Ron is hilarious, although his tests are a little hard, it just makes you study all the more.. If you want a class that will make u laugh and enjoy, he is the one.. Very intelligent man and believes in what he teacher.. U ROCK RON!
Ron makes class fun and easy to go to. He prepares you well for tests with review sheets. The music he plays before class is a nice little fun touch only Ron can pull off. I highly suggest Ron Young if you have to take bus101 or bus105.
He should be teaching at Harvard. Better take his classes while you can still afford him. He is fun too!
The music is a fun way to start off, it makes you feel more comfortable. He has all these great stories that make you understand things better. He prepares you well and you learn a lot without meaning too. Only bad thing is he only teaches 2 classes.
ron is a bad ass, his class has been the highlight of my college carrer. you cant find teachers like this at western. do yourself a favor and take his class
Ron makes the class fun. I have learned way more with him than I ever have with western profs. He has real experience that makes for great stories, other teachers just have a teaching degree. BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!
Ron was by far the best prof I've ever had. He has a real interest for what he teaches and he makes it fun to learn. I would take any class that he taught!
Awesome teacher...really good at making lectures fun and interesting. has lots of good stories that made me laugh. don't buy the book if you plan to go to class. i never used it and got an A in the class. Tests are all multiple choice and not terribly difficult either.
He made the lectures fun and interest. He did this by telling his past business stories that pertaind to the subject for that day. Test were faily easy. I wish I did not buy the book, because I hardly used it and still got an A.
He is the best teacher you will ever have. He is so funny and has the best stories. If you take 105 after 101, it is so easy b/c he teaches most of the same stuff. GREAT CLASS
I had him several years ago and have never forgot him. I loved the music before class. He was funny, cute and a great teacher. I am so glad to see that he is still at KVCC. I hope the school realizes what a great asset he is to the school. I sure wish he taught other classes, b/c I would come back to KVCC just to take his class.
DUDE ROCKS THE****
this guy is the best teacher ever
HE IS SO TITE
He made Business interesting to someone who had no interest to begin with. He's just an overall good guy.
very funny guy. explains subject from his life experiences.
Very cool guy, Took 3 classes with him.
Damn.... just damn.
Best business prof I have ever had. Every class is interesting. Life experience is very helpful.
Whether you are a business major or not you will learn some useful information. This guys lectures are great and has hilarious stories. Gives test reviews and goes through answers to those questions the day before test so there's no reason you can't get an A...tests are scantron multiple choice...ps no need to buy the book for this class
great guy its all already been said took him twice you learn a bunch

PEACE AND LOVE!!! Ron you rock out!
An extremely funny, well-rounded man. He plays music before class and always has a great mood. It seems like he's done EVERYTHING and he tells awesome stories from his life to explain topics in class. GREAT CHOICE FOR A TEACHER
BY FAR THE BEST TEACHER AT KVCC!
Great, great, great teacher. The best teacher I have had at Valley. I had him for Bus 101 as well. There is about 5 or 6 tests and one big assignment. You are not punished for absences but going to his classes are fun. If you're not a morning person you will still want to wake up for this class!!
Best prof. ever!!! best ever...do your work you ll be fine!
I had him several years ago-over 15 yrs ago- nice to see that he is still teaching at KVCC b/c he was one of the best and only one of a few teachers that I still remember as being one of the best. Nice on the eyes too. Glad to see that he still plays music before class.
AWESOME teacher!! he is my favorite teacher of all at valley. he tells great stories. some tie into what you are learning. he explains every concept so easy that anyone can pass the class. i highly recomend him.
great teacher
great teacher... studied and reviewed notes just before tests, scored 3.5 overall
Wonderful professor! Keeps it light and funny but hits content hard. Suck eggs and die!
This professor was the reason I changed my major to business. Looked forward to his lectures just to hear his stories. Always well prepared, tests were easy, and the stock market project was a breeze. Definitely recommend!
Professor Young is a great teacher. I highly recommend taking a course that is taught by him. He has hilarious stories that go along with everything. There are 6 grades for the class, all material is covered in class so if you show up and take good notes you should be good. I never even bought a book, I don't think anyone in my class did actually.
Funny guy. He kept the class interested with his many stories but always stayed on task. It was helpful because the book didn't always put things into a real life scenario.
THIS MAN IS AWESOME! PEACE AND LOVE!
