Dr. Young is an amazing professor. I have him every Monday and Wednesday at 8am, and he couldn't be more upbeat. It makes me enjoy chemistry.

He is awesome I can't wait to have him for Organic

He makes great lecture notes.

great prof.. too bad he's gone.. great notes, makes orgo a breeze

Dr. Young is a very good teacher and he is very helpful...there is a lot of xtra credit in his class he doesnt like to fail people!!!:)

great professsor, just wish i understood the stuff, hopefully i pass the class.lol

Pretty good teacher-I really like his son though

Dr. Young is an excellent professor. I wish I hadn't blown off his class on occasion. Unfortunately, he needs to select a better T.A. (Tim Hall) but overall he cares about his job and he is very personable!

Take his class! It is not hard at all!If you do all of the extra credit(and there is lots of it), getting a solid "B" is no problem. You might have to work a bit harder for an "A". (DO the Practice Test/Chapter Review before the exams- it helps). I don't see HOW people could fail the course!!!

He Is a Great Professor! He explains everything clearly (most of it). He gives Tons of Extra Credit, with all the extra credit, I ended up getting an A :)

he is a very easy prof. don't even need to read the book, not once, just need to study from his lectures for exams. i recommend him, he is a great prof. his exams are easy because you have more than enough time for his multiple choice exams usually only 20 questions are on them.

who ever rates prof. young with a 1 must be mistaking him for the other prof. young. and if they are rating this one they are nuts. prof. young is an awsome teacher with excellent notes.

Yes his lectures are pointless, but he is helpful if you would go to his office hrs, hes really nice. His test are not that impossible, if you read and know your material, there is enough time for the test/quiz. You should get a C or higher if you study hard enough.

Sure, his lectures aren't that good, but the curve gave me an A when I should have rightfully gotten a C in that class.

Can go off on tangents during lectures, but he's a helpful guy one on one...

I dont understand why everyone thinks he sucks? I took Paul Robert Young and got an A. I thought his tests were okay, they werent extremely bad. The final was the MCAT and that was fairly difficult but if you go over the weekly worksheets he gives you and the quizzes, then you will do ok. The quizzes are easy but hard to finish in 20 minutes.

There are two professor with the same name, look at there e-mail adress. The one with the e-mail: [email protected] is the easy one. and the one with the e-mail: [email protected] is the hard one. The hard one tries to teach but he gets off topic a lot. The easy one teacher well and he make funny jokes sometimes, but the class never seemed to laugh!!

good teacher

There are two Paul Youngs at UIC. The one that teaches 101 is an awesome teacher he also teaches 112 sometimes. The way to know which Paul Young you have is that the easy teacher only teaches morning classes. So if you signed up for an afternoon class with Paul Young then you have the alleged hard teacher.

He is great. Curves a lot!

The confusion continues. There are 2 Paul Robert Young's teaching chem here. This one's email is [email protected], he's semi retired. AWESOME prof, great lecture notes posted online, quizzes online you can repeat as many times as you want, multiple choice exams, ton of bonus points. Get over 90%, automatic A and you don't need to take the final exam.

This teacher is really nice and really easy. I don't know why half the class kept on failing the exams because they were super easy and were nearly the exact same problems on the review. Don't try too hard on the labs because the TAs will just fail you either way. Look over the reviews for the test and you should get do well. 90% avg=A= no final

Great guy. He seems like he really cares about his students. He also tries to liven up his lectures with a bit of cheesy humor. If you don't go to class, it's possible to fall behind, but the class isn't too terribly difficult so it's easy to catch up. Just do the labs and study for the exams and you can expect to do well in the class.

Chem 112 with prof. Young ws very easy, you still have to study for the exams and stuff but he gives review questions and quizzes and the exams reflect the quiz/review questions. He gave online quizzes and the exams were multiple choice. If you do the assignments and stuff it's not hard to pass this class.

professor is alright and willing to help. although you might need to study more on your own. the class isn't too bad

Paul R. Young is a goot prof, his exams were pretty good. he is willing to help u. He is also give extra credit randomly about every week wich really help.

