He described an indirect relationship as being like "a small child running around in circles, with the radius of his circle increasing with his volume (as in loudness)."

the math program at kent is already not great but yaser dhaher does not make it any better. if you have the professor, expect a ton of rude emails, numerous weekly homework assignments, and quizzes/exams literally every week. plus on top of it all, you have to teach yourself all of the material and he will absolutely NOT help/teach you.

Do not under any circumstances take a class "taught" by this professor, especially online. You will be paying tuition only to spend a majority of your time on Youtube University attempting to teach yourself. Quizzes every week that open on Saturdays and close on Saturdays so say goodbye to your weekends. Also, good luck ever getting an email back.

Took Intuitive Calc with Yaser and that was probably a bad choice. I never once got a response to an email. Expects you to teach yourself calculus, which is a hard concept to begin with. Never gave help or lectures, just gave a textbook to read and made it difficult to learn. Avoid if you can.

Very unapproachable outside of class, doesn't really answer questions. Pretty much just makes you learn the material on your own. He grades very tough. He sometimes just randomly yells at everyone in the middle of class. I think I could have done the entire class by myself and gotten the same grade.

Holds a bias against all students even if you turn in all your work on time. Never once did he teach, he left everything to the TA. He messes up on grades a lot so keep an eye on your grades to make sure he does not give you a zero for something you did. If you email him you will not get a response so I'd recommend talking to him in class.

Truthfully, I had a very hard time understanding where he was going a lot of the time. There was no real elaboration when it came to what he was writing to display. I only got through the class by sheer brute force and that's not how calculus should be. Homework, class lectures and exams were not as intersected as you would expect them to be.

Being less than subpar at math I hated this class for about half the time I was in it, but the more I started asking questions the better things got. He's not a mean professor, and he's accommodating when things happen. You're gonna need to study outside of class, but often homework is 10x harder than any test or quiz questions.
