I took Magarita for His 101 & 102. I loved the classes & recommend her.
Extremely helpful and understanding, yet not a pushover
way to much information to absorb even for a college class expects alot on exams.

I took Ms.Youngo for His 101 & His 102. she is a great professor & she is very helpful she doesnt want anyone to fail. she might not be a conventional teacher but i learned the most from her class than i have all of my college career. u have to go to class to pass her class. Take her if you can.
Sometimes knowledge overload for students but overall a good instructor. Has strong and blinding Catholic visors on, don't get into a religious debate with her, she won't see it any other way. Besides that, I enjoyed her..

If you want a professor who is very overtly biased, non-objective, and somewhat pushy, Ms. Youngo is for you. Try not to have any discussions about science, religion, race, or politics with her if you value a logical debate.
Ok, Youngo is basically a wacko, rants on and on about things that have nothing to do with the subject matter, repeats herself constantly, and has tunnel vision. BUT--she really does know her stuff, and some helpfull advice. Her tests are a super easy: you choose the essay questions the class before, and if you ask, she might let you take it home.
If you enjoy being read to from the textbook and told what to think,then this is your instructor.I am a history major,and I was so frustrated leaving this class that I wanted to scream.She used the classroom as a forum for her own political views.She did NOTHING for my love of history.Independent thinkers beware-this is not the class for you!!!
Youngo can definitely go off in 10 different directions during her lectures, but she keeps it interesting. She knows her stuff pretty well, although she goes rather quickly. Be sure to read the textbook and be able to memorize facts. She loves lots of names, dates, and documents and will grade essays based on how many you've thrown in.
This lady does NOT know what she is teaching... She grades harshly and expects that you know obscure dates and names. Then, she spends 45 minutes of each class about her own political opinions and her Catholic faith. She expects students to have intimate knowledge of the material but, SHE CONFUSED WORLD WAR I WITH WORLD WAR II!!! Run, don't walk...
Forces her opinion on others and is too tough in grading.

too much information which doesn't helpful for tests. Never take the class via online
Ok, I have to agree with most of the recent comments. However, she does have a 6-8 pg research paper at the end of the semester. It taught me some good things bout writing a paper but she was very picky about it.
She is the type of teacher that will push you hard. With me i am not good at history but i passed with a B+. she is a hard grader, but if you go up to her and you show effort she is more than willing to work with you. You cant be lazy!!!! dates and names are a good thing, because the more names and dates you put in the better your grade will be.
Gets off topic easily in class and talks about nothing relating to class for entire periods sometimes. Very confusing and unclear most of the time and often references you to the textbook or online sources rather than explaining it to you herself. Also, very biased.
Im not the best student but as long as you r willing to do the work you will get an A in this class. It is not that difficult, and is you ever have any questions she is really busy but will always find time to return your voicemails and meet with you. I got an A and I knew nothing about History.
Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard and her lessons are completely off base.
A religious fanatic and closed minded politically...
This was my favorite class. She can be very hard, and she will push you, but if you pay attention and read the book you can get an A. She is also very helpful, just ask questions! All exams are essays, and there is one research paper
Great teacher if you are willing to try and do the work she will work with you.Hard class but its possible
Professor Youngo?s lectures consist of rambling, incoherent, and confusing nonsense. In a nutshell, this woman loves to her herself speak and speaks to students in a belittling and condescending manner. I love history, and found this class useless.
I took her self paced on campus course. I got an A she gave me all the tools I needed. She was not very approachable. She did give you everything needed to succeed.
Youngo spends the first 20 minutes of class everyday ranting about her closed-minded politics and religion. She does not know the material outside of what fits into her agenda. Try to avoid her if you can.
If you are into modern day politics and you listen to talk radio, this is your teacher. Every day is the same. Teaches very little history. Her exams are two questions, you write an essay on these blue/green books, 2 to 3 pages, boring. I will put it in simple words. If you like politics, religion and writing research papers she is your instructor.
Grades only on essays, but only gives 1 hour on test days to complete two. Will not give a grade above a B if these are less than 800 words each... During lecture will go off topic and will repeat the exact same lecture from previous class sessions. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
If you need this class to graduate do not take her. She does not teach from book and all tests are essays which are very subjective.
