REALLY nice & interesting, easy grader if you attempt to do the work. Makes it a fun class.
very easy A. I took the honors section and that was easy, so i'm sure the normal class would be easy. grades very fairly. just make sure you go to his class, cause he gets kinda upset when you don't.

This guy is a prodigy teacher.
Professor Yarbrough is awsome~~~ If you really don't understand something, then he will be gald to help you~~~
This professor is aaamazing! Made waking up at 7am worth it! Great sense of humor, great teacher. Sign up as fast as you can!
definitely the best teacher. will explain well and also will have loads of fun doing it.
Yarbrough, One cool dude! This cool cat that knows his stuff and makes leaning fun and you will actually learn something, English and a little about music too. The days of cold sweat and having a heart-attack with a really old English teacher,
This is the best English class ever!!! You will never get board with Mr. Yarbrough! I love this guy!! Very laid back and helpful. Take him if you can. Plus he's HOT!!!
Yarborough's comp/rhet class is really easy. I took his summer course and stayed awake too.
Awesome teacher. Really teaches you how to write a paper without just sending you out on your own. Always willing to answer questions. Makes class fun. Wonderful sense of humor.
Great teacher. Very funny.
Yarbrough is an awesome teacher! He is very funny! If you go to class and turn everything in I don't see how you couldn't make an A. He genuinely cares about how his students are progressing. FYI: Use the time he gives you to write in class!!!!
Awesome teacher! Helps you out in every way possible and not only does he teach you english but also teaches you lessons in life. AWESOME TEACHER! Highly Recommend him for english classes.
Scott Yarbrough is perhaps the best teacher at CCCCD all around.
Professor Yarbrough has to be the best teacher you could ask for! No it is not an easy grade, but every class takes effort. Yes, it was a piece of cake though because he makes sure everyone understands what the lesson is. Plus, he adds a little old school rock into his lesson plans. Take his clas
Greatest teacher ever. Teaches you about life as much as he does drama & poetry. Go to class and turn work in on time and you should get an A. He is also very funny.
Grades essays as they are written by English Professor as him. Essays are writen my students that are learning.
Relatively easy A. If you do your work and try just a little you'll do well. Funny, intersting guy.
he is the best professor i've ever had. makes class so much fun and he is hilarious. i wish he taught other classes too. definately take him. he's adorable
By far the best professor, I've ever had. He knows how to make you laugh and how to make you question life. He is an all together guy who helps you get the grade that you want to get!
HE IS AWSOME!!! FUNNY!! BEST LECTURER! Easy Easy Easy... 3 papers One grammer test easy final!! EASY A! U actaully wana show up for his class because it will be fun
The best teacher in CCCCD if you wana have good time take him he is very cool and extremely funny i got him in summer very easy best teacher in my opinion
We need more of Mr. Yarbrough in ccccd.He is the kind that makes college life easier for student. He is so great.
Prior to taking the class, I hated literature which is the focus of the course, along with poetry and plays. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He interprets the works into our everyday style of communication so they are easier to understand. I would highly recommend him to everyone!
His class is very informative and fun. He's not a pushover..The material can be hard but he sets it up to where you understand everything prior to doing an assignment. You will laugh and have fun in this class. He's a great guy that knows how to make the class interact. I would def. take another class with him

I had him for Composition I and II as well as both parts of World Liturature. He is a great teacher, but you hear the same stories after a while.
He is super! I took him in a summer class and it was great. He's very laidback, friendly and smart. We actually didn't have much homework. The tests were pretty straightforward. We were able to work on research papers in class at times. He is the best teacher by far!
AWESOME TEACHER, AMAZING teacher, acts out readings, and hey anyone who lets you watch young frankenstein for an exam hell yea.
Hands Down the best professor I have ever had. I never thought that I could learn so much. He is funny and very entertaining. He teaches it in a way that makes you want to come back for more.
This guy is the best teacher I ever had. He understood that I couldn't always attend class because of chemo and wished me the best. He's funny and will answer a question as many times as you need him to. His grades are few and far inbetween so that you can learn all you need to before he grades you. I wish there were more teachers like him!
He is an excellent teacher. His lectures are very animated and he has a passion for the material. He requires his students to think but helps them along the way. He is by far the best professor at CCCC.
I tried so hard and he still gaved me a C. English is my second language, but he knew how hard I tried. He talks alot in the class and has good jokes, but he grades horrible!
He's the greatest teacher I have ever had! You MUST get him for english!!
great teacher, very inspiring and pasionate about his work
I took him for a wintermester and didn;t mind being in class 4 hours..he lets you out early. Very helpful and will ensure you make an A in the class as long as you pay attention. Very entertaining and thought provoking course.
He is awesome! This is my second class with him and he really knows how to peak your curiosity about literature. I would strongly recommend him to everyone, especially those who hate the fact that they have to take a lit class and aren't especially interested in it. I went in hating it but ended loving it and even made an A!
The bomb ass teacher. Very funny.
