• Student feedback:
• "The teacher was fantastic!! I loved the topic, I love her straightforwardness and I love the material. She taught everything in a fun and no-nonsense way. The course was engaging and very relevant! My favourite class in the whole semester."
• "The lecturer is great. She is so engaging and fun to listen to. She brought in many real world examples that it was easy to understand the full picture!"
• "The teacher was really well educated, knew what to do. She also applied class feedback to help fit students needs."
• "Yael is great and the fact that she is so passionate about what she is teaching just adds even more. She is amazing and would always ask us throughout the semester if all is good and if there is anything about the course we would like to change. Once we told her we want more class exercises, and she indeed gave us more to do but in my opinion is wasn't necessarily enough still."
• "Yael was a great lecturer! Her classes were always very engaging, clear, and interesting. She brought material from the real world which is highly appreciated as there can sometimes be a gap between what we learn in class to what happens in the real world. In-class assignments and exercises were very helpful."