Religious bigot and forces her politics on her students.
horrible teacher. she rambles all through her lecture, and jumps to random time periods. i really have no idea what she is talking about most days, and i asked around and all my classmates are in the same boat.i think it is time to retire...
This teacher was awful! She doesn't actually know much about history and sometimes lies about it. She goes on and on about nothing for an hour of class time, then teaches the same lecture from the previous class. She loves to attack political views she does not agree with and is very offensive. Only way to do well is to say what she wants to hear.
This lady is crazy. Her lectures are very unorganized but if you read the book you should be able to get through this class. She let us use either notes, textbook or note card for exams which helped a lot. Should be an easy A if you are a good writer and can answer her questions clearly.
This course is what you make it. If you are counting on the instructor to make a clear path for you, take another class. The reading material is fantastic and extremely informative. Ms. Youngo has devoted her academic life to the early history of the U.S. and it shows.
Worst instructor I have ever had. She gets into half hour tangents that have nothing to do with the chapter or era we are reading about. Avoid her at all costs. It's a very easy class but you probably won't learn a whole lot. She will read out of the Bible to you any chance she gets. I cannot stress enough to avoid her.
Unclear grading system. Class revolves around instructors personal opinions. Opposing views are discouraged in discussions. Emphasis on how males mistreated women throughout history. Prof's religious & political ideology forced on students. Critical thinking is discouraged. Course work consists of in class rants & A LOT of independent book reading
Don't take her, I usually do well in all my classes but this one is very unclear. It's way to hard for you to get an A in this class. All she cares about is re-stating the book. Lectures are not interesting. You pretty much have to teach yourself by reading the book. Yeah, just don't take her.
Rambles about stuff irrelevant to subject. Much of the semester,she would start lecturing last 10 min of class. 4 Essay Tests.Note cards allowed except for last test...go figure? Tests expected to be long & include lots of details. Very tough grader! Research paper 4-6 pg. Fine as long as you turn drafts in for her to edit. Repeats herself A LOT.
Professor rambles and will present good material to use on the tests about 20% of the time. She requires lots of detail (IE names, places, dates, etc) on the tests and you WILL fail them without those. Lots of self-teaching at home. However, the professor sometimes does allow take home tests in some cases. overall, ok class.
Good lord. Let's start with her voice which just pierces your vains. Wouldn't be bad if she wasn't rambling about who the hell knows. As far as work during class, there is none! All i did the entire semester was other classwork. 4 Tests. 2 Essay ?'s each. She gives every single question and you pick 2. Easy A just spit out dates, people, documents
This instructor models the BEST of college academic preparedness & class presentation. History courses deal with very controversial issues related to religion, politics, and gender. Myopic self-centered students in class irritate others who enjoy the class. For every nasty comment on any teacher there are hundreds of great ones they deserve & get.
Horrible teacher, the worst teacher I have had at Pima. She rambles on for the whole class on personal opinions. She talked a lot about politics when it was not relevant to the class. She is very unclear and I don't know how she still has a job teaching.
Excellent teacher, although hard to understand at first. 4 tests, each 2 questions each which require you to take a stand and support it. It seemed like the only ones that wanted to learn stayed, everyone else got too lazy for the duration of the course. Take this class if you want to learn something.
Ms. Youngo is a very good teacher she very helpful with her students, for test she is very clear about what will be on the tests which are only 4! no hmw at all but at end of semester a reaserch paper is due!
This class was so boring all she does is talk the whole time! she doesn't even teach what we are learning. You have 4 exams and she makes up the questions in front of class the day before the exam. A final research paper is mandatory i'm 100% she doesn't read them as long as it's in the correct format you receive an A. I wouldn't take this course.
While the tests were easy (pick 2 essay qs, allowed a small index card of notes), lectures were difficult to attend as the teacher never stayed on topic. She cared more about Mexico than early US history (the class subject), and spouted off all kinds of false facts, and handed out Obama's birth certificate. Avoid her if your life depends n it!
Worst teacher I've ever had. Her classes are really boring. If you want to learn something that's not the right place to be. Her classes had nothing to do with History. If you want an easy A just sit there and listen nonsense for 1:25
I honestly don't know why everyone is complaining, I think Margarita is excellent. She wants you to learn things on your own but also teaches you at the same time. It's really not that hard to pay attention and take notes. Even if they aren't on the board!
