I'd definately recommend him. He's extremely fair, kind, generous and truely wants to help you get an A. He works with you to acchieve this. He never reads out of the book, but makes the class interesting by asking real life questions. I totally enjoyed this class!
He is a very nice and open minded prof. , if you are one of those who work well for the class content and still believe that the teacher's attitude is important for an A... then I higly reccomend him.
This professor it excellent..easiest Writing Intensive credit ever!!..he literally tells you what's going to be on the test...so pay attention..the notes that you can print save you from endless writing..hez funny...you'll love him
The coolest and most open minded professor to-date. Crystal clear expectations. Fun to listen to and fun to be in his class, even though it's a 3 hours class, it goes by quick. If you do well, he appreciates you and lets you skip things. Too bad I don't have to take any of his classes, I will miss him.
Great Professor. Lots of Room for extra credit. Easy A. Do the papers, read his notes and you'll be fine. Highly recommended
Quirky and fun. Class goes by quick.Clear expectations and appreciation of your work. A lot of attention, replies to email ASAP. Fair in grading. Terrific human being. I will miss him.
the coolest proffessor in the world verydown to earth person wants to pass everu student! he talks the truth always ansers emails! his test are like open book tests he gives you the real question to the test and you find the anser! all his stories in class are funny and true and if youfailed his class its a shame this is an ez A
Lol I ain't that bright.. But this prof.. Help me become 1.. He Explain well, make jokes wit his funny stories. He cool just obey that all. I went from a F to a "A"
GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!
Had him Saturday mornings. He made it worth it! Cool, funny and intelligent
Keeps things interesting, likes to have fun during the class while being professional. Though you print out about 300 pages of notes, you'll find all you need in them. Textbooks is only needed for the termpaper. (3)100Q exams and tells you what each question is about!
He's good but a little roughy. He makes unessary comments.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE AN A .YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING VERY WELL. I JUST LOVE THE WAY HE TEACHES AND MAKE THE CLASS FUN.
Great professor, the best professor in QCC. If you want to get A, take his class.
I got a B+ in the class, however it was not easy. If you are determined and dedicated to get an A in his class, go for it. He makes the class fun by telling us jokes which is why I loved the class.
Great professor ! If you are determined, you will get an A. He reviews before tests and gives an easy term paper. However, I did slack off a bit that is why I got a B. I highly recommend this class. He is very helpful and interesting!
Funny, helpful professor. His class can be boring sometimes but he makes his students get into it. He gives a THOROUGH review of all his exams, and his term paper is pretty easy too. He's one of those professors who want to see their students do well.
He is a great prof, but his test are hard. 100 questions and someone of them are hard to understand but prof. Yarru is a very fear professor. Take him. Very considerate and motivates his students to do well
I am extremely recommended this professor . If you are looking for A take his class u will get it.
An absolute amazing professor! He wants you to get an A and makes that clear every class! 3 exams, drops the lower score of the first two! You should definitely take him if you have yet to do your writing intensive, EASY A.
Dr. Yarru actually wants to see his students be successful. Trust me when I say that's something ultra rare to find at QCC. He's clear about what he expects out of his students & is extremely flexible with working around each individual student. Take him you won't regret it! He's arguably one of the best(if not the best) professors at QCC.
he always goes off topic. although he does want all his students to get A's
I took him because I thought he would be the easiest. I'm not going to complain about my grade because I actually deserved it. I called his office # the day after the final and he told me I got a B-. A few hours later, my grade becomes a C-, which messed up my "near-perfect" gpa. I'm not saying he's bad. I was just shocked he didn't keep his word.
HE GIVES YOU ALL OF THE TOOLS TO SUCCEED FROM RECORDING HIM IN CLASS TO GIVING YOU ACTUAL NOTES ON THE WHOLE CURRICULUM. HE ALSO KEEPS YOU ENGAGED IN THE CLASS AND KEEPS EVERYTHING LIGHT WITH JOKES.
One of the most helpful teacher at qcc. He is very encouraging. I took this class on a saturday but it was worth it. Great teacher
The Best teacher I ever had take him you won't regret it
Amazing professor and very clear lectures
You will definitly pass his tests because he gives a review for test. There one writing assigment and for that you have to read textbook.
great teacher really makes class fun !
Overall he is a nice guy and wants to see all his students pass. Motivates kids everyday by saying you will all get an A in the class.
Professor Yarru really cares for his students. You get the grade you work and its fair and reasonable. Only midterm and final, short responses and 1 term paper. He gives great study review sheets and enough time to hand in your work, really wants his students pass.
The greatest Professor in Sociology. I enjoy coming to his class every Saturday. I've never miss a class. Very cool and funny Professor. He is very professional and generous. Willing to help you pass and get a good grade. I definitely encourage students to take him.
