Papa Yaw consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of programming concepts and software design principles, often going beyond the course requirements to explore advanced topics. His ability to apply theoretical knowledge practically was evident in his projects, where he displayed excellent coding practices and a keen eye for detail.Additionally, his collaborative spirit and willingness to assist his peers not only enhanced his team's performance but also contributed positively to the classroom environment. It was a joy to witness his growth and passion for software development, and I have no doubt he will bring the same enthusiasm and expertise to any endeavor he pursues.

Katherine Campbell

WDD Instructor - BYU-Idaho

I have worked with Papa Yaw for two semesters at BYU-Idaho teaching a sophomore-level web design and development course. I have taught the course for nine years, and the majority of TAs have needed guidance in fulfilling responsibilities and in mastery of course material, which is to be expected. Working with Papa Yaw has been more like working with another instructor. His level of professionalism and his ability to take initiative based on observations would be a great asset to any team. Many times, I had students report to me that they had problems understanding a concept or completing an assignment, but Papa Yaw had already helped them through the issue. He also is a great communicator which helped our efforts to work together to make sure each of our students had the support and feedback they needed to succeed in the class. In the most recent semester, there were four students who needed special care and attention to successfully pass the class near the end of the term, and due to Papa Yaw's dedication and efficiency, we were able to work together to get the final grades for all students completed as well as help the four students finish the remaining work needed to not just pass, but that demonstrated competency in the course concepts at a level that would ensure success in the future courses in their programs. I had a couple of students contact me after the semester to let me know how much the support during the semester had made a difference in their confidence and progress in their educational plans, and Papa Yaw was key in our efforts to provide the support each student needed.
