Winter 2023 - These harsh reviews are definitely off the mark. I almost didn't take this class because of these reviews but I am glad I gave it a shot. Professor Yirush is a good lecturer and he is passionate about what he teaches. He's a tough grader in the sense that he will dock points for grammatical errors, but a quick visit to the writing center should be enough to prevent points from being docked. He is definitely not condescending. He is really easygoing and approachable. He is always reminding the class to drop-in to his office hours and he is open to scheduling office hour visits by appointment if you can't make it during his schedule office hours. Overall, a great professor. I only wish he used powerpoints since I am a visual-learner. But that aside, this is a great class. If you a Revolutionary War-nerd like me you will really like this class.