Easy to follow. Great stories. Never use textbooks. Pretty easy test.
The guy is straight up hilarious. He just had shoulder surgery the semester I had him and I'll never forget when he said "Ya know, I don't feel like erasing the board. How bout I just write new notes in between the old ones?"
Easy. Hilarious. Great stories.
great teacher
Great teacher. I wish Western Michigan University had him as an employee because I'd be in all his classes.
He is an awesome teacher. He plays rock music at the beginning of each class. He doesn't require the textbook. As long as you show up for every class he gives you the outline of the test in his notes and he also reviews for the test. All his tests are multiple choice. He is a great teacher so that is why I am taking his marketing class also.
Best teacher , easy class you will learn alot !!!!
Great teacher, has more real world experience than anyone you will learn from. Class is worth going to every day, i never missed a class.
Verry Funny
he will rock your world, this i know.
Best teacher of all time, makes you actually want to come to class! Funny stories are guaranteed every day, highly recommended to take it with him!
ron is awsome some of the funniest and interesting stories i have ever heard. this is a profesor i would like to hang out with out side of class he is that entertaining. i never missed a class.
Ron Young is very entertaining,and he does lecture the whole class.He uses real life examples which make it easier to follow.You should take lots of notes,and ask questions if you dont understand something.He will give study guides before test,use them! Also he words things differently on the test which can stump you,so know the small details.
This professor is my all time favorite! I took every class he taught. He is funny, uses great examples, and makes the class time fly. If you want a great learning experience take a class with Mr. Young.
This professor is my all time favorite! I took every class he taught. He is funny, uses great examples, and makes the class time fly. If you want a great learning experience take a class with Mr. Young.
Awsome! One time this dude asked a long rambling question that didn't make any sense, and when he was done talking, Ron got this funny look on his face and he was like "OK, I understood each word individually, but it lacked something as a sentence." Peace and love!!!
Probably one of my favorite teachers ever! He went over everything and used examples that you could relate to.
Totally one of my favorite professors! I highly recomend him!
Still one of my favorite teachers! He's easy to follow, explains things very well, has experience in his field, and he's even entertaining. I looked forward to his class and I would happily take another class with him if I ever get the chance.
My favorite teacher. His class is the only one I actually look forward to going to. I've learned so much since starting to attend his class. His stories are always a hit. Peace and love!
"Well Peace and Love, welcome, thanks for coming!" He says that at the beginning of class. By far the best prof. I've ever had. I look forward to class everytime. He has so much experience in the field. I've learned a ton. He also plays music rly loud at the bigging of class. Amazing amazing amazing."PEACE AND LOVE!"
Mr. Young is awesome! You have to go to his class though because he does not teach out of the book so you need the notes to pass tests! Tests are exactly like tests! He is hilarious and has a story about personal experiences with everything! TAKE HIM!
Great Teacher! Funny, nice and very approachable.
Is a cool teacher. The notes compared to test are a little hard to follow. His stories didn't really help me understand the info, but are fun to hear! He will help if you ask. Will also give you advice about stocks,money, investment etc. if you ask. make sure you pay attention and do the stock market project correctly!
If you have the chance to take any class with him DO IT! He's awesome. Funny guy who tells really interesting stories, unlike other professors. He tells you exactly what is on the tests that come straight from your notes. And you also don't have to waste money on a book. Just write down everything on the board and you'll do great. But choose your group for the marketing project wisely. Big part of grade.
He is the best!!!
This guy is awesome, he makes the 2:45 summer lecture section go by fast. He tells interesting stories that are (somewhat) relevant to what we're learning about. Really nice guy, and his tests are easy. Don't need a textbook for the class, all the info you need to know he writes on the board. Would definitely recommend him.
Ron is an awesome teacher! I took bus 101 and 105 with him and LOVED them both! You don't need a text book for eaither class!
He is a very good teacher. His notes are very consise which makes it easy to study for the test.
In response to the comment below, I was in the class while he told this story and he was not saying anything bad about women at all! He was simply telling us that when doing a company outing, it's a bad idea to do camping trips because relationships between co-employees could happen, causing future problems. It was not intended for ANYTHING bad aga
*not intended for ANYTHING bad against women at all! Mr. Young is by far the best teacher I have ever had and his stories in class make the class extremely enjoyable and I never have felt that they were derogatory what-so-ever.
