Sunny is awesome. Her lectures are incredibly well structured and engaging. She gives great feedback on assignments and allows resubmissions for everything but the final paper. She is obviously very passionate about the subject matter and it shows in the quality of her lectures.

I really enjoyed Professor Yudkoffs class! She was engaging and made the content interesting and easy to learn. She expects a lot from her students but is always willing to help and answer questions. Attendance in class is mandatory but the lectures are interesting and she engages the class throughout.

She loves taking random half points and full points off on assignments which at first does not seem like a problem. Half of the time there won't even be an explanation for why these half points were taken off. These points add up and add up causing my grade to keep dropping. I email her over and over to receive a bull shit response.

A lot of these comments had problems with Professor Yudkoff but I didn't see her class this way. I took her for Jewish Humor, and while some lectures could be dry, I found her engaging. She made her expectations clear and allowed re-dos on assignments, exams, and essays based on feedback. There are a lot of readings but be sure to do them!

She is an absolute loser. Hate this lady. Should not be teaching anyone, even pre schoolers. She stinks and is meaner than a bully in a Disney movie. On Wisconsin, but not on with her.