I had good english teacher's before and I always liked the subject though I am from a non english speaking nation.This teacher added to that extra interest that I had.I was a bit worried about taking his honors class,but to my surprise he made that far more interesting and easy.Would definitely recommend taking his class.
He's an awesome teacher! Very easy. He's passionate about english, you will learn a lot and have so much fun!
i LOVE him!!!!!!!!! he is the best teacher i have ever had. he is funny and easy to get along with! take him! you have to register fast tho bc his class fills up quick!
He is so awesome. Enough said.
OM Gosh- will someone please give this man a raise?!? He is SUCH a good professor! He totally loves his job and keeps you interested in class the whole time. He actually wants you to understand the material, not just regurgitate it for a test. If you can fix your schedule to take his class- DO IT!!! You will have a bunch of fun!
Excellent professor! Easy A! Take his class. He is a fun, interesting lecturer. No need to buy the text; he teaches you everything you need to know. Wish I could take him again!
You should be so blessed as to have him as your professor. I had such a bad experience with my English 1 teacher that I was scared to see what English 2 held in store for me. I was beyond pleasantly surprised. He is the most kind, interesting and understanding professor I have EVER had. I know why he got professor of the year.
BEST TEACHER EVER. deserves every award he has ever gotten. he is beyond awesome! his classes fill up within the first hr of regristration
BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD! Wonderful friend, excellent teacher, passionate person...YARBROUGH YOU ROCK MAN!
tooooooooo ooooooooooo funny
best teacher ever
This is so far the best professor I've ever had. He is funny, intelligent, passionate, exellent and extra helpfull. Very concerned and cares about his students. You Rock Mr. Yarbrough. I got an A. highly recommended.
Like you all, this was the best experience I had with a teacher in school. I loved his humor and methods in helping everyone each day. HE IS WONDERFUL and HE DOES deserve every award he has gotten. Very gifted man. His humility and sharing of his life experiences are contributors to his great success as a man, professor and friend.
OMG he is hilarious! i would definitely recommend him. Easy A as well!
He is God. He is Buddha. He is Allah. We all WORSHIP you man!
He's the best professor ever!!!! i love this guy!
UMMM IF YOU DON'T TAKE HIM FOR ENGLISH...you're crazy! he is so hilarious and he reminds me of robin williams. He is super easy and you only have one test and the rest are papers..and the papers are really easy topics too. i love mr. yarbrough
he is the best professor a quad c i fyou aint taking english with, well im going to tell you that you are a dumbass
He is hilarious!I was laughing so hard on the 2nd day of class. he's animated when he talks. He's really a great teacher..easy A as well!I would drive 21 miles just to take his Engl 1302 class. I would definitely recommend him.
i took his class 3 years ago and still think about him and the stories we've read in class and things he told us.
HE IS SOOOOO FUNNY! He cracks me up everyday. I never skipped his class cuz I always needed a good laugh. He tells stories of his life to give examples. Only one paper and a quiz after every drama piece we read and two tests the whole semester. If you don't make an A in his class it is because you didn't attend his class. Everyone should this cours
He is my favorite professor. I could not wait to take next class. He is a very gifted person and has great personality.I would never forget him.
He's so awesome!!!!!!!!!!Taking his class was such a pleasure. I absolutely loved his class. He's so funny!
He is cool, awesome, easy going and funny. He is great.He is a kind of person who everybody likes to talk to. He is also hot:)) I love him as a teacher, as a friend,and as a coolest person I've ever met in my life.
His class is so fun. Never thought college English can be so much fun. Enjoyed his class and his lectures.
He's the best professor i've ever had!! he never uses textbook, providing his own materials to let us understand the language. he's so funny in the class, he made fun of himself and the society. Choose him, you'll love the class!!!
just one word for him AWESOME. there is none like him. i dont know anybody who doesnt like him. every student who has taken his class just loves him. GREAT TEACHER!
i love him, i love him! he's an awesome teacher because even if you're not the best writer or most creative, he still respects and is interested in you! very very reasonable and hilarious teacher....
Professor Yarbrough is an amazing english teacher. If you arent very creative in writing papers, Prof. Yarbrough will still make you feel comfortable. Plus he sooo funny!!! Do not miss out on taking Yarbrough....it will be the BEST class you can ever take!!!
This man is amazing!! Not only is he a wonderful professor, he makes people feel good about their writing abilities. Professor Yarbrough's personality is unbeatable. He will have you crying from laughter. I will never forget him. Thanks Professor Yarbrough, you've changed my life.
He is a profoundly smart man. He knows everything about literature and plays and poems and he will make you love literature. Absolutely loved him..Take his class. He is unforgettable.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! He is AWESOME!! Seriously, one of the best. He WILL have you laughing, even if you come to class in a bad mood. He makes you WANT to come to class, and you will learn from him. I had him a couple of years ago and still remember certain lectures. Great teacher, great person! Genuinely interested in helping out students.
Best professor ever!!! Makes class interesting. I never thought I would enjoy taking an english class until I had him. I love his stories. Very funny.
