Yitzhak is, quite possibly, the best professor that I have had throughout my entire college career thus far (and I have one semester left.) If you have not had the opportunity to experience one if his classes then you are missing out. He is the funniest professor I have ever met.

Yitzhak is one of those professors you get only once or twice in your career. He's such a caring man and really cares about everyone doing their best. He refers to his students as his friends, and he really means it. Every time I run into him, he still remembers my name, and I was in a 250 people lecture class! Such an awesome guy.

I apologize for not remembering the exact course and section, it was Yitzhak's pre-calculus class back in 1989! My daughter just graduated Stockton this May and had him as well! He is STILL an amazing person and educator! I am still one of his friends and am so fortunate for that! Do Not miss the opportunity to take one of his classes!

Yitzhak is a professor that I will remember for all the right reasons. He is brilliant, hilarious, kind, and extremely caring. He pretty much lives at Stockton to make himself available for anyone who needs help. His tests are fairly simple. His lectures run the entire period. I highly recommend taking any class he is teaching. Amazing guy!

This is a perfect blow-off class was on my laptop thru all the classes, gives homework after every class, but it is really easy. Most of the stuff he teaches i already learned in high school. Gives a sample test before every exam, and if you go to the review session right before the exam you are almost guarantee an A.

Absolutely brilliant! Calls everyone his friend and keeps every one of his 250 students paying attention by throwing cork balls and foot balls into the crowd. Every class has a demonstration of some sort and he even has an assistant that takes everyone's attendance. He will remember your name forever after only one conversation. AMAZING AND KIND

Yitzhak had a student probably paid keep an eye on her in the classroom. Yitzhak interacted with her during class as needed. A loving son + friend to all. I Love Yitzhak.
