I got sick a few times during the semester, each time she helped me to catch up. She went over everything after the class and stayed with me until I got it. She is very kind and care for each student. Just show up in class, do the homework, answer some questions during the class and earn your A. Great class and teacher.
Took this 4-week summer class, it was a pretty easy class but super fun. Because it was only 4 weeks, she condensed the class to only 6 chapters and didn't give us a midterm or final. It was all discussion based. 10 out of 10.
She skips her classes often, she gave us homework and asked us to prepare to present to others but she didn't give us chance to present which made me disappointed. Her lectures were easy, but she made the test very hard. So I felt like I took the test that I didn't learn before. But she gave us many ways to get extra points so I could get an A.
I took many of her classes and loved every single one of them
amazing lectures. very clear on grading assignments, overall easy course and ghreat Professor. love love Professor yahya.
Very helpful. She cared about our understanding of the content and curriculum and encouraged group work in class.
