Excellent professor, cares about students. Teaches valuable life lessons. highly recommended.

VERY INTERESTING TEACHER WITH PREDILECTION TO TEACH. HIGHLY RECOMENDET.

Learning from this professor's class was so far the best experience learning. He is very reliable and punctual. However, he is very strict but reasonable with his students. The information that is given by this professor is very clear and understandable. He'll give you an A if you do all your work on time and show interest in the subject. Of couse

From the start this prof. was slightly intimidating with his strictness and high expectations. How he runs his class and workload can seem like a lot at first but stick with it. You'll learn many valuable things for your future career and education. He really does have students' best interests at heart. Hand in work on time, he's a fair grader.

Extremely professional, one of the few talented and professional professors at LaGuardia. He is very inspiring, punctual, and cares about his students. He is strict, however this is vital since it will prepare students to not be surprise once they attend a four year college. He is definitely the best professor I've had so far.

Great Professor. VERY EASY A

A gem of a person, very much inspiring, professional, reasonable and dedicated to the students progress.....he is a great mentor!!!

This professor makes a student who is afraid of public speaking, actually get over that fear. Very passionate and acts like a parent, guiding students to the next chapter of their lives!

UNDERSTANDING, CARING, MOTIVATING. In away he is like your parent. I wont call it an easy A, if you miss too many classes and if you can not speak infront of people.

No question. Everyone with no exception needs ability to speak in front of smaller or bigger audience. Prof. Khaydatov is the best teacher to teach you how to do it effectively. He inspire students and make them feel exceptional and important. Definitely, he is one of the best teachers. Choose his course, you won't regret.

Great Prof ever!Easy A

The professor demonstrates excellent e-mail etiquette, and he is very organized with his syllabus. I received an "A" in this course, and as far as I am concerned, Professor Khaydatov deserves an "A" for being the best.

Easy grader, great Professor. During first you have a lot of work to do but overtime you will realize all was to build your career. I emailed him why lot of work in the short amount of time? He replied you will realize when half of the semester is over and now I realize. During first half workload is heavy; however, overtime you will feel relieved.

Great professor!

Prof. Khaydatov is very helpful and prepares students well for their career. He is knowledgeable, and everything in his course connects. I took all three courses with him and learned a great deal. You won't regret taking his classes. He is clear in his expectations and you need to follow directions in his syllabus.

he made public speaking enjoyable. awesome style and connects to students. very inspiring.

I had him for this class and BTI 121, if you show effort and work hard you will get an A. He is very inspiring; reason why I took both of his classes. I believe that he pushes students to do better and prepare them for the real world.

Very engaged with students, definitely wants to see them succeed. Provides feedback, privately, after each speech, so student know exactly what they need to work on. Allows late speeches for lower grade, which is better than an auto-F! Sometimes would go on tangents related to his personal life and God, but all in all a really good, caring prof.

Great professor,gives a lot of work but you WILL learn.

The class was great. Unlike other course I took, in this class it was like family meeting each week. We encouraged each other and shared our experience after each speech.

Professor Khaydatov has answered all of my emails with solutions to all of my problems. Being in his class has built my confidence. It was a pleasure to take his class at this point in my life. God bless him.

prof. khaydatov has been an extremely helpful, resourceful, knowledgeable and compassionate professor who helps students get a better understanding about public speaking. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and feel much more confident in my abilities to present in front of an audience. The skills I learned will prove to be invaluable in my future.

He's strict, perfectionist, and punctual. High dedication and also has a great method in teaching. Do everything he said and you get an A. piece of cake :)

Took his Public Speaking class during the 6-week session on Sundays. I thought it was going to be a chore but it was not. He made it fun. Prof. Khaydatov provides a good class environment. He is very sincere, helpful, professional and very approachable. There were 4 speeches in total and he gives you feedback in private. I highly recommend him.

