If you take this course then take in classroom, not online.
DO NOT TAKE ECONOMICS if you dont have to. He is by far the hardest effin teacher you can find.
Tough class. Tough teacher. I really didn't get anything out of this class except credit for it. I didn't understand a lot of what he lectured on and the book was of no help. Definitely played favorites.
Great teacher! Very helpful. Make bookkeeping/accounting easy.
Took econ 101 and 102 with him. He does play favorites. Nice guy though. If you take his class, include graphs in all your assignments. He really likes the graphs
Do not take his class if you expect to learn anything. You will be screwed with any other econ classes. Plays favorites.
I took him years ago (2000) and he was very unfair. It was an online class and I would never take his class again. Tried to meet with him several times but was unhelpful and wanted nothing to do with me. He definetely has his favorites. Horrible.

A good teacher overall, to understand his lectures you have to do the assigned reading for the class. He does pick favorites but is still overall a fair teacher.
Hard but not impossible.
VERY nice guy, wants his students to succeed. DOES play favorites (I was teacher's pet!) but is still very fair. Confusing unless u read the text b4 class. Loves graphs and use of terms. With all his whims and ways, he is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
Mr. Young is a great guy and loves to be helpful. If you want to be one of his favorites, just ask questions a lot and be interested. Do the reading. He is great at teaching econ and knows his material. He is funny too and has a great personality.
Well it's true he does play favorites but that cuz they are the only ones who actually do the work, the rest are slackers. the rest of u people wanted mr. young to give u a grade rather than earning it. newayz, he still a good teacher, just as long as u do your work...... he's fair enough
Try not to take him when your hungry cause he'll be taliking about food. Don't worry if your cell phone goes off in class cause he'll start dancing to it - he is cool like that. Also don't piss him off! Get to class on time, late ppl is 1 of the things he hates. Econ is tough and he teaches it that way, but he'll always help you understand if u ask
Professor Young will go over examples and examples until the class gets the concept. He gives a lot of homework and his tests are fairly difficult. He is always open to questions and is happy to go over some of the homework problems. Also watch out, he will mark you down if you forget a dollar sign.
He has his favs!! I did all the assignment in class and on each one he gave a C! Not fair at all. His assignments are hard and we dont have enough time to work on them. Term projects are difficult. It was a let down and I didn't learn anything. If you read this, be fair and go easy on your students.

Prof. Young is an awesome teacher. He made me LOVE economics, a subject I would have never expected to enjoy. The course is NOT an easy 'A.' If you want to understand the material and do well on the tests, you HAVE to read the book!!! I got As in both micro and macro because I worked hard, asked questions, studied for the tests, and turned in my work. Yes he has favorites ( I was one of them). If you want to be one of them, participate in class and do your best. He motivates all of his students to do well.

He was a great teacher and he was so helpful anyone who says anything bad about this teacher is just mad because they were doing bad in his class. He is a great teacher one of the best i have ever had in my life. Amazing teacher is all i can say about him.
HE is very nice, very helpful, makes a boring subject intersting and his class is relatively easy.
If he likes you... You will receive a good grade like me...
Has a sense of humor, but dives out a lot of work. If you like doing things by the book he is your man. Works with you and is very friendly and understanding. His work load can be a little heavy, but his tests are fair and he is not a hard grader so just do the work. Lectures can be hard to follow if you dont keep up with the reading.
Very disorganized online. He might be a great instructor in the classroom, but online he would not respond to the students. I emailed him various times and he never responded. I asked him for my grade or how I was doing in the class and he never answered. I finally got a grade from webadvisor and sadly, I received a B.

good teacher. must earn good grade. nothing easily given, but a lot learned.
The coolest prof. on campus. U can't get a better teacher. U learn a lot from his classes. Greatest Teacher Ever.
I took him for econ 101, 102, accounting 103, 104. He is very hard, but he is a great teacher very motivating and wants his students to do well. If you work your butt off in this class you can get an A but if your not going to put all of your time and energy into this class i wouldnt take him.
Great teacher. Anybody who says different was just looking to be handed a grade and not earn it. If you don't understand, he'll make it as clear as possible. A lot of hard work, but what do you expect it's a college class. I've taken him for econ 101, 102, and acct 101. I got A's in all classes.Had to work my butt off though.