Technically great teacher- perfect notes and easy class. However, he has questionable "moral" value. Although he is "joking", when he makes **** jokes ("women shouldn't have the right to vote") and passes out extremely Republican biased articles (and gives test questions on them!!), one begins to believe that there is a bit of truth in jokes...
I took Ron for Bus 101 and 105. I wish he taught all my classes. He tells stories about the content that actually help you to remember. He is hilarious, to the people that dont think his jokes are in good taste, Welcome to the real world, your going to have to learn to tolerate people with a different POV, Get over it. High school is over!
BEST teacher I have ever had. If you come to class and take good notes you will get an A in his class. He has a ton of experience in the Business feild and has hilarious real world stories to keep your interest. To anyone who takes offense to some of these stories...really? Take a joke! It keeps things interesting. Best teacher ever!
Best instructor I have had at KVCC. Helpful in class and during his office hours as well. This man is obviously teaching because he loves it and he is very good at it. Can't wait to take another class with him. His caring and helpfulness made all the difference for me during this semester!
Mr. Young is awesome, by far this is my favorite instructor!!! Come to class and enjoy! I feel like I'm at a comedy show some days. His stories are hilarious. Take good notes and you'll get an easy A. "Peace and Love"
Young is without a doubt my favorite professor. The guy knows his material inside and out, and though he does not require a textbook it is evident that he is unbelievably well read on his subject. The stories are hilarious, and relevant. Anyone who does poorly in his class does so on purpose, because he gives us all the tools wee need to succeed.
Best Instructor I have had at KVCC. Great stories during class to keep you interested.
Absolute favorite! I took his class during the summer (8 weeks) which were 2 1/2 hour lectures twice a week. Surprisingly, that time felt like barely over 1 hour because of his funny stories, and humor in general. Class of 100ish had avg test scores of about 80% but I found no trouble getting 96% on each. Ron Young is by far my favorite prof
Ron Young is an amazing teacher with funny stories. Has Much experience in the Business field, having owned several businesses. I had him for BUS 101 and BUS 105 Marketing. The only bad thing I would have to say is that he doesn't teach enough classes. Almost want to take his classes again because they are so fun!
This guy is both inspiring and encouraging. If you just make sure that you are at every class that you can possibly get to for lecture (and actually put your own effort into it), you will do very well in this course. He keeps a potentially very dry topic light and entertaining. I wish I could retake this course just for the fun of it.
Interesting guy and class. Has a right wing political stance to be prepared for. Just sit back and take it though, argue it in any way and he'll make you look dumb by just being condescending and sarcastic.
Ron knows what he's talking about because he's been in the business world. I thought he was easy to learn from because he told great stories that related to the subject matter. And he's really funny :]
I LOVE HIMM! HE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER AND I WOULD MARRY HIM IF GIVEN THE CHANCE. SOO CUTE. BIG CRUSH. GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR, MAKES YOU LAUGH ALL THE TIME VERY FUNNY. AND CUTEEE!AND ADORABLE. AND A SWEETHEART.
Love the class but he uses the word squillions way to much. hehe.
Great teacher who knows what he is talking about, Just make sure you go to lectures and you will be fine.
Ron is an awesome prof.! He gives you an example/story for every term he gives you and they are always funny and useful! He is hilarious and made business fun and exciting!
Wonderful professor. Seriously, the best I have ever had. Loved going to class and learned so much! He's really great, actually make yourself known to him ( and not in a bad way,) and he do all he can to help.
All he bases the whole class oon lecture and the tests are all scantron. He teels staoires and gives some good notes. But if you don't study and reserch your notes you wont do very well.
Very good. Everything you need to write down is on the board, and if you don't understand something he is willing to explain it to you in a way that works for you. His stories are always on topic, and don't drag on.
Ron is a celebrity. I highly doubt there are teachers who are as high on the awesome meter as he is at KVCC. He very well could teach at an ivy league school. EVERYTHING he says comes from experience. He disagrees and even mocks the book in alot of respects. His jokes and stories are insanely funny too! Just dont miss a single class. No, not one!
Ron is a great a great instructor. You need to go to each class, pay attention and take notes. Then study the notes and you will do great! :) He has a lot of experience and awesome stories.
Great Professor, very funny, has real world experience that he relates every example to. Would definitely recommend.
