Reviews of professor Yonas Getahun

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
 I have to drive an hour to class only to have him make me fail the class after working 3 jobs, while being a single parent, and on the verge of being evicted from my section A housing due to spending time on homework for this class and affecting my livelihood. The professor never responds to their emails to hear me out.

He does 3 exams worth 80% of your grade. And 4 assignments he takes a month to grade with no feedback. Deducts points for not showing work after saying he only wanted answers submitted. Attendance is mandatory but not factored into grades. Repeats himself on basic topics but glances over the advanced topics. Doesn't follow his own syllabus rules.

He is an awesome person and is willing to help, but the material he is teaching is very hard so just study and pay attention.

I've been using the same calculator all semester. This dude sends out an announcement 24hrs before the final that i can no longer use the same calculator i have used for all other tests and have been studying for the final with This has been a brute force memorization class he wants you to drain your brain on arithmetic rather than learn concepts.

I understand that many people like Professor Getahun but I have a few issues with his class. He is a very passionate teacher, and knows his stuff, but he talks quickly, covers large chunks of info, and has an accent that makes him sometimes hard to follow. His reviews aren't very detailed either, having you cover things that may not be on the test.

Awful experience! Do not take this professor. I had to drop/withdraw from the class before he affected my 4.0 GPA.

3 tests are 80% of your grade, no margin for error in this class, does not let you take tests home after you're done so good luck figuring out what you did wrong. Thick accent and scattered nature of teaching makes lectures hard to understand but attendance is mandatory, never responded to my email, takes forever to post grades.

Honestly awful. Don't expect to pass without going to the lectures. Tests on very subtle and dumb sections of discrete math and he skips over important concepts to do algorithms and math. The exam reviews all have misinformation and are cluttered with topics not even on the exam. My class average on exams were failing/barely passing :)

Very enthusiastic, passionate, and funny professor. Miss one lecture and you're very behind. Class has three tests that makeup 80% of your grade. Just lock in for each lecture and take good notes and you should be successful. Rounds grade a max of .5 at the end of semester only if you had good attendance. Lets you have an index card for exams.
