Pros: Great lectures
Cons: Hard exams
Professor Yotov is an exceptional professor. He will do anything to make sure his students are doing well. He has tutoring sessions about an hour before class starts, and answers all of your questions. He's a funny professor, and he will try his best to make sure you get a good grade on the exams.

Pros: -Really care's about teaching and loves doing it.
-He's funny and engaging.
-Is great at making sure everyone really understands the material.
-Repeats important information so you're not scrambling to write everything down.
-His accent is clear and understandable. It looks like he's had that problem in the past but he's clearly worked on it.
Cons: Really can't think of any
Extremely nice guy, really knows what he's doing and should be teaching other professors how to teach in my opinion. Really tries to improve himself for the better of the student. The quizzes and homework are only there to help you stay on top of the material for the exams. The exams aren't easy but if you do the homework's, go to class and go to his study sessions you can get an A.

Pros: Awesome and nice professor!!! Takes time to help students whenever he can.
Cons: Heavy workload! No joke! Morning class...
He is another great professor at Drexel University and he really like his job. However, this class wasn't easy. Not an easy A, you have put a lot effort if you really want to get an A.

Pros: Well structured class
Heavy curves (helpful)
Lots of time available beyond class
Clear, outlined lectures
Cons: Some analysis requires explanation
Professor Yotov is a great, great professor. I'll admit, I signed up to his class because of his perfect reviews and the fact that I needed the credit, but I learned a lot from his class and enjoyed applying the knowledge I learned from his class towards others. Grading is moderately curved on exams, grading is fair, and questions are very welcomed during class. Also, he's available beyond class and holds many 'office hours' as a form of extra class time. The only con I have about the class is that some analysis is rushed, in the sense that it requires more explanation than provided (and the book doesn't cover many of the practical applications). I can understand the need to cover all the content within Drexel's 10 weeks, but still would recommend more time spent on certain areas. I would highly recommend taking his classes. Attendance isn't mandatory, but to truly grasp the concepts you'll want to attend his classes. With curving, plenty of extra help, and opportunity to discount/drop tests, put in the effort and you'll do great.

Pros: Helps students non-stop
Has a lot of experience
He is not stubborn and listens to questions and complains
Cons: This is not a i'll do it the last minute class. You need to be on top of the material from the beginning of the term. Attendance not mandatory but necessary in my opinion
Very Fair and cool professor. Knows how to explain things the right way, will repeat for students who ask questions. Has office hours and is a great professor if you want to do well. He gives extra credit, drops lowest h/w, quiz, test it is hard not to get an A or B depending how much u like econ. The workload is not heavy (it was heavier in BSN 101/102) but the material is harder.

I've taken his classes since freshman year. Absolutely love this guy. Totally cares for his students. Goes above and beyond to make the lesson and theories/concepts clear to you. Put in A effort and you won't be disappointed.

Pros: Professor Yotov is amazing. He really cares about how students learn and the progress of every student. He is willing to drop the lowest midterm and give you a make-up exam during the final. Attendance is not mandatory but he remembers if you show up at classes all time. Do all the work and you will sure get an easy A
Cons: He is not from America so his accent sometimes is hard to understand but that is all.

Yoto is an extremely nice person and professor. He is very understanding. He tried to make econ as exciting as possible and if you came to class and participated the tests aren't too bad. He also is very open to have office hours and is ready to help. I really learned a lot in this class.

Pros: His a great guy and a better professor. He is willing to go over single problem with you. He will meet you after class in his office anytime you need help and sit down explaining everything. In class he does a great job using problem examples and carefully explaining everything.
Cons: Nothing. This guy does everything a professor should do and he goes beyond his duties to teach students
His exams are moderate-difficult. BUT he does do a great job reviewing and giving similar projects and homework so the exam becomes really easy if you study and do the homework. Yoto has my respect as a amazing professor. Worth every minute of his class. Attendance wasn't mandatory and i still did not miss a day. He made the class fun without deviating from the point of college, studying. TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF YOUR TUITION.

Yotov is a very fair grader and cares incredibly for his students. This however is not an easy A. It is a fairly easy B- to B range but to do well do not miss any of his classes! He is very informative goes over everything drops several of the lowest grades and often times substitutes surveys for grades. He will work with you if you work with him. The work load are 2 or 3 problem sets you have 9 days to complete it. 3 total exams including the final. Tests may be hard if you do not study/ pay attention in class.

I have done horribly on all the tests in his class, but because I come to class every day and I go and meet with him during office hours, he thinks I can get a B and possibly an A- in his course. He really cares about the students who aren't doing well, but come to class. Just go see him during his office hours and he will help you a lot.

Great teacher, loved the class. Out of the 4 quizzes you are guaranteed 100% on 2 of them and he drops one. He drops a problem set and no one gets below a C on those anyway.
His grading is a little unfair, he really benefits the people who do bad and doesnt really give incentive to those who do well...easy B, tough A, damn near impossible to fail

really good teacher, and really cares about the students. the material is hard so his tests are difficult, but he makes it nearly impossible to fail with his curve and grading policy. highly recommend him, i actually learned stuff and didn't get bombarded with work. hes a really chill guy too

I am a junior and this guy has by far been the best professor I've ever had. He is a very passionate instructor who genuinely cares about his students' learning experience. That being said, his classes are challenging and he will test your knowledge. But he is always willing to help and his door is always open if you have questions. Great professor, will take him again if I can.

This guy absolutely rocks, and Drexel needs to tenure him ASAP. Attendance is not required, at all, which is nice. He will explain ANYTHING to you, even if it is something you truly should know from Micro or Macro or whatever. If you do poorly on a test (which he grades extremely fairly, and puts a fat curve on them every time)he will offer to sit with you and talk about it and help you raise your grade. He is ridiculously accessible, seemingly always in his office, and he is an extremely nice guy in general. He also has the sweetest name ever - Yoto V. Yotov. How do you beat that? Highly recommended!

Great professor.
I'm in my third year at Drexel and this professor is by far one of the best I've had.
He's very flexible, caring, holds office hours, invites you to see him, and basically repeats the concepts in class for extra review each class.
I wasn't well one day, and I needed to be excused, never had a professor so sweet and understanding.
When it comes to homework, and exam grading, he doesn't play. He makes them hard enough to challenge you so you know you can't mess around in his class.
