Young makes this class a breeze. He drops some tests and quizzes and everything is online. First day of class he told us to use all our resources to pass the tests. You need to actually show up to this class! He shows a lot of videos and you will be tested on them. No fear though his lectures are east to pay attention to because he's a funny guy.

Prof. Young is a great lecturer and makes the material interesting. The only reason I wouldn't give him a 5 is because he doesn't tell you what you get wrong on tests/ quizzes and he uses the same questions in future exams so if you get some wrong, you're not sure which they are and may get them wrong again. Otherwise, great professor!

He doesn't really teach, he uses examples from shows/movies to explain his concepts. That being said, its an easy class and I actually feel like I learned something.

Only graded on quizzes and exams, you can't go back to change your previous answer. Open-note open-book exams and quizzes online. He will go over the most missed questions and they will most likely show up again on later exams.

I did not go to every class but I probably should have. Most (if not all) of the grades are quizzes and tests, and roughly half of the questions will ask about something watched/talked about in class.

The class was VERY entertaining, and successful at teaching basic communication skills. He drops the lowest score for exams and quizzes. My only problem was that some assignments were due on the weekends so if you tend to do things on the day they're due, and don't check on the weekend, you'll get a bad grade in a very easy class.

Very funny professor and the lectures are very entertaining. The homework isn't too bad, but the exams can be a little annoying. Overall, this is a pretty easy class.

Lots of homework

Took this over summer B and it was pretty easy. There's a module to read and assignments weekly. Nothing too crazy, pretty easy credit. Would take again.

Content wasn't super hard, but going to class defiantly helps. He's really funny and makes the lectures interesting so it's not terrible. Graded by 5 exams and 7 quizzes plus the final which isn't my favorite, but he drops the lowest quiz/test.

My only stipulation is the way the exams are set up. You get one minute per question, and you have to take it one question at a time. No way to go back and look over or double-check answers. And after a test is over, you can't even go back to see what you've gotten wrong. Some of the q's are based on lectures, but attendance is not mandatory

This class was light and fun. Basically everything was online but going to lectures was worth it. They were funny and I learned a lot. You could probably get an A without going to lectures or reading the textbook since everything is open note.

Loved his energy and lectures! You do not need the book to do well in the class. I opened it like twice in total, and it was only at the beginning of the class.
