Reviews of professor Matthews Yost

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Most of the assignments are online & so is the book (which is needed to do anything in the class). The book is needed to take notes too which are important too. He's very adamant about the lessons & your welfare in the class. Participation is a big grade factor too, so are the tests, quizzes & group work.

Prof Yost isn't gointg to give you an easy A for sure, but he really wants you to do well. He will explain one concept for the whole class period if necessary to make sure everyone gets it, which I appreciate. Very caring, understanding professor. DON'T skip- after a week's worth of absences (unexcused) your overall grade goes down

I took Advanced French Grammar and really liked the class, we do have some homework, not too much. Study REALLY well for the exams and take notes since most of the times the slides were not available for students. Prof. Yost tries his best to make the class environment light, he tends to forget things but is really caring and knowledgeable overall

Professor Yost has a very engaging French class and he genuinely wants his students to do well. The work is manageable and it is generally pretty easy to study for. Just show up, put in the work, and you will get an A. He's very chill, but I can imagine this class is much harder for someone who has no prior knowledge of French.

DO NOT bother taking this class if you've never taken French before. Moves through material way too fast, extremely disorganized and hardly ever gives feedback on work. Called on other students over me, then gave me a bad participation grade. Offered no help when I was clearly struggling. Not beginner friendly at all!

He is a very nice professor, and willing to work with you when issues arise. However, if you dont have prior knowledge of French, you'll likely struggle. He speaks in French majority of the class. You should definitely attend lectures regularly, and study often. Practice pronunciation, spelling, grammar, etc. Tests are not multiple choice.