Prof yefim is amazing prof. Its knowegeabl class.. I learned a lot.. Participate , follow his instructions and you will good!! Very understanding and helpfull professor....i would strongly recommend!! "A" yes just do what he says!! Very reasonable :)!!

Good class great professor

Awesome Teacher!!! After taking his class you will definately feel more confident speaking in front of an audience! I RECOMMEND THAT YOU TAKE HIM. YOU WILL NOT REGRET .:)!!!!!

Awesome, Easy grader.

Professor teaches us good experience in public speaking.

I like the professor because he really make me work.

I enjoyed the class and the teaching style. I like the presentation experience, the interviewing. I like when the professor went back on material until all students got it.

Be on time, strict on attendance. Lots of assignments but an easy grader. If you submit ALL work, you will get A or B; depends how good you are @ multiple choice ?'s for midtermfinal (based on class notestextbook). No group PJs. Cares about students, always willing to help; you will gain valuable information. He's funny & awesome!

Awesome! You will not regret taking his class. I recommend you take his class for Public Speaking. He cares about his students. You must put in the effort and work to pass his class. Attendance and Punctuality is a must!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Highly recommend.

Awesome Teacher. Trust me you will not regret. You must put in the effort to get a good grade and pass. Attendance and Punctuality is a must no slacking here. I definately recommend you take his class.

Definitely knowledgeable and well-articulated, but changed his mind about a lot of key elements during the course, which confused some of the students. A fair grader, especially to the ones that struggled.

Took this class on Sundays in the 6 week winter session. 7 hour class but went by quick. He lets you out a little early if you finish early. Cares about his students. 4 speeches: Group, Informative, Persuasive, and Special Occasion. Very straight forward. Do the speeches and go to class and you will get an A.

One of the best classes I ever took. I learned a lot and He gave me motivation to talk in front of others. I enjoyed attending class. Really helped me become a more confident speaker. He is also an advisor at LAGCC so he's a great listener, if you have any issues he's very easy to talk to. I would absolutely take again.

An inspirational teacher that provides positive feedback to the student, is caring, gives fun speeches, and wants you to succeed.

He is a good professor, make sure to follow his steps when doing his assignments and you would get an A. Don't miss his classes and participate a lot.

Public speaking has always been exciting for me. The rush that people get from being on a roller coaster is the same type of rush you get from this class. It has been nice to participate in this class. The professor provided the information needed to improve and succeed. This class has been money and time well spent.

Amazing professor!! He loves his job. It wass important for him that his students were enjoying his class. We need more professors like him. I enjoyed my Public Speaking class to the fullest. I took his course during the short session on Sundays and never missed a class. A+ for you professor!!

Such a good professor, he cares about you and your future. His classes are always interesting. He won't let go without understanting the lecture.

The best professor I've had at LAGCC. Professional, articulate, great teaching style, kind, very helpful and cares about students doing good. Lectures are interesting and you will learn a lot. Come to classes, follow his instructions and get a good grade. Would definitely take HUC106 with professor Khaydatov if I wasn't done with it.

Professor is funny and cool. Definitely helpful. I never asked for extra credit but I don't feel I needed to because all the assignments lead to the exam, it'll just take a quick study of past assignments to study for the Exams. Not difficult, but not unprofessionally lenient. Two words: "The man!"

Do not miss out on your chance learning from this professor! He is intelligent, has vast amount of experience which he will hand it down to you if you as long as you pay attention and participate in class. He may seem intimidating at first but really friendly person who cares about everyone. His teachings are insightful and meaningful for ur future

Great Professor! Test are based on assignments and lectures. Make sure not to miss any class. He is very clear and gives great advice/feedback. His assignments are interesting and helpful and his lectures are always interesting. So you definitely won't get bored!

If you're easily intimidated, then chances are you won't like him much. But he has a wealth of information that he is willing to impart, if you just understand what he is asking of you. Easy to talk to and flexible. And he isn't boring. Well at least to me he wasn't.