Awesome professor! Take him!
he is fun ,easy going ,grades fair and loads of fun and very helpful...and understanding if u have a problem in some area.is not like other professors who are gona push everything down ur throat...he knows what he is doing and makes sures that u know it too.
He is great at teaching literature and creative writing. But after I took 1301 from him and did well I learned that he didn't teach a lot of skills I needed for college writing. I have had to go the Writing Center for them to teach me basics he should have taught us. He is a good teacher and nice but skips teaching stuff like research and MLA.
wonderful person and teacher...truly makes you want to learn and understand the literature...favorite college class by far. take him!
What an amazing teacher... lets just say if all high school teachers were like him them we would all be geniuses and all go to college. I truly understand the concept of grammar and its purpose along with what it means to be creative with writing. Very funny and crazy guy but makes class very enjoyable. By far the best English teacher at CCCCD.
AMAZING!!! and very funny :) TAKE HIS CLASS!
He is the best. Take him.
Best teacher you will ever take. If you dont take him for english your nuts. He is so kind and his lectures are smooth. I recommend anybody wanting a good grade in a class he is definitally the guy for you.
As you can tell, he is awesome! Take him if you can get in. His classes fill up quick!
amazing teacher!!!!!!
This guy is awesome and SO funny! He makes the subject fun and interesting. Just do your reading and show up...you will get an A. I would take no other English teacher.
Love Love Love Mr. Yarbrough. I took him for English 1 & 2. I think he'll always be my favorite college teacher. You can do well in this class even if you're not good at English, he give everyone a chance and you'll learn something.
Lo0ove him! He's hilarious, enjoys what he teaches, makes sure everyone understands the concepts, and very laid back.
OMGsh!You gotta love this man! There is only one word that can describe him, awsome! I made an A in both English 1302 and Honor English 1301 in the summer II and the fall.His class is very entertaining. You won't able to fall asleep in his class. He's also a fair grader, and he teach all the main material that you need for English.I love his class.
He is great .. explains the papers you have to write will check em out for u if u need help .. he had around 4 papers in the semester and a grammer exam which you will review alot in class .. overall great prof and pretty fair in grading
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER YOU CAN EVER HAVE!! HIS CLASS IS SO MUCH FUN TO BE IN! YOU DONT WANT TO MISS A SINGLE CLASS! DOING LAB WORKS SUCH AS READING DRAMA PLAYS/POEMS IN CLASS IS SO EASY, HE DOES WITH US! HIS QUIZES/ ESSAY PAPERS ARE EASYYY!! IF YOU NEED HELP OR ANY QUESTIONS HES THERE TO HELP WITH AN OPEN HEART!

I'm going to miss Prof Yarbrough soo much! He truely is an amazing man/teacher! You will walk away from this class with so much knowledge that you can actually take with you always, unlike most classes! Very helpful, nice and HILARIOUS! I hate going to class and i tried to never miss one of his! Tests aren't too bad if you study and only one paper!
Professor Yarbrough is AWESOME!! I've never had such a better professor - he's cool, funny, inspirational, and makes class interesting and easy. There's only 2 papers at the end of the semester. He related everything we did to our daily lives. I made an A. Highly recommended!
He is the best teacher i've ever had,and by far one of the most amazing people i've ever come across. He teaches the class with passion and humor, but more importantly he relates everything to the real world, leaving the students with a greater appreciation and knowledge about life. I wish he taught more subjects so i could keep taking him.
Amazing! The most gifted & passionate professor I have ever had the honor of experiencing. He teaches with his heart and you will laugh outloud all class! He is Robin Williams on Red Bull, he sings, plays guitar, does standup & you won't find anyone, anywhere who knows more about Literature & can make you love it as much as he does! God Bless him!
Prof. Yarbrough is an amazing professor. He was highly recommended to me and I clearly found out why. He is well versed in the subject and makes your learning experience entertaining and unforgettable. I came away with a good understanding of all of the required reading. His life experience and humor only add to his teaching style. I will miss him.
Professor Yarbrough is an amazing man from which I am privileged to learn. His lectures are hysterically funny (think Texan Robin Williams), but he transcends that and uses his gift for touching the heart of humanity. I will carry some of his lessons with me forever; he's just one of those you never forget. Take him at every opportunity! (VERY HOT)
best professor at quad c!!!! made me look at things from a completely different perspective. i still use what he taught me to this day. VERY understanding of others' ideas and always interested in what students say. he tells a TON of stories that are extremely interesting. easy tests, easy essays, GREAT professor!
This was my favorite professor at CCCCD. If you follow what he teaches and show some interest you'll get a A but at the same time you can't help not get a A because he teaches so well and keeps your interest. He needs more awards or something. VERY NICE MAN! If you write something good he will get it published for you!
fudge crackers. i want to take professor yarbrough but his classes are always full. i hope he reads this and lets me in =D
such a wonderful FUN teacher. his class is very very easy due to him making it fun. attend and you will pass. make sure to buy the books. attendance is pretty important. he is the type that if you make an effort and show up to class he'll bump you a grade if you fall on the line. if you don't make the effort you get what you get.