He's a great professor and easy to understand. He goes over several examples in class. I didn't even read the book and I'm doing real well. His tests are fair and if you show up to lecture and read his slides over, you'll do well!

Overall a fairly easy professor, gives a lot less OWL work then other professors from what I've heard and tons of random extra credit. Doesn't seem to really care about the class and just lectures through slides. Good preparation for his tests which are all multiple choice, but I'm not sure if he is good to take depending on your future chem course

his lectures are easy to understand.give very little owl homework.his test are something else...theyre multiple choice and too long!avg was about 50(the lowest he'd seen)but its because he makes the long!and theyre tricky!but he gives tons of extra credit so i guess it balances out

Professor Young is very helpful, nice, and puts everything on blackboard. You can get an A if you do the labs, go to lecture, and study before exams. There is a fair amount of extra credit, and a good curve at the end, so don't be so concerned about your initial scores.

I really liked Young. Sure his lectures were kinda boring at times, but he did he did a very good job explaining the topics. The only downside was that the tests were nothing like the practice exams. Go to lecture, do the extra credit, and study and anyone can pass Young's class.

horrible teacher!!! he has no enthusiasm for his classes and try sending him an email and see if he ever replies back. If it wasnt for my TA john penczak i would have never passed the class seriously. form groups with this professor otherwise you will fail and be on your own. You and your friends can all take the quizzes together and try to figure

His Chemistry 101 class was relatively hard. I didn't benefit from the lectures, so instead I just read the whole book. He is also the kind of professor that gives a nice amount of extra credit. I worked very hard and at the end, I was two final exam questions shy of an A. His exams are also insane (some questions unrelated to lectures). Fun class.

This guy is a good teacher for introductory chemistry....All you have to do in his class to get an A is read and memorize his powerpoints.....his exams are multiple choice so it shouldn't be that hard....I was kind of lazy and still got a B in the class

I think he's a good teacher. He usually gives a clear understanding of what will be on exams and the final consists of previous exam questions as well as problems from lecture slides. Everyone says stuff about TA's you can't understand, but I could understand everything and he was very helpful. I also suggest reading the book...I got an 85

He's better than most of the other chem teachers, take him

Probably the easiest chem professors. His lectures are clear and very organized. I barely opened my book but ALEKS was a lot of working. His exams are pretty much multiple choice and he gives out a lot of extra credit. He also gives you a chance to get exempt from the final if you have an A.

good teacher!

professor young gave me an a but i worked for it! he never responds to emails, aleks is a pain, but hes very straightforward go over his reviews and just understand the material, NO LAB WORK you shouldnt get anything lower than a B...if you try that is

Its a good class, just study, and he gives a lot of EC, so just keep up with the easy points and you should be fine.

young's class is easy and he gives extra credit but his exam reviews are nothing like the actual exams, there is very little lab work but there are lab quizzes every week. he never, or takes an extremely long time, to answer emails and he puts all lectures up on blackboard so attendance isn't mandatory

Wonderful professor, I wish he taught all levels of Chemistry. Make sure you print out the slides for lecture and take down notes, the class normally goes by quickly and he often makes jokes. He's a very kind man and hints in lecture what will be on the test. Also, for exam 2 & 3 you get to bring a notecard! Drops lowest test grade as well. Amazing

Young is the best 112 teacher at uic! he is really clear and he includes jokes and such in his lectures to keep things interesting. He doesn't curve but he gives a ton of extra credit. oh and he cancels class all the time on fridays!

Nice and understanding man. Offers lots of extra credit and gives the option to not take the Final if you already have a 90% in the class. Aleks is VERY time consuming but helpful. Weekly online quizes that are easy to pass using Yahoo Answers. Posts lectures with audio online, so attendance is not needed.

Not that bad if you pay attention and study, but tests are kinda hard.

He records everything, and everything is online. If you miss lecture, you can watch it on blackboard.

He is a really good professor. He has great lecture notes and gives lots of extra credit.