Took him for public speaking and was very intimidated by the whole thing, he seemed very strict. The public speaking aspect got easier as the class went on, and he really isn't that strict. He enjoys what he does and definitely gives a lot of feedback and instructions for you to get better. He was a lenient grader, who values attendance and effort.

Public speaking was the most challenging and the most unexpectedly useful class I've taken. With the right mentor you will learn how to become a confident, eloquent, and engaging public speaker. Prof. Yefim is as sharp as a razor, articulate and has a phenomenal sense of humor. He can be very strict, thought. One of the BEST prof. at LaGuadia

I took this class every sunday for 7 hours because it was a short session. Yefim will trully push your confidence no matter how nervous you are. Highly recommend this class

I absolutely love this man. So smart, focus, dedicated to what he teaches, very fer grader and a reaI gentleman. If you still haven't taken HUC 106, BTI 121 or BTI 201 - take him. He is such a trip and so funny. He will challenge you but will also give you a lot of support. I took HUC 106 for short winter session and had a blast at his classes.

Great professor. Public Speaking is not an easy class unless you are naturally a good speaker. Yefim made it all possible to make us feel comfortable speaking in front of class. He was very helpful and nice. Great sense of humor.

Yefim makes it clear what he expects during the course. He makes the class interesting, although at times is a micromanager. At first, I was terrified of public speaking, but by the end gained enough confidence to adequately present myself. This can be an easy class; he is a fair grader, but expect to put in the work. (take online class for easy A).

As students, we will come across many educators and professor but only special few leave a lasting impression. Thank you Professor Khaydatov. With the help of his support and guidance, i have finally learned how to break down my public speaking barriers. You will not regret taking his class.

He is really Professor of Lagcc!! Don't think twice picking him! because he grades all students very fairly.

One of the best professor I have ever met. His sweet way of talking and fair judgement of speech are his best qualities. He is not only a good professor but a good human being too, who is not a touch grader. All you have to do is focus on what he says and you will begin to develop self confidence within yourself.

BTF 101 was one of the best classes of first semester it was honestly really fun and at the same time you got to learn a lot of things in between. Professor Yefim is a great Professor although you better do your work that's it. Presentations are really great and you can ask him for anything!

The most interesting class I've taken so far! Professor Khaydatov - awesome. Nothing else is needed to be known - just take his class

very good professor

Professor Yefim Khaydatov is a very patient, passionate, and understanding individual. I was luck to be in his HUC106 public speaking class.

Definitely a caring professor. He wants to prepare his students for the real world and how to succeed in it(professionally). If you put genuine effort into your work and meet the grading criteria there should be no reason why you wouldn't pass.

Professor was very nice and helpful to make sure the students understand what is expected of them. Hes pretty clear on what he expects for each speech so as long as you pay attention and meet criteria you will get an A. He really helps overcome the fear of public speaking. Attendance is a must because its a lot of info given in each class .

Great professor! Walked in wanting to walk out of public speaking but just the first day alone gave me assurance. If youre skeptical about the class since you may HAVE to take it. Definitely take it with him. You wont regret it. Outlines make your speeches easy. Give your best genuine effort and you will pass.

awesome prof.. would love to take him again.

I took him during Spring 1 (2018). He's funny, caring, super flexible and I definitely learned and overcame some fears in his public speaking class. It's an easy A just dedicate the time and do exactly what he says.

Very fun class got to learn many things and he's definitely willing to share any information that he has with his students. He's not intimidating, very understanding and won't pressure anyone.

Genuine Professor, gifted speaker, caring (like a father-figure, not a mom!) in preparing you for the demands of the real world work-place. He teaches you of what it takes to open yourself up to become a strong candidate. No late submissions accepted. His course starts strong, but almost everyone is engaged, learns and grows as a result. Very good!

Awesome Professor !!

This would be the best public speaking class to take HANDS DOWN!!!!!! This a professor who actually takes care of his students. He lets you know exactly what he wants from you during and in the beginning of class. Public speaking was a fear for me now its not.

