If you aren't studying material in the first place, you shouldn't be in school. If you did well in Finite Math, this class is a breeze, I agree you don't need to go to class, but you always should anyway. She is SOOOO nice and motivates me. Anyone to give her a bad mark is a bad student, IMHO.

She is one of the best teachers around. Not only she is patient and nice, she also cares about each and every student and makes sure everyone understands the material before she moves on. Just make sure you go to her class and do the hw.

Stay away, I'm doing you a favor. QBA is a tough course, and this teacher is helpful and eager to teach, but her teaching style is horrendous and her students grades don't reflect their abilities but her own teaching abilities. Class average for first midterm might of been in the 60's (no B.S.). Take someone better if you can and avoid, otherwise..

If only every professor is as passionate about student progress as she is. She makes sure that each student understands the material before moving on. Exams are hard if you do not attend class or if you don't understand the material. Her reviews are very good and represents the exam materials closely. Take her..very nice as well

Not an easy class by any means. But Professor Yetimyan does the possible best to help you get through a difficult course. She is extremely passionate about teaching and is very thorough with her teaching. There are several quizes, 2 mid-terms and a comprehensive final. No homework graded, but do the assigned problems, it helps. Highly recommended.

First, dont bother buying the book (never needed it). Makes things easy to understand (even though she has an accent). Extremely nice and open to questions. Im terrible at math (I usually barely pass) and I got an A in her course. I would definitely recommend her.

She is very helpful. This is a hard subject. She is the only teacher I have had that will give up her lunch break to help students. She really wants people to succeed. See her during her office office and make sure you are prepared for each class and you will do fine.

The class is boring and not entertaining. The class is based off of quizzes, classwork, homework, 2 midterms, and a final! Attendance is not required, but the class is extremely difficult! Take another professor because she has a thick accent and will be very difficult to comprehend!

Dr. Yetimyan is by far the best instructor at SJSU. The class material is hard/easy depending on who you are and if you do the work, but as far as teaching goes, she deserves an award for going above and beyond the call of duty. She is still passionate about teaching and will help. Take her course, do the work, and you'll be fine.

Don't be intimidated by 190, Ms Yetimyan is a very good teacher. If you apply yourself you can learn the material. To put things into perspective I'm a student who got a C- in Art History but I was able to get a B+ in 190. I highly recommend taking this professor.

Getting an A/B in this class is very doable(if you work for it)!Quizzes are about every two weeks,2 tests, a final,and an excel project(answers can be found in the tutorial center)! Tests and quizzes are exactly like her lectures,handouts,and hw, Shes also very nice,but at times I felt like she treated the class as if we were still in grade school!

Professor Yetimyan is extremely helpful and nice. She constantly ask the class if we have any questions and to "say anything". This seems helpful at first but gets extremely annoying after awhile!! But you can do well in the class if you follow her lectures. Hw is not mandatory but the questions show up on the quizzes. Her handouts also help a lot!

Very nice and approachable professor. Tough material but she insists you speak up and come to her office hours as often as you need. Homework isn't collected but it is important you do it and the solutions are in the tutoring center. Tests are hard. Quizes are easy if you review the material. Great professor who truly cares for her students.

You'll learn a lot in her class if you pay attention and do the reading, however she is super annoying. It's like she's nice but she'll snap her fingers at you until you tell her the answer, and will make you repeat yourself 5 times until everyone can hear what you said. Her classes feel like they go on FOREVER...

Surprised to see her easiness rating so low. Her class is not difficult at all. She provides all the necessary materials to succeed in her class. Do the optional hw since quizzes and tests are derived from it. No surprises on tests just study. She is also extremely helpful in and out of class always asking if people have questions and very polite.

Shes the only good 190 teacher but she isnt good at explaining and it feels like she speaks in circles sometimes. shes nice and is willing to commit time to help you if you need it. if you need help then go to her office hours. if you raise your hand in class, she can sometime embarrass you front of the class.

I've taken QBA 3 times at SJSU. (I really disliked the teaching style of my previous professors.) Yetimyan's definitely the best out of the 3. She's not that difficult. She explains the material REALLY well. Just make sure to pay attention in class, take notes, do the HW, study, be on top of things, and ask for help. You'll do fine in her class.

This class is tough, so attendance is mandatory. If you miss one day, it's hard to catch up (trust me I know). What I really like about this professor is that she cares about all her students and she will talk to you individually if you are struggling and she will do her best to help you pass the class. I would recommend her.

Do the hw b/c it will help ALOT. She gives solutions so if the class lectures are too fast you can easily teach yourself. A normal F is a D on her exams. I got a B in the class!

You need to attend class since she does example problems similar to those on the exam before hand. Quizzes are A TON easier than the exams are. The exam questions are like the examples she does in class. Homework does not count for credit except for one assignment. I can tell she is trying to help students but still unclear.

Yetimyan is the sweetest lady ever; she makes an effort to know everybody. However, I found out I ended up teaching myself a lot of the material. Her accent can throw me off at times, but the tutor center in BBC 008 did MAGIC for me. I went from failing the first quiz to getting a 94% on my midterms! Its easier as we progress through the chapters

she's a very nice lady but she is not clear and not a good teacher. She wants you to learn and offers help which is nice but her help isn't useful. And if you don't get something midway through a problem and stop her to repeat she'll say let me finish the problem first. Must attend class or you'll be even more confused than you already are.

This is one of the tougher classes as BUS major. She's a very sweet lady and I would def. recommend going to her office hours. That being said she's just an okay teacher and you have to teach yourself everything! However, the class gets easier at the end. About 5-7 quizzes, 1 homework(turn-in), 2 midterms and 1 final. Def attend class and do hwk.

QBA is one of the hardest courses in the whole business core. Prof Yetimyan has only so much time in a class period to impart the lessons, but if you make time and see her at her office hours, she will do her best to break it down and help you understand. I would recommend her to anyone taking #190.

she is great for 190. clear. not too much homework. teaches you what you need to know. would have been helpful if she sent out an e-mail a couple of weeks in advance about buying the book on Amazon like other teachers do. That's nice when they do that so that we know for sure we need to get the book and we get it at the best price. btw the internat