He is a nice guy, but I didn't enjoy his class. Some of his lectures seem a little off.I did well in the class and enjoyed the text, but would not take him again. He tries to make class fun, but it gets in the way of teaching. There is a decent amount of work, but just read the book and expect some weird questions on the test.C-
It was very hard to get ahold of the professor, I tried calling, writing and using the discussion board. The class was alright, the only problem that I had was finding out how I was doing. I like to know if I am doing the work the right way or to his liking and without any feedback it was hard to know.
Take his classes online, its alot of reading but worth it. Can take quizzes/midterm/final at home and gives you two chances to take each. The quizzes tell you what answers you get wrong and each time you take it you get two tries for each ? and only 4 answers to choose from. A couple written assign. and one term paper. B+
LETS SEE...LETS THE CLASS KNOW WHO IS DOING GOOD AS WELL AS BAD..POINTING OUT PROBLEMS WITH STUDENTS AND CONFLICTS IN CLASS..DOESNT FOLLOW HIS OWN SYLLABUS..DOESNT LIKE WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS GRADING POLICY...OOOOOH DONT DO THAT...THATS A NO NO..TELLS UR FRIENDS NOT TO STUDY WITH U F UR QUESTIONING HIM...WHEN HE GETS MAD HE LOOSES HIS INTELLECT AND R
Okay so this guy is tough, but thats what school is for. to CHALLENGE you. people who are looking for an easy A or B or C, dont take this class. You have to do the work to get the grade, despite what other community college courses have led you to believe. One of the best professors in the world if you're no lazy.
I think that professor Young is a very good teacher. After going back to school after four years he made me really get back into the habit of studying and taking classes more seriously. He demands a lot of work, and studying but the grade that he gives you will be worth it in the end becuase you know that you have deserved it. Great Teacher!
He is an awesome teacher! I loved being in his class, i actually am sad that it is over.Always go to him for help even if your question is really simple. I regret not going to him more often for help. Has one of the best personalty and is very interesting to be in his class.Your the best Professor Young!
Prof. Young is a very good and helpful teacher. He knows what he is talking about and does his best to help the students. However, it is a hard class indeed.There are many homeworks.Even the tests, mid-term,and final are take home,you still need to read book to find answer.If you want an A, you must do every work he gives and that's a lot.
Taking him online-doesn't seem to know what he's doing with the online course, takes far too long to respond to questions/concerns, doesn't stick to syllabus, and doesn't seem to mind that many students can't follow his directions.
Took him for Acount101,102 and econ101,102. You will not find a professor who puts more time and effort into teaching and helping his students. "Anything worth anything is hard work." Looking for easy A -go elswhere, wont find it with Young. Looking to learn a great deal from a great prof-Your in the right place with Prof.Young. THANKS PROF. SVD
Great guy and good teacher. He's not hard but you do need to do the assignments. Won't give you the grade but it is attainable enough. I earned an A in both classes. If you do poorly it's likely due to lack of effort on your part not his. Ask questions, do assignments on time, utilize office hours, show up = easy grade. Work load is manageable.
I had to work hard to get a good grade in this class and I like economics. The discussions were interesting and helpful, but just seemed like there was something off, a disconnect between the guy teaching us and the guy writing the tests, but it isn't impossible to take the class
Not very helpful at all. If you take this class you have to figure things out on your own. Never answers emails or messages. During lectures he even confuses himself. I would recommend to take someone else. I devoted alot of time and effort into this class and received only a C.
Took online class and he is not very helpful.Very rude when his students ask questions.Lots of work, and is never clear.Takes forever to grade papers.Sometimes puts the wrong answer on a test and asks "well what do you expect me to do about it" when you confront him on it. Hard to understand and get a hold of. Highly recommend taking someone else.
The last few commentators are whiners. Young is more than happy to help those that use office hours and seek his help. Put in an effort and involve yourself and you'll do well. So many students don't show up, don't do the work, and expect a good grade. Young won't hand it to you but he is a great teacher and a nice guy! I advise taking econ on site
took it online.hes is rude, he doesn't know what hes doing when he grades.he gave me a zero for an assignment that wasn't even assigned, and when i ask he said oh well.hes a jerk do not take this teacher!!!!
