I enjoyed taking classes with Mr. V. He does an excellent job presenting the material. It was my first biology class and even though it was new material, he made it easy to remember based on his lecture and examples. One thing, make sure you take good notes because there is no study guides.

Mr. Vinson is by far the best professor I've had at trident thus far. He does everything he can to make sure you have everything you need to pass his class. SHOW UP, stay the WHOLE class period, take notes in class, & study them. If you miss for any reason, LEC notes are on d2l. You'll pass with flying colors. Wish he'd lecture in BIO211.

While he may tell VERY corny dad jokes, he is an amazing teacher that really cares about his students. His regular quizzes make you study, so once the exam rolls around, you are familiar with the material. Make sure to study his notes taken in class, as that is where most of his questions come. He also has notes typed out from each chapter.

Mr. Vinson was by far the best professor I have had. The tough course work for this class was not bad with him as my teacher. He gives you everything you need to be successful on quizzes and tests.

He's super great! I'd definitely recommend. He's a teacher that wants everyone to pass. No need to buy the book, I got a very high A in the class without buying it. If you show up to class and take all the notes/study them, you should be fine. No BIO course is a walk in the park, but it helped knowing I had all the info needed to succeed.

You need to attend every class and write down everything he puts on the board or you cannot pass the tests. He makes class fun and will work with you if you ask.

I'm not really sure how he has high rating. I could barely understand this guy when he talks. When comes to the chemistry part, well I hope you know chemistry very well, otherwise you'll be confused to the point of dropping the class. Take Vernetha Bryant or Cicely Blair instead. I did and passed with A+++

I got an A in his class because he gives you every piece of information you need, you still have to put in the time and effort to study to get a good grade though. His humor may be corny but at least he tries. I personally think he's good at what he does and I 10/10 recommend.

Dr. Vinson was great! I didn't even have a text book for this class and got an A. BUT you have to stay awake for his lecture. He has some dry humor but honestly the best BIO teacher I had this far. Come to class, take your notes, and you got an A. Test and quizzes are clear he tells you what you need to know for them. GREAT MAN!

Mr. Vinson was a great teacher. I took him for Bio 210 and had Mr. Robert for my lab. Vinson's grading is fair, he's clear with the material that he wants you to learn and his study guides for the final are to the t.

Super helpful guy. A&P I is not an easy class but he makes it where you can understand. Very fast with grading. Study his notes and you will pass. It's a lot of information but his teaching style makes it interesting. No surprises or trickiness. If you put in the work, you can easily make an A or B. Wish he taught for A&P II.

As some of us know, Anatomy and Physiology is a very intense class, but Mr. Vinson makes it fun and easier. His notes are clear and precise and will help you if you ask for it. He even gives you funny mnemonics to help remember certain topics. He is one of the most helpful teachers I have come across.

Looove him! He is very funny, incredibly nice, and is very, very helpful. He of course does not tell you the questions that will be on tests or quizzes but will explain what chapters, etc. which is very helpful. For the final we were told how many questions per chapter there would be which was very helpful! Would definitely recommend him. :)