It may seem that this professor talks about nonsense but its helpful and if you write down keypoints for tests your good to go and the Research Paper is MANDATORY but is easy, no complaints
I don't know what everyone is complaining about, yes sometimes she rambles on but everyone does. She CARES about what you learn and really wants you to get what she teachers. She is a huge help with test and if your respectful gives you extra time to complete things. I enjoyed her class, its history. nothing much more to it. -Solana
She is probably the worst teacher I have ever had. She spends the entire lecture talking about things that aren't even relevant to History and about her life. NO ONE CARES. She's not organized and probably makes up everything on the spot. If you want a class where you self learn take this class, but if you want to learn something, AVOID HER!
Not the best history teacher
She falls into the top three worst teachers I have ever had in my entire academic career. I'm not sure why there are any good reviews of her other than her class being a joke and easy A. Besides rambling on about nothing relevant she will present blatantly wrong "facts" to the class and present her opinions as gospel truth. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
The worst teacher I've ever had. Continuously goes off topic. I couldn't tell you ONE thing I learned from this class. I recommend not taking her class. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS.
The professor did not show up prepared for class. She would have no lectures based on the reading which was what the tests are on. There were some interesting discussions during the class but again were not about the subject that you would be tested on. Be prepared to just listen to babble in class and just read your text books.
She did not teach history. She taught how to write history papers. She never gave any homework or classwork. We had 4 test. The test were in class essays on the chapters of the book we were told to read. The day after, she read them out loud and told us how to improve. I learned more about writing than I did in WRT101. Lectures were "a lot" of fun.
Taking this class was something else, especially her lectures. I felt like i had to teach myself US History by reading the book before exams. 4 written exams and a research paper. To pass this class you need to do exactly what she wants in the exams no matter what. Her way or the highway. The book wasn't too bad and I ended up with an A.
This professor did little teaching and spent more time screaming her political views trying to persuade her students that her way is right. We talked about the book for probably 20 minuets every class then she would rant about her political views. Half the time I would leave class early because of the uselessness of her teaching. Done take
I had her for history 101 and hated her at first. Seems to hate men, always is getting off topic and ranting, very loud, and forgets what she teaches. She taught how to write history papers. If they weren't to here exact liking; it would maybe get a B. No matter how good it was. All in all, the class was a challenge.
Weird teacher, at the core she seems like she cares but her way of teaching is more or less telling you what you need to teach yourself. Its basically a history class in the form of writing 101 or 102
So basically she will sit at her desk from beginning to the end of the lecture. most boring teacher will write some notes on board,but is barely legible likes to ramble on random topics No worksheets or notes passed out Graded on 4 exams and an 8 page research paper ONLY Take this class if you want to read the whole textbook
Boring, pointless lectures. Expects everyone to read as if we are going for a masters in history. Good teaching as far as how to write, but horrid other than that. Easy for me but so so tedious, I read maybe 30 pages the whole year but still slid out with a B.
This teacher will not hold your hand through the class. She is old fashioned. She will spell everything out you need to do to get an A. Four exams total, 2 essay questions per exams with one 8 page research paper at the end. She tells you how she wants you to write. Go to class, write in the manner she requests, and you'll get at least a B.
This class is straight history essays. She tells you how she wants your writing exactly. She tells you test questions before the test, then rewords them on test day. Pay attention for the questions in class, prepare them with writing in the style she asked for, and you'll get an A. This class was boring but a free 3 credits at the end of the day.
Teacher isn't prepared for class. Repeats lectures. Puts down the public education system and assumes students are inept freshmen. Doesn't provide a clear grading rubric. Doesn't assign homework/class work. Shares students test responses and grades without permission. Confrontational. Not a conducive learning environment. RUN!!
lol This class was a joke, but an easy B. She allows an index card for her essay quizzes so yay! She lectures are completely random, and are about the people she met and her views. I took it Spring 2016 and all she talked about was elections. A good chunk of class either fell asleep, took 'notes', or played with their phones. Sit in the back.
Youngo freestyles all of her lectures. She has almost no teaching structure, but she tells you how to write and often will give you test questions before the test for a head start. A brutally boring and often times confusing class but theres no way youll get below a B if you give half effort.
