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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
