Beth Yoder has a delightful personality and is a very approachable instructor. She does not make any unreasonable demands and even allows notecards and formula sheets for the quizzes and tests. To do well, you have to do the homework, but that is a personal decision, not a reflection on her teaching.

She's def. the hardest teacher I've ever had, but just wanted everyone to know how to apply in the future. If you just want to make a easy grade don't take this class. If you want to learn, and be able to apply in the future, take her. You will also have to put in a lot of work...good luck.

Awesome teacher but not that easy!

She isnt that bad. She is very nice and old school. She is very personable. Not a typical college professor. She is quite difficult, but teaches exactly what is on the exams. She does allow cheat sheets on all exams and on some quizes. Don't expect to make an A though.

She is a great teacher...the best I have had at Clemson. She is funny, not boring like most teachers. If you have a question she will do everything she can to help you. She really cares about her students and it shows. It isn't the easiest class, but it isn't impossible to do well if you keep up and do the homework.

She's a nice teacher who is really helpful and does a good job of teaching us what's going to be on the test. The only problem is the course itself can be difficult. She's also the hardest grader I've had at Clemson. She'll do a good job of teaching you what you need to know and how to apply it in the real world but your grade might not show it

she was freaking amazing... if only i had her for the whole semester... she is good at teaching exactly what you need to know for the test and nothing more.. she is clear about what she wants. unlike some people.....

Good teacher, if you do the work and keep up you will not have trouble in the class. Paying attention in lecture is the most helpful way to learn her information.

She was gone most of the semester b/c she was pregnant so Dr. McKnew taught most of it. He was an awesome teacher and he really knows the stuff. He is a very nice guy with an awesome personality. Mrs. Yoder was also a pretty nice teacher. Her first test was HELL and hardly anyone finished. She came back for the last test and I aced it. Take either.

I've always heard this was a hard class but it wasn't with her teaching. You don't have to be a math person to understand. I did the work and ended up with an A. Do the HOMEWORK...not graded or taken up, but helps a LOT!

Very clear in class. Tests had too much material. I did ALL the homework. I just couldn't do it fast enough on the tests. B

Hardest teacher I have ever had. It is possible to lose more points than you can earn on every test and quiz. She is willing to help you, but don't expect to do too well. I studied for 12+ hours for every test and went to class everday, but still received a low grade. She has prepared me for grad school as I cannot imagine having to work harder

310 & 312. Great teacher. Hard. DO THE HOMEWORK! As long as you do the homework and go to her office for help if you don't understand anything, you'll do fine. You get "cheat sheets" for tests. I actually put homework problems on mine so I could model the problems on the tests from them. DO THE HOMEWORK! GO TO CLASS!

Nobody realizes that this class is one of the hardest in MGT. PERIOD. It doesn't matter what teacher you take, as you can see from the reviews. However, Yoder definitely teaches the material better than any other professors. Go with her.

Mrs. Yoder is a great teacher. Yes this class is one of the hardest for management majors, but she is the best teacher for it. If you go to all the classes (even though its not mandatory) and keep up with the notes and homework, you will do fine. She gives you everything you need for the tests, but you have to put the time in.

Yoder is one of the hardest but best teacher's I have had at Clemson. I took her during Maymester and it was definitely the right choice. Tests are tough, but she knows the material and practice helps get through it.

Yoder is a great teacher. This is the hardest course in the MGT curriculum and she really knows her material. If you attend every class and do the homeworks, you'll do fine. Cramming will not work with this class. Stay on the ball! She is semi-unhelpful because she wants you to figure things out on your own. I'd recommend her.

Very hard class, make sure you go and take good notes.

Good teacher but a very tough grader. Pay attention to detail if you wanna do well on her tests

She's really tough, but is willing to help you if you go to her office. Go to class! You cannot slack off in this class; attendance isn't mandatory, but if you're smart you'll go and take thorough notes. Only 6 people made A's out of about 70-80 people. I did it, but it took a lot of effort!

The class is very hard, I was one of the ones who did better in the class and I had a solid B. She is actually a very good teacher, but that requires you go to go class everyday and take notes. Her notes are exactly what she expects on the exam, and she give you a "help sheet" for the exams. Go to class and do the work and you'll be fine.

By far the best teacher I have ever had. Anyone that has given her a bad rating is lazy and don't actually want to learn. Her notes are exactly what you need to know for the test. She is very helpful and is more then willing to help you outside of class if you need it. I would recommend her class to everyone!!! you won't regret it!

I had Yoder for both 310 and 312, then someone else the 2nd time I took 310. I was skeptical about taking her for 312 but GLAD I DID. She is awesome for 312, so much easier than she is for 310. As long as you go to class and follow along you will do good..Don't go and you will probably fail. Take her for 312 but not 310!