He is a good teacher and the class is set up for you to past. Everything is online and "googlable."

This professor is confident and knows what he is doing. Some of his tests are hard and his TA's are not helpful at all.

He's direct when asked a ?. He explains the details in his lectures and expects you to pay attention. The chapters at the end of the book SAVED MY LIFE. I did most of them to completion and ended up getting all of them right on my test. Sense of humor may be dry, but it passes the time. He's generous when it comes to extra credit. Do it!!

Easiest Chem 112 teacher at UIC. Tests are multiple choice, unlike the other chem 112 teachers who give exams in the format of short answer/show work questions.

He is an awesome teacher. His notes are SUPER clear and there are practice problems. He gives extra credit and his quizzes are based on the extra credit. He also gives sample exams before the exam which are very close to what is on the exams. If you get a 90% or above you do not have to take the final. You should 100% take this professor. The BEST!

Easiest class of the semester. If you get a 90 percent or above you dont have to take the final, which is AWESOME! I probably went to 5 lectures tops. I studied off the book and got pretty good test scores, well i got exempted from the final. Hes not boring but his lectures always make me sleep, hence i never go. but easy class overall.

He's pretty straightforward w/ lectures & everything's in the book. A lot of his stuff are online but I recommend getting the book. His quizzes are easy& all on BB but exams are not as easy as the sample exams - make sure you know the chapters. He doesn't take attendance at lectures bt your TA may take attendance in dsc - make sure you go to them.

Professor Young is an easy teacher in the sense that it's easy to get an A in his class. His first exam was easy, but the second and third exams were hard and I actually studied a lot. There are no lab reports. Extra credit raises your grade a lot. Exam content of the 2nd/3rd exams are way different from lectures and are similar to book problems.

I wouldn't say this is an easy A like others are saying you have to really study. Many ppl get confident b/c the 1st exam is always easy then the other 2 are hard causing them 2 drop the course b/c they failed the other 2 exams. i got an A but it came from studying long hours and constantly going to my TA for help. ps YAOMING is the best TA ever.

A professor that gives you 3 extra-credit assignments that add extra points to your midterm and quiz scores? I haven't found an easiest professor at UIC than Young. Can't say much about his teaching 'cause I missed a lot of his lectures, I basically learned by myself. But those extra-credit assignments helped me to get exempted from the final.

Will send help your way if needed. Great Extra Credit assignments online were very helpful and best of all he gave me a med school recommendation letter that helped me get into one of the best schools in the city

Great professor! He wrote the textbook and all of the powerpoints for the lectures are in it but you could easily bring your laptop and follow along. Little to no homework. He is very clear. The tutorials look exactly like his quizzes and he offers practice exams for the exams that you can do an unlimited number of times.

Although the material is difficult, he explains everything. He sometimes rushes through the slides but you have the book to follow at your own pace. Not many hw assignments and he gives extra credit too. He drops the lowest test grade and quiz grade and if you pass with an A, you do not need to take the final. You don't attend class on quiz days :)

He is a great proffesor! I would recommend him to anyone! His powerpoint lectures are clear and they're all in the text book! He's a very knowledgable man and knows what he's talking about. It shouldn't be that hard to pass his class. Just attend every lecture and DO the tutorials online! They really help refreshen your skills.

Professor Young was my favorite professor. Very clear and helpful. His power points were extremely helpful. His class was not super hard, but you should study. He gave a lot of extra credit so anything other than an A/B is probably your fault. Highly recommended!

It's funny how during exam days the lecture hall is packed but on regular lecture hours maybe 20 people show up..I guarantee those 20 people got an A or B.. and the bad comments are from people who didn't go, or went but talked in the back the whole time. Class based on pts and not % so that's amazing and 40 pts E.C. available which helps TONS.

Young is probably the most requested UIC chemistry professor. His lectures and the way he runs the class never changes. I was lucky enough to have him for Chem101 and Chem112. I did good in both. He gives tons of extra credit. He'll even re-open hw assignments if you forget to do one or if you want to try for a higher grade. Loved him.
