Reviews of professor Vincent Yanello

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
he teaches at UT now but as long as you actually do the lab reports he will give you a good grade (over a B) read his reviews and he will tell you how to fix everything to secure an A. Lab was fun with him

Yanello is such a funny and caring guy. I failed almost all of the tests and studied very hard for them but to calculate the final grades he takes very many things into consideration. Go to all of his review sessions(1 before every test) and you will see he is caring and funny. I did the most work for this class I have ever done but I learned a lot

When I took his class it was his first semester of teaching after being a TA. I liked him as a person but his tests were super hard and he gave out a lot of homework. The lectures and the tests didn't match up evenly in my opinion. Be willing to put in many late nights and prepare to work. Most of the class would have failed without a curve.

He's is a good teacher, but the tests are hard. They're harder then what we practice in class, HW, quizzes & review sessions, so it's difficult to study for. Best option is office hours because he explains everything in depth & gives clues on what could be on the test. There's also a big curve that saved everyone's grade at the end of the semester.

No cap this class was horrible!!! Everybody say the curve help but every year its lower. He is horrible at making study guides and reviews. Everyone is failing and if you ask for help all he going to do is tell you to "stay in the class average" as if you can predict the average before the test. Practice problems easier then the real test crazy....

Do all of the problems in his lecture multiple times, they are very similar to the test questions. He is a great guy and super helpful during office hours. He will work out problems on a white board for you. Make sure to take good notes. I did bad on the final (67) and still got an A-, curves nicely and you actually learn a lot!

He was great and really helpful in office hours! the test were super hard but my grade for the whole semester was a D which curved out to be a B+ so it all worked out in the end

Yanello is the best chem professor at FSU. Office hours are a must, he genuinely cares and wants you to understand the material and will go out of his way to teach you 1 on 1. He also does nighttime review sessions. Tests are hard, but he curves the entire class at the end of the semester, my class was curved 14%. Everyone I know passed the class.