Young isn't the easiest teacher.Test are kind of hard, but its not the material, its the fact the you really have to know what is going on to pass them. This is college not high school. If you want to pass the class read the book. He says he does not take role, but trust me, go to class. Do this and you will do fine.
I'm sure if he showed up everyday to teach that I may have had a better outcome. But this semester my class went from 40+ to 7 kids. He maybe attended class half of the assigned days and the other half your stuck to teaching yourself the chapters and when he returned he would cover 2 chapters in a day and you are just left there going huh?
Prof Young is a very friendly guy. He basically says it how it is. When he tells you that you better be reading your book, you better be reading it if you are planning on passing. Honestly all you have to do is take the time to ask him what he specifically wants on assignments and you will pass with flying colors!
Definitely have to go to class and make sure to ask questions if you don't understand. I really liked him he was very informative, but not easy. You have to spend time outside of class too. Would highly suggest him, but not if you are lazy!
Changing the curriculum halfway through the class is unprofessional. I asked for help with the supplemental web-site, which was expensive and after he was no help I turned to the administrators. Long story short he didn't have any control over, Apila, the other site, and he even told me to not contact them. I wouldn't recommend him.
Young's class was for sure one of the toughest classes that I've taken since it really required alot of studying. He really knows his stuff when it comes to business. Young is a really cool and understanding guy that can be very easy to get along with. He's really helpful when it comes to talking about any questions or concerns that you may have. J
Very unprofessional. Didn't know how to run a classroom, tested the class on material that hadn't been covered yet, and was unclear on when/what assignments were due. He took questions on the material as attacks on his competence. Curses in class. Clearly understands his field, but just as clearly is not qualified to be teaching. Recommend against.
I don't recommend this instructor. He has changed the due date on a paper, and gave everyone shorted credit for turning it in "late" just because 3 people turned it in early. He tests on sections not covered. Loses train of thought often, and misses class too much. Doing studying at home is no big deal, but I don't want to teach myself completely.
Very hard teacher! BUT he is really helpful if you go to his office and ask questions. Make sure to read the book. Show up to class everyday,do your homework, ask questions and he will pass you. Will defenetly not recommend to lazy people who expect to pass the class without studying at least 6 hours a week. Over all good teacher!
The class is difficult but Professor Young is a great teacher who is motivated to help his students learn.
This Professor is very disorgnized. He can teach the material however that is all he does. He has yelling break downs at students when he gets questions regarding how the book and his examples do not match. Book used 1st day. You will benefit finding others to work with in a group. Quizes on material not gone over yet. Makes your grade up.
This has got to be the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. I took him online and only had two assignments all semester. Midterm and final. I was worried about not having work and I emailed him multiple times with no responses. By the end of the semester, I was missing 500+ points from missing homeworks that were not available.
Took accounting with him, very disorganized doesn't follow syllabus, changes his mind on point value and when things are due. Gave an online homework option, that was extra money then decided to stop using it half way through the semester. 45 students started out 12 remained and only 3 passed. A very fickle teacher, you don't know what to expect.
Don't take. Has no idea what a hybrid class means. He will randomly add extra question from the next chapter. When the entire class gets them wrong, he responds "you shouldve read ahead!" Don't even bother trying to correct him, he will take it personally in his bullheadedness. He may know econ, but he does not know teaching.
DON'T TAKE HIM!! He hardly shows. His exams are brutal. I was there everyday, recorded his lectures, read the book, turn in all labs ( which BDW he won't give you credit for them) and I couldn't get a fair "C", and if you ask him questions that sounds too smart for him, you get kick out of the class after he yells your grade in public!! AVOID HIM!
This professor was very unorganized and not helpful. The class was online and only 8 weeks, I've taken classes like this before and was prepared for a fast pace. However I was nOt prepared for him. His response time was horrible and I still have assignments that haven't been graded and the class was over a month ago.