Boring lectures very unorganized teacher I dont understand how she's been teaching for so long and has not adapted to the new ways of teaching. Easy class is you just follow her instructions but the class just doesn't feel right, I would have rather taken a difficult class with good teaching lol
Not a good teacher lol but she in all honesty makes the class easy for you by giving you essay questions before the tests. Its an A if you can bare through the confusion of her being
This professor is the worst teacher I have had in any level of school that I've taken. She continuously told us incorrect information and attempted to teach from her memory and do so spontaneously. It took her 3 weeks to even begin to cover history as she spent the first three weeks spewing political nonsense unrelated to the course. Stay away.
She is the worst teacher ever. She doesn't talk about anything pertinent to the class and lectures about her political opinions. It's HORRIBLE. STAY AWAY. A few times she's talked about American history and actually told us the wrong information. A student even corrected her with info from our text and she said the book was wrong... don't take this
Youngo gets distracted easily and talks the whole class period about things that are not class relative. She gives exams but does not prepare you correctly for the exam.
Her class is basically a lecture that turns to random jibberish. She gives out possible test essay questions throughout class. Just write them down, answer them on your own and repeat the process come test day. She is an interesting teacher, because of how terrible her teaching is. Still an easy A.
Old fashioned teacher. Her history 101 class is a writing class in form of a history class, basically. She does not lecture well, yet that is all she does in class. The only reason you should ever go to class is because she gives out test questions throughout class, as some other people have already said. Not a difficult class but still, AVOID.
It feels more like you're in a Student Success class or a Writing class than a History Class. Like everyone isnt a first semester student in there
Show up to class to know whats due. She doesnt use d2l. Follow her instructions exactly and youll get an A. Also she talks and talks about off topic subjects.
I took this class because I was interested in learning about Mex/American history. She is a good teacher, but she's the type that just talks and talks and sometimes gets off topic. Sometimes she's engaging and some days she makes you feel like you should've just stayed home. She basically sits in the chair and talks. The exams are easy if you read.
she talks too much and, I will recommend you not to take this class you will fail.
Youngo doesn't prepare any material for class. She starts out on track but will always get off topic. Her class is about writing history essays. Tests are in the form of two essays, and she will throw out potential test questions during class. This is the only reason to go. Overall not good, but also not hard- the class requires independent effort.
Ms. Youngo will come off with a really strong personality at first but she's actually really funny, you just have to take what she says with a grain of salt. Her class is really easy as long as you read the text book and take notes during class. You have to be on you A game for notes in class because her lectures are 100% verbal.
She just lectures which is fine, but test are confusing, just read the book, try your best, you get a redo for a test you did bad on and you can get a c , you wont fail if you attend everyday and take the exams, try your best!!
Professor Youngo was an interesting instructor. I loved her lecture. Sometimes went off subject but pointed out lots of answers through out her lecture. Made everyone aware of tests. In class exams were great to do. The take home exams were harder for me because it was harder to concentrate. Overall, I liked her as a professor.
Professor Youngo is so funny and her lectures are great. She assigns exam and is an easy grader. You actually learn how to do Chicago style papers which I didn't know how to do. With her I understood how to do that style.
She is a bit old-fashioned but quite a nice professor. Her class has four in-class essays and a research essay. While the way she wants your essays to be is unique to her, she is quite clear about what she wants, and any deviation will result in your grade being crushed. She Lectures without a PowerPoint, and she gets off-topic constantly, though.
Mrs. Youngo's teaching is old school - lots of reading, in-class tests, and a final research paper. She's a great instructor and funny too.
She seems great, but relies on her memory to lecture. Her points are solely based on tests. She makes many comments about today's political environment go the point of telling students how to vote. She also goes on tons of tangents and wastes students time
The worst class I have taken. She is very unprofessional & has no idea what she is doing. She will make personal comments about you in front of the class & project her religious & political views on to you. Doesn't teach & goes on useless rants because she refuses to use notes. The way she formats things is awful. Do not take this class with her!!!
The people who gave her good reviews lied. Save yourself & your money. It's her way & her way only, if you don't follow her regulations you will fail. I genuinely think she hates higher education & will make comments that make you uncomfortable. Too many hand outs, she is just killing trees. Most of what I knew was from high school.
