he has a strange sense of humor, but is a very good instructor.

Very funny, very smart chilled king of professor. Make sure you do your hw- the hw questions become the test questions so if you don't do hw- you won't do the tests well. We called him the Rock Biker professor- he's awesome.

Tests are not very hard because they come straight from the homework problems.

best math teacher @ bcc. he doesn't make the class easy, but he gives you ways to pass if you are willing to try. unlike other math classes, getting an A isn't impossible!

He was a great teacher. I did not think his accent was hard to understand at all. He is always willing to help. His tests are right from the homework. He gives loads of extra credit. One of the best teachers I have had at BCC.

I believe he wants his students to succeed and KNOW the material. I hate math but he makes it tollerable with his quirky sense of humor. He knows his stuff and should probably be teaching higher than community college level.

He was easy!! You just have to figure him out! All of his test come from the end of the chapter test exactely the same problems!! Not one thing was changed!!! I feel he had a good sense of humor just really dry jokes, I stink in math and got an A in college Algebra JUST DO THE TEST AT THE END OF CHP

In this class, if you just do your homework and study for the test, you will do fine. He has a great sense of humor too, the class if fun to sit through.

I love math and I did well with Algebra in high school so that helps me a lot. He explains the information well. However, he stands in the way where I can't see. Some of the jokes and stories he tells are funny but most of them are...unique to say the least. It's who he is so it's okay.

He's got a heavy accent and is hard to understand at times, but he covers the material well. If you want to win brownie points with him, talk about classic rock bands. He is esspecially fond of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. Algebra is not his first love. Look for a man on the third floor of the library that tutors for free. He does not work for BCC. If you find him, he will get you through Algebra.

This was my 2nd time through and he made things easy to understand, although he seemed to get distracted by the end of the semester and the quality went downhill some. Drops lowest test score, adds extra credit to next lowest. I got an F last semester with a different teacher and an A with Dr. Y. I would recommend this professor!

He took over this class with several weeks left in the semester. He honored what the previous teacher told us, such as droping the lowest test score. He showed how to do problems on board. Not much homework. Showed which problems will be on test. I recommend this teacher.

I had a great experience in his Calc 1 and 2. He is now department chair which says it all

He knows his stuff, is a good teacher and sometimes adds in some strange stories. He always let us out early too, which was nice.

Easy course, Dr. Yamomoto does his job in teaching the material. I noticed that when students ask questions he sometimes acts like they are stupid for not knowing. He sometimes goes off on weird tangents and tells stories in the middle of the lecture that have nothing to do with the lecture. If you do your homework it's easy. Lets us out super earl

Dr. Yamamoto is a good algebra teacher, somewhat difficult but if you take all the notes and do all the homework you should be able to pass. He grades fairly, so don't expect him to bump you up.

He is indeed a good instructor however he give you no room for mistakes and no rounding of grades. As said many times do all extra credit and homework, and you'll be fine! Oh don't miss any exams because you're not able to make up after the class has taken the exam!

I had Dr. Yamamoto for Stats and he was not hard at all. He gives you most of the formulas for the tests. Just do the problems that he says to do for test prep and you will have an easy A.

I thought that Dr. Yamamoto was a great teacher. He kept the material simple and to the point, and he gave plenty of opportunities for everyone to succeed with his test reviews and extra credit problems. I also enjoyed his sense of humor...but maybe it's because I also share that darker awkward sarcasm, hahaha. I'd recommend him :)

Professor Yamamoto is a brilliant person. If you do not understand something in class, just speak up and he will answer it, other wise he assumes you understand. Things that seem difficult in mathematics to the average person are like simple single digit addition to him. If you want to learn from possibly one of the most gifted minds, take him!

He is a great teacher! He really knows what hes talking about. Very helpful. He teaches only what you need to know. Has plenty of opportunities for extra credit. He gives a test review that is exactly what you need to know for the test. Why he is teaching at BCC is beyond me. He should be at a university or private college.

His class is easy as long as you do homework. The questions are taken directly from it. He will even go over the test before you take it. The exam was the easiest math exam I have ever taken.

