Yasha Spriha BMGT364 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/19/2023	Cannot recommend her enough. For her first time teaching, she did a phenomenal job. Even though there were kinks to work out at first, she was always receptive to feedback and truly does her best to create an environment suitable for learning. The class is a lot of busy work, but not too bad if you space it out. Exams were fair and for the most part reflects what was covered during class. Overall, I had a good time and I’m confident that she will go on to be a great professor!
Yasha Spriha BMGT364 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/13/2023	First semester at smith and she was probably my favorite professor. She gave good constructive feedback that was timely enough to apply. Overall easy grader, but a lot of writing assignments. The writing assignments were fairly easy though. In class there was a lot of group work, and lectures were actually engaging. Not a boring professor at least.
Yasha Spriha BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/02/2023	She is the kindest and warmest professor I've taken a class with. She is genuinely invested in you. Goes out of her way to help you with stuff. The class is super organized. She sends reminders before important deadlines, replies to emails in no time. She is very good. 100% recommend taking her class
Yasha Spriha BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/27/2023	Yasha is a young aspiring professor. She takes input from her students and emphasizes communication and clarity. She really cares about the class and does not want anyone to do poorly. She asks for lots of feedback from her students and is willing to change. I think she is still figuring out exactly how she wants to run her class but is transparent in the process. Upon request of the class she made one of the midterms at home. She strongly values class participation, while some may find this challenging it is not that difficult. She lessened the participation requirements after listening to the class further cementing her leniency. Overall it can be seen in Canvas that she grades fairly easily. She really cares about learning the theories in the course and applying them. Keep this in mind and be present in class, and this class won't be a problem.
Yasha Spriha BMGT364 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/06/2023	Professor Spriha is an extremely hardworking and dedicated professor to her students and coursework. She very often takes and encourages class feedback and adjusts her course as necessary. Other reviews claim that she does not keep track of participation, when, in fact, she will rewatch lecture recordings in order to give full participation retroactively if she notices that you do not have full participation points to make sure that she has not missed anything. Her teaching style is highly engaging and still very easy to follow and her assessments are reflective of course content and the lectures in class. There is a group project that has minimal requirements and is easy points as long as you do the bare minimum, as it is, for the most part, graded on completion. All in all, Professor Spriha is one of the best professors I have had at the Smith school because you can see how much she truly cares about her students and the class. She goes to great lengths to make sure that everyone is doing well and learning and is also very easy to talk to outside of class if you have any issues with anything at all.
Yasha Spriha BMGT364 Expecting an A- Anonymous 03/28/2023	I would not at all recommend you take Professor Spriha. This is one of the most disorganized classes I have taken. Class participation is a large part of your grade but her system to keep track of it is beyond mediocre; be prepared to not receive full participation because she cannot keep track of it. There is a group project throughout the semester which has minimal instructions. There is no clarification of requirements for the project and almost seems like a free for all. She has a very odd teaching style which I never want to be a part of again along with many other students who have said the same thing. I highly recommend going with another professor as taking her class will only cause you headaches and stress
