He is a very helpful professor and I really enjoyed this class.
Hypocrite, tells you one thing and stabs you in the back. Not recommended for anything.
Very nice person, interested in his subject and tries to make class interesting. Just prepare well for the tests by paying attention to his lectures.
Very difficult professor ... exams are insanely difficult, but there's a huge curve. He is helpful if you attend office hourse.
This guy was a complete a$$. He is condescending, self-important jerk. Knows his material, but doesn't know how to convey it in a thoughtful way to students, who I'm sure he just sees as the funding to his paycheck. Avoid if possible.
Very hard. Can be mood swingy in class.

CONS: goes through information really really extremely quick, does not post powerpoints or anything for that matter online, does not go by textbook (says don't even buy it), no study guides given, talks really softly, explains things confusingly, not interesting or fun, tests are ridiculously difficult, PRO: is somewhat friendly and helpful,
He's an awesome guy, one of those teachers that cares about how well you do.
VERY BAD PROFESSOR, DONT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM, MEAN AND VERY CONFUSING AND HARD TESTS!!!!!
Dr. Yost is a very nice professor. If you pay attention to his lectures, you will do fine on his exams. His exams are hard, but there is always a generous curve for each exam. He is easy to approach and eager to help students.
this professor sucks, he really is hard and is very rude and doesnt care about anyone regardless how much u care about the class. very hard test, everyone complains about him, no one likes him, i dont know how he is still teaching, he should be fired!!!!
I took K103 in the Summer, and I found the experiance to be difficult, but not impossible as many say. The tests require you to be analytical, and if you can't do that, you may as well go to a trade school, not a university. Dr. Y's style is distinct, but he is adequately helpful if you address him directly. Study hard and guess Nematode.
Teacher was clear and interested in what he was teaching, however did not have any helpful advice for tests or final exam.
He's a little tough and goes fast, but he really explains the concepts well. He's friendly and available for individual help, if you arrange a time to meet with him. My only qualms are the hand cramps after lecture from writing so much. It might be a good idea to get a tape recorder for his class. Great teacher, though.
I'm not a big fan of Yost. He raced through most of the material and isially left our heads spinning.
Unfortunately, he's the only professor that teaches the class. I can honestly say the class is worthless; I learned absolutely nothing from him or the class.
Attend his class, and wait until after class to ask .quesitions. He is easily irrated by asking questions in class. He is helpful when you ask him questions directly. Pay more attention to his notes than the book.
Okay, fail ever exam if you want because if you get an A in lab and an A in recitation, then you'd probably get a B in the class, because he curves it SOOO Much! The lab exams are hard, study EXTREMELY hard for the second one on bones, it is ridiculously difficult.Don't worry if you fail, because it usually ends being a C after the curve.
Does not care about students but is knowledgeable about subject. Speaks very fast during lectures.
Unfortunately, he does not post his power points online for you to follow along with during lecture. He does provide outlines to take notes on, however, they are missing a lot of material. Additionally, he moves at an incredibly fast pace. His exams are difficult, but the curves are generous. Be prepared to have writers cramp at end of lecture!
I love his lectures! The exams go exactly by the outlines and are very generously curved. On exam 1, I missed 22 and got an A! However, the lab exams are more difficult, but only because they are fill-in-the-blank, so you really have to know your stuff. I would definitely take another class taught by him!
Worst professor I have ever encountered. He was very hard to approach, some of the questions on his tests are worded wrong and he refuses to change them, and he responds selectively to his emails. Why he is still a teacher at IUPUI is even harder to understand than the class.
Yost is notoriously a hard teacher. The only way to get through this class without doubting an A is to only take 12 credit hours and study all the time. His lectures are boring, and the book explains things better. If he gives you an assignment of writing a paper, make sure the grammar is good. Contrary to the rumors, he may not curve everything!
Yost is the worst teacher in the entire department. He fails to explain anything well, rushes through material, and appears to lack understanding of the material himself. Take this class somewhere else if you want to do well. He will continue to mind **** with you until the last day of class.
The course covers a LOT of concepts and moves at a fast pace. It is not impossible to do well in the course. Dr. Yost does a great job of explaining difficult concepts. The exams test how well you understand the materials, and not how well you can memorize stuff. The course is challenging, but that goes with the territory.
Some of the things that we did in lab helped in Anatomy and hopefully in Physiology. However, his lectures are REALLY boring. He goes at such a fast pace. He covers LOTS of materials at once. Exams = impossible. If you want an A, you have to live, eat, and dream K103 all semester. He curves a lot. He wants to weed ppl out.
Dr. Yost tries his best to keep his class organized and tries to cover lots of material. However, he is not flexible. He does not consider students understanding of the material when he lectures. As a result, his lectures are often uninteresting and hard to understand. Also, he does not listen to students suggestions.
not bad
his exams are impossible and if you miss something when taking notes he refuses to go back so you can get what you miss.
Dr. Yost teaches a very interesting class with a ton of material. Think of anatomy and physiology and evolution and ecology all rolled into one semester. the beginning of the course is boring but it gets interesting later. the key is to go to his office and meet with him one on one b/c in class he seems mean but in reality is really cool
He makes the class way harder than it needs to be. Lecture is almost useless as you can fill out the outlines from the book. He doesn't post the lecture slides though and sometimes covers things only in class.
Hard, but I learned soooo much! It made anatomy so easy.
Go to his office, he is willing to work with students. Cares about the subject and works hard to convey it to students. One of the best Profs I have ever had.
This is a hard class, plain and simple. I expected a challenging semester going in and I wasn't disappointed. He can come off as a grumpy old man but he is really nice if you're nice to him and don't complain about low test scores etc. He runs a tight ship and he'll be the first one to acknowledge that he can be a little harsh. It prepares you for med school though, and therefore it was definitely a good experience for me. Highly recommend takig his honors section if you're a serious student.
Dr. Yost is knowledgeable about Biology and very helpful/nice outside of class. However, like others have said, his tests are extremely tricky. The good thing is that his grading is VERY fair... curves a lot to make up for low grades. Study hard for lab and recitation -- do well in those and don't sweat as much in lecture! Good luck!