Dr. Yoder is one of my favorite professors at Clemson! She is very passionate about teaching college kids. She is on your side as long as you make the effort. I had her for 310 and 312. I would recommend her to anyone!

Reviews are SOOOO off. I wonder who rates her. Probably the students who never came to class. If you come to class everyday, you will get a B. I got a B and barley have a 3.0. She is really nice and funny. Class is straight forward. No tricks. Def Recommend her. I would take her again! Everything is on excel so need to take good notes.

You can either take 7 quizzes in addition to 4 tests, or take just the tests. If you have a 93% before the final, you are exempt. She is a good teacher, but she goes fast in class.

Dr. Yoder is one of my favorite professors at Clemson. Sure, the material is hard and complicated, but Dr. Yoder teaches it excellently. You, as the student, just have to show up and put forth the effort. Homework is optional but very helpful. She holds extra office hours around test time. Dr. Yoder is dedicated to helping her students succeed.

Tough class no matter who you take. Yoder is straight forward and helps as much as possible. Even though attendance is not mandatory, if you dont go to class you WILL fail. Go to class and you will be fine. Exams are tough but do-able.

Good personality, good teaching skills and easy on the eyes. So what if the tests were a little hard. You either know it or you don't.

Dr. Yoder is a tough grader, but fair. She challenges you on tests, but if you know the information and do the work an A is certainly possible. She likes teaching and it shows. There's a good sense of humor here... and she's quite attractive.

Dr Yoder is one of the best professors I've had at Clemson. She gets to the point in class and doesn't bother with pointless work or "busy" work. Awesome teacher, definitely recommended.

Relevant material. Rigor required matches level. Just a bit more time needed on major tests...10-15 minutes. Nitpicky grading not needed at advanced levels for working professionals with families. Enthusiastic teacher, helpful, punctual and easy on the eyes. Overall good class but grading frustrating.

This class is a lot of work! She's a good teacher, just really hard!!! Compared to other teachers I've heard of, Dr. Yoder makes you do so much more work. The work load is overwhelming and overshadows your ability to learn all the material clearly. She's really nice, she's not on campus much but she's younger so she probably has young kids.

Knew this was supposed to be a difficult class. That being said she is a phenomenal teacher! Go to class, pay attention, do the optional hw and you will do fine in the class. She was very helpful about problems and excel issues. Tests were straightforward and relatively easy if you did everything above. Definitely would take her again if I could.

Great, Funny, Patient, Tough

Dr. Yoder is a great professor. The course is difficult but if you attend class and study, you will do well! She is extremely helpful if you have any questions or need clarification on a topic. She is organized and goes through tons of examples that mirror those on the test. I definitely recommend her!

Overall really great professor. Clear lectures that get to the point and cover what will be on quizzes and tests. Approachable and willing to go over concepts until clear. Responded to e-mails quickly. Grades quizzes and tests fairly.

Tread lightly... I suggest avoiding Yoder if you already have a difficult semester. With that being said if you want to learn a lot take her! The class is one of the most relatable courses, in terms of growing a business mindset. You kind of have to catch on to her perspective and then the tests will begin to make sense for you.

One of the best professors I've had while at Clemson. The material is tough but she is wiling to work with you and help. She is understanding when it comes to students having lives and does a good job not to overload you. The exams are tough but you can have a formula sheet that really helps. As long as you put in the effort this is a good class.

I have been at Clemson for 3 years now and this is by far the best professor I have had! She is super easy to understand and she makes sure every student is understanding the material. On top of being a great teacher she is also a smokeshow. Lets just say I was always paying attention and I never missed a class.

Yoder is a great professor and wants her students to do well. She'll work with you if you put the effort in, but the tests are hard. Homework is minimal and she gives great notes and examples in class. She teaches well but can be nit picky when it comes to grading. Overall I would take her again!

If you pay attention in class and do the homework she assigns (which is a lot of homework but she gives you more than enough examples) you will succeed. She was always willing to re-explain anything and everything you asked her to. You will rarely be thrown a curveball on the test if you have completed the homework. Tests what she teaches.

Tough class, but if you pay attention, and prepare for the quizzes, you should be OK for the tests. She's a very good instructor, really wants you to learn. Key is to prepare for the quizzes - they aren't difficult, just don't go in blind. Spend 30 min preparing, it's worth it.

Don't take this class if you hate statistics. The class is very difficult, but if you enjoy the subject material it is fine. Go to all the classes or else you will fail the class. Tests are very hard but you can use a full page front and back of notes on every test. She's a really good teacher and will answer any questions you have

Overall, excellent. Material can be tough if you are not proficient with excel, but she gives good examples and clearly explains assigned homework problems. She is a tough / picky grader but test questions are similar to examples / homework. Material moves quickly if taken during summer, but a "B" is very do-able. Would recommend.

