Reviews of professor Sam Yacoub

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Most of what the others stated is true. He promised my class that he would give extra credit and drop the lowest test score but NEVER did it. That hurt me significantly cause it is my first F had I known he wasn't going to adjust grades as promised I would've dropped the class.

Sam was a very nice teacher. He is heavy on powerpoints, so I would recommend printing out (text only) a word doc of the power point BEFORE class. He sometime lets you know what MIGHT be on the test, so you would be able to highlight it really quick. His questions can be pretty tough so make sure you STUDY! You will not pass if you do not study!

Want to be self taught? Take Yacoub! He's nice enough, but puts in 0 effort. you read material & take a quiz on it before going over it in class, during which he reads off slides that match what you've read... no new info is given. He forgets to take attendance which is good since you're better off studying on your own then wasting time in class.

I was prepared to teach myself but no one in my class received any extra credit either. He didn't respond to any of my emails about it. That's great if you had a better experience than I did.

OK, let me start by saying that professor Sam is a great teacher that cares and really helps his students, many students are actually looking for his class and actually follow him. A student said that you will be self-taught in his class, that is true if you are not following directions and are basically LAZY.

I took A&P1 with Prof. Yacoub last semester and I was hoping to find him again for A&P2 but I couldn't. He is the best professor I have had in my college years. He is funny, helpful, and knows his stuff. Gives out his phone number to reach him outside of class, I can't see any reason why people are failing this course with him. 10/10 recommend him.

He's great. It may seem repetitive at times but it's worth hearing over and over again. Cares about your concerns and is funny. Offers extra credit when appropriate. Don't skip. Would take again. Bummed he is not doing AP2.

A and P on its own in a very detailed subject. This Professor make u work for your grade. I took him for lecture and lab. He gives you 6 test + 1 final. For lab, 3 tests. No grades are dropped. Theres also a disorder presentation for his class. There wasnt much of a review and it was a pretty tough class. But hes a very nice and funny gentlema
