Comment:

Professor Yamba is seriously the worst teacher I have ever had! I had him for a online course and anytime I had a problem I would email him and by the time he would email me back the test ended and I would fail the test. I can not stress on how bad of a teacher he is! DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Worst teacher ever. Doesn't answer e-mails for weeks and is rude and unhelpful when he finally does. Avoid.

Comment:

Dr Yamba is BORING. the class is easy, all the tests are online. You do not need to go to class to do well. Yamba would always tell jokes about how much he loves alcohol... so random. Also, he enters EVERYTHING wrong into the gradebook, and when you email him about it, he will NOT respond. try for a different prof.

Comment:

Agreed that he went down hill as the year went on. Not very good about getting back to your emails, not many points in the class so do not miss one of the four in class quizzes. Questions on tests were from the book, sometimes hard to find.

Comment:

Thought the class was going to be good in the begining then it went down hill. Never put anyhitng in the grade book so watch that. He has a way of writing back to emials but never actually answering your question. not much help and extremely frustrating. Go to class and write down the date you did anything and make sure they enter the grade book.

Comment:

I think Yamaba has given up on teaching. In prevvious classes, he's cared somewhat, but this semester I learned absolutely nothing. He refused to tell us the requirements of assignements, was rude and ignorant, and made for and overall awful experience. With good profs like Heim and Mel in the department, why does there also have to be this guy?

Professor is not funny, degrades students and talks bad other professors in college. No respect for this guy. He doesn't TEACH! He needs to join a circus or become a stand-up-comedian.

Comment:

The problem with a Yamba class, is that you really have no idea what's going on. There's no real structure. He gives a lot of powerpoint notes, which many times aren't important. In all of the classes I've had with him, we've had papers (not easy, but not hard), not tests. His defining quality is that he tells countless BS stories.

He is alright. I had took American Politics on-line and he posted the assignments and you were free to work at your pace, which works really well if you have a busy semester and need a filler class.

Comment:

I took his classroom course on American Politics. It was the easiest class I have ever taken in my life. His lectures are all on blackboard, as well as the tests, which are typically about 45 minutes for 20 multiple choice questions. It's an easy A if you do the assignments, and I really like to listen to his stories about Ghana.

Online class--it has to be the EASIEST CLASS EVER! I felt like I was back in my 12th grade American Government class. Quizzes are straight from the book and his lecture notes, there's one discussion board entry, and a final one page essay. Great class-TAKE IT!

Comment:

Take his web courses, period - easy as hekk. Courses in the classroom are a joke. Nice guy, questionable teacher. Tests and such are still online, but in my experience (POS237) you don't use the text and the notes he gives, while important for tests, teach nothing. Take his web courses, but otherwise...

Comment:

Dr. Yamba is very cool and really random. His class wasn't a breeze but all the tests are online and most of the questions were taken out of the book, if you can find them. I would HIGHLY recommend going to class because of the pop quizes, but he donesn't take attendance all that often. All in all it wasn't a bad class.

Comment:

Dr. Yamba's class was probably the worst class I've had yet. He gives pop quizes worth 10% of your grade that you can't make up. He gives online tests, but even when you prove you're answer was correct and his answer was wrong he still refuses to give you credit. Not helpful at all. I learned more form reading the book then I did from his class!

I think that the tests were really hard this semester. A friend recommended the class to me last semester and I had the tests to compare and the tests this semester were far more complicated than last. I think the class sucked!

Comment:

He is a really nice guy, and the class is super easy, the tests come straight out of the book. The only problem with him is he is terrible with calculating your correct grade. So keep up with it and dont' let him tell you that your math is wrong when you know it's right... All of a sudden a 17/20 is a 85% and a 16.8/20 is a 88%! HMMMMM

Comment:

He's an okay teacher, but he's far too complacent. He doesn't answer emails and is relatively unhelpful. The class and material are very easy though. All you have to do is read the book, come to class, and take notes. The tests are pretty easy (though he screws up in grading them a lot). I'd say take him, but don't get too lazy.
