Proffesor Getahun runs a very organized class. His lectures are pretty interesting and he is very helpful in teaching you the content. He does have a pretty thick accent but it is easy for you to understand if you pay attention and listen. Make sure to do your MyMathLab homework because it is for a grade but he doesnt really remind you to do it.

He has a very heavy accent. In addition to his accent he is very impatient. He does not like to repeat himself or slow down when teaching. While you're taking notes he asks you to stop and look at him. His instructions are not very clear, but he expects you to still understand.

This professor is great, but I don't recommend taking a 7 week class because he does explain things very rapidly. However, if students have any questions, he is very happy to answer them very clearly and directly. In addition, 75% overall grade are from the 3 exams and the last 25% is from homework. I would study the study guide he gives you.

I already took professor Yonas for college algebra, and now i took it for statistics. This was a 7 week class (summer), so be ready to go fast because all the material needs to be covered. Don't worry! He explains everything and makes everything clear. He gives a study guide for each exam. Study the guide and you will be ready for the exam.

I took a 7 week hybrid course so pace was very accelerated. You MUST attend classes because he gives you tips that are not in the book which makes it much easier to understand. Do the homework, study what he tells you, and do the study guides and you can pass with an A. He is very open to questions and helping you understand.

Prof Yonas is great and I really have enjoyed this class. My single criticism would be that sometimes he explains a concept in such a way that it confuses the whole class and then he doesn't seem to be able to reword it. He just keeps saying the original explanation over and over while frustrations rise. Other than that he's great!