Great professor. Probably the best professor at Valley. One of the greatest business professors in the country. Great business stories and the kind of personality that makes you excited to be in class. Don't take anyone else for Business or you're missing out
Mr. Young is awesome! Go to class and take good notes and you will do great!! He gives real life examples and it really helps remember the content.
Great instructor, definitely passionate about teaching and business. Explains very well, take good notes from what he writes on the board and you'll do fine. Tests are multiple choice, and there is 1 project for outside of class which you have 8+ weeks to finish. Great experience.
Writes notes on board, write down exactly what he does! They are word for word on the test. Go to the review sessions, as he tells you exactly what will be on the test. Attend class and pay attention, and you will be fine. Great teacher, absolutely hilarious!
tell you whats on test very easy
Awesome teacher learned a lot .
Such a good teacher, easy to remember the material
He's a great professor. Everything he writes on the board you need to write down.
Make sure you write down everything on the board. Also Make sure you sit right up front and not way back in the "cheap seats." Very funny guy and very sarcastic too. Love his class!
One of the best teachers I have ever had and makes everything easy to remember. I don't normally have an easy time remembering the material and he makes the class very fun and interesting.
BEST FREAKIN TEACHER EVER.!
If you're the type of person who sits in the "cheap seats" and texts during class, he'll put you on the spot and call you out. He doesn't like it when students goof off like that during his lectures.
Helpful,concise, knows his subject and translates his experience into useful anecdotes. Best instructor I've had.
My favorite teacher so far in my first year of classes. Very funny guy, and is very experienced in the field of business and can use personal experience to help explain everything you will learn weather its bus 101 or marketing.Be aware though,if your going into his marketing class make sure you studt becasue the tests are harder than thought
Ron is the best! Very funny,plays music before and after class.Always has a great story of his experiences to keep you interested. Always does a good review before each test. No homework (except the stock market project). Yo feel like giving a round of applause after each class. HIGHLY recommend!Best teacher ever.Don't buy the book.
Great prof! Teaches out of life experience and not the book, in fact, you don't even need the book. His class was one I actually looked forward to because of his stories. He is conservative politically and has a great sense of humor.
Ron Young is one of the best professors I have ever had the privlage of having. I looked forward to his class every day and I even learned a thing or two on how to make money in the stock market. And in his famous words... peace and love, that's a rap
Great teacher. Best I've ever had. Great stories that relate, covers all of the information on the test. Never uses books, even tells you to return them on the first day. Highly Recommended.
Take BUS 101 with Ron. Great teacher!
BEST BUSINESS TEACHER EVER!Didn't have to buy a textbook, tests were based off notes in class. Go to class and study and you will get a good grade. Very helpful teacher, applies everything he teaches to real life.
I have no interest in business, but Ron made it the most enjoyable class I've had at KVCC. He's truly brilliant. Has amazing stories to tell. Don't buy the book, he will tell you to return it. Class revolves entirely around exams. I'll take anything he teaches.
BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. He will give a fact and then give a story making everything so easy to learn. Tests are to the point, doesn't try to trick you. You will always want to come to class because he is such a great guy to listen to. I will take ANYTHING he teaches. Such a great man.
Ron is an absolute wizard at teaching business. I would attend his lectures in my own spare time if I could. Do not take this class with anyone else. No book used, which saves a lot of money. Just sit in the lectures, take notes, use said notes to study for the tests, and don't wait until the end to do the stock market project.
He is my FAVORITE teacher! I love him, he makes everything so easy to understand and fun to learn! I'm taking him again next semester for Principles of Marketing. Definitely recommend!
I took BUS 101 last year with Mr. Young and so far was one of the best classes I've had so far. Next semester I am taking BUS 105 with him as my professor I can't wait to take his class!
Would recommend him to anyone. Amazing teacher who keeps you interested in whatever he is teaching.
Easy class, funny teacher. Could go without the misogynist remarks and the constant need to inject his personal political stance, but I got an A. Take all the notes, go to every class. The stock market project is easy if you take the time to write your descriptions.
I took Ron Young for Intro to Business as well as Marketing. Ron was my first Jr. college professor and I have to say he is by far the funniest teacher through out all of my years of schooling. Work is easy if done right and by his request. I strongly recommend taking any of Ron's Courses!