Is always in a rush. DOes not take the time to make sure student undertstand the material. Test/Quizes Very Hard
He is very enthusiastic. Classes were not boring with him. Many people complain about his methods and how he is disorganized, but he only falls behind schedule because people don't study or even try their hardest in this class. Concepts are challenging but he gets his job done and teaches. He explains sometimes in class and in office hours.
Terrible teacher. He was inconsistent in his directions, would not respond to questions, and took an extremely long time to input grades. Do not take his class!
Horrible teacher. Lectures are confusing and unclear. Only 4 students finished class. He is very fickle, changes his mind on a whim. Ex. he approved the online companion but changed his mind after we spent the money). On the final, he told us there would be six free response questions, instead there were 10. Never know what to plan for. Avoid!
Henry Young is the worst possible individual to teach an online class. Not only is he completely incapable of executing a course effectively; his ability to communicate is non-existent. I have email evidence of this along with images of his inability to actually GRADE your midterm and FINAL. He also gave the final approx. 24hrs BEFORE it was DUE.
Horrible online professor! Does not follow syllabus, posts assignments/exams late, does not grade assignments(went the whole 16 weeks without getting ANY grades/feedback). Does not make announcements when posting assignments/exams late. The work is easy but you have to check the site several times a day to make sure he didn't post anything new.
Very easy going professor. Knows his material & had some entertaining lectures. If you read BEFORE class, attend all lectures, & take efficient notes you will pass with over 100%. He gives a lot of extra credit if you show him you know the material! Sit by the light switch! Btw, he's a basketball coach and entertaining to talk to him about sports
I have taken this Professor more than once. He is not good at getting back with you or updating you on a grade. Like everyone else says, he changes due dates and does not care if you missed something even though he is the one pushing the due date forward. Work that was expected to be known was not in the lectures and was still on the tests.
Young is a good teacher. He's a bit scattered brained when it comes to lectures, I think he just gets excited about what he has to cover and ends up covering too much at once. Just follow the syllabus, if it says you're doing ch6 that week then read it the weekend before and his lectures will make sense. Hit him up during office hours, he's helpful
I have taken this teacher online multiple times only because he is the only teacher available with my schedule. He is the worst teacher I have ever taken. He does not get back to you and I have tried to schedule meetings but has never responded. Told me to wait but has never got back to me. He changes due dates and isn't a teacher in my opinion.
Worst professor ever. Doesn't teach. Knows his stuff but can't teach it. Not good for this subject matter. Lectures are more about his life experience than him teaching or instructing. Disorganized. Failed me on a test because he didn't give me the last page of the test. Defensive when you ask questions. Don't do it!
Terrible teaching style. He is a nice guy and has a lot of knowledge, but does NOT know how to teach it effectively! He jumps ahead too fast, doesn't even make sure the students have learned the material before going to the next chapter. You basically have to teach the whole class yourself! The test are super hard, I wish I never taken his class .
Prof. Young tuff as he may be, is an excellent teach. This class basically determines if your ready for university classes. If you like to challenge yourself and your learning abilities take this class. If you read and study its an easy A.
Terrible communicator. Takes a week plus to get back to any question asked and is rude in his replies. Took online Micro-Econ and it was the worst online course experience I've ever had. I truly contemplated contacting the dean after the experience I had with him. Overall an extremely poor professor, worst I have ever encountered. Would give 0's
The course material was easy to understand, however, the instructor was very poor at getting back to the class about anything on. Forum questions went unanswered through the whole semester, including some of my own. He didn't add due dates to assignments until the last minute. I would not take his online course again.
In my opinion, Henry Young is one of the worst professors at VVC. His teaching method is just awful. Throughout the whole class period, he babbles on about pointless things not referring to financial accounting, doesn't go over material on the test, and is extremely rude. If you actually want to learn and pass, don't take his class.
Terrible teaching method . He enjoys showing off and impressing his students by running his mouth and filling the board with crap that only he can understand , and quickly erasing it. His quizzes cause students to fail instead of learn . He grades essays without reading half of them and assigns whatever he feels . 10% passed our class .
He's a nice guy, a guy you can grab a drink with, but as a professor, he's very scatter-brained. Just read what needs to be read and you'll do fine. Also, expect a 9-11 page essay.