I took this class during the summer of 2010. It was 6 weeks. I am reading a lot of negative comments about Dr. Yost. Here is the deal--he is a good teacher. He is clear, concise, and thorough. It is up to you, however, to work hard. Study 10-15 hrs per week and you will do fine. Slack off and you will not. It is that simple. Best of luck!
As other people have said, his class is hard and his tests are tricky. But he is an awesome teacher! Absolutely the best teacher I have ever had! I took his honors section and he led the lab and was more than willing to help students where they needed it. You have to study - if you do you'll be fine. I still talk to Dr. Yost 3 years later!
Expects a lot, but very fair. Supplies outlines and important concepts to study. Cares about what students learn and understand. Helpful when going for assistance.
Dr. Yost is a good teacher. Again, a bit harsh, but he doesn't like to coddle students for good reason. You don't get copies of the slides he has is class which puts you at a disadvantage if you can't write and actively listen, which is super tough. Also, he cuts it close when notifying students of certain deadlines like test reviews and makeups.
Yes, this class is hard, but not impossible! Dr. Yost is clear in what he wants you to know and the objectives are helpful! The best advice I have for this class is to go to class, take the best notes you can, study your butt off, and team up with other people in the class and have study sessions!
Dr. Yost is an excellent professor. He's very clear about what material is important for you to learn. To do well, you should read the textbook and fill in the outlines as much as possible using the book. That way, in lecture, you can focus your attention on his explanations and examples. Attend recitation and form a study group and you'll do fine.
This class is extremely difficult; however, dr. Yost posts your exam letter grade shortly after each exam so you know where you stand. I really didn't care for the animal portion of the material but unfortunately it is interwoven throughout the whole semester. Reading the book was the least helpful, but highly recommended for visuals. Take good notes and review and rewrite them.
Before coming to this class I was very worried, I had A LOT of people telling me he went too fast. For me at least, he didn't most of the time. Bring a voice recorder, take notes as you go along and then listen to the recordings and add anymore notes from that and you should do fine. when you are told to memorize, MEMORIZE it! It will help so much!
Prof. Yost is a hard teacher, but he is very fair! He curves almost everything and even though the lecture tests & lab tests are really hard, do well in recitation and it will help your grade out a lot. The BRC helped me get through this class (highly recommended)& study hard for the bone lab test b/c it's super hard!
Dr. Yost is hard, but great. He is hard for a reason.
It's not that he's slightly confusing, it's like he studied every principle and technique for effective organization and teaching principles and did the complete opposite. Contradicts himself frequently.
Dr. Yost is more demanding than most instructors. I really like his lecturing style and I think I learned a lot from him. Just be ready to work and to THINK, as well as just memorize sometimes.
Everyone says he's hard, but everything has a huge curve (e.g. final exam - 70/100 is still an A). However, to quote a previous review, "it's like he studied every principle and technique for effective organization and teaching principles and did the complete opposite." I would agree; be prepared to study on your own. Otherwise, he's quite good.
I liked his class, good credit filler and very interesting. Actually the information is good to know.
Throw away any preconceptions about grading scale, this will be different. Covers a lot of material very quickly, but organized and knowledgeable. Tests require you to apply the concept instead of just reiterate information. Attending class is a must to do well. Use all resources and don't be afraid to find your own to reinforce concepts.
Dr. Yost seems like a nice enough guy and also seems to enjoy his job. That being said, he is terrible at it. His lectures are boring and tedious and don't really help to clarify. He doesn't follow the book much, and his "note sheets" are actually worse than just taking notes yourself. His favorite phrase is "think about". Says it 100+ times/class
Probably the most passionate Biology professor in the IU system. very easy to follow. I found that the students that complained were those that never worked. honestly, all you have to do is read the book. students couldn't even do that and then complained that he was "too difficult". If you read the book and do the outlines you'll get an A!
Way too much information, but that's not his fault. He doesn't post any online material and talks a mile a minute. I suggest recording the lectures, but it's painful going back to re-listen to it. So try and write everything down the first time! I guessed on 80% of every exam and still got an A overall... somehow.
Dr. Yost is very passionate about Biology. The class can be hard to study for because there is so much information. Advice- Study your hardest, try your best, and it will pay off. Tests have a ridiculous curve. He's a nice guy, to the point, but he cares about his students. Attend ALL discussions! Hard work pays off, but don't stress!
He is a good teacher,but has some flaws.He goes really fast,best to keep a voice recorder.He goes through his slides really fast,making it hard to write. He also doesn't post his notes on Oncourse,so you have to write fast. I find his exams okay,he has a good curve. Attend recitation,if you don't you will drop a grade[from my i have heard] Study!
Its a really easy class. It's called exploring the animal. You also have to take a lab with this class. But all you do is take exams, watch planet earth, and he goes over powerpoints
Dr. Yost knows his stuff, but is unable to organize his class properly. You will fail most of his tests and feel terrible afterward, but you will still get a B. The tests require extreme depth of knowledge in a vast array of topics and it simply isn't possible without prior knowledge of the subject. Unfortunately, no other professors teach K103.
He demonstrates a mastery of course material, but seldom teaches it in an effective manner. He goes way too fast, doesn't provide any study resources, and does not teach with the book. Attending lectures is the only thing you can do to study, but he's just not a good lecturer due to his pace.
Dr. Yost knows the material extremely well and can therefore convey it rather clearly. However, his exams require a deep knowledge of the topics and can be very frustrating. Watch your grade at the end, he gave me a B+ when I deserved an A (he eventually fixed it...)
He is a good professor but covers a ridiculous amount of material in a short amount of time and will take attendance if absences are noticed. He does curve and it is do-able. As long as you score above average you'll be fine. I got 30% on all his exams and got a B in the class.
Doesn't post slides in order that people attend lecture; I get it. Still, he covers too much material and goes way too fast: you'll write a book a week in an attempt to keep up. Yes, you can get a good grade with much study but an intro. class shouldn't be this intensive. Vast curves on exam grades indicate that nobody is actually LEARNING much...
Easy class. Great teacher! He gives the study guides out online and the exam questions are the same as the study guide questions. Didnt use my book once. curves grades.
