Professor Yordy has class participation with a class of 150 students. He is helpful, knows his stuff, professional, and very friendly. His tests are about real life sitations alot of the time (in business law acc 205) and are sometimes a bit tricky? However, he graded the tests multiple ways with different weights and took the higher grade.

Yordy is a really cool person, but this class is nearly impossible. There is a huge group project and if you get stuck with people who don't do anything, it's a nightmare. He goes really in depth with his lectures. But sometimes he will start talking really fast, so take notes on a computer. The tests are awful. The average grades are a D, so study

Yordy is a really exciting, humorous teacher who takes all his examples from his own real life experiences as a lawyer. He makes the tests for the ACC205 classes, so if you're in his class you'll see similar examples. It's not an easy class, there's a lot of memorizing involved, and a huge group project. But he made it very interesting and fun.

Majority of the class grade relies on a group project that lasts the entire semester. If that puts you off, don't take this class.

Professor Yordy was by far my favorite. He had amazing lectures that were so fun to attend. He also takes the time to learn everyones names. His homework is 2-3 times a week and shouldn't take more than 30 minutes per assignment. His tests are difficult but if you study it's not too hard. If you do the extra credit it will be an easy A if you work.

Professor Yordy is one of the strongest professors I've had so far! He is engaging and leads class discussions well. I did not love the readings, but Yordy made up for that with his character. The case studies take a lot of time and preparation, but overall were not that difficult once you had the information needed.

Overall a good professor and relatively easy class, however if you are someone that has a very busy schedule that sometimes requires you to miss class don't expect him to be understanding what so ever. There is a lot of extra credit but again its hard to do if your schedule is very full.

Yordy is very funny and caring. Prepare to actually read the textbook cause almost 90% of class time is spent discussing the readings. No exams, just some case analysis essays but overall very easy class.

Professor Yordy has really good lectures that keep you engaged with the coursework but the quizzes and exams weigh heavily on your grade. Even thought the exams are online, they are very textbook heavy and almost never relate to his lectures. If you want to do good in the class focus on the textbook and not too much on the lectures.

This class was one of the most boring lectures. He enforces a no phone/laptop distractions to make him feel like people are listening. No one is. This guy just loves to yap and is agonizing having to sit through an hour of this guy. The hw and exams were easy to gather info on (hint hint wink wink). Its an easy enough credit but god is it boring

Professor Yordy was one of the best professors I have had. He made his lectures very engaging and I always enjoyed his personal stories. My biggest advice for anyone taking his ACC205 class is be ready to do a lot of homework at the start. Even though business law is a tough class, Professor Yordy made it much more enjoyable!

Professor Yordy is an incredible professor to take! He truly cares about his students (especially ones that show an effort to learn and participate in class). The class itself COULD be seen as more on the difficult side, but if you do everything you should be doing, his lectures and engagement will make it worth your while, 100%. :)

Kind of a hard class, but he does give extra credit and tests are online. Yordy is pretty funny and makes the lectures interesting. The textbook is really helpful and so is the homework. Workload is not very heavy.

Really good professor and I enjoyed having him. He's strict without being overly cruel but that way, you can have clear structure and there are no surprises. He is pretty strict with IPhone usage which is, in my opinion, very respectable. If you want to succeed, in class it really isn't that hard. Read the chapters and study lecture slides.

Yordy is a super solid professor who is knowledgeable about and passionate about what he teaches. A lot of reading is necessary for this class, but it is very helpful to comprehend the concepts. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to take Professor Yordy he is accessible, kind, and a genuinely good teacher.

I liked Professor Yordy as a person, I just don't think his class was for me. I found it incredibly boring and the only time I wasn't bored is when we would get sidetracked. No disrespect to Yordy in the slightest, this class was just of no interest to me. There are a few group projects so make friends in the class if possible.

Yordy is great. Really fun and knowledgeable. My only issue with the class was the structure. HW is worth nearly 50% of your grade. With it being weighted so much, I would've liked the assignments to show up in Canvas. Yordy does mention whats due it's just a little hard to stay organized bouncing from platform to platform. Other than that 10/10.

If you're deciding between taking ACC205 with Yordy or Mitchell, take it with Yordy. He keeps lectures engaging and entertaining. The content isn't "hard" per se, you just actually have to study. However, Yordy does give off the vibe of a high school history teacher who's also the basketball coach, so draw what assumptions you will from that.

I loved professor Yordy, I am a construction mgmt major and he still kept things very interesting for me when I usually get bored in these classes. Better than any of the other business classes I have taken at NAU. Actually got to know and interact with students as well which I appreciated a lot. As long as you study for exams you will do fine.

Yordy is very outgoing and loves to connect with his students. Attendance is mandatory for your grade but you have the option to take "PTO" days. He gives lots of opportunity for extra credit, but you MUST read the textbook if you want to pass the class. The exams are pretty challenging if you don't.

Dr. Yordy is the best professor in the FCB. He cares for his students unconditionally and is very personable and funny. Having him in both ACC-205 and ACC-340, he is fair grader and the hw is relevant to lectures. Very accessible outside of class and is always willing to go above and beyond if you make the effort to get to know him.

Although attendance is not mandatory, missing classes can set you so far behind in any assignments or tests. You have three days that can count as "sick days" where you can still earn credit for the day you missed. Professor Yordy is strict on technology use. If it is not class-related, put it away. As long as you do the work, you should be fine.

Professor Yordy is an awesome guy. All you have to do for this class is show up and you will basically pass. There are three projects two of which are partner projects but they are not too difficult and if you put a little effort into them you will get a passing grade. The vast majority of the points are from in class assignments so show up.

Attendance and tests are a huge part of your grade. I have mixed feelings about Yordy, he was a good professor however I found him unkind and more concerned about calling people out than just giving a consistent lecture. Good class, learned a decent amount, but unlikely I would recommend him to anyone else.