Hysterically funny! I have never had so much fun in an English class. Easy A!
Professor Yarbrough is an amazing professor and an amazing person. His classes fill up really fast, so you have to register early to get him. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Best teacher I've had. He is amazing!
HES JUST AWESOME
WOW!! WHAT AM AMAZING PROFESSOR!! By far one of the best english professors at collin college. He makes every class interesting, EXTREMELY FUNNY. His not a very hard grader. He goes out of him way on so many levels to help out his students. abo****ely take him for english! THE BEST!
Professor Yarbrough is the best professor ever! He is so HILARIOUS!! You are guaranteed to laugh in his class everyday. Prior to taking him, I had no interest in literature or writing essays but now I love it! His tests are so easy. I wish he taught American Literature darn!!!!! I would recommend Yarbrough a million times!!! I absolutely loved this class!!!!
Had him for Honors 1301 and a Learning Comm. 1302 w/ D. Clark. Thank God! If you need serious brush-up on writing, this wonderful guy is not the one for you, but he teaches life more than writing and will be the funniest, kindest prof you will ever have. Just a tad too easy, which is a big reason everyone loves him so much.
this teacher is fantastic!!! if you want to make english more fun take this one. YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!! and come in on the days when a play is being read:)i am soooooooo happy i took his course thanks
Best teacher ever.
This professor has two ratings under both names. Randal Scott Yarbrough. Same person as Scott Yarbrough rating. I have not taken him, but had students refer him.
Mr.Yarbrough is the best teacher that I've had at CCCC. He's fun and makes learning the material extremely easy i was on my i phone everyday in class and i still got an A without paying much attetion!
I took his class years ago. He is one of my all time favorite teachers, mainly because of his adorable personality and his outlook on life. He has a special way to connect to his students. I still remember him after all these years.
Took 3 classes with him. LOVE HIM. Wish he taught other courses I need.. Amazing teacher, amazing person.
He's the best, And funny.
he is the best teacher ive ever met his tests are easy.he gives quizzes almost everyday in class before the class starts,all in all hes a good professor take him!
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! I LOVE THIS GUY! DEFINTELY TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!
anything I say would not be enough...he is an incredible person, amazing in all aspects!! if you dont take you're missing on life..no exaggeration!!! HE IS A PHENOMENON...
He was seriously the best teacher ever! Easy class to get an A in.
May'11-Wow hes the best prof ive had in my 4yrs of undergrad!Hilarious!Very interesting!Basic objective quizzes everyday which we take right after we read together.No HW,No Book-you can find material online.Objective questions on the midterm & final.Hes very clear & explains material w/examples that prepare u to think critically 2 write a paper@end
The absolute best!! I waited 4years to take literature and this teacher made me actually love it!!!!
Just took him during Maymester. By far one of the best professors I've had! I looked forward to going to his class every day, even though it went on for 4 hrs. He always let us out at least 15 mins early, makes the subject interesting, is a fair grader, his lectures are AMAZING, reading quizzes and exams are easy and to the point. YOU MUST TAKE HIM

AMAZING PROFESSOR! I am taking his summer class for 1302 right now and I was tempted to drop it because he was such a great professor, I wanted the full experience in the fall. He relates everything to modern day situations which makes the class so much easier and a lot less difficult to pay attention. If you have the choice, TAKE HIM.
Excellent Professor and an easy A if you attend class daily and listen to his lecture. There is just 1 research paper 2-4 pages long on material covered in class. And the final exam is just a page long interpretation of a poem. He gives daily exams on his lecture from the prior day, just as long as you listen they are real easy. Some light read
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE. Brilliant and inspirational man, also something of a stand up comic. He has the class laughing the whole time, interested, and enthused. Take him, it will be the best decision of your college career.
best professor ever!!!!
Great professor, at times it seems you don't learn that much. Honestly it's a great blow off class. I actually managed to attend class every day because he's so funny& so interesting. Otherwise, he really knows how to connect life to literature!Everything he says connects to the lesson, you can TRY to be uninterested but he knows how to pull you in
I Love this man. I hated the class before his so many times I would be so annoyed. However, Mr. Yarbrough always knew how to make me laugh. highlight of my week!! I never thought I'd say this but I am actually sad I'll be finished with English after this semester!
HE IS EXCELLENT THE BEST PROFESSOR AND HOT.
Fantastic. Of my two years at Collin he is the best professor I've taken, and I took him during Maymester of all semesters. He's energetic and funny and will give you the material in a way that you can remember long after the class is over. TAKE HIM!
He is without a doubt the most incredible human being I have every met. All teachers should be like him. He is intelligent, funny, witty, and truly a good person. He ties literature with his life stories that make you remember the material and learn it to your benefit. I must say, I did fall in love with him. Very very very handsome too.
