Reviews of professor Yonas Getahun

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
P. Getahun is truly excited to teach. This is not a particularly easy class, but professor does a great job and is happy to help. Attendance helps grades. Ignore bad reviews, those students did not attend class/study. The F students failed to pay attention/show up. The assignments aren't difficult. Show work. He gives lots of partial credit.

Professor Getahun is the best! Although sometimes the handwriting is difficult to read, he gives plenty of great examples during lecture! He is truly excited to teach. He provides great study guides and you get an A4 sized sheet of notes on each exam. Bad reviews are simply left by students who have and continue to make poor life decisions.

You need to take him immediately because he teaches with passion and it's very easy to learn as long as you come to class and pay attention. type shi

The class itself is not hard, but for some reason I noticed a lot of people don't do well in this class. Lots of notes in lecture, but I promise if you show up to lecture, and put in some effort, you will do fine in this class. He is a very nice and SUPER engaging professor. If you show you care about the subject, he will show you same respect.

Yonas Getahun does not teach well. Continually loses focus and does not stay on topic. If you want to learn, then I suggest not taking him.

I took Professor Getahun last year and gave him a good review because his class was EASY TO PASS, not necessarily due to him being a good teacher. But it seems he has altered his syllabus to make it more difficult to pass which is why so many have turned against him. If that is the case, I wouldn't take him as his teaching skills weren't that good.

Professor Yonas is an amazing teacher, he's very energetic and straight forward in what he expects of us and there are no surprises in his tests, he always takes a whole class period before the test day and gives examples, overall an amazing teacher, he really cares about his students and if you get the privilege of taking him, you should!

Very passionate in what he's teaching. Stresses class participation. Very math heavy course, definitely want to refresh on Algebra 1 topics before taking. Graded work is few, studying is required for the test. Provides questions from the book as study questions and homework assignments. Book is available as a PDF, do not buy, just google the name.

Lectures were often confusing and seemed poorly prepared. Show up to class, and the tests are not take home. A lot of the examples were confusing and difficult to follow. If you show up and study you will get an A or B, but if you don't then don't expect a high grade. Put in the work required for this class if you want to do well.