I changed my major to marketing after this class. He doesn't give you anything but if you do the work he will give you the grade you earned and he does not penalize you on small issues like some teachers. He uses music too. i loved the class and it was my first. I was returning to college after being gone for a number of years.
This guy is the best teacher I have ever had. He is hilarious, plays music all the time, and has awesome stories that actually relate to the class(usually)
Without a doubt the greatest prof I have had yet. He is hilarious, tells great stories, makes jokes about everything (and everyone), and doesn't mind if you gotta leave during class. If you listen well and take notes during his class there is no need for the textbook, he says so himself. TAKE AS MANY CLASSES WITH HIM AS POSSIBLE!
great prof super fun, very clear. Knows his stuff
No way Walman should score higher than Young. No damn way.
Hilarious professor! Not a difiicult class. He has alot of real world experience and is an amazing lecturer. That class is awesome! Its a hour and half class and doesnt feel like. Lots of amazing stories. Plays music at the beginning of class which always puts you in the right mood! TAKE HIM if you have the chance. He makes the class enjoyable
Great guy. class is usually pretty interesting. He will call on random students though so prepare for class. He makes a lot of jokes. Don't get caught on your cell phone or you will be pointed out. Don't buy the book, just go to class.
Ron is one of the best instructors--easily--at KVCC. Gives you exactly what you need to pass the test, tells great stories, has loads of experience, and makes the long lecture fun! 4 tests and a project. Study a little for the test, and pay attention during lecture and this class is an easy A. I took him for Bus 101 and Bus 105. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
This was a really good class. It's completely lecture based, but the good news is you don't have to buy a book. He's really funny and gives a lot of good examples from his own personal experiences. He tends to ramble a bit, but don't ever let him catch you with a phone or he will publicly humiliate you. Really good class thou, & a great prof!
I really liked Mr. Young I felt like his lectures where too much for me, but his stories where great. He originally told the class to take back our book and then for some reason would refer to it which was annoying. You have one major assignment all you have to do is follow the directions. If you miss something you'll lose a bunch of points.
Took Ron's Bus 101 and 105 classes and really enjoyed them. His lectures and his tests are always well organized and clear, making taking the class and studying for the tests enjoyable and really straightforward. Just a heads up about the group project in 105 - pick your group wisely, because if you don't, it makes for a very stressful semester.
Loved him! Some days the lectures were long, but he was a great guy and an awesome professor. If you study for the tests you should be fine, but the test are hard at some points. Loved this class though and plan on taking having his as professor again.

Ron Young is hilarious. He's the kind of Professor everyone wants to have. On the first day of his class I thought he was going to be bad and mean (the way he looks), but he is the most hilarious teacher I've ever had.
Great overall teacher. has everything you could as for in a teacher. Made me actually want to show up to class.
The most important professor any business student at KVCC will have, and the most influential one that I've had in almost 6 years of college. The real life knowledge he has is astounding, and he conveys it well and makes it fun! Definitely a must take, even if you aren't a business student!
Expect hilarious stories at every class. Ronald is truly one of the smartest business man I have ever met. My writing hand was tired after every lecture because everything he writes down on his board will most likely end up on the tests. One last piece of advice.. when he hands you the stock market project... Start It.
My only complaint is that the conservative way is the only way with him. I have mixed opinions of both political parties, but he is a hard nosed conservative. Do not buy the book, just show up and study your notes. Start the stock market project when given to you and you will do fine.
Hard stock project. Loud music in class long lectures
Exceptionally knowledgeable about the subject. Teaches from his extensive experience as an entrepreneur and business man rather than from the book. (He suggests returning it if you purchased it.) Pay attention to his lectures, take good notes and you should have no problem passing his class. Start on the stock project as soon as you receive it.
Very cool. Best professor I have had so far. Very knowledgeable about the subject with a ton of life experiences to go with it.
This is a phenomenal teacher. I genuinely looked forward to class every day.
The world would be a better place if everyone assimilated a mere fraction of Ron Young's teaching.
If you rated, or you plan to rate Ron Young poorly, you must have been a terrible student who skips class and hardly, if it all, studied for the exams. Ron Young for president 2020!
Ron Young is hilarious and he cares about his students. He'll tell you at the beginning of class that if you pay attention and take notes you'll pass the tests. You'll think its bs. Try it. It works. I bombed the first test in his class but after I actually studied and took notes? A+, baby!