Hes AMAZING! I took the summer course and looked forward to his class everyday and wish Id taken him for a whole semester! He is SO funny, witty, dramatic (good way), and so much more! If you are looking for entertainment with your learning - he is totally the one! I wouldn't take anyone else for english! Tests are exactly what he tells you to know
Awesome Professor Ever I have Taken Through Out The Semester At Collin. JUST GO FOR HIM ENGLISH ONE AND TWO.
he really goes in depth .he will never leave you clueless.he makes english VERYYYYYYYY INTRESTING!!!!TAKE HIM I RECOMMEND IF YOU READ THE SHORT STORIES HE GIVES QUIZ ON IT EVERYTIME. NUMBER ON EQUESTION HE WILL ALWAYS ASK "WHO'S THE AUTHOR"?
1)COME TO CLASS! 2)You will read a story or poem or play in class, and then he asks you questions about it 3)Pay attention to the questions he asks you 4)Take a 5 question quiz that is literally common sense if you pay attention. 5)Read the readings outside of class, and do a paper for your final. You're asking yourself "That's it?" YES! SIGN UP!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! I enjoyed every one of his classes. He makes class like story time. He is hilarious and makes class so fun. If you attend class and pay attention, then you will get an A. His papers are 2-3 pages and easily graded. All of his tests are SUPER easy to make an A on if you go to class... I wish all my professors were like him!
OMG where to begin? TAKE THIS PROFESSOR NOW! I have ADHD & he kept me from never getting distracted, i loved going to class everyday because he really knows what he's talking about, and he has the best sense of humor which he ties into his studies, his tests are very very easy we didnt take ANY tests unless he knew each of his students were ready!!
Best professor ever!! He made the class such much easier. He understand we have other things todo so he doesn't give out homework expect the essays. But his essays only required 2-3 pages. take this professor!
TAKE HIM! The class is so fun and interesting that you won't get bored or be overwhelmed. Workload is very light. Most readings are done in class (most of which he acts out himself)and mini-quizzes which are super easy if you were in class. He has set the bar so high, all my other professors can't even come close. Take EVERYTHING you can with him!
Professor Yarbrough is absolutely an amazing teacher. I just graduated with my second degree and finished my BSN-I credit Professor Yarbrough as being then most influential professor along the way. His work and passion not only keeps students interested but he truly helps students find their way in this world. Highly Recommend!
Take him, the best professor ever!!!
I hate english and he makes it so fun! He's super funny and makes everything really cut and dry simple! You HAVE to attend his lectures because he doesn't use blackboard. I am seriously considering taking his creative writing class just so that i can see him again! I highly recommend taking his class!
He was the most amazing teacher ever. Two long tests but they are SUPER easy and only one writing assignment for the entire semester. Take him you must.
One of my favorite professors! He is THE BEST. Lectures are interesting, the stories we read are fun, and he's simply amazing. He's hilarious. Professor Yarborough made you want to come to class. Show up and do great on the tests. TAKE HIM you wont regret it!
Truly an amazing professor
OMG... The best English teacher Ever! Professor Yarbrough made English for me fun and exciting I am older and I thought this class would be extremely hard for me WOW! was I wrong if you come to class and do your assignments you will pass he explains everything to the point if you want a" A" Please take him.(NO TEXT BOOK)
HE IS AMAZING MY LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
highly recommended professor . Dont hesitate just take it
LOVED Professor Yarbrough. He is so enthusiastic, helpful and intelligent. He is not boring by any means and also doesn't try to trick you and play games. His tests are clear and come from everything he reads in class. You can tell he is genuine and cares about his students. 100% recommend!
My goodness, what an amazing professor. I originally took 1301 with another professor and got an F then turned arounded and took both 1301 and 1302 with Yarbrough and got two A's! He has the best sense of humor and personality and I couldn't have asked for a better experience in English than what I got with Professor Yarbrough!!
loved this class! made me apprechiate poetry of all things, and i laughed my ass off!
Professor Yarbrough is simply authentic & actually loves teaching. He is part of a dying bred of the educational system. He wants your success and if you are one of those students who need a step by step calculation he will sit down & calculate your grade clearly! Very helpful, extremely well mannered & genuinely cares. You will enjoy his class!
Prof Yarbrough is really awesome because he does assignments that are fun and I feel like he does whatever the hell he wants. It's slightly challenging to make 95's and above on his essays but for test, he barely gives any. plus if he does give a test he'll make sure the entire class gets it first. Took him for 1301 1302 and probably world lit :)
By far one of the best professors I've taken throughout my college career. Hilarious and makes understanding english easier, take him if you want to laugh while learning!
HE IS HILARIOUS! HE MADE SOMETHING AS HARD AS OLD LITERATURE SO FUN AND SIMPLE! HE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS AND WANTS EVERYONE TO PASS!
There were two tests, a lot of "daily" quizzes at the end of a class period (easy!) and 2 essays (one written in class and one take-home). If you show up, pay attention in class, and study at home - you'll pass. Prof Yarbrough is amazing, and he cares about the learning process not JUST the letter grades. One of my best professors ever! Take him!
