university where credits didn't transfer as well as microeconomics (B).. He doesn't explain clearly, moves fast, doesn't let you use calculators, and he's rude! He also gives no supplemental materials and only gives 3 grades! 1 is the midterm and 1 is the final! STAY AWAY

DO NOT by any means take this class. If he is your only option, push the class off for another semester. He is very rude to students and could not care less about their success in his class. There are only two tests and the final. I got a 94 on my first test and did poor on the others and barely passed his class. I even went to tutoring. Terrible.

Comment:

In the beginning, the clarity of lectures is okay, but in the end he is confusing as hell. Tests are easy-peasy, since they're basically the reflection of homework. It is better for you if you do the hw. You can receive extra credit on every session(DO THE HW!). Prepare for the tests, do the homework, study and you get an easy A.