Great teacher with a wealth of business experience that he will frequently share in class. Been teaching forever too so he really knows what he's doing and how best to do it. This class was my favorite this semester and some of the stories from his lectures really help to emphasize what to do and what not to do in business as well as help you learn
Took every class I could with him. Highly recommend
Ronald Young is truly an amazing teacher he has many years of business experience so he know his stuff. From the beginning he tells you you don't need the book but you need to come to the lectures or you want pass, this is very true. He tells it like it is and he doesn't take BS, I highly recommend to anyone except a raging liberal.
Has been in Business most of his life and knows what he's talking about. His lessons are well-planned. Writes down on the board what will be on the test, so take notes and you'll pass the tests easily. Fills the lectures with stories from his life that relate to each point he makes. Always interesting and funny stories.
Fantastic! Very interesting guy, very wealthy, successful guy. Changing my major to nursing, originally in Business. It's a great class. Learn a ton. Super easy. Test are easy. normally lets you out 20 minutes early. Has a great sense of humor and taste in music. Classes are big, Start marketing project ASAP and send in for suggestions! HELPFUL.
Not enough can be said about this guy. He's truly one of the best teachers around. He knows how the majority of people learn and he really helps. He'll tell you funny and very educational stories. I learned so much of what to do and what not to do just by listening to his stories and examples. GREAT teacher!
He was funny and enthusiastic and had real world examples.
Ron Young is a unique professor. He is a retired business owner and has owned multiple very successful businesses that he shares examples about very often. He is a wealthy man that loves to talk about business and his experiences. Attendance is not mandatory but you do take notes everyday. Exams are easy and study guides are given. Take him
Prof. Young is fantastic! Don't bother taking anyone else for Bus101. He tells great stories with his lectures and makes his material easy to apply. If you come to class, pay attention, and take some notes, you should have absolutely no problem passing. Don't wait to do your Stock Market Project though. It's easy to do work on with ample time.
Ron Young was my first Business professor and one of the few professors that stood out to me through my four years of Undergrad. I'm a senior in college and took Ron Young as a Freshman before transferring to a University. His real life business examples and sense of humor are a perfect mix. If your not taking any of his courses your missing out.
Professor Young is one of the best professors I've had at KVCC so far. He's really kind and he's super helpful. The class is an easy A as long as you follow his lectures. Showing up to class isn't mandatory but if you don't show up you probably won't do well since he doesn't do much out of the book. His stories are hilarious too!
Another one of the best Professors in Kalamazoo. Blows the "ego" professors of WMU out-of-the-water. Attend class and take notes (which is a far better way to learn that watching a power-point lecture) and you'll do fine. His lectures are a nice balance of material and personal stories. His experience is unmatched and hes a great guy to talk too.
Ron Young is very knowledgable and tells a lot of stories form personal experience. His lectures are entertaining and if you show up and pay attention you will pass. Definitely my favorite professor.
Very fun land engaging lectures. Tests might be difficult if you don't take good notes and/or study. If you apply yourself you should easily do quite well.
Best professor at KVCC. Keeps your attention the whole time with good stories that relate to the material. I've learned a lot from him and would take any class he teaches.
Learned a lot, easy class, highly recommend!
He was sometimes hard to follow
He tells a story with every lecture and is good at keeping you interested. Loved him
Ron is probably the most qualified business professor Ive had so far. He has been in many different aspects of business, so he has great knowledge of what hes teaching. There is minimal homework, but theres a stock market project that is pretty easy if you dont wait until the last minute. Ill be taking another one of his classes next term.
Mr. Young is an amazing teacher. He is very qualified and experienced in the business area and always relates class material to the real world. He is also very blunt and tells things as they are, which is a quality rarely found in college professors. Tests are easy and are all based on class lectures, so make sure to attend.
He's a great teacher. He loves to tell stories which illustrate business concepts. Just make sure to take good notes, start the stock project early, and prepare well for the tests. He has very strong political views, but as long as you can live with that, then I would highly recommend him.
Much of the marketing class will be review from 101. He tells the best stories from his experiences that apply to the material. There is a group project which lasts all semester, but his grading is incredibly fair (coming from someone who did the majority of the work) and you rate your group members at the end of the project. Great prof!!!
