Professor Yusuf is one of the two best Professors I've had in my college career, out of probably somewhere above 20 at this point. He wants you to get an A in his class, and will actively take steps to help you do so. The work is very straight-forward as well, with no arbitrary rules that screw you. Would take again, and definitely recommend.

Dr. Yusuf was great! I took this course just for an extra certificate didn't need it for my degree. I fell behind on a couple of assignments due to the whole pandemic things going on and other craziness and Dr. Yusuf was more than helpful and unlocked the assignments again for me with no late penalty. I highly reccommed him !

No discussion boards, no group projects. Read the text, answer some questions. I expand the answers with real life experience, not sure if it helps, but my average is 100%, so probably
