May 26, 2015

With the material alone I thought she was a helpful teacher. She taught multiple ways to solve a problem, which was at times confusing. It was a night class so maybe she was burnt out by then. The only issue I had with the class was lack of control by her. Just other students constantly talking out, which in a math class is hard to focus.

Ms. Young was very confusing & disorganized. Her teaching methods were odd: instead of teaching a formula or showing a way to solve the problem, she would give us a problem & expect us to solve it. The study guides she gives don't reflect the tests at all. If you like stress, frustration, confusion, & being angry then this is the teacher for you!

She's a good teacher, but she gives so much homework and if you turn in any of it late or come to class late then you will only get 50% credit for your work. Over all, she can be confusing, but when you get a hang of her teaching style, then you will learn a lot from her. Her study guides are helpful, so take those seriously. Best Stat Teacher.

Ms. Young teaches a pretty fun class. She'll sprinkle anecdotes throughout the semester that makes the math seem more human... Getting an A in her class SHOULD be easy, she lets you use a cheat sheet on tests, constantly exposes you to the material, gives you class notes, and the study guides are pretty indictaive of what the tests are like.

Currently in the class and I would not take it ever again with her. It seems as if she read the textbook the night before and tries to explain a whole section the next day. It is awful.

Professor Young is by far one of the best math instructors that I have taken so far in my entire life. She has a lecture, but allows students to practice the concepts through the lab problems that she hands out during the beginning of class. If you need to take stats please take it withe her, as you will not regret it.

Professor Young is amazing! I've never rated a professor, but I enjoyed her class so much that I had to let y'all know. Her lectures are heavy so make sure to not miss a class, but is lenient if you do (just watch the lecture.) she's also funny and makes you feel comfortable to ask questions. Personally I'm not good at math but she was so helpful

Ms. Young is good at teaching, however, has very little patience. Whenever you ask her a question, she gives you a very vague answer or expects you to suddenly know how to do it. We go through a handful of topics very quickly, but she explains it well and the notes help a lot.

Prof Young helped me be confident in my math abilities. Her notes are the BEST and makes study guides with answers/how to solve. She prepares you very well for tests, hints/tells you what to expect on the test, and even allows a cheat sheet for all 3 tests + final. Go to office hours and if that isn't enough, LPC has plenty of stats tutors to help

Class is over 3 hours. But I think most of the math classes are adopting this structure now with the adjunct classes being mandatory. Lectures and group work really helped learn the material. Forming study groups and going to the tutor center will help a lot with preparing for tests. She is great and really caring. Take her class if you can.

Professor Young is the greatest math professor that I've had, hands down. She is inspirational and really wants everyone to succeed in her class and in life. I have terrible math anxiety - but I studied, did the hw and got tutoring - and I passed with an A. It's a hard class, but you learn tons. It was worth it! Take her class!!

Professor Young is amazing. She's very supportive of your learning every step of the way!!! Attendance is essential to succeed in this course!!! As she'd say, "you learn math by doing math!" The lectures are key to success because the notes are guided through practice. Take this course if you want to learn math in a supportive environment!!!

It's been a blessing taking Ms. Young's Stats! I truly learned a lot from her! She is no doubt good at teaching, caring, and flexible. Her materials are fabulous, lab work helps a lot, and can truly apply to your life! She'll take you through everything you need to know and prepare you so well for exams. If you need to take Stats, take Ms. Young's.

Easiest (but longest lectures) math class I've ever taken. Just show up and listen to the lectures. You are given a 1/4 page of notes per exam and given the full sheet for the final. Exams are easy and straightforward. Professor is also very friendly, brought us donuts one time. Take the course if you can.

Others had a good experience with her but personally I found her to be a little cold. Yelled at me a few times when I was struggling to understand the problem I was reading because she assumed I wasn't working on the assignment. Yes she was trying to be encouraging but it wasn't well received. Wish I took a different professor.

(Part 6 of 6) Other things about her is she's quite funny, she loves her card tricks, she likes saying "folks" a lot and sometimes she'll have some candy to share, and sprinkles great life advice throughout her classes. If you have to take stats, PLEASE take Ms. Young's. If it was anyone else's, I'm so sure I would have failed.

(Part 5) Ms. Young is definitely intimidating, can be seen as cold, and scared me multiple times but it does keep everyone in check and she really is kind and wants everyone to do well in her class. She also provides a good amount of extra credit opportunities, offers support classes, tells you what the exams will be like, prepares you very well.

(Part 4 of 6) Ms. Young is extremely gifted in teaching, using techniques such as analogies, repetition, catchy phrases throughout and much more to her advantage. What made her teaching especially effective is her ability to clearly articulate concepts and immediately require application of it either by ourselves or with our peers.

(Part 1 of 6 bc of word count) Guys let me tell you, I've hated math almost all my life, except when I understood it. However, I really enjoyed Ms. Youngs stats class, it's definitely one of the best classes I've taken. I'm younger than most in this class and when I first walked in and saw all the equations, I was super scared.

As someone who has struggled with math my entire life, I loved this class. Ms. Young really helped me understand what we were learning, plus she gives plenty of time during and after class to ask for help. She can come off a bit cold and stern, but she truly does care. If you talk to her individually, she's a lot warmer and has amazing stories.

Prof. Young was the sweetest teacher I have had in a long time. She genuinely cares about her students and gives us all the necessary resources to succeed. The lessons were fun and engaging. There are many opportunities for extra credit and the online homework has late passes. Just pay attention in class and you'll get by easy!

(Part 2 of 6) Stats, along with this class being pretty fast paced is definitely a different field of math, (maybe that's why I actually liked it hahah) but as long as you are consistent intentional, and on top of participation, homework, asking questions and truly understanding the concepts it's super doable.

Stats is not an easy course but the way Professor Young would teach made it so much easier. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She's understanding and caring. I had her 3 hour class so her lectures were thorough and she took her time to explain. I would 10/10 recommend taking her class!

She has her moments. Can be a good teacher at times, but then can switch up in a moment and start getting frustrated with your class. She's very helpful in helping you understand the material. Definitely not the worst math teacher I've had, but is an eccentric person though.

One of the best math teachers I've ever had! There's a lot of lectures, but she provides note packets with instructions + practice problems that make it easy to follow along! She also gives us study guides and practice exam packets to study with before each exam. A half sheet of notes on each exam is also allowed! Late passes for HW too!

I haven't passed a math class since I was 13 and I just got an A in this course. Ms. Young is extremely helpful and explains things in a way that's easier to understand especially for people lacking in math skills. She's very nice and thorough and brought treats for our class, and is helpful when you need it or are struggling. Participation matters
