Professor Yackee is very nice and overall a good professor. She clearly explains topics in class and seems to care much about the students and what they think. Overall I thought the class was pretty easy, the average for the exams was in the 80's. The only downside is that her voice is slightly annoying.

Its not a difficult class and she knows what she's talking about, but she annoys me and I wouldn't take it in hindsight. Probably just my personal tastes though.

Clear and easy to understand. Not too difficult of a class if you go to lecture and discussion and do assignments. She knows a lot about her subject and really encourages participation. I enjoyed her and the class!

She's very nice but the class is very boring and difficult. The presentation is not easy to get a good grade on. I would not recommend this class.

New to the university this semester and I think a great addition! Group presentation is worth 40% of grade so have to make sure you do well. She gives a review for the midterm and final that is almost verbatium what the test will look like. Overall very enjoyable class.
