As someone who is awful at science, Yount was definitely my best bet for biology. Lectures were long but bearable. As long as you complete the labs and extra credit modules and STUDY, this class is not too difficult.

I am horrible at science but I didn't mind Yount's class. All the information I needed for the tests I got from his lectures (I didn't open my book once). The tests are hard but if you study even just a little they're not so bad. Yount is hilarious, couldn't have asked for a better bio teacher. Do the labs and pay attention and you'll be fine.

Dr. Yount is very smart. He knows his stuff and wants you to succeed. He doesnt play around and expects the very best out of his students. Be prepared to study very hard for this class! If you plan to slack, text in class, or skip all together dont waste your time. If you work hard and have motivation, you can absolutely succeed in this class.

Best professor I ever had. He never just sits and read his powerpoint like almost every other professor you would have. For the first time in many semesters, I was coming out of the lecture with information retained. His lectures are interesting and he won't get mad if you ask him questions. But you do have to study in his class.

I was worried going into the class because I had heard not to take bio with Dr Yount but he was probably my favorite professor I had at EFSC. His lectures are really good and the labs helped me understand what we were learning. As long as you study before the tests and take notes youll do fine. (I do recommend watching crash course videos too)

Dr. Yount is hands down one of my favorite professors. He's funny and makes lectures so interesting, making it easier to absorb information. He's brilliant, definitely knows every subject he teaches very well. You have to put in the work to earn your grade, but it just makes it that much more rewarding. Highly recommend him to everyone!!

Absolutely hilarious guy makes lectures really fun. He says things in a way that you will remember them during the tests and everything is very straight forward, there's no trick questions or surprises.

If you took Bio in high school and didnt understand it do not take it with Dr. Yount. He is pretty cool and all but it is not an easy class. April is that last full we will be in his class and I have 2 to 3 labs do in a week. Towards the end of April I have four labs due in the same week.

Funny, encourages feedback in class, and pretty good about telling you exactly whats going to be on tests and practicals. Hes pretty understanding and willing to work with you when necessary. Read the material. Take notes. Encourages group study. Open book tests.

Took him for Biology, great class but it was super hard. Do not take this class unless you are willing to work very hard. Always read the lab manuals before class and don't miss a lab. Learned a lot, but also did a lot of work. Pay attention to the lectures and lab instructions or you WILL fall behind.

While Professor Yount challenged me, he was an excellent teacher. He is a good lecturer and was able to actually teach the material in a way that was easy to understand. His tests were hard and he has high expectations. He is quick to answer questions and respond to emails. If you are not scared of studying and actually learning, he is awesome.

I loved every minute of my experience with Professor Yount! His lectures are incredibly informational and you can tell he truly knows what he is talking about. There are no curveballs with Yount, everything on his tests are covered in lectures. He is definitely one of the best professors I have ever had!

Professor Yount was and still is one of my favorite professors. I took him for A&P 1&2. These courses are not easy courses. You must study but he truly gives the resources needed to pass the course. These classes were a lot of fun for me and I learned more than I have in any other course.

I have taken multiple courses with Dr. Yount and I enjoyed my time in all of them. Microbiology is very lab heavy so expect to have lots of lab reports. His lectures are engaging and easy to understand which makes the exams highly doable. He is a great professor with a silly personality, just do the assigned work and you will excel.

Dr. Yount is a captivating lecturer who makes complex material engaging. While the workload is heavy, using unstuckstudy alongside the free textbook helps ace the exams. Just stay focused and you'll do great.
