Reviews of professor Kevin Yourman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professors lectures not to long and are interesting during his lectures he will ask questions and grade you on participation don't be nervous tho he respects all answers. He does grade participation loves an engaging class. He offers so much extra credit and no midterms or finals. The final is a foreign or domestic issue of your choice to write.

A strong recommendation. He offers an engaging PS class and I enjoyed the interest-based projects. He rewards you for the effort you put into assignments, so if you follow his rubrics, you don't need to worry about it. By the way, he isn't big on tests. No midterms; finals were 5% of our grade. Just be careful not to get behind on your Media Chart.

Professor Yourman is a great teacher. Although this class did require a lot of work I personally think it's worth it because your grade does not solely rely on tests or papers. Participation is huge in this class so make sure you do it. He is honestly such an easy grader as long as he sees that he put in effort to your work.

Lots of extra credit! Always a great listener to different ideas and is always honest.

Even though he is not a tough grader, he assigns homework as we were in high school. Every week we have to write a paper, do online quizzes for every chapter, etc. Plus, he sometimes loses his temper in front of students which is not respectful nor professional at all. The only good thing is that at the end of the semester the workload is reduced.

He is a great teacher. Participation matters because it's just the way he chooses to teach and it's great because you can voice your opinion and it can be quite fun to see the different sides, even if it ends up in a class debate. There is a decent amount of homework and the papers help prepare you for future classes just don't procrastinate.

He is the greatest professor in IVC. He discuss today's political issue, and would like to have a class discussion about them. He is fair grader and very friendly.I learnt alot from his class. I would highly recommand him.

LOVED Yourman!! He made class/lectures fun & interesting. Very knowledgeable & loves class discussions. Looks for participation. Don't buy textbook- use one in the library or the powerpoints posted on canvas. Online homework heavy but doable if you manage your time & stay on top of assignments. Lots of extra credit offered so take advantage of it!

He took over our class halfway through the semester and was amazing. He genuinely cares about what he is teaching and knows what he is talking about. He assigns a lot of work, but its more time-consuming than difficult. Instead of just talking at us, his lectures featured genuine discussion that made us think about our views.