A brilliant professor. Really, really special. Passionate about literature. Makes classes entertaining and interesting. Fair grader. I have over 150 hours of university level, liberal arts course work, and this is the best teacher that I have ever had.
Super super super easy class, took him during the summer semester. The class had 2 tests, 1 out of class paper, 1 in class paper, a few handful of simple quizzes. We read nearly everything in class, and anything outta class is a very short read, but only read 2 things out of class. Super hilarious, would take again if I had to.
Extremely sad this is my last semster with him. Had him for 3 semesters for engl 1301 1302 and world lit 1. Amazing professor and so inspirational. Looked forward to every single class. If I could fit him into my schedule I would take his world lit 2 just for fun
Best teacher of my community college run. Hands down.
Simply the best professor ever in Collin College
He is the best professor you will ever have. I took Engl 1301 & 1302 as well as world lit 2302 with him. He never makes class boring! I learned so much from him and I will continue to recommend everyone to take his classes. His classes fill up super fast so make sure to sign up the day they open!
Super sweet and helpful professor! His lectures are hilarious. He makes old and boring literature really fun and comprehensible! Be prepared for quizzes every class about the previous lecture! Tests and quizzes are fairly easy if you pay attention to the lecture and take notes.
Professor Yarbrough was the most amazing professor I have ever been taught by! His tests are really easy if you read the texts and his lectures are brilliant. If I wasn't in such a hurry to graduate, I'd take every single one of his classes!
Professor Yarbrough is the BEST professor ever ! His lectures are extremely interesting he includes life stories that will make you remember everything. You will need your book. Come to class ready to learn and you will.
I took a summer course from him a couple ears back and something I said reminded me of him. He is memorable beyond belief. He was so funny and nice and genuine. One of the most inspirational people I have ever met in my life. Just an amazing experience. If he taught graduate school I'd be in his class again in a heartbeat!! Take this class!!!!!!!!!
He's easily the best teacher at Collin. He's hilarious and makes class super enjoyable. He's clear with what he wants and helps you till the last step of an assignment.
he is a wonderful professor. I took him over the summer and it was a nice class. he gave breaks in between the class!( quite unusual) . He makes his syllabus clear and is quite hilarious . he is a good bet if you just study as usual.
He is the best professor ever! I cannot find anyone better than Mr. Yarbrough in English class teaching! He respected you soooooo much! You can choose any topic you like to write in final paper. His lectures are amazing! Exam is very easy once you read and pay attention in class. Everything is down in class. No homework/reading assignment. Take it!
2 tests, 1 paper, & daily quizzes-As long as you read and listen in class, they're easy. He doesn't follow the syllabus exactly, and doesn't put the date of your exams. So if you're like me and have to know exactly when everything is due and what you will be reading in class, you may want to take someone else. Overall, good class!
Professor Yarbrough was by far the most aspiring person I have ever listened to. He tells his life stories, which are also his lectures, and turns them into a reflection of the subject at hand. He is insanely funny, sometimes making me L.O.L in class which never happens. But you must show up. Otherwise, I promise that you won't regret taking him.
Best professor I've taken. He doesn't force attendance, it's one of those classes that you will never want to miss! He tells life stories that always relate to what you're learning. It's one of those classes where you just have to be there to know how great it is. He also believes in no hw outside of class & there's one paper due the day of finals.
He is my favorite! Best professor at Collin. There's no possible way you can fail his class. Attendance is not mandatory, but you will not want to miss class.
He is my fav professor I've ever taken!!! His class is easy, you read a lot of short stories and poems and take short quizzes. as long as you're in class and paying attention you will do good. We only wrote 1 essay. He has the best personality, and really cares about his students and loves to engage with them and learn more. HE IS THE BEST :))))))
Yarby is an amazing professor. If you are a person of the arts (theatre, art, writing, music) he is a great to talk to, ask him about FORCES, he'll get your stuff published. His class is fantastic, he has made me cry from laughter more than once in class. He is the most encouraging and most personable professor I have ever had. Love him to death
Took Yarbrough during Maymester. Best express class ever! Just show up and do your work. Divided into 4- 25% grades (daily, midterm, comprehensive final, and essay). Not a ton of out of class reading. Funny and relates literature to present day. TAKE HIM!!!!
I took him for maymester and it was the easiest class I have taken. He knows literature isnt easy, but he explains everything thoroughly. Uses real life situations to make you understand the concept. I 10/10 reccommend him. He is so funny and super laid back. He a very attentive professor. TAKE HIM!!!!
The reviews are all true and I'm so glad I listened to them. He is amazing, you'll actually learn and appreciate English more thanks to him. He is so understanding, you won't regret it.
Professor Yarbrough is the best. He makes you want to know more about the literature you will read. He breaks down the reading so that you can understand and makes it entertaining.
Awesome teacher! He makes his lectures very entertaining and breaks down all of the readings in class super well. He is very laid back and funny! I highly recommend taking his class because you will not regret it!!!!
Best professor at Collin. Funniest person I've ever met. I laughed so hard i cried several times. Super caring and genuine. Without a doubt recommened him to anyone. Really lets you explore your writing abilities through wide range of choices on essays.
