Professor
Gary Yeritsian
Most Helpful Review
Fall 2025 - Although I like him as a person, Prof. Yeritsian often makes the content unnecessarily complicated. The subject matter itself is quite simple, but his lectures often go on distracting or pretentious tangents, which distract from understanding the topics and are not on the tests. His tests were also much too hard (my classmate had a D curve to a B+). The readings are often 50+ pages, twice a week, and you will be tested on the most obscure words from the text during the exams. Understanding the theories is not enough, a question on one of the exams was literally "Which reading refers to the most other texts?"...
