He's pretty good out of the choices you have for linear algebra professors.",

    "comment": "Professor Yastrzhembskiy is a decent professor, but not very helpful if you ask for clarification. His lectures are difficult to understand, and you will most likely have to rewatch them. He has a nice sense of humor to cheer up the mood. There are biweekly quizzes in the discussion sections, which help prepare you for exams. He is overall okay.",

However, the setting of this class is absolutely awful, 76% percent of the grade is the three tests. The real question is difficultly of test in S25 is relatively harder than the previous semester.",

He has a pretty thick Slavic accent, which can make the lecture hard to follow occasionally, but the provided notes worksheets entirely make up for it. The content of his class is very difficult, so I can understand why people struggle with it, but he is always available to help out. ",
