Reviews of professor Alex Young

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Prof Young is a good professor but the lectures are long and he crams too much information in little duration. He is accessible outside of class though and wants his students to do well. He also wears a mask sometimes it can be hard to hear.

Great professor, enjoyed the class, doing the homework problems every week really helped because they're the same kind of problems that show-up later on the exams.

The classes are only good for practice he doesnt teach. But a good guy and fair grader none the less. Would not take him for advanced courses but 101 was fine.

Prof. Young is the worst professor I have had at Hofstra. Before his class, I hadn't gotten lower than a B+ in any other class. His powerpoints and lectures make 0 sense, and you would think with everyone in the class complaining he would make his exams easier. I didn't learn a single thing about accounting at all in his class. Avoid at all costs!

The tests are impossible to finish and half of the course grade is based off test grades. He does replace your midterm grade with your final grade if you did better on the final, but the final is cumulative which makes it harder. Homeworks are easy points but the cases and tests are difficult.

Professor Young cares about his students and wants them to do well. Be prepared for teaching yourself the material since he does a flipped classroom method. All tests are online but with a lockdown browser. Professor Young offers extra credit at the end of the semester for up to 15 points added to your final grade. His lectures can be boring though