I have nothing but great things to say about Prof. Khaydatov. His teaching style is one that I wish many professors would have; he is direct and stern, yet helpful and caring. I witnessed my classmates improve greatly as public speakers; and I must say that I have also come a long way. We all learned and had a great time.

He is a very lenient grader as long as you do the outlines for your speech, get up and give your speech in any way how, you will pass with an A. Very caring/ clear in terms of grading. If you are afraid of public speaking, this is the class to take. The classroom is a very comfortable environment for new speakers and you wont regret it :)

Amazing Professor!!! Really looked forward for his classes on Sunday. Spent almost 7 hours in his class without even realizing that time went by. He is surely one of the best.

Professor K is very knowledgeable and is very understanding of his adult students hectic lives and schedules. If you listen to what he says and really practice your public speaking; youll pass easily! Try not to miss class a lot.

Honestly the best professor. He made everyone in class feel comfortable with one another, cared for us, helpful and was very respectful. Any one that takes this course won't regret it and will have a fun semester. Their are three speeches but he gives time and helps students select a topic.

He is one of my favorite professor from LAGCC. I would recommend you to take his class Because he is very nice professor and you will definitely get A in this class.

Overall, fantastic! Definitely would recommend.

He is friendly. Make friendship with him. Take his class easy. Just attend class and follow his instruction for presentation. Thats it

Great professor! He's blunt on what he's expecting, no if's or buts without a note. He makes it fair for everyone. Miss more than 2 classes, pray. The work is easy so DON'T drag your feet. He responds to anyone question in and out of class. He makes everyone feel comfortable and he's just awesome. He knows what it is to have a life and a family.

Professor is quite amazing. He helped us through everything. Ill recommend this class

By far one of the best professors I've have overall. Signing up for his class on a Sunday morning was well worth the sacrifice. He is very helpful in getting you to succeed in his class. The textbook was not "mandatory" but it was helpful while I was outlining and drafting my speeches. I cannot recommend him enough.

Great professor. Not exam nor quiz . Just 3 presentation, Inspirational, persuasive and special occasion. Just follow his instructions.

Professor Khaydatov made class very fun, interesting and very informative. It didn't feel like I was in class on Sunday for 7 hours. It was worth while taking this class that thought skills I can apply in other classes and other areas of my life.

I thought I would never be able to speak publicly but taking this class helped me break out of my shell. I really enjoyed this class, I would take it again. This was one of the best professors I've ever had. He's clear on what he expects, he's lenient with grading speeches and gives great feedback to help you grow.

Awesome Professor. He gives great feedback. Pro tip: Follow his instructions when outlining your speech.

Very understanding. Just do the work its not that hard. if you need help with anything reach out and he will help you.

Coronavirus changed everything. He was very understanding. He answered all of my questions.

He is a great professor. Take him for good grade. He always help to student without any hesitation . And he always gives clear feedback to student. Therefore , I suggest you take him.

He really cares about his students and helps them if they need it. He will get back to you as soon as he can. He also grades fairly. I would recommend him as a teacher..

Class was not mandatory only when he announced it. He provides the readings and class work was not too much. He cares and he will work with you. We have 3 speeches, outlines, and possibly power points. It was a good course that I will definitely take again. Take him, you will not regret it.

The class assignments was self explanatory. He posted all of the assignments on blackboard, as long as you complete the assignments in a timely manner you are sure to pass. We meet once for a live lecture. This class has helped me write a better resume and prepared me for job interviews. If you do the work you are guaranteed to pass.

Great professor, very helpful,

He was amazing he really gave you a chance to receive a good grade he doesnt want to see you fail I would definitely recommend this professor

Great Professor. Was understanding if you had an issue with the assignment and was accessible outside of class.

Professor Khaydatov is very understanding. I was afraid of public speaking class but Professor made everything with fun and enjoyable. The class was asynchronous but he uploaded videos for every topic and he answered emails fast. Take him!