Hands down the BEST professor I have ever had. He took a subject that I struggle in, and made it so enjoyable and fun. I looked forward to going to his class every day and have never laughed so hard in a college class. He definitely deserves all the recognition he can get, and I HIGHLY suggest Professor Yarbrough to anyone.
This teacher is hilarious! He is a great teacher and is really good at helping you learn and understand rather than rushing through. Strongly reccomend
Professor Yarbrough is the best human being I have ever met. He is extremely understanding of prior class engagements such as family matters and jobs. It would be harder to fail his class than get an A. I left his class with so much more than a grade, but an improved vision of the world and people around me. There is also minimal homework.
Prof Yarbrough was hands down one of the best English professors I've ever had. We had 3 papers due, and the first was in-class. He allows for in-class work and gives ample time to complete the papers. Frequently ends class early! Gives lots of encouragement and ideas, but just generally an awesome and super friendly professor.
Extraordinary professor and great, hilarious person overall! He will not waste your time with nonsense. He will get straight to the point, teach only what you need to know, and will guide you to understanding the material. Not many grades, but there will be a handful of essays to write. Despite this, though, he's very lenient in his grading.
Alright someone needs to give this man an award. How he actually made me WANT to go to an English class was amazing. He has the most genuine soul and cares about his students greatly. I hope he gets recognition from top universities thats how great this man is. 10/10 would recommend to ANYONE taking English courses.
I LOVE HIM! BEST TEACHER EVER ON GOD! I took him over the summer and I have never been so attentive in a class before. A great man and a great professor a 10/10.
Best English professor ever! He is hilarious & brings life to the classroom. His class is never boring & always fun. A couple of grammar tests and total of 3 papers, all of which were great topics & easy to get into writing. He is a great teacher & his stories are incredible! So glad I took his class, taking his 1302 as well.
When you take one of his courses, it doesn't really feel like you're in a college class... it feels more like a professional stand-up comedy skit. He is the funniest professor I have taken, and by far the most laid back too. Expect to do a lot of reading, as you will probably read more poetry rather than write papers. Don't hesitate to take him!
BEST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD! YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING AND ACTUALLY LOVE IT!
I took him over the may-mester a couple semesters back and looking back on it, he is the best professor EVER. He genuinely cares about his students and makes his lectures so interesting to come to. I enjoyed every lecture and life story he told. I low key wish I wouldve taken him over the fall because I had enjoyed the class so much.
A master! I have laughed so much in his class. I managed to understand literature through him. I recommend everyone to take him this is a college moment to truly treasure. Never a dull moment. He cares about his students and wants them all to succeed. One of the best professors I have had. This is one of the best times of my life in his classes.
BEST professor at Collin College!!!!!
Second time taking this professor & will be again next semester. He's amazing & hilarious!! Loved this class! All work & reading is done in class, accept the 1 paper you will turn in at day of final. Fun readings & easy quizzes at end, just pay attention & pass! It's definitely not difficult to pay attention.
He is such a good professor! highly recommended it... I took him for English II, it was my favorite class! he made the class so easy, but you read a lot! do not miss any class or you are gonna get lost!
Took his honors Creative Writing I class. I didnt know that the class was poetry, so I almost dropped the course. Thankfully, Professor Yarbrough convinced me to stay! Now Im considering an MA and an FMA! Seriously, take his class!!
You can never get enough of him. He is such a gem. He wants you to totally understand the content and goes to any extreme to provide the best teaching methods. It is fun to be a part of his class. As far as textbooks are concerned, he wants to make the texts easily accessible rather than assigning a costly book.
I took Professor Yarborough in the summer of 2013 after a year at Texas Tech University. I came to Collin to take a summer class and really dreaded it. Yarborough changed the way I feel about Collin and the way I see English. I got a Bachelor's from Texas Tech and a Master's from Arizona State, but he's by far one of my favorite professors ever.
Best professor ever. 3rd class of his Ive taken and I have loved every minute of it. He is so amazing at teaching. You should show up every class because of daily quiz. Hell let you know when theyll be. No homework ever outside of class & 1 research paper due day of final. You will definitely look forward to every class because theyre so fun!!
This guy should be given a medal for teaching English to us mere mortals like us. I was skeptical, thinking no teacher could be THAT good. But he's THAT good. I could write an essay on how amazing he is. He's friendly, hilarious, relatable, and wants you to pass, he's in your favor and loves his students. Take this class, I'm begging you!
Scott Yarbrough was the most amazing English teacher that I had ever had. He has a way of getting all the information that you need to know across in an amusing and highly entertaining way. I wouldn't skip his class even if I was sick.
Great professor if your already a grade A writer. Basicallly only taught us grammar which he did teach pretty well got a 90, but Writing was a expected talent coming from high school getting a average b+ every year
Take him, show up, pay attention, get an A....2ez
Take this class!!! One of my favorite professors Ive ever had. He is so genuine and knowledgeable. This is a class where youll actually learn the material and understand it. Its an easy A as long as you do the work.