His class is simple and easy IF you attend class. If you miss a class your chances of doing well on the exam are poor. He does post his powerpoint for students but often with missing information to make sure you attend class. He's pretty awesome and has invited students to speak with him during office hours
Although a difficult change from K101, the class is manageable and interesting (if you attend lecture and put in SOME time.) Yost moves quickly and doesn't post his notes, so you learn to read the book more. Don't worry about the difficulty of the exams since he will curve them drastically, so don't get discouraged. However, LAB IS POORLY GUIDED.
It is doable to get an A in the course but you HAVE to attend class. Your success on the exams will depend entirely on your ability to memorize lots random facts about animals. The exams are composed of 55 fill-in-the-blank questions so you better know your stuff. While the class is tough, Yost is a really cool guy.
Dr. Yost did not post his notes or record his lectures so it was crucial to attend class! He goes pretty fast so it takes a little while to adjust. He put huge curves on the exams which helped me out a lot.
You could sit at home and read the text book and there'd be no difference than having gone to his lectures. Except you'd be able to keep your own pace.
Dr. Yost really knows the material well. There's a lot of information but as long as you put in a few hours everyday, you should be fine. At the end of this course, you really will have a good understanding of everything you learned in class because there's really no other way to pass. One of the few classes where I actually retained the info.
Greatest Ever
People complain about him, but honestly, it's a college class. This is the easiest bio major class. That being said, it is certainly not easy. Just take good notes and actually study, don't procrastinate yada yada yada. If you don't put in the effort of an A student, don't expect an A. Simple as that.
This class is not easy but if you work hard it is possible to succeed.
FYI. You hand will cramp after every lecture. He doesn't let you take pictures of his slides just in case you don't catch everything. His exams are very analog base and relate to nothing in the material.
Utter disappointment. Class does not follow any type of organization or the syllabus. The majority of classes consist of us watching Planet Earth and memorizing the information for exams. Bought the textbooks, but did not need them.
He's tough. That's the cold hard truth. This class is not easy. Expect to read the book and expect to spend a lot of time on this class. it's hard but its still very interesting content and he's a cool guy once you get to know him.
Take this class seriously. Lectures, in my opinion, may feel slightly overwhelming to follow for the entire time because there is a huge amount of information that is being said and everything has to be written, and slides will not be posted. His big focus is for students to apply concepts of what you learn so be sure to review course objectives.
Try to get notes from someone who took the class before because he does not post power points and he goes through them fast! His test questions are strange but he is an AMAZING personprofessor. He makes you work for your grade. The class has a huge curve in the end. Plan on spending plenty time studying!
He doesn't post power points and lectures at a fast pace. His lectures compare similarly to the textbook too. The tests are challenging. Understanding the "big picture" of what he talks about and details is KEY. If you put in the effort and time, an A is within reach-the curve saves! Study dailyweekly to prevent cramming a boatload of material.
Read the book. Listen to people that took the class before. Know the diagrams. He doesn't post his powerpoints. You probably won't understand the lecture until recitation. KEEP UP. Don't slack after a test. It'll be much easier that way near the end. Look up "Coelom" so you're not confused the first day of class. Do the OUTLINES that he provides!
Yost really knows his stuff. Seriously. The problem is, he does not know how to translate it to where students understand it. His tests are very difficult but he makes a giant curve. Which basically means even if you fail, you will still get a B overall. Try go get notes from previous students. That helped me.
His class is hard; anyone who says otherwise is crazy. Expect to take up residence in the textbook. I (and most everyone else) just furiously typed up his powerpoint slides throughout the class period and tried to make sense of them later. Recording lectures will help. Don't slack off and work on his outlines and you'll do fine.
He is one of the most boring and monotoned professors. He doesn't post his notes, so you either have to attend class & rapidly write notes or get notes from a student who previously took the class. Otherwise, he follows closely to the book & you honestly get more from the book. He's not a great professor, but his class is doable with the curve.
Yost knows his material and spills it out of his mouth at an insane speed. Show up to every lecture and just take notes on what he says-ignore the powerpoints (you'll find that info in the book). I highly recommend doing the outlines. After every test, you'll think you failed but the grading curve is definitely in your favor.
Not only are lectures hard, he doesn't post any of his slides online. Also labs are even harder so you would be lucky to pass the class.
IF YOU TAKE THIS CLASS BEWARE IT IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL 100 LEVEL. THERE ARE ONLY FOUR TESTS WHICH ARE ALL FILL IN THE BLANK. THERE IS REALLY NO GUIDANCE FOR WHAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE EXAM, VIDEO HEAVY. MY ADVICE WOULD BE TO REWATCH ALL THE VIDEOS AND THEN TEST YOURSELF BY FILLING IN THE BLANK MOVIE GUIDES.
Really difficult course. I skipped class extra day, took my own notes the book and his outlines, and studied off that and ended up with an A. Lab is poorly structured and more stressful b/c you aren't tested on half of what you memorize. Learn the vocab at the very least and hopefully apply the right material on test day. Get a better work ethic!
This class is definitely challenging but certainly not impossible. Exams are pretty difficult. Lab and recitation help both your understanding and grade so make sure to go! My advice for this class - take notes by hand during lecture, read most chapters, try to fill out outlines from memory (as best you can) before exams, and form a study group!
I read the poor reviews about Dr. Yost before I enrolled in his course, thinking I would be okay. I was NOT okay. Dr. Yost intentionally makes this course very difficult and his teaching style is not helpful, to say the least. He may know the material, but he's not good at explaining it to others. Avoid this prof at all costs.
This class in general is just a boring subject for most people. His lectures are dry, but very to the point. If it is in the (lengthy) note packet, it could be on the test. I really think that he is interested in helping students who put in the effort. He is a fine professor, but if you do not put the work in, then the class will be hard as always.
Took this as a summer course and there was WAY too much expected of us in only 6 weeks. However, Dr. Yost as a prof was kind and lenient if you made any effort whatsoever. The class is test heavy and you MUST attend lectures to get the info you need. The book isn't helpful but you NEED the lab manual to succeed in lab.
Basically every exam he had on the class was based off my notes of 200 random facts about animals. Extremely hard to study for. All we did was watch videos too, which was annoying.
The only reason I made it out alive is because I purchased an audio recorder and brought it to class every day. Theres so much that we covered in each lecture, that you're bound to miss some of it the first time around. Take notes on the provided outlines on Canvas, record lectures, and review content as you go along.
