Reviews of professor John Yarotsky

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I am convinced he is writing his own rating because there is NO WAY someone going to rate him a 5. One of the nastiest professors at NJIT. I never met someone so rude in my life. Does not care about his students at all! Does not want them to succeed.

hands down the best professor for mammalian physiology! he is very knowledgeable and the class can never get boring with yarotsky. he is very engaging and enthusiastic when he teaches. there are 4 exams and he drops the lowest score and they are not too bad as long as you study  and watch his lecture videos he shares.

Biol 340 (Mamm Phys) with Dr. Yarotsky is a solid class. You'll learn a lot and his Powerpoints are very thorough. Dr. Yarotsky is an articulate lecturer who will make an already engaging class more engaging. Lecture Exams are pretty easy and you can study the day of/night before. Lab exams can be a little more difficult depending on your TA

Absolutely horrible.I have no idea why his rating is high.The hardest class in all of Biology.Makes it 10 times harder than what it is. It does not curve at all. Do not take. He is so rude you can ask you a simple question and he will give you the nastiest response back.Definitely take class with a different professor that actually curves (Fortune)

very nice professor and he makes lectures interesting.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
he is a good teacher. if you pay attention in class you will learn a lot. the course itself is a lot of content and work. however, he could have made the course easier by curving and helping the students out like other professors for the this class do. he has uploaded lectures. if you watch those and pay attention you can do well

Honestly professor Yarotsky is easily the smartest professor in the biology department by far here at njit or Newark. Hes gonna be cocky but he has a right to hes too smart and knows so much science information. His tests are hard gotta study but if youre going to Med school you need this anyways

Very enthusiastic instructor who made lectures fun to listen to even though it was a 6-9. Just don't disrupt and he won't call you out. The course was straightforward with grading (3 exams, 50 MC) and he always gave points back if a lot of people had issues with a question. Fun and encouraging class.