I thought Sociology would be a hard subject. Professor Yarru made it very so simple for me. I learn so much and at the same time having fun. Professor Yarru is real funny and nice. He explain every question in details, and of you don't understand he works with you. I say if you want to learn and have fun at the same time, definitely take him.
If you want to actually learn and enjoy the class, take MARY DIAZ
Dr. Errol Yarru definitely deserves his doctorate title. He is very knowledgeable, fair, and intelligent amongst many other great things. He Is available to students, and is always willing to further explain and simplify unclear topics. I would definitely take him again for another one of his courses. TAKE HIM!! YOU WONT REGRET IT!!
Sociology 101 is suppose to a easy class. This Professor makes it so difficult, giving 100 questions on a test. No other Professor does this.
This professor doesn't really help much when it came too teaching, actually teaching isn't what he does. Just talks on and on about unrelated things then tells you to study everything for a 100 multiple choice exam. Goes way to hard for a 101 class. Take Mary Diaz, Jane poulsen or anybody else. Got a B in the class but it was so much work
i never have a prof like him. i'm taking him for sociology 101 he is the best prof QCC ever had. make the 3 hrs class fun , make you wanna come to class. throughout the semester he keeps reminds you that you are A students. test easy just record the class and you will be fine . give review before exam. take him you won't regret . easy A
Professor Yarru was awesome and very dedicated to students passing his class. He took the time to give a lengthy syllabus to explain everything. Gave students his cellphone number and made himself available to any needs. Great professor who truly cares!
The clase is very good. He ís a great proffesor
Awesome professor, actually cares about his students and will make sure you pass. NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND.
Great proffessor, I would recommend him to any and everyone. Would definitely take again!
Very Good Professor. I would happily take this professor again. Remember to study using your notes and textbook and it will be an easy course to pass. He has a very good sense of humor and relates this course to the outside world. Excellent Professor Overall.
Great Professor. Gives you the tools you need to pass his class. He is mean once in while, but his explanations are clear.
the best professor you guys can ever choose seriously
He is one of the best Professor I ever had.
Amazing lectures and really wants everyone to pass
insists you download his classroom notes. His notes are very clear and in layman terms - helps you to really understand the terminology used in sociology. Cares very much as to whether you understand and if you need assistance. Replied to every email and phone call. Really cares. The best class I ever took.
he IS THE BEST PROF EVER
Awesome professor ! Works with you well, and cares about how well you do in his class. Very motivational, and pushes for potential. Study his notes and come to class, you will pass.
Great professor, cares about students and does as much as possible to help. Would definately recommend this class
This is the best college professor I've ever have, I am so grateful and lucky for this wonderful and great professor. He teaches you things that you will able to use in your life and opens up your mind to amazing topics. Shows a whole different perspective on topics all around the world. He is a blessing, I'm telling you you'll never forget it NUMA
Professor Yarru is really good, his class is very informative, he gives a lot of homework and gives 3 exams. but he is an easy A. Take him you wont regret it. If you need to boost your GPA take him.
This class is an easy A. Now don't get me wrong there is a lot of work to do but the work is straight forward and just a matter of getting it done. He reviews and simplifies everything so if you read the text book, do the work and attend class it's really an easy but fun and informative A. Just an amazing guy take him, you wont regret it.
A lot of papers, and very disappointed .Do not taking his class.
Professor Yarru is a kind and genuine person who truly wants his students to succeed in his courses and throughout life. Attend class, complete your assignments, and he will work with you on achieving your A - he encourages all of his students to do their very best. Great personality, he will make you laugh. Take him, you will not regret it!
The amount of homework is too much in his class. He will want you to do eight long assignments and a 12-page long term paper before the final. On each test, there will be 100 multiple questions, and to answer them. You need to read his vast notes. You won't truly learn about sociology from this professor. Take someone else.
Worst Professor ever. If you dont want to mess with your GPA dont take him. Because of him my GPA came down. I did all term paper, writing assignments, on exams I got above 90 and I have done an extra credit assignment just for getting A. But not sure on what basis He ended up giving me B+.
This is one of the best professor I ever had! His lectures are amazing . He always inspire his students to aim high.
Part class was on campus and part online. Prof. Yarru is present for his students, always ready to help and as he likes to say it ready to help you get that A. If you follow his instructions you will pass his class. Dont only focus on his notes, do your reading, dont wait last minute to do everything. One of the best prof Ive met at QCC!
HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HIS CLASSES
This was the worst class ever he promised to be lenient during this pandemic and was the OPPOSITE gave us back to back 12 page essays did not specify how many pages for the final did not give a grade for the final but dropped my grade.