Henry gives extremely little effort as a teacher. *DO NOT* rely on his lectures to teach you. Study a lot and read a lot because his lectures fail to explain concepts. As a 3.5+ gpa student I studied many hours and still recieved a B, the highest grade in his class. I watched 90% of my class fail so be prepared to study many hours. Good luck.
The class wasn't that hard as long as you complete assignments, but be prepared to write a long term paper that he won't thoroughly read or grade. He's unresponsive to emails no matter how urgent and he doesn't seem to care about the well being of his students. I do not recommend his courses. He was also a bit snippy in the emails he did reply to.
He is not focused. He spent more time speaking about what a good student does to pass a class, rather than teach the material needed for the class. If you email he won't respond, even if he does he is rude, narcissistic, and sarcastic. He draws random boxes around words with arrows pointing to nothing and thinks he is giving a good lecture.
Rambles on about stuff that does not apply to the class or the test. Read the book for 90% of the info. Hard to get a reply to an email but he does eventually and I find him to be unprofessional in tone and attitude. Save your self and don't take the class. Read the other reviews I don't have to read them as I'm sure they'll match. Take online clas
He is a nice guy but gets very defensive if you mention something he promised he would do for you . In the end I got a decent grade but not good enough to transfer. I explained my situation to him and he said he would work with me but when it came down to it he said he didn't remember telling me that so it's frustrating.
Professor young is a very nice, well spoken man. When it comes to teaching economics he doesn't have a clue. All the people, including the best students struggled to get a grip on what this guy was trying to teach. Sad that he is the head and only economics professor because he is a terrible teacher. Expect vague lectures, and no practical learning
I took Econ online with this professor, and I do not recommend it. Professor Young relied heavily on the Cengagebrain Aplia program to do the teaching. He offered powerpoints for 3 out of the 21 chapters. Professor Young also takes time responding to emails. It is hard to get an A in his class mainly because he takes time responding to emails.
Professor Young was one of the greatest econ teachers I have taken this far in my college career. he will work with you outside of class and tries his best to help explain any questions his students may have. If you don't understand something , speak up so he can help you. It is not a difficult class if you pay attention and read.
Henry Young is sporadic and unethical, relies on aplia to teach his online classes, will make you spend hours on discussion boards that he will not read before grading poorly, changes due dates depending on his mood, will promise one thing and do another, and will grade your 12 page term paper VERY poorly within 30 minutes of not reading it.
Everything I've taken from this class I've learned from my own study, and nothing from the Professor himself. His lectures are wasted time, not discussing enough of the material during class time. The board becomes a mess of graphs,leaving the class completely adrift. I simply wanted to learn, and ended up with endless frustration. Don't recommend.
Bad experiences with professor Young. Took his online course over the summer going into my freshman year & he never replied to his emails because vacation is apparently more important than a student's success. Also got dropped from the MyEconLab on the day of the final & he did nothing to help me out despite holding A throughout the course.
Young is... difficult. Sometimes lectures were easy to follow, other times they weren't. If you try to relate/speak with him outside class, he *might* give you problems to study to prepare for tests/quizzes (yes, it worked for me). Read, read, read. Tough class so prepare to do most of the work yourself. Prepare for a 10+ pg term paper in advance.
He dropped me after the first week of class of online without any warning of any kind. It made me sad because I just paid for the Aplia, so there goes 130$ for one time use code. The reason why I didn't take his class in person was because I have sat through his lectures before and they always confuse more than help.
currently taking his hybrid class - what he does is tell you something will be due one day then puts it up online to be due sooner. AS IF HIS CLASS IS THE ONLY CLASS YOU ARE TAKING. he piles on the work. you learn from the book, all he does is sketch some graphs as examples on the board in class. ridiculous
He will not try to help you if you do not understand the material even if you ask. I was dropped of his classroom after the first week of class without warning.
Professor young is by far the best teacher that a student can posses. His class is not meant to be easy, but you will definitely learn and grow as a student. Many students who attend college look for the easiest teacher, however by doing that you don't allow yourself to grow. Great Professor.
All I can say is don't waste your time or your money. Unless this is the only class you have and you have all the time in the world to make this class your life you will not pass!