This class isn't by any means an easy A. His exams are crazy difficult and you feel like crap afterwards, but usually you did better than you thought. Recitation and lab can make or break your grade depending on your TA. My advice is fill out the outlines, record the lecture, and study nonstop. Have fun!
Class is very boring but you have to pay attention to get all the notes. He allows audio recording but no video recording. He doesn't post his power points so all notes must be taken during class. He's very fast paced.
Don't take this class if you don't want to take notes for the ful hour and fifteen minutes of class, every class. If you don't show up for the notes, you won't pass the tests. Tests are 95% fill in the blank, and anything from several lectures can be on them. I spent 9 hours studying for each exam, and ended up with an A in the class, but beware!
You're literally gambling your grades in this class. Whether he curves or not depends on how low the total average is, and if your grade if beyond average. Getting a 64% on an exam can get you a B and getting a 64% in the final exam can get you an A, but a B average which depends upon how you do in lab and recitation. Lab is harder than lecture
- Nobody has any idea how the grades in this class work. He literally might pull your grade out of a hat, who knows? - Teacher is unapproachable (no office hours!) and rude in class to students who ask questions - Tests are insane If you want to do well in this class, go to the BRC, make lots of flashcards, read the textbook, and hope you get lucky
Dr. Yost is a horrible professor with little respect for his students. He is very rude when asked questions and will often ignore the question all together. He is very disrespectful most of the time. He speaks at a pace in which you will not be able to write down all that he says. His tests are insane and a 50% can get you a B or A based on a curve
Lecture is 75 minutes of reciting facts about animals or a nature video. After four or five classes of this, there is a test that is about 50 fill-in-the-blank questions long, that pulls from the 900 random facts you learned (Good luck, hope you have a killer memory). Don't dare ask a question or you will be berated in front of your classmates.
Extremely unprofessional. Grades with a curve that isn't really a curve, he just puts you where he thinks you should be. He messed up mine and a few classmates final grades, giving us F's when we really should have gotten different grades. Worst professor I have ever had to deal with.
Crazy lecture like others said. Listen to his examples and stories, use outlines for notes. Do PSAs in recitation, go to BRC, don't wait last minute to study. ALOT of memorization. Lab is just like anatomy, also memorization. Most difficult 100 level you'll take, but still very possible to get an A. Curves on tests and a final curve at the end.
Dr. Yost's K103 class is the one your high school teachers warned you about. Yost is by no means a bad professor, but his exams are designed to be extremely difficult and there is so much material. He grades on a bell curve which helps, but you rarely can predict your grade. Lab is standard and recitation can hurt your grade if your TA sucks.
Talks fast so I recommend recording lectures. I used the outlines he provided to take notes from the slides during lecture, then I went back and listened to the recordings. Everything you need to study for the exams comes from the lectures and outlines. Don't wait till the last minute to study. Go to recitation for easy points to boost your grade.
His lectures are super fast, and I recommend typing instead of writing everything out! It will save you time. If you show him that you are trying and want a good grade, he will give it you. Huge curve in this class and he does care about his students (is a little scary at first tho). Get all your lab and recitation points and you'll be fine.
Yost doesn't try to make his lectures entertaining to make up for boring slides of animal facts. He is all business and no fun. He doesn't post notes online or let you take pictures of them even. So while attendance isn't mandatory, it is to get all the info. His exams can be difficult because they're all fill in the blank of vague facts.
Oh come on you guys here are so extra. Just listen to his lectures and study the lab carefully, you'll get an A/B easily :) I'm just kidding. This is the most painful class I've ever taken. Almost everyone fails the class. His exams are the reasons that cause depression for students. Good luck!
You have to attend Yost's lectures, or else you WILL fail the class. Recitation is easy, but lab is dependent on the TA. His outlines are very comprehensive and he goes fast in lecture so prepare to write/type for the whole 75 minutes. Recording lectures is beneficial because you will miss things, recitation PSAs are pretty easy, just long/tedious
Although attendance isnt required you wont pass if you dont go. He shows a slide once and wont show it again and almost everyone I talk to has a C or lower. Be ready to write/type for 75 minutes straight as well. The test also dont get any better so if youre taking one of his classes in general good luck.
Yost is the worst professor I've ever had to deal with. He doesn't answer questions, doesn't check emails, and won't grade you fairly. He refuses to post his power-points on canvas. And he lectures incredibly fast in class, making the rest of his students struggle while taking notes. He's very egotistical, unreasonable, and unprofessional.
Robby is not a very good teacher, although he is very knowledgeable on the topics he goes over. During lectures he goes through slides very fast and it is hard to stay focused when you are still trying to write down what was said on something that was 2 slides ago.
He's just phoning it in. Gives you fill in the blank study sheets for each lecture. Tests are based on that.
How are you graded in this class? Good question! I think Yost just pulls it from the lucky numbers on a fortune cookie and clumps two numbers together to make your grade. Besides that he uses a copyrighted PowerPoint to teach the class. He literally reads the PowerPoint pretty much and has random attendance quizzes to reward students who show.
Yost reads off a powerpoint each class . He goes very fast, and he is definitely hard to keep up with. You are expected to calculate your own grade. I never asked a question because he was very rude to other students who asked questions. I studied hard for these exams, 8 hours each exam so be prepared.
Attend EVERY lecture because all the notes & information you'll need is given there. Lecture is SUPER HEAVY & he goes fast. Provides no guide or extra resources for studying. Random attendance pop quizzes. Has own method of madness for grading. Your textbook will be your friend. Nice guy, very knowledgeable & answers questions decently. Good luck!
Don't listen to the rest, it's college you got to teach yourself, if you haven't been already, well welcome to real college! Super interesting towards the Final exam!
Be sure to attend the lecture, not because it's necessarily required, but he explains all the concepts very well and in multiple different ways. It's animal biology, so it's much harder than BIOL-K101. Just pay attention and it'll be fine.
He curves his grades a lot, but there are about half the questions on the exam that really difficult and I had a hard time knowing what really to study. Also, get the notes from someone whos taken it previously, he reads through the powerpoint/notes. Although his examples may help during the exam
Attending lecture for his class is very important. Dr. Yost does not post his slides online and does not allow any pictures to be taken of any lecture or lab material. His exams make you apply the material you learned rather than just memorize material. They are a little difficult, but he curves every exam including the final.
