He's a good guy. Great at explaining things and using examples to make boring topics interesting. It's a pretty easy class, and there's not much work required on a weekly basis. Each week you have to type a short discussion post, and there's an open book quiz on related content. There's two papers, which are the hardest parts of the classRate My Professors ↗
Aaron is the best professor I've ever had. Period. His policies are tough, but fair. His lecture style is engaging and he has a lot of discussion every day. Take one of his classes, seriously!Rate My Professors ↗
Aaron Yarmel is the best professor at the University. He is engaging and incredibly intelligent. He is funny and quirky, and I have never learned so much or engaged so intensely in a class. You will love him as a person, love him as a teacher, and fall in love with philosophy. Again, I cannot speak highly enough of him. TAKE HIS CLASS.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Yarmel is mainly worth your time going to class. He is engaging and makes sure to get everyone engaged, so come prepared. He is someone that makes sure to discuss a topic thoroughly, so as long as you've had a good cup of coffee in the morning, his class is always fairly engaging.Rate My Professors ↗