I would highly recommend him online but if any other professor teaches the class then take the other professor instead of Professor Henry Young. It's like taking a master course in Economics!
I would highly not take him but if you need the class then take him online or with a different professor. He's difficult professor to work with and you will literally begin the master course in Economics.
I have the SECRET to acing his lecture course. Buy the book with online code and every time you finish reading a section (ex 1.1), work on the online practice problems. Continue to work on the online problems for every chapter until you basically memorize them! Also, show up to class on time, call him professor, ask questions and look engaged!
He is inconsistent in his grading, and refused to explain how he came up with my final course grade.
Professor Young repeatedly administered quizzes/exams with material not covered in lectures and absent from the text. He would vaguely allude to concepts and expect students to be able to display full comprehension of said concepts before they had the opportunity to ask questions or clarify any confusion. If you can avoid this class, DO SO!
The class was super hard, not because of the content, but because of how he grades on a scale that is really unclear. I would receive almost perfect scores on his tests, yet I ended up with a C. I also did good on his papers , yet I still managed to get a bad grade. I should be thankful though, as most people that take his class fail.
Professor Young is nice. You can tell he's passionate about what he teaches. However, the tests he gave were a little tough. We also had to subscribe to Wall Street which wasn't free, but was pretty cheap. Unfortunately, I still get mail from them. Definitely a tougher class I've taken.
He threw a 45 minute temper tantrum that included accusations of racism because I believed that we had a test one class earlier than scheduled (after he implied it would be early). His lectures were often more about his personal experiences than accounting and he quizzed on material he hadn't covered. Take online if you can.
In all honesty, hes a very tough Professor. Unfortunately even after taking the class I feel like I didnt learn much. His lectures are little to no help when it comes to his tests. I was a business major going into this class now Im changing it because of how discouraged I felt after it.
Overall an okay teacher. I took his econ 101 online class. Lots of work, but chegg helped alot for studying. You must do ALL of your work to pass the class. There is a research paper between 9-11 pages, i did 12 pages & recieved a C. Overall i reveived a B, i am satisfied with the grade and the teacher.
I took Professor Young for Econ 101 online. He is very sarcastic when answering emails. He deducts points on discussion boards for no reason. It sucks that he is the only professor offering Econ 102 I will make sure to take my Econ 102 at Barstow Community college instead.
Accounting is not an easy course, but not impossible to pass. Professor Young gives his lectures, and real life examples to help understand. Attendance is very important, as accounting is a bit complex. I was late to class, huge mistake on test/quiz days. If you do the reading and homework, you will pass. He's always willing to help his students.
When I started this year I was excited that Ill be getting my associates degree and complete VVC in 2 years. Ive taken all the general education in the 1st year and was imagining how fun it would be to take the classes Im actually interested in. But I took his class within my first quarter and my hopes and dreams are shattered
The worst professor at VVC. He would not respond to most emails. When he does, he would answer very vaguely. He had been telling students to use MLA for research papers till my ECON101, which I challenged him of using APA. At the same time, he said he was getting his doctrine. In ECON102, he started telling us to use APA. Stay away if possible.
I got to the end of this class with a 82% & my tests bumped up my grade to a 89%. Yet he gave me a D,I messaged him about it and he said he never makes mistakes but he gave me a C, I didnt mind to much as long as I passed but then on the last day of grade submissions he gave me an F. I tried talking to the Dean but the professor had erased evidence
Prof Young is no joke! His class was hard but worth it. He works with you and goes over every test and every question you have. You get what you give so if you are trying, show up for class, and participate he will do whatever he can to help you earn your grade. Took him for 3 classes. Very passionate lectures and cares about his students.
Professor Young wasn't a terrible teacher, the class should not have been an introductory course. You need a solid knowledge of how to use Excel and a moderate understanding of accounting. There need to be prerequisites for this class. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS AN INTRODUCTORY CLASS TO ACCOUNTING. YOU WONT PASS. Started with 35 ended with 6 students.
All I can say is that his class is difficult. Period. I would say more, but I don't want my review to be eliminated.