Its not an exceptionally hard class. Just go to lecture and take notes on the outlines he provides. As long as you pay attention and record the lectures youll be fine.
horrible professor. uncaring. it would be more useful if he would deign to put the power points he uses in lecture on Canvas for students who do not immediately absorb the material he goes over very quickly in class. I had a friend that reached out to him 5 different times before he got a response, in person and online. would not take again, ever.
You're on your own and he doesn't post any slides. Goes extremely fast
Covers material very fast! It is difficult to keep up when taking notes.
Attendance is only mandatory if you don't already have the notes. He was very lecture heavy. He was a good guy but extremely boring although he does curve tests quite a lot.
I feel like I'm being talked to by a narcissistic computer every time I sit through one of these lectures. And if you try to talk one on one with him, you'd better have some thick skin. Unfortunately there's no other professor that teaches this course, so get some filled in notes from someone to make lectures easier, and get ready to have no life
Ready to read as much as you can just to barely pass by with a B in the class? HORRIBLE class setup. You must type his powerpoint notes while he talks and asks questions. And he wonders why people don't answer them. Maybe its because we are to busy typing as much as we can! Horrible uncaring professor who will make you hate college.
Very knowledgeable guy, but awful class setup. He doesn't even post the powerpoints on canvas so be ready to do alot of typing and/or writing. Because once he changes the slide, it's gone forever. And he always wonders why no one answers his questions. Either it's because we're busy typing or we really don't know. Be prepared to teach yourself.
There are a lot of bad rumors about Dr. Yost, but he is an incredibly intelligent man who does a great job at teaching an extremely hard course. Bio 103 is going to be a challenging course regardless of who teaches it, and I think Yost does great at explaining difficult concepts in lecture and preparing us for exams and future biology courses.
This class is one of the more difficult courses I have taken so far. Dr. Yost does lecture very quickly, but there is also a lot of material to get through in the semester. You really have to put in the work to get your grade in this class between the lecture and lab exams. He grades on a HUGE curve which helps a lot of students!
Extremely helpful and focused professor, I would recommend choosing this teacher if you want a straightforward approach to Biology with clear examples and a fast pace. The course was difficult, but was made much more bearable by the professor. Overall, great choice for learning the harder concepts in biology.
A lot of people complain about K103, but Yost is a great lecturer. He's smart and incredibly kind out of class. The class itself is kind of intense because we go through a lot of material, but he provide note outlines and is very clear about what material will be on the exams. Plus, he gives a pretty generous curve.
Yost-est with the mostest. Dr. Yost is a cool dude, and a very good professor. He's a true OG with the curves he does with all the exams. Dope Professor. 420/10 would learn from again.
You have to put in the work for sure but the class itself is passable.
Ok so everyone complaining about Yost is SOFT and needs to actually open their textbook and study. A lot of people come into this class thinking they will be babied like they were in Dr. Marrs class (love you dr marrs) however Dr. Yost makes you work your tail off for your grade. The curve always comes in clutch however you really need to study
This is THAT college class your teachers warned you about. He cares, just doesn't know how to help a student unless YOU reach out. I thank Dr. Yost looking back, because this is the class that taught be how to adapt and become much more efficient with my studying.
I went into his office hour feeling stupid and came out even more stupid. If a student go in and ask a question, that is because she/he did not understand the topic. Of course I'm asking about the topic he talked in the class and I just didn't fully understand it.
Yost is a great guy,but definitely does not explain anything to his windows on science class. expects us to write in APA format perfectly without any guidance .
Yost overall is a good guy. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. The main thing I did not like about this class was just that we did not have access to any of his powerpoints. He did give us access to note outlines though which was helpful.
Yost is an amazing professor, I've taken literally all of his classes and I believe anybody that says he is tough did not give his classes the attention they needed. I loved working with Dr. Yost so much, that I chose him as my Capstone Professor and it has been my pleasure to learn from him and also work along side him through my 4 years.
Dr. Yost nice, but his teaching style is complete lecture with little interaction. He gets mad if no one answers his questions in class, is hard to get in touch with outside of class, and goes through material really fast (PowerPoints are copyrighted so he can't upload them to Canvas or let you take pictures). Challenging, but knows his stuff!
I am doing well in the class, but he sure is tough. Study hard for both the lecture and lab exams (like, I am talking ten hours at least). Just know that it is definitely possible to do well, but this class teaches you how to be a strong college student!
The pros are I like that his labs don't require much work outside of it, but studying for it is hefty and clearly he knows his material. Now the cons... the way he teaches the class is absolutely terrible. He goes really fast, goes over an excessive amount of material within an hour, and there is little access to his resources. You got to study.
Dr. Yost acts like students in k103 are in senior-level courses. This is a freshman course and he makes it so much harder than it should be. he also never replies to any of my emails. I have taken this course before and I got an A in the course but now here I am taking it for my biology major and I am struggling to maintain a B exam info is in book
He doesn't provide the slides he used, 1/2 the time he doesn't even follow the outline provided, and always goes very fast. So you'll never have ALL of the notes. The test answer's are all very similar, so be sure to know EVERYTHING. Be ready to fail lab, as they only give you 30 sec. to answer each question on lab exams given by slides. Goodluck!
He is uncompromising and stuck in his ways. I would not recommend as the tests are overly difficult and that is one of the few things that are graded.
Dr. Yost is hands down the worst professor. He doesn't post slides, record his lectures, OR let you take pictures of slides, but goes through his lectures at rapid fire speed. I don't recommend even going to his lectures, his exams ask for WAY more than what he "teaches." Just read the book. Unfortunately he's the only option for K103.
This class is by far the hardest class I have ever taken. Granted we got moved online due to the current health situation, it only made the class 10x more difficult than it already was. You have to read the exam questions 5-6 times before you can even begin to comprehend what the question is asking. The curve was also taken away midsemester.
Imagine curving all of your students except the ones taking the course during a global pandemic :) Instead of making the class easier during these tough times, he made it 10xs worse! Last-minute announcements for everything! And gets frustrated whenever anyone asked about grading. I would say don't take him, but we're all left with no choice... GL!
My biggest issue with him is that he is a terrible teacher. I mean, he is the worst explainer of things I've ever seen. His lectures are worthless. You'll have to read the book. Fortunately, attendance isn't mandatory. Grading criteria WERE clear until the quarantine started. After that, it was very unorganized compared to my other classes.