The class is going to be tough no matter who you take it from, but she does help you lean the material and understand the concepts better. She's very accessible outside of class and is always willing to help.

If you like excel, then showing up to class is all you need to do. Yoder was an absolute joy: funny, gregarious, actually likes teaching! I paid attention in class, never did the homework, and studied the night before tests and cruised to an easy A, but I love math and love spreadsheets more. If you hate both, at least she's a great teacher.

Yoder was absolutely great!!! A lot of people think she's a tough grader, but if you go to class and pay attention, its really not hard. She gives extra credit for every quiz and test!!! The class is very Excel heavy, but she tries to help you out as much as possible. By far one of the best/most informative classes at Clemson. Definitely take her!

Great professor, tough, but actually knows the material and knows how to teach it. Best professor so far, doesn't give you the answers but you will learn. If you're in it to learn take her, if not, don't. You will have to do all the homework and will have quizzes almost every class but exams are pretty much like the quizzes.

She is a wonderful professor and is very willing to help. Accessible outside of class. Doesn't make you feel dumb at all. It still is a very, very hard class. I did my best, but still got a C. As long as I passed I didn't care. It is a really hard class..I won't lie. Do the hw and practice.

Dr. Yoder is one of the best professors I've had at Clemson. I chose to do the quizzes and I felt they really helped me prepare along the way for the tests. She always made sure everyone understood the material. As long as you go to class, do the homework, and study/rework the examples from class, you will do fine. I definitely recommend Dr. Yoder

I loved Mrs. Yoder. She was very personable and made sure everyone in class was on the same page. She also took time out of class to make sure each person could access what she was teaching. Tests were hard but you get formula sheets. I would definitely take this class again just to have Mrs. Yoder. I really learned a good bit of material.

She's incredibly informative in her lectures and very dedicated to helping students understand and succeed. The class is heavy, but if you do all her homework (she assigns a lot!), you'll be prepared for the tests. Offers extra credit, allows cheat sheets, lenient grader. Doesn't post notes online, so I wouldn't recommend skipping. Great teacher!

Loved professor Yoder, but her class is tough. She doesn't take attendance, but you won't do well on exams and (optional) quizzes if you don't show up. Yoder knows her stuff and cares about her students, but you've got to be willing to put in the work and communicate with her. Exams can be easy or hard depending on how much you study for them.

If you go into the class thinking it's going to suck, it will. But, it really isn't that bad if you pay attention in class and do the examples with her. Doing the HW is also very helpful if you don't understand the material quite yet, but it's not mandatory.

Even though the lectures are not mandatory, it is super important to go and learn the new examples and be able to ask questions. Homework is not graded but it is beneficial to your success to do them, and ask her questions about it if you may have any. You definitely have to put in the work if you want a good grade!

Great teacher. Need to put in the work.

Dr. Yoder is an amazing teacher and cares about her class so much. Her lectures are hard, but if you're willing to put in the work this class is great. I was told to drop this class and it ended up being my favorite class of the semester. Do not judge her by her Rate My Professor reviews, she's an awesome teacher and a cool person.

Dr. Yoder is a teacher who recognizes hard work- this was one of my most challenging classes at Clemson, but I was rewarded for it. If you are willing to take the time and put in the effort you will do well. She is very understanding and will work with you through the material. Take very detailed notes in class!!

Professor Yoder does not get the credit she deserves. Her lectures are easy to follow because she explains things well. Just do the homework and make a good cheat sheet and you should be good. I really don't understand why her reviews are so mixed. I would definitely recommend her! 10/10

Dr. Yoder is super honest and makes following class simple. Attendance is optional but you need to go to stay on track. She gives you the choice of taking quiz or not. She makes things simple and never shames people for asking questions. She is very helpful and truly cares about her students. She shouldn't have any mixed ratings.

I'm not sure why Dr. Yoder has so many bad reviews. She's one of the best teachers I have had. She is very nice and really explains everything in good details. What she does in her lectures are pretty much the same things on the tests. She even took time to learn every kids name in a 125 person lecture. Great teacher

Professor Yoder makes the material pretty easy to grasp and allows a cheat sheet or note sheet on each of the exams, which I literally fit all of the class outlines on to. It definitely helps to attend class and take your own notes although attendance isn't mandatory.

Very clear with material and an overall very good teacher. It is clear what is expected of you. No attendance policy but you need to attend in order to do well. Everyone gets to make a formula sheet for exams which really helps. If you are given the option to take quizzes in the class, SAY NO.