Took this Professor 2x. He is the only professor at VVC who teaches ECON. His on- campus class and online were the same. Little to no help from him, never responded to any emails. Posted a TON of homework & never gave enough learning material to get you through the homework. I was LOST>I feel he lets the computer do his job. I dropped both classes.
This professor is very organized, the class is easily guided and set up to follow at a nice pace. The labs were amusing!
I took Econ 102 online & it was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken. This was the first C I've ever gotten in my life, & I'm a 4.0+ HS student. Prof. Young does not teach you at all, was unclear about assignments, randomly assigns a ton of hw, & grades harshly. My class started out with 40+ people & ended with 6. Take this class elsewhere!
He teaches about half the material you need if you're lucky, if you need his class then read the book. He changes things in his class going against his own syllabus despite how strict he is for other things. Clearly holds his students to a higher level then himself. The rest is stuff I can't post. If possible, take the course anywhere else.
This professor is just a no. I was skeptical about the reviews students left regarding this professor. So I took him myself . NOPE. Everyone is right. Lectures nothing to do with test or hw . Youre basically teaching yourself, I dropped it . VVC needs to get their stuff together and get more Econ professors.
He def makes you work for your grade! I thought using MyEconLab would be simple, but the workload is intense. There is alot of web browser reqs to function properly. He requires an APA 10-15 pg project due by the end of the semester. Studying is a major key so hopefully other classes are light. Cool prof, but waaay to much to handle during 12+units
Gave him a second chance by taking this class, and was more enjoyable than his econ online class. Super funny and very helpful! Due to COVID19 our class was switched to use WileyPlus which made hw, quizzes and exams a lot easier. I wish lecture was avail face to face because he offers greats tips and notes. Face to face class did require more hw.
Prof. Young is the worst teacher I have taken ever. He did not teach at all. He had no lectures, notes were screenshots of the book adding no additional help, he responded sarcastically to emails and the final is a 15 page paper from work you taught yourself. He does not care for students and making things worse he is the only teacher. DO NOT TAKE!
Professor Young was extremely inaccessible. His instructions were unclear and poorly worded. His powerpoint slides were ineffective, neglecting many key concepts throughout the course. I highly suggest using the textbook as your main medium of learning. However, because this course was online, it is easy to configure to your individual schedule.
You wont know your final grade until it is too late to do anything about. Barely interacted with us throughout the course due to it being online. There is a final research report on a country of your choice however a greater emphasis is placed on proper APA format than on the economic research itself. Personally I would not take again.
Its rather unfortunate that he is the only business professor on campus, he is a nice guy, but his teaching methods are unclear, he uses class time to show us stuff that is in his notes then expects us to understand it immediately.... this was INTRODUCTION TO ECON!!
Mr. Young doesn't word his assignments well and it's hard to get a hold of him. He doesn't give any lectures and just had us read all the material and take a test on it. If I hadn't paid for the textbook I would've dropped the class and taken a different one.
I tried to email him for clarification on a graded assignment. I miss a question and he just said to read the book... it was really disheartened, especially when his "lectures" are so horrible... you really do have to teach yourself.
Truly awful. He hardly responds to emails, his grading system is weighted by two things: discussion and literally everything else which is idiotic. He doesn't teach, never provides feedback and offers little to leniency despite your reasoning. I aced every test, assignment and midterm and I'm at a B-. Truly a lazy, and incompetent professor
literally have never cried more during a class. does not explain well, won't get back to you and when he does he's sarcastic. only bad grade I've ever received in college. hated life.
The absolute worst professor I've encountered at VVC in my years of taking classes. He never responds to emails or takes weeks to respond. I am currently taking his class and it is horrible. Worst grade I have ever received in a class. I'm a math and science major, I usually get an A's, but in this class, I'm not going to. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!
If you have a lot on your plate this is definitely not the class for you. Class consisted of many quizzes, exams, and homework as if that weren't enough there's a 10 page research paper at the end of the course. It is possible to pass the class and get a decent grade without doing the paper but you have to be on top of everything else. Hard class!
Difficult class. Teacher is over his head, a tough grader and wants you to follow his dicussion format and input 5 terms or you won't get any points. Exams are back to back. I had an exam on Nov8, and then the nov9. One very long 10+ page essay on a select country. As well as a marketing plan.
