Reviews of professor Laura Yakas

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Yakas is THE BEST. She is a fantastic woman and a fantastic teacher. She loves the materials she is teaching and genuinely cares about her students. She listens to her students and respects their opinions as well as their writing techniques.

I would highly recommend taking a class with Laura. She is a very good teacher, has interesting lectures, and is super understanding if you're having a difficult time with something. There is a lot of reading for the class, but if you can't do it for one week it's not going to mess you up. She is fun, chill, smart, helpful, and great.

I was extremely disappointed by the 1-credit online course I took with Prof. Yakas. This is the only 1-credit course I've come across at the SSW that is not able to be taken P/F, so beware if you care about your GPA. Extremely subjective grader without clear grading expectations. Only way to do well is to talk more than her in class.