Never answeres your emails. be prepared to have the hardest class in your degree. especially lab, you will spend many many hours to remember all bones and muscles. He is ok prof, but he knows too much and forgets that we pay for this course to learn, not to take ultra-heavy tests and remember material about every organism which able to move.
This was the worst class I have taken. No replies to my emails ever. No curve during the global pandemic. Before the pandemic, I was on track for an A, but with no curving, this didn't happen. The slides are not available to view, and you don't have enough time to write the info down. Questions come from the book, that he never mentions in lecture.
Only class I have got a B in, in my two years of college. I received an A- in orgo & yet this basic bio class broke me. Lab is easy, but Dr. Yost was my recitation leader & his open ended quiz questions, plus his lecture exams, are unnecessarily hard. By far the hardest class I have taken, only due to the teacher. Interesting material, bad teacher.
Dr. Yost is actually a good professor. Everyone leaves bad reviews, however this is a college course, and if you want a good grade, you need to put in the effort. If you review the notes regularly along with the textbook, you will do just fine. The lab exams are definitely more challenging, so definitely study ahead of time for those.
This class is definitely the most difficult class I have ever taken, and that includes organic chemistry. However, I think that Dr. Yost is pretty good. He does generally seem to care. His tests are intense but he seems to try methods to make memorizing a little easier. The class really depends on the student to be honest.
Since Covid, we are taking class online. He is not tech savy, goes too fast, too much material too little time. Posts lectures after class, but barely covers material in class. Will not allow make-up exams, even if internet goes out during your exam. Requires LockDown Browser, proctered exam. Homework is 25 questions, one due every two days.
The class material is very interesting and I enjoyed that aspect. However, the amount of notes for lectures is CRAZY! I filled up a binder for the 1st of 4 tests alone! His tests are free-response to written prompts. I did like that there were 30 questions on the test, but you only had to answer the ones you wanted, not all 30. I would take it.
I took K103 in Fall of 2020 when it was all online. I focused heavily on reading the book, and i thought the tests were fairly easy. I enjoyed Yost's class. Covers interesting information, and a plus if you already took Anatomy and Physiology as 2/3 of the class is that.
This man is actively trying to discourage people from pursuing STEM fields. He's a terrible teacher, doesn't care about his students, and goes incredibly fast and gives us so much info to learn in so little time. You know it's bad when a Bio prof. makes Chemistry look easy. I don't think he cares about his job. Avoid taking his class if you can.
This class is the worst class I have ever taken in my entire academic career. Even as a Biomedical Engineering senior, I got straight As in all my classes. He does not care about the students and has horrible teaching skills. If you can take a class at a community college, or take a class at Purdue or IU Bloomington please do so. Do not recommend.
I have never felt the need to rate one of my professors, but this has been the absolute worst class I have ever been a part of, so I felt the need to do so to warn others. No care for his students, very unorganized, and terrible at explaining things. Yost also comes off as very rude, and is not very tech-savvy. Avoid taking this class at all costs.
Yost is one of the worst professors Ive ever had. Almost nothing that he says in class matters for the exams. Also, he makes it so that you cant go back to previous questions when taking an online exam. Lab feels like an entirely unrelated class and the lab exams suck. My recitation leader actually taught me more than Yost did.
It shouldn't be this much of a battle to get a good grade in the class. Yost has the class set up to where if you don't get nearly perfect scores on tests and assignments, you won't get an A. I average Bs on my lecture tests and perfect scores on my recitation assignments/quizzes and I'm looking at an average C grade. Doesn't want you to succeed.
Yost is not a bad guy at all, his lectures are just terribly boring and overpacked with information. Large majority of class points are tests, so the only way to pass is attending lecture and/or reading the textbook.
If possible, FIND A DIFFERENT PROF TO TAKE THIS COURSE WITH. The biology department would be much improved with the dismissal of Dr. Yost.
Study study study... If you are in Bio-K 101 and feel like you've had your head trapped in the books, get ready! If you put your mind to it you will do well. Attend lectures, labs, and recitations. Take good notes and really put work into the class. It will pay off! There is always the BRC if you need help!
Nice guy outside of class, but in class don't expect to only rely on the lectures/slides to get you through his exams. He doesn't say it but he requires you to do stuff beyond his lectures in order to get a good grade. Work ahead, you will not have time to slack in his class, his class is built around studying every day little by little.
Doctor Yost is a very good and intelligent professor. He definitely knows what he is talking about and is good about lecturing the material. However, some concepts are difficult to understand and he will not slow down so it is easy to become confused. The exams are difficult, studying is definitely required. However this class is very interesting!!
Class seems to be designed to be hostile towards students. Information displayed on screen is irrelevant or just two words from a sentence he said. Do not attempt to write down the information displayed on screen you'll miss the far more important verbal information.
Good luck with this class. Average exam scores before curve are about 40%. The lab for this class is extremely difficult. With the average score for the lab being an F. Seems like they would change the curriculum by now. Lectures are way overpacked with information. This class makes me wanna KMS
I love Dr Yost. He is a great lecturer and is very nice. He doesnt spoon feed you, but this is college so I would definitely take other classes with him.
I had to take this class twice. Aside from the class being a review of every science field to exist, he doesn't care about his students. He gets irritated when you email him. Don't bother asking for a meeting with him to talk about your tests. He doesn't discuss the exams outside of class under any circumstances. Good Luck. He's the only option.
He is a difficult prof. The exams are the only thing in the gradebook and the lab is difficult as well. Make sure to review his notes and do the practice questions at the back of the textbook. Good Luck!
I had Prof Yost for Human Bio and I will have him again for Human Bio II this spring. He makes guided notes, which makes it easier to follow along during his lectures. He takes a while to upload things most of the time. The quizzes and homework assignments are worth 10 or fewer points, and the exams are worth 120-150 points.
So disappointed he was the only prof to teach this course. His lectures are horribly boring and he just spews a ton of info on his slides. Hard to follow and difficult to learn from him. I taught myself everything and got one of my first Cs. He's not personable or very accessible. If you have other options, I urge you to take it. HeNeeds to retire.