Great professor, clear syllabus. I would 100% recommend taking this professor!! The best

Very nice. He posts the readings from the textbook so you can read online. He is very clear with assignments, grading , due dates, and what he expects. Also he responds quickly to any questions or emails. Great class, and I would take him again.

Professor Khaydatov is amazing, very understanding and professional. He makes sure you understand the class content. Always available and willing to help students succeed. Great class and professor

Awesome !

Professor Khaydatov was so great and understanding! I just took him for HUC 106 (online) he gave clear instructional videos on what was excepted and how assignments are supposed to be done, if I could take him in any other class I would. Make sure to do all of your assignments and tests and youll pass.

THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! Prof Yefim taught me a lot of things especially being confident in public speaking. It's such an honor to become his student. For his class, There are no written exams. It's all recorded speeches. The class is on zoom and the camera should be on.

When I registered for this course, I did not know what to expect. Honestly, I was not looking forward to it but this professor has changed my mindset. The most ironic thing is that this class also helped me prepare for my other finals for other classes. Take his class, you will not regret it. P.S., thank you professor.

Definition of a Perfect Professor! Professor Khaydatov is very organized, explain content very well and very understanding. Sometimes online courses can be difficult, but he left no student out and communicated with each and everyone of us to guide us on assignments and ensure our success. You do have to show effort. I would take his course again!

Awesome professor really wants to see you succeed

Fantastic professor and course! The course is centered around three major speeches (Informative, Persuasive, Special Occasion). Each respective speech is broken down into manageable parts and ultimately leads to a presentation. The professor provides clear grading criteria and excellent feedback. A great professor for one's public speaking course!

When I say the true definition of wanting students to succeed Professor Yefim is truly that and more, he not only supports but he ensures you understand no matter the hours he's there to support and clarify as needed. Just ensure you keep him in the loop. Words cannot express enough Thank you Professor.

Professor Khaydatov made the class seem alot different than I was expecting it to be. Before I made it to this class I thought I was going have hard time learning to talk in public because I am an introvert and very scared of talking in public. But the professor made the class very interesting and helped me increase my confidence. The best Prof.

Dr. Khaydatov is AWESOME!! It had been a while since I have felt that participating in classroom discussions mattered. I very much enjoyed the dynamic, chatty and sometimes intense conversations had during class, pre and post presentations. I would very much like to participate in another one of his courses.

He cares about his students and that they learn. He can be really difficult and really by the books but nothing overbearing. He genuinely cares about each student doing good and replying to everyone he can. He clearly has a lot on his plate yet takes time out for each student.

Hands down best verbal & non-verbal communications Professor at Laguardia CC!!!!! Prof let's you make up presentations, but he has to see a willingness from you. Highly recommend for BTM-106 and HUC-106!!

Prof Khaydatov made this public speaking class engaging and helpful. The assignments were structured to build confidence, and using Unstuck study alongside the textbook was a great study combo. Highly recommend this class for improving communication skills.

What more can I say than thank you! My favorite class that I have ever taken. This man deserves a raise. Your the best professor! Thank you!

He was wonderful. He was very clear on what he expected and always answered my emails quickly. He made the reading fun and the assignments fun and educational. I highly recommend him!

I took Dr. Khaydatov for BTM106/Spring Session. He is one of the most amazing professors you will meet at LaGuardia. He took the time to explain each assignment, by phone zoom and lecture, provided us with textbook and provided informative videos and detailed assignments to help us with coursework. A true gem, wish I took more classes with him.

Such a great teacher, he cares about the students.

Professor khaydatov helped me learn a lot of things I. Never knew about, I'm talking about small details you'd think won't matter. He cares about his students learning and wants to see us improve. Don't miss out on deadlines and always communicate if you need some extra time.

This professor was honestly one of the best i've had so far in my school year. His teaching is tailored into genuinely helping us in the real world. He is very specific about what he wants, and gives us additional time to edit the work before submitting. Attendance and effort matters but it's easy to get a good grade. Would take again!