Great Professor cares about his students motivates you to do well .
Easy A. Dont get me wrong be prepared to read and do lots of assignments. But ovrall was a good experience and I have learnted alot in this class. He gives everyone a fair chance to get a good grade.
The exam was too heavy. The term essay must be written at least 12 pages and does not include citations. Each exam will give you 15 questions for you to choose 5. You must write at least 2 pages for each question, and the answer must be written in accordance with the requirements given by the teacher, otherwise, no points will be given.
This professor is amazing! He has an excellent teaching style. Just do his work, pay attention, and you will get an A
Okay to be honest, I liked him but online classes may not be for me. the professor made it very clear in the beginning that you start with an A, he also gives you all you need and you can do all the work early (if you have time like that) he was lenient, understanding and to me chill. He will stay on top of you thou, he will remind you to do work
This professor takes the time out of his day to reach out to you if you're missing work, most professors don't do that. He gives you numerous opportunities to hand in assignments, he is also understanding and lenient. Pay attention to the lectures, do your work and you will get an A. Don't take for granted, he tries his best to make sure you pass.
Best teacher I had since my college career. He always there for you and he understands unlike other teacher. Just stay in contact anything you dont understand shoot him a email he reply first. He will make you love this class I promise yall that.
This professor is a complete gem. I was having a very hard time this semester and he completely understood, he was so helpful and compassionate. He allowed me to make up all of my missing work at my pace and gave me very good feedback. I would definitely take him again. He also explains everything in complete detail so you know exactly what to do
I never had a professor that was as organized as Dr. Yarru. His lectures in class were well detailed as well as his note on blackboard. At the beginning of the course he told us ,students , that he was available 24/7 if we had any question. I thought that was impossible, but he proved me wrong. He was always there when I needed him for questions.
he is a very understanding professor who works with you right up to the end to make sure you pass his course
He gave very involved papers that took up most of my time, and it was almost like if I put all my attention on those mandatory papers, I wouldn't get anything else done. Very work heavy. Tends to be passive aggressive. Notes were hard to navigate and filled with rambling.
Dont take this course if it is an elective or if youre taking hard courses because youre in for a lot. I took this course asynchronously and had to write a minimum of 8 page papers some had to be over 10 page at minimum. He is flexible with deadlines however it is a very time consuming class and not worth the amount of work unless it is your major
Great professor, took him this semester as an online asynchronous course. He explains everything you need to do to succeed. Will give you more time if you need it and just overall one of my easiest A's hands down. It is writing intensive, There are four 10 page essays and one presentation to pass. He gives all assignments due on 1st day of class.
Dr. Yarru's course is an easy A, but not because the material is easy as it's actually the opposite. Rather, it's because he makes the requirements crystal clear, gives entertaining lectures that don't bore you out, and is willing to help you should you have any issues.
the best professor
Professor Yarru is very understanding.. he lectures so you can comprehend the subject. Professor gives great notes to study from. He is very motivational. He is focused on his students passing his class.
the best ever ill take all his classes he takes his job very seriously and he helps you to be a good student would definitely take again
professor wants best for his students
Basically no Hw, just 2 papers and they are due at the end of the semester. East A.
Dr Yarru was an amazing professor he cares about the students success. I learned so much in this class his notes was clear and understandable. If I could have Dr Yarru again I would be happy. Keep up the great work Professor Yarru you are truly a gift and one the best professors I came in contact with.
easy A? Yes if you do the work. However, dr Yarru makes it very clear how important the understanding of his lessons is for our everyday lives. An incredible professor who works with you and tries to empathize with everyone through his teachings. Dr Yarru, thank you for everything.
Professor Errol Yarru is great. He is very patient and always there when help is needed in regards to the syllabus.
He goes above and beyond for his students. Once you do the work you will be fine.
First professor that i've ever taken that genuinely feels like he wants you to succeed not only in school , but as an individual and in life.
Wants everyone to get an A. He's caring and funny. Gives opportunities to make up work. Very inspirational and encouraging. He's awesome.
I took his class on Winter January 2 through January 23. He give you the opportunity to give everything on the last day on January 23 is Exam 1: 20%, Exam 2: 20%, Exam 3: 40% and the Term paper: 20% of the entirely course. There 5 questions you need to choose and write at least 2 pages for each question but if you write more you can get more point.
Professor Yarru is awesome and cares a lot about his students. However, DON'T take it as an online class in the winter semester. 3 papers with at least 15 pages each, and a 12 page term paper. That's 57 pages in total in ONE month. I wouldn't wish this even on my foulest enemy (I would take his class in a normal semester though)
Highly recommend this professor!!!!