Do we VERY well in lab and recitation its necessary to pass. tests are so hard to gauge '1 of these, 2 of these, none of these' answers seemingly made to trick you. He's nice and passionate but you'd think if a massive curve is on each test just for anyone to pass decently you'd change something. 1st test is the worst, lab tests are important.
I have never had an issue with any of my professors but he has been the absolute worst. He refuses to post the slides and grills anyone who tries to take pictures of them because he talks entirely too fast for anyone to ingest the hoards of information given. He purely teaches for the paycheck and isnt interested in helping students actually learn
THE WORST PROF! Does not care about students, feels like he enjoys your failures. 4 grades for the whole sem (all exams). Exam is basically a book of trick questions. Lab is okay but not super educational. The bio department would excel without him. Time to retire. Avoid at all costs. Class is a huge disappointment compared to 101 w/ Dr. Marrs
AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Yost is the worst prof i've ever experienced. He does not care at all, doesn't give any resources, only grades in this class are the 4 exams and 3 lab exams, seems like he does not want anyone to pass, does not give out his powerpoints so you must attend every lecture, or you miss tons of info please save yourself and your GPA.
Professor Yost sucks. The science department is lacking in their selection of professors and Yost is definitely one of them. Very intimidating to talk to, not helpful at all at office hours. Lectures are very fast paced and exams have trick questions on them. Exam questions are very hard and are curved very heavily because everyone does so bad.
HATE THIS CLASS AND PROFESSOR YOST. HE IS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL AND THE ONLY GRADES IN THE GRADEBOOK ARE EXAMS. EXAMS DIVE VERY DEEP AND YOU HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING. SHOULDN'T BE A DIFFICULT CLASS FOR INTRO LEVEL CLASS. PLS AVOID THIS CLASS AND YOST AT ALL COSTS
People rate him as awful because it is a tougher class compared to K101. However, he is a great lecturer, he worries whether we are understanding the material or not.
Hard class, but passable. Create a study group and do group exam/objective reviews on zoom for every exam. The lab is hard and not synced with the lecture well. Great RCT, super helpful with lots of handouts. Dr. Yost always answered questions, if he didn't know he asked a different professor to ensure you got the right information. Use Studocu
Nothing can prepare you for this class. He writes the MCAT so the exams are just confusing and sometimes don't relate to important material. My advice is to do really well in lab and recitation (they are much easier) which will save you from bad grades in lecture. Lecture exams are mega-curved though.
I had Dr. Yost last semester for BIOLN212 and it's not much different. If you skip class you'll miss out on the lectures. He doesn't publish the PowerPoints so be ready to do a lot of typing and/or writing. There's homework and a quiz for every chapter. He also takes a while to put the grades in, and they are not 100% accurate on canvas.
I was a mentor for this class and let me say, he purposefully makes this class difficult for students. He feeds into the behavior of other mentors in making the class hard, which overall just added to the negative environment.
Biggest problem with Dr. Yost is that he has failed to make his class accessible. Most professors have improved the accessibility of their classes by posting lectures online and making material easier to access for students who need it and those who just want it for help. He does not post notes, lectures, study guides, power point slides, nothing.
He is a good professor but the work is pretty insane for a 100 level class. I took this class while taking 400 levels and it was by far the hardest class. The lab is ridiculous but if you put in the work you will pass.
This is the most challenging class I have ever taken(studied 20+ hours a week). If you want an AorB in this class you have to put in a ton of hard work.I recommend making notecards because trying to study from 30+ pages of lecture notes from each chapter is overwhelming. I also highly recommend reading the book and watching youtube videos,Goodluck!
Horrible professor. Refuses to post resources, does not allow recording of lectures or pictures of slides, and talks very fast and does not revisit slides. A professor's job is to impart knowledge, and all Dr Yost does is waste time. Frustrated I had to pay for a class in which I received nothing except fast lectures and an out-dated prof.
Quite literally one of the worst professors I've ever had. One of the worst classes I've had to take as well. You can't access any of his resources outside of class. Exams are super confusing. Do your best in lab and recitation and PLEASE put the work in. It's definitely a hard class but with enough self help you'll make it. Needs to leave ASAP.
Yost teaches the material in a confusing/caotic way. He jums all over the place, goes fast, and talks quietly. The first exam was over 11 chapters. he gives way too much info it's impossible to know it all. The exams are extremly difficult & have a major curve. He writes the exams as if it was an mCAT question so they are very hard. I hate bio now.
definitely attend lecture. do not listen to all the bad reviews if you are a driven student willing to put work in outside of classes. recitation is also a life saver. make friends and study with them, for this type of content it helps. class has a ton of material, so it is hard to grasp, but you will thank yourself for staying on top of it.
Dr. Yost was great! He's very knowledgeable and repeatedly stops to make sure students don't have questions during lecture. He truly teaches you how to think things through. Go to lecture, record lecture, listen back to lecture, and study and understand the outlines/notes you take! Dr. Yost tests for comprehension. No ppts, just know the outlines!
Preface: I was in the top 90% of this class. If you enjoy unclear exam expectations, poorly constructed lectures, and no extra credit opportunities, this is the class for you! Look, bottom line, this class was way too stressful for what it's worth. The content is interesting, but the way Dr. Yost teaches is exhausting. Choose a different course.
Love him! I had him for k103 and he goes much slower in K212. Some of the material is repeated from k103 too so it seems easier. There's less kids in the class so he's more approachable, I always sit in the front, and he personally asked me every day if I'm doing okay in class. He answered every question I had. He seems scary, hes not!
Overall, Dr. Yost was an effective professor. Yes, his class is very demanding and the topics and the lectures are hard to decode. But, I feel that the point of this class, that a class would not be so easy and accessible in terms of passing is a good lesson. He told me himself that this class prepares you for life. You put in the work, all good.
Dr. Yost is a kind person himself, but he makes the class unintentionally hard. Nothing can prepare you for the exams. He throws a bunch of questions on a paper and expects you to just know the answers. He also does "most best correct" so all answers on a test are correct, but he wants the one that is most correct which makes it very confusing.
EXAMS like a MCAT.-.
doesn't post lectures, notes are not helpful for exams.
All of his exams are so heavily curved because everyone fails them. He will yell if you take pictures of his slides.
