Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Those who are required to take one science course must take this course with her

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
WARNING: Do NOT take her class unless you are fluent in strong Indian accent with British pronunciation at lightening speed. She covers material very quickly and doesnt stop to ask if there are any questions. She is very difficult to understand and hard to process what she is saying.

Dr Yaqub is not only intelligent but an amazing professor. She encourages class participation. She is so much on the level of her students and has this way of making everyone feel, not just comfortable, but happy, excited. Very enthusiastic, very clear, always willing to help and gives extra credit. Exams are challenging but very fair.

One quiz every week. Labs are not difficult but necessary for good grades. Homework long but carry low weight, you can miss one or two. A lot of extra credit available. 3 Tests, some are long and time allotted is the same. Show effort and clear understanding of lectures and you'll pass. If you try, you will pass.

Professor Yaqub is NEVER clear in her instructions. When you ask for clarification because you are confused she either 1)laughs at you and your incompetence or 2)yells at you for asking for clarification. You will never know what you are supposed to do so you often have to guess and hope that your guess is correct and that your grade isn't ruined.
