Reviews of professor Jose-Miguel Yamal

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Yamal, I'm sure based on his CV is a great academic, however as a professor, he was very weak. Was unable to get in touch with him outside of class. Skipped class one week and made TA's lecture. Heavy on participation and attendance however, you learn more on your own in the book than in class. If there are other available sections sign up.

I do not recommend taking 1690 with Yamal. The average for the midterm was an 80 in his class while in other classes theirs was a 90. The homeworks are very long and do not count much towards your grade. They only focus on a few detailed things on the midterm -- so study EVERYTHING. He is also not responsive through email. TA grading is everywhere.