This is an extremely easy class, and Mr. Yarbrough is one of my favorite professors. Only one essay to write, daily quizzes but they're insanely easy. He's so hilarious I sometimes end up tearing up. Very sweet and understanding and has a quirky personality. He makes literature easy to understand and enjoy, which is hard for some to do.
Basically show up and everything you read in the class is dumb'd down and summed up by him. He is very caring, understanding, and HILARIOUS. I took him for a blow off class and it is an easy A. Just do as he says and you're set.
Took professor Yarbrough after looking at these reviews, I was disappointed. All we did in that class was daily quizzes, two exams, and final which is an essay and poetry. If you screw up on one, you're done basically. The exams were 150 questions.
Professor Yarbrough is the best professor one can ever take!!! I took both ENGL 1301 and 1302 from him and I wish I could take more. He is a real gem. Just take him!!!!!!!!
Signing up for classes? Looking for good profs? Mr. Yarbrough is a must. His humor is one of a kind and he's an EZ A grader. Doesn't expect a lot from you, and barely makes you read anything. 2 test but they are blow offs, only one essay to write. Daily test but he asks EZ questions like who wrote the book. He's AWESOME, so please take him.
Teaches in an engaging way and has lots of fun with it. almost all reading is done in class and the only quiz you take about the readings is done in the same class period. grading is straight forward and tests are super easy if you hold onto the quizzes.
My fourth back 2 back semester with him. That says enough. I thought creative writing would be more short stories but it's just writing 5 poems. I was a little scared since I don't normally like poems--naturally, I changed my mind. Solid easy class to just relax and discuss poems. Mr. Yarbrough is a 11/10 professor.
Professor Yarborough was very nice and funny, however, I feel like I did not learn much from his class. We mainly read poems aloud in class. If you skip class he will not dock off points but he does have a "daily" quiz (if you pay attention in class and/or take notes it's easy to get a good grade) that counts toward your final grade.
Laid back. Lectures are fun and easy to follow. You can buy any version of the book for cheap. He makes understanding difficult poems easy. Questions on tests are straight from the poems in the book that he will discuss during lecture/reading time in class. I would take him for every class if I could. Great professor!
AWESOME teacher. He gives readings every week but no more than 10 pages which we then discuss in class and have an easy daily quiz. Three exams that were just as easy as the quizzes and a final paper that you choose your own topic for. Super engaging and it's clear he wants you to learn and pass the class.
Professor Yarbrough was my favorite professor this semester! He's so nice and funny and he really cares about his students. I didn't even like English before I took this class, but it was great! Make sure you come to class every day because he gives you a chance to challenge your grade.
A literal icon.
I would totally avoid this, prof. He was the hardest grader I ever had, you do your best, and you see your mark is so LOW! and his assignments WORTH ALOT of MARKS, and if you failed in two, consider yourself falling in his class. His tests were so TOUGH with 80 QUESTIONS for only one hour and a half! DONT TAKE COMMUNIATIONII WITH HIM.
Absolutely great professor, take his class will be the best hour or so of your week. The class was thought-provoking and the literature we read was just at the perfect level of difficulty for a class like this.
He was a great guy but not a great prof (at least for this course). We had two super easy exams, one paper and a final where we read one of his poems and wrote about our thoughts. Attendance was for the lab grade so if you never show up you get a really low score. Little to no lecture and most of the class time was spent talking or reading texts.
Take ALL his classes!! This is a professor that is passionate about what he is teaching and passionate about helping his students learn. He gives excellent and attention grabbing lectures and give RELEVENT tests on the material he covers. There are no surprises on what he will test you over. He is hands down the BEST professor that I have ever had.
Probably one of the best teachers/professors I ever had in my life. The dude is super funny and makes lectures extremely fun. He has 2 test but if you listen in class and do the readings, they are easy As. Like some of the questions are, what is the authors name. At the end, you are given a writing final and a final.
Professor Yarbrough has been an incredible English teacher. Told a lot of stories to help ease the entire essay process and to make the class enjoyable.Clears any doubts. The grading is straightforward, with one Grammer exam, Narrative, Written, Final Essays, and Labs all 20%. Although attendance is mandatory, he always lets us leave early.
One of the best professors I've had. Engaging lectures, fair tests, and a passion for helping students succeed. Using study tools like unstuckstudy ai alongside the course materials really helped me ace this class.
I hope the school raises his salary.
He is the BEST professor in the WORLD not in the college. Just show up every class and you gonna make an easiest A ever. NO QUIZ, NO any assignments. 3 exams including finals. Super duper easy as log as you show up and listen his lecture. If you really think his tests are hard, then college is not your place. Overall, HE IS THE BEST.
He's an amazing professor, especially when it comes to actually learning the material. While attendance is required, from that hour you learn a lot, but don't do any work for it. Tests consist of 40+ questions, but they are very easy if you attend class. Overall, great professor, and if I could, I would take his classes again!
