Comment:
He is an interesting prof. I found him hard 2 understand. Felt like I was going to fail, but ended w/ an A-. Attend class; he uses it as extra credit on tests! Just do the reading in the book and especially his handouts, and you will do fine (no worksheets!). In all honesty, felt like I didn't learn anything new from when I took Econ in HS.

Accent hard to understand. Loves the phrases: "handout, and checkable deposits!" He said handout 108 times during the semester! Nice guy though!

Comment:
Very easily the second most boring class I've taken next to English 15 with John Wills. He goes painfully slow the first half of the semester and then almost too fast the second half. That being said the class is an easy A

Yas is very smart and knowledgeable. At times he is hard to understand, so make sure you sit in the front. You do not have to attend every single class, but he does take attendance, and uses it as extra credit for tests.

He's a great teacher. His tests are from the examples on the board or his sheets. Go to class and pay attention, study a little, and you'll be fine.

I stopped going to class. He just reads out of the book. Heres a tip: just read the chapters before the test and thats the same thing as going to class... and cheating helps too.

Straight-forward: go to class, listen, do 3 problems on the board, and leave. His test questions are of 2 types: ones we did on the board OR the example from the begg. of each chapter...if you cannot get an A in his class it is because you did not show up or did not study before the test. He gives extra credit and is really a great guy.

Comment:
Although going to class is pointless since (except the extra credit) it is basically impossible to understand this guy, but if you read the online notes and the book, the tests are extremely easy, almost right out of the book. If you take the time to read (i did it during his classes) you'll do fine. I got an A.

Pretty easy class, just follow along with him as he reads the book and does examples straight from the book as well. Go for attendance and u get extra points, he repeats himself a lot too. Not too bad a class.

whoever says that Yas is no good, obviously hasnt seen his fan club on thefacebook. this class is sooo easy. its an easy A, and he's a cool guy...though through all this he does speak "engrerish"...its funny to hear him say "money". the class is amusing at least.