He is a great teacher. I used to hate math and he actually helped me enjoy solving problems and now i am not so scared to take stats or calc. im def. takin him for both classes if possible.

He's a great teacher. The tests are directly from the homework. He gets off topic almost every class but I've laughed more in that class then ever before. He always lets you out early. Tests are your only grade. usually 10 question tests.

GREAT professor! I loved Dr. Yamamoto, and I HATE algebra! He made it possible for me to pass. I also took him for STA and that class was so easy and so much fun ( because he made it that way!) I earned a 100% on my final. Accent was not an issue. He's hilarious.

EASY. Yammamoto always lets his class out early. We were usually done in 30-40 minutes. Tests are identical to homework problems. Take Yammamoto.

Gotta keep up with the home work. Test study guides and home work are the test problems. I took him over a six week summer class and pulled off an "A". Its not easy, you have to work to get your grade but there are bonus problems to help you through the semester if you do bad on a test.

Hard class over six weeks but worth it. Got an A from doing homework, doing study guides and bonus problems.

I took his class in a 6 weeks summer course. The material is simple and easy to grasp. He is the department chair and is very lazy so half of all his test are multiple choice, he provides all the formulas and you can use a calculator. He gives study guides and most of the time he doesn't even change the questions for the test!

Mr.Yamamoto is one of the best math teachers I've had. He gives you a review that is like the test, but numbers are changed. If you do those and understand the problems on the review, you will be able to get an A. Math was never my strong point.In highschool I got B's, but I got an A in his class! I took him for college algebra too! I recommend him

Def recommend for STA. His reviews are like the tests. Does go off into tangents but still gets the material across. There were a lot of things I didn't understand so the math lab was my friend throughout the semester. He is fair and honest with his classes.

Excellent professor. He is a genius but very advanced.

Dr Yamamto is a genius. He is one of the smartest and most intelligent person I have known. I recommend him.

Dr Yamamoto is very intelligent. I definetely recommend him for math.

Great teacher, very intelligent. Take his class.

I think he was an excellent teacher. At first, he seemed a bit intimidating, but he is actually very helpful and kind of funny. Even though he goes somewhat quick through the lesson, he does lots of examples for each type of problem. He also gives a few extra credit opportunities and drops the 2 lowest quiz grades. I highly recommend him.

Everybody says this guy is hard probably because they don't apply themselves. This guy never gives out homework and only gives out 5 tests. He drops lowest test and gives out extra-credit too. Final exam was exactly set up like the review except with some numbers switch around. He does go off topic, but still is able to teach the class w/ examples.

This guy is the best for statistics. No homework, only 5 tests. He drops the lowest but be warned he grades like a machine and everything needs to be done to the "T". However, easy-going guy and talks about baseball a lot. Final exam was super easy because he gives out the final review and it's the same except for some numbers switched around.

This guy does go off-topic. But, he does teach with examples and knows how to entertain. He grades like a machine, wanting everything done to the "T". No homework, just 5 tests but he drops the lowest. He offers four extra credit chances and puts those points on to second lowest test. Final exam almost identical to study guide. Take this guy.

Yamamoto is a brilliant man, and an excellent teacher.. for those who can keep up. He teaches a lesson and moves on, and this is hard for those who don't learn at a fast pace. I have never been an A student, and my study habits are, well I have none. The trick to pass is pay attention to every detail in class and study. Or find a new teacher.

Teacher is clear and concise. Assignments can be challenging.

The best mathematics teacher I ever had. Clear lessons, clear goals, and always available for questions. He explains complex topics in a way that is easy to understand. Extra credit is offered if you're falling behind. A "real world" approach is taken for both content and problem solving, not just theoretical stuff that won't serve a career.

Um well his test can be challenging. The more you study, the easier obviously. I managed to pass the class with an A. He tells you everything on the test. It really is a matter of studying. The final exam was multiple choice and really easy.

He tells you exactly what to expect on each test and the final. He is sometimes confusing in class and moves really fast. I had to do a lot of studying but if you prepare the tests should be easy. He also gives many extra credit options that help your grade if you actually do them. Homework is optional. The final is just like the sample one.