I enjoyed all of my previous Biology classes before I took this class. Now, I never want to look at a Biology text book again. He seems nice, but Dr. Yost is probably the worst professor I have ever had... his tests were so hard and the students are so unprepared that he has to curve it immensely. To put simply, run don't walk away from this class.
If you don't gotta take this class DO NOT DO IT! He doesn't upload the slides, you can't take pictures of them, gives you little time to take notes, and exam contents are unclear so you're just studying whatever hoping it'll be on there. He is a nice man but he is just so difficult to deal with.
Dr. Yost is clearly very smart. I think he would be better suited to teaching graduate courses rather than those at the undergraduate level. If you love reading and suffering, take Yost. As others have mentioned, the lectures are long, fast, and content heavy. You can take audio recordings but cannot take pictures and they're not uploaded. Pray.
The lecture part is only exams. The exams were confusing at times, but I just filled out the objectives from the notes and used flashcards and I got an A. Lab exams are easy and recitation quizzes are also easy. You can make up any recitation points for going to the BRC. His exams are poorly written, though.
Professor Yost appears to be a decent person, but not a great professor. He is often rude and rarely answers questions. I purchased a hard copy of the textbook and it is the only thing that helped me pass the course. He covers materials very fast. He is also not the most approachable person, if you have questions the BRC is your best option.
I dont think Yost is a very "good" professor, he doesnt post notes, he doesnt have any office hours/looking over exams, test questions are confusing, the only reason I gave him 4 stars is because I learned a lot from this course that will help me down the line. If you're planning on going dental/med K103 WILL help. Take Ivy tech if just need credit
no words
barely gave us anything to study from and has really hard exams
You gotta FIGHT for an A in this class. His exams are infamously difficult but are curved sometimes by more than 20%. He doesn't post any of his PowerPoints, and while he is incredibly intelligent, at times his lectures come off unclear. For lecture exams, use the chapter objectives to study, and for lab exams, use the PowerPoints and checklists.
Terrible.
Dr. Yost is nice, however, most of the time I did not feel very prepared for exams.
nothing compares to bio 101, get ready...
Does not give exams back, does not give study guides, you will never know what you got wrong on exams. The first exam had material we never went over, the recitation leaders can't and don't know what to cover because Yost never informs them on how to lead the class. Overall a mess of a class, hoping our paths never EVER cross again.
The material itself isn't difficult, but his test formats are terrible. He writes them like the MCAT which might be helpful for a higher-level bio course, but this is an introductory level bio. He doesn't let you see exams unless you meet with him, so you can't even improve on what you did wrong. This class is harder than organic chemistry for me.
This is not an easy class, and I think the fact that Dr. Marrs typically teaches Bio101 the semester before makes a big difference. He is a great professor, just very to the point. He covers a lot of material very quickly, so practice taking notes quickly and study VERY frequently. His exams are infamously hard, but fair.
Dr. Yost was not the bad as everyone makes him seem to be. As long as you attend lecture you will be fine!!!
Lectures fast--big jump from K101. Doesn't allow for video recording or pics of slides to be taken, so difficult to follow aand keep up sometimes. Exams are extremely difficult, agree with the MCAT style comment. Study guides are not helpful and there is no exam review, even in recitation. Makes jokes, answers questions fairly, and lighthearted.
Honestly such a sweet guy. His exams are very difficult but he curves so much. If you go to lecture and make a connection that you are eager to learn you will succeed! I think his lectures are highly important especially for the medical field.
I think the material is really interesting, but I don't like how content-heavy the exams are. It might seem like there are only a few chapters, but each one is packed with so much information. It's a lot to handle, especially when you're in STEM and juggling other demanding classes.
BLESS DR. YOST. I'm not going to lie, as someone that tends to get A's easily, this class was NOT easy, but 1-on-1, he's really nice. If you took an anatomy class before (like in hs), you'll have an advantage. I was less than half a percent away from an A, so he bumped me up. Prioritize listening to him over notes in lecture. Lab saved my grade 🙏
The content is not difficult, his exams are. He tests on random things from the content, things you might not think are important. His questions are also confusing. Study early, make your own questions. The lab and recitation are also chaotic and unhelpful. He needs to throw out the whole thing and start over.
Frankly not that hard of a class if you just take the time to understand, not memorize, especially for later chapters. It is an adequately difficult class to prepare pre-med students for even more difficult classes down the line. If you tried everything and still struggle, you may want to reconsider medicine or make a big change in your attitude.
Big jump from k101. Nice teacher, heavy material, difficult exams. Make sure to attend lecture and take good notes. Exams take up the more weight in the final score than Lab/RCT, although every point counts. For exams learn big concepts first and then memorize as many details as you can. If you want an A get ready to work hard for it. Best of luck.
Skipped every day of this class after the first 3 lectures and still did just as good as everyone else because EVERYONE'S FAILING. The absurdly high curve saves all. It's so bad, I want to give him a 0, but I cant, so I give him a 1.
Pros - This class is a really good way to prepare you for the rest of bio courses and pre-med stuff. Genuinely learned a lot. Cons - No videos/slides posted, tests are extremely difficult & require a LOT of studying, he is not the most helpful & recitations have quizzes you have to be ready for. Too difficult for this class level imo.
He's actually a nightmare. He refuses to post material, so if you don't attend class you're likely screwed. Have a disability that makes it hard to attend class? Godspeed. If you have a good recitation leader it can be a saving grace, and the lab isn't too hard. He talks at the speed of light and lecture nothing but yapping and 3 chapters per day.
I drive to this class without a seatbelt to somehow end this madness. He does not post any of his material such as videos or slides, and it makes no sense. You can not take photos of his slides he will call you out for some reason. Extremely difficult for a level 100 course in my opinion. Make sure to have good TA's your grade depends on it.
I disagree with the opinions on here. Yes this class is difficult, the material is hard. But if you actually go to class pay attention and study. It is not hard to do well. the tests are based on applying the concepts that you learn so you actually have to think critically. This class is very good preparation for those who are pre-professional.
I think Robert is a good professor, but he makes the class more difficult than it needs to be. Not posting the lecture slides is an example. As long as you show up to lecture, participate in lab and recitation, take good notes and study, passing this class is very feasible (there is a considerable curve). Be sure to go to each lab and recitation.
Truly one of the professors of all time
