Very hard to understand him at all whether through emails or in class lectures. He got very upset when students asked questions during his lectures and when student were unclear about something he made hard to understand in the first place. Avoid him if you can

Yasha was a great professor. He wants everyone to work for their grade so no, it wont be an easy A. He doesnt have much patience and will freak out in front of the class but other than that a good guy.

Hard class, but you should be capable to pass. If you can avoid taking him, do it. His accent is thick and hard to understand, especially in the beginning. I thankfully had the opportunity to take the class taught by 2 different instructors, and definitely learned and retained more from the other instructor.

His accent is thick and easily annoyed when students ask questions. Class is extremely boring however pop-quizzes count as attendance. Projects are confusing and instructions unclear.

People who already know the content do well, everyone else struggles. He is easily frustrated, yells at students for asking questions and is generally unprofessional. Slides come from the textbook we don't have, he doesn't know what's on them. Grading is arbitrary. Worst experience in the program, and I had to take 2 courses from him

Comment:

The University enjoys capitalizing on his connections for international business trips to save a buck. However, his temper tantrums and frustration with small issues during the trip that were either beyond anyone's control or his fault mean he is not well suited to plan trips. I learned very little. Until he's out, delay taking this course.

My least favorite professor at SUNY Albany. You can barely understand him, he makes mistakes often when trying to explain complicated subjects and in the homework assignments he assigns. I attend class but never pay attention because he does not make any sense. I have learned more about statistics from google.

Comment:

This class was painfully boring. Professor Jakov teaches a lot of theory without any real world examples. He is a career teacher that knows a lot about statistical theory but fails to bring theory into every day application and use. Furthermore, his approach can be condescending and his patience for students struggling to learn is short.

The lectures are long and dull but if you can bear with Professor Yasha, you can get an A. The Tuesday class is mandatory while the Thursday class is optional. Highly recommend going to both classes. The exams are confusing but doable. Get a good TA for the labs otherwise you will suffer. If you need help, the professor is always willing to help.

soooo hard to understand because of thick accent. go to class because he gives pop quizzes (gave 5 this semester) and they can srsly improve your grade if you do good on them. the online hw are super easy, u get 3 tries on every ques. the projects are easy too cuz TAs do them with you during lab. tests are hard, make sure you read the text for them

Comment:

Rarely attended classes and I got by in the class. The material is pretty boring and self-explanatory if you do the Wiley+ homework and the projects (which are easy because the TA's basically do them for you). HEAVY, HEAVY ACCENT, so you really need to pay attention in class. Pop-quizzes but only worth 2 points. Dull humor

You do not have to go to class.. EVER. They are absolutely unbearable. I went to class only for the exams. Literally treated it as an online course. Just do the Wiley Plus assignments, and use them to review for the exams. Make sure you go to lab, and get there on time because, they do the project for you. I got a B because his English is TERRIBLE.

Yasha is a really cool guy. He expects you to come to class and most of the work we do he explains in detail in class. He's really funny and makes a lot of jokes but the course material is really bland and boring. This class had easy labs with the TAs that basically did the project for you. Overall really cooly guy.

He's a good teacher and fair. The material is in the book and he does a good job reenforcing it. If you attend class regularly there isn't anything to be confused about. I learned a lot.

Academically he has to be the worst teacher in Albany just because you can't understand a WORD he says. On top of his thick accent, he has a lisp. I went to every class but didn't stand a chance during the projects and online quizzes because the directions are so unclear. I recieved straight As in business classes until now

All of I have to say is that this class NOT mandatory and you don't have to go, except for some specific days when you have to do the quizzes online. You do need the textbook for the HW. & the test are very easy, you can easily get a 90 & above. I got an A! Very easy!

This class isn't interesting or fun, but it's very easy and straight-forward. Multiple attempts at online homework assignments, extra credit, and tests straight from the book. The prof. isn't very clear, which makes some of the online Excel quizzes tricky due simply to formatting differences.