Dr. Y is a great professor. He is super smart and seems very serious but actually has a funny side. His lectures are short and sweet. He teaches you just what you need to know. DO THE SUGGESTED HOMEWORK PROBLEMS! They will literally be the same as on your exams. I am taking him again next semester for another math class!

Professor Yamamoto is a great teacher, he goes through a couple of sections a class and gives the class a chance to say if they need more time or to go over something again. You must speak up if you need help understanding or want to see more examples, he has no problem taking more time on a subject but if nobody speaks up, he will move on.

Hands down the best math professor I have ever had. I was worried about taking a compressed math course over 6 weeks, when math is not my strong-suit, and made it through. I would not want any other professor to teach me mathamatics. He provides real world examples to the math to help you understand the material at a deeper level.

Great professor and I think it depends on an individuals learning style. I love straight forward teaching and focusing on things that actually matter for tests. I have taken others and with all of the EXTRA teaching they confuse me. I am not trying to be an engineer just want to learn what I need to pass and he does that well. He keeps it REAL!

Do. The. Suggested. Problem. #1 way to pass the class. If you need help speak up, he won't make you feel stupid. He has a super funny side and can get off topic if you let him. Be an adult and tell him what you need from him & you will do fine. He has an accent so that's a little hard but you get used to it. At least atempt the extra credit!

Professor Yamamoto is easily the best professor at EFSC, I've taken him for everything from College algebra to Liberal Arts to Calculus. He turns complex topics into very simple terms and he's great at what he does. Yes he loves to talk about baseball and sometimes he'll ramble a bit but he's always interesting. 10/10 would always recommend.

He is a funny instructor that gives a lot of extra credit and drops your lowest test score. He also gives some take home tests.

Great teacher. Very understanding of student issues. He extended test and homework deadlines because of Hurricane Irma. I sent him three emails throughout the time period of the class, and he responded within a couple hours. He also foresaw where students could possibly stumble and sent out warning emails before students could get into trouble.

I guess it's all personal preference bc I think he's great! He explains math as if I know NOTHING which is just want I need. Very thorough and clear. I actually had him before and dropped him but this was back when I didn't take school seriously. If you want to actually learn, not just pass, he is the best. Highly educated and loves rock music.

Yamamoto was a really good teacher. He teaches quickly and does have a little accent, but its not hard to understand him. There is no homework grades so you have to do well on the tests, but he teaches thoroughly and offers bonus points. He also grades tests for partial credit which is nice. I took him for algebra and will take again for stats.

I took Yamamoto in the 6 week semester. He gave us 7 take home quizzes and 3 take home bonuses to add on to our lowest quiz grade. He tends to go on long tangents but he ties his stories to the lesson. He is very quick so its best to print out the slides or bring a laptop. Stats was a hard topic but he made it an easy class and i finished with an A

Usually 3 sections of MyMathLab due each week with a quiz. Sometimes 4 chapters and 2 quizzes. 3 tests that weren't proctored and 1 proctored Final test that was open book. I wouldn't recommend taking math online but professor Yamamoto made this class a lot easier than it could have been. The practice final exam was very similar to the actual test.

I've taken Yamamoto for intermediate Algebra and College Algebra. The video lectures through MyMathLab were sufficient, which is good because this guy takes forever to look at his inbox, which is really my only complaint. The lowest test and quiz score ar automatically dropped, and he's kind enough to push the due dates back whenever MML goes down.

i took him during the summer semester online. he had a discussion due every sunday, lots of homework , 2 sections due each week with 1-2 quiz and one test on each section. hes class is straight forward not a bunch filler topics based on his announcements he seems a bit cold but IDC personally. He don't give extra credit or extensions

I took this as a summer class and it was pretty easy for me. I finished the class in the first month and just had to wait to take the final in August. You have easy discussions where you just put a problem you had trouble with and respond to someone who had a problem that was easy for you. Everything was through mymathlab. Pretty easy I'd say.
