Spring 2024 - This man is heaven-sent. THE BEST PROFESSOR!!! I'm not even exaggerating. He is super helpful and accommodating. Yes, there is a multiple choice and short essay part (for both midterm and final) but they're super easy if you do the homework. Also, there's a final paper (usually with a prompt but students have somewhat free range to talk about what they want as long as it follows the assignment) which is easy to do if you do the work. This is my fourth time taking him because he is just that good. With the protests going on campus, he was super understanding of the stress and severity of the situation. I don't want to say too much about how accommodating he was because I wanna gatekeep but also because I don't want people to take advantage of his kindness (call me a teacher's pet I don't care). I just can't truly express how much of an amazing human being he is. Aside from academia (which, he is also really good at), he has a heart of gold.

Winter 2024 - Great class with a great professor! This class is straightforward and well-organized as it's divided into three modules with an exam for each. Professor Yeritsian explains concepts clearly and is always willing to answer any questions. You can tell that he truly cares about his students and their success. Make sure to complete all the readings and take thorough notes during lecture. To study for exams, I suggest creating a study guide using the key terms and organizing your notes around them. It's a very fair and doable class if you are willing to put in the effort. Highly recommend taking this class with Professor Yeritsian.
