Comment:

Professor Yablon is very disorganized in his online class. Assignments and other things are either difficult to find or don't make sense. He doesn't respond to messages quickly so don't expect him to be helpful when you need it. His online discussions require a lot of reading, as well as his papers with little-to-no time to complete all together

Comment:

I highly recommend you take English 101 with professor Yablon. The class was not difficult, but you can easily fall behind if you lack time management skills. There are four major essays you will have to submit; narrative, exemplification, literary analysis and a research paper. All assignments are due by end of the of the semester.

Take any of his classes! He is not an easy A though. You're going to have to work for it, but he is a very caring professor, he will help you on improving your essays if needed and give you positive feedback (even when he is correcting some of your issues) you wont regret taking his class!

I highly recommend this guy! He really has a sense of understanding for his students! He gives the opportunity for you to revise your papers and quizzes. This professor is an extremely tough grader however, if you review the modules on the syllabus and you pay attention to his lecture, you shouldn't have a problem.

Comment:

Worst English class I have ever taken! This is like an online class mixed with a regular in class course. Way too much work to keep up with! Almost if attending two English classes at the same time! Very unorganized and all over the place. His lectures are a waste of time for he spends 2/3 of it talking about himself and his early years. Pls AVOID!

Prof Yablon is the best professor I have had at LAVC! He is so passionate, kind, and motivating. Basically everything you could ask for in a teacher and more. His assignments are so interesting and he grades very fairly and clearly! Wish i took him in person instead of online he honestly is one of the best professors in this world. TAKE HIM!!!

The best professor I have ever had. He is an amazing professor. Even though it was an online class, but he was always in his office to help us. His lectures were clear and interesting. No stress He takes care of his students. You just need to study. Valley College needs more professors like Brian Yablon. I would take another class with him.

Professor Yablon is the absolute best! He was inspirational, he found a way bring out out my creative writing, and he was just down right fun to interact with. There is A LOT of interaction required, but it's worth it. There's also a lot of reading, but it's enjoyable. I wish all professors were like him!

Took it in 7 weeks. Little amount of assignment but you need to put in effort. Appreciates a story and message w/in your papers rather than content. Online wasn't bad just make time for it. He's really nice you can tell he cares because he's always open to help you. He was a little intimidating for me, but everyone else found it easy to talk to him

Yablon is like no other English professor I've ever had before. He is incredibly kind and gentle. I'm a very anxious and shy person but i had no trouble approaching him when i needed to. The way he speaks is very soft yet engaging, I'd say it has a feel somewhat similar to Neil Degrasse Tyson. I never felt bored and it was a four hour class!

I actually took this class at Ventura College last semester (Yablon taught an evening class there), and I looked forward to class with this professor, which is rare for me. I am actually studying Computer Science so English isn't exactly my favored subject, but professor Yablon conducted an invigorating class. I highly recommend you take his class.

I took Professor Yablon's English 101 class online. He is super kind and cares about his students passing. He allows you to "fix" your essays. He is very detailed and concise. You must carefully read his instructions. If you do, you will do just fine in his class. He's got a great sense of humor as well.

I took English 28 online during the summer session. I really enjoyed taking the class, Proessor Yablon made the class very interesting. He did give a good amount of work, however he gave plenty of time to complete the work. I would recommend people taking his class.

Comment:

Professor Yablon is an exceptional professor. I wrote about five essays throughout the semester. He assigns take home exams for the midterm and final. This class requires plenty of reading, but what else could you expect from an English 102 class. Everything is very doable. He is extremely nice. I loved his class.
