Reviews of professor James York

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Worst professor Ive ever taken, a very nice guy but terrible instructor. Mumbles, and speaks very fast. Hard to grasp concepts that way especially in calc. Even with his curve grading many struggled to obtain better than a B. Gives tons of hw, problems on the quiz and test are much more complex than those he reviews and gives. Cumulative final.

AWFUL! Difficult to understand. Talks fast. Kids running around screaming in background. Teaches class like a review. Difficult problem sets for quizes and tests. Two weeks left of class and he is months behind on grading. Makes students help him solve the lesson examples, they are often confused which leads to a bad lesson. Avoid at all costs!!!!!

Professor York has to be one of the worst professors I've had. While we had online classes, he was a tough grader and didn't show his work clearly, which made everything harder to understand as he blew through the lessons. He never answers emails no matter how many you send, so don't expect him to actually respond unless its by passenger pigeon.

I've never had a professor that didn't use blackboard or their email. Class is basically just review time as you're expected to learn the content on your own. Probably the worst professor I've ever had

DONT TAKE! Worst teacher I've ever had. Is so hard to understand because he mumbles and rushes through things. Doesn't listen nor understand when you'r confused. My whole entire class was confused and he ignored us and told us to show up to his office hours if we didn't understand. He goes through chapters super fast and quizzes and test are hard.

AVOID AT ALL COST. He is one of the hardest and worst professors I have every had in my life. He does a terrible job explaining things, goes over super easy problems in class then asks the hardest questions on tests. gives very little partial credit. One time he could figure out the mic for online so just skipped the lesson. grades very late.

The worst professor I've ever had. Do NOT take his class!! This class was a GenEd and it was my hardest class. York doesn't answer emails, he blows through lessons as if they are review sessions and you should already know the info. Worst of all, he is incredibly condescending, if you ask a question he will make you feel like an idiot. Awful grader

One of the worst professors I've ever taken at Cortland. You can't hear him when he lectures because he mumbles and I've never seen him move from his chair once the whole semester. He gives you the information and then expects you to automatically know what you're doing. When I asked him for help he said "get a professional tutor". Avoid him!!!!!!