She is very straightforward and honest. I 100% regret taking quizzes bc no formula sheet. No attendance policy per se, but if you miss class, you MISS it all. Nothing is posted. You must have immaculate notes and put it all on a formula sheet for the test. You must be highly engaged in class. Not tech savvy at all. Good classroom environment.

I don't understand how she doesn't have better reviews. She cares about her classes and listens to student feedback; your class grade is entirely up to how much effort /you/ put in. Attendance isn't counted for a grade but is very important to your understanding. She is a super friendly/funny prof and lets us make note sheets for all exams.

Yoder has a bad reputation for being a bad teacher but she is awesome. Very personable and knows how to teach the material in her course. If you go to class and pay attention, she teaches well enough that you will be able to comprehend what she is teaching. Don't listen to everybody else, Yoder is amazing.

Take her!! Communicates exactly what you need to know and if you go to class/pay attention/take notes you should do well. You get a 2 sides of paper for each exam where you can basically transfer all your notes. Definitely get familiar with the excel template she give you, it is a life saver. Also choose not to take quizzes, it wasn't worth it!!

I can't believe how many negative reviews there are on here about Dr. Yoder. She was very kind in class, especially if you put in the effort and work to do well. Class was very structured and the notes were easy to follow. While attendance is technically not mandatory do have to show up to class in order to get the notes.

GREAT PROFESSOR. She explains everything clearly and encourages questions and actually answers them. Give good prep for the exams- just redo hw, review notes, and do the practice probs. She is funny and nice and gives you everything you need to get the best grade. Tests are straightforward. Listens to our feedback. Makes the tough class easy.

Dr. Yoder is one of my favorite professors hear at Clemson. She tells you exactly what to know, and what will be on the exam. The exams are two days, which I really liked. There is no attendance policy, but if you do not go to class, you will not do well. She does not post on Canvas for the material. Just go to class and you will perfectly fine.

her negative ratings are crazy. this class is hard but she is a great professor and if you go to class and ask questions you will do well. don't recommend taking quizzes though, not worth it.

She is an absolute blast to have as your professor if you are willing to put in the work. You get a cheat sheet for all exams, and she tells you what is expected to get full credit on the exam if you go to class. I thought quizzes were helpful for staying on top of studying and getting exposed to what exam questions would be.

I do not understand why Dr. Yoder has so many bad ratings. Yes you need to go to class to get the notes but isn't that why you are in school? You have the option to take quizzes, homework, or both. I chose both but quizzes better reflect the exams that are not hard if you study. You get 2 pages of notes for each exam. I would take her 10000%.

Ignore all of the bad reviews!!! Professor Yoder's class is very doable but you need to go to class!! She clearly lays out expectations and is very willing to help you succeed in the class. She is also very funny. We also get a cheat sheet for every exam. TAKE HER FOR THIS CLASS!!!

Professor Yoder does not take attendance and is very available outside of class time. I have never done as well in a math class as I have in this class. It was supposed to be a hard course but if you make good formula sheets and show up to class you will pass with an A. She truly cares about her students and knows every student by name.

Do not sign up to take the Quizzes. Professor Yoder is super nice but her tests are pretty hard. Write down exactly what she goes over during lecture. Need to show up to be successful in this course. Also try hard on the first exams so you can exempt the final.

In order to succeed, you have to attend class; it is where all the notes come from, and she explains them clearly. There are 3 tests, the concepts are harder than the Excel. Make sure you do every step and write things the exact way she wants them. Your "formula sheet" should help if you make it well. You can exempt final with an A based on points.

I am a very average student and I have put in the most bare minimum effort in this class and got a B. Her exams are very easy if you just write down the notes (she gives you docs to write them in), this was a very easy class and I highly recommend her, she is very helpful, responds quickly to emails and wants you to succeed.

I am shocked to see so many poor ratings on Dr. Yoder. I took her for Mgt 3100 and she was amazing. Yes, the class is naturally more challenging, but she lets you make a formula sheet to bring to the tests. She learned every single persons name in our class (100+ people), and truly does care about her students. I would definitely recommend!!

Prof. Yoder makes the class easy to follow and content is reasonable to understand. You're given a full two-sided piece of paper to write anything you want for exams. Yoder also gives you guided notes. Definitely recommend taking her class.

I'm not sure why she has bad reviews she is an amazing professor and she makes the class very easy. Attendance is not mandatory and tests are very fair. You an exempt final if you have enough points (A)... DONT TAKE QUIZZES ONLY CHOOSE HW

Dr. Yoder is amazing! If you show up to class and take notes on what she says to, you'll pass with an A. Tests are a little challenging, but she lets you make formula sheets for exams.

She's very personable and kind. Class was mainly just a lecture and a group assignment, very easy and doable. Online assignment and quizzes, short and easy to do as well. Would 100% take her again, nothing bad to say about her at all.