Ron Young is one of my favorite teachers of all time! He was always very lively and funny. He also has stories to go along with each topic he teaches us, which make it very memorable! Easy class. Learned a lot.
Mr. Young is an amazing professor. He knows what he's talking about, tells great stories, and is very caring about his students if you talk to him. As long as you take notes, it's an easy A.
Ron is the best! Great, wise teacher!
Ron is really knowledgeable about all things business. I took him for BUS 101 & 105 & both were great. He has the class structured really nicely & always prepares you for tests with an in-depth review. There's a group project that wasn't my favorite, but in business you have to learn how to work with others. Don't take this class with anyone else!
I took his class 5 years ago, and I'm still learning things from the lectures I remember. This man is so very knowledgeable about business, and this is shown through his engaging (and hilarious!) anecdotes. He taught me how to be a leader, how to shave, how to succeed in school, and how to make it in the "real world." Don't miss out.
Ronald Young is an amazing professor and highly recommend taking his classes. I had him for BUS101 and Marketing, and he was excellent in teaching both. The tests are all taken from the notes, but showing up is required otherwise you won't pass. He's interesting, and his lectures never get boring.
Ron Young is an amazing guy and the best professor I've ever had.
Ron is the best professor that Kalamazoo Valley has to offer. He is so knowledgeable of all aspects of business. He tells stories all throughout class of his life experiences and they are hilarious and actually help you remember and understand the content. I am in another one of his classes and I am so thankful I took him again! TAKE HIS CLASS!!
Ronald Young is a great professor. He is there to help you pass. Always invites you to ask questions about anything you dont understand. Theres a end of the semester project that you start about 9 weeks before its due. And hes always willing to provide feedback for any part as the semester goes on. He wants everyone to love his class.
Ron Young is so inspiring. He makes class so fun. There won't be a class where you don't laugh. 10/10
Words don't describe how amazing of a professor Ron is. Uses great examples to engage the students. No textbook, take notes from the lecture. Study guides provided the class before the test. Grade is dependent on 5 tests, marketing project/stock market project, and the final. Great classes, even better professor to teach it. THANK YOU RON!
BEST PROF EVER. Even after I transferred to Western, Ron is still my favorite instructor. Hes drop-dead hilarious, tells tons of topic-related, personal stories, and you can tell he really knows his stuff. Take him over anyone else in BUS department!!!
The best teacher i've had in 18 years of schooling
Awesome guy
Half the time he did not really talk about the material we needed to know and mainly just told useless stories. Plus he was also very condescending and rude.
100% would recommend Professor Young, even if you aren't a business major. He teaches from personal experience, thus no textbook needed. This course can set the stage for your business career and those going into other fields are prepared for the workforce.
I took BUS101 and 105 my second year of college with Ron and he is still my favorite-ever professor, and Im a senior at WMU now!! I still remember his hilarious stories, his amazing way of answering students questions, and how he is obviously VERY successful and business-savvy. Take his classes and ask lots of questions!!
Ron is conservative (refreshing perspective in college), funny, and to the point, tests are easy if you just listen to the lectures, and the stock market project is somewhat time intensive but easy material. I wish I could take him for every other business class. Did I mention he has a TON of real world business experience?
One of my favorite professors! If you get the chance to take one of youngs class do it!! Graded on few things but if you pay attention in class you will do just fine!
Ron Young is a legend around these parts. He is hilarious, has experience, and genuinely cares about a student's success. I didn't even have to buy a textbook so that was a huge plus! Tests and quizzes aren't that worrisome and he covers most of it on review days. That's a wrap!
Ronald Young really is a once in a lifetime professor. From his hilarious anecdotes to clear lectures and grading criteria, you can't go wrong choosing him as your instructor. After BUS 101 with him, I rearranged my next semester schedule entirely just so I could take BUS 105 with him and changed my major... You're a fool not to take his class.
Ron is probably the best professor I have ever had. You have to show up and take good notes but he will clearly explain everything you need to know with plenty of detail. He is funny and a good instructor. College would be more enjoyable if more professors were like him.
Ron is incredible. After I had him for BUS100 I changed my ENTIRE schedule so I could have him in BUS105, both a 98%. Your grade is based on large, semester long projects, and tests. He takes attendance. Anything on the board is something you need to know unless he says otherwise, so write it down! Understanding, fun, knowledgeable professor.
