Reviews of professor Aidan Young

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He grades the homework really harshly, but goes easier on tests, so it balances out. If you get frustrated by unclear handwriting, definitely listen to the other reviews. He isn't a terrible lecturer, he mostly just copies the book in what he covers in class. No zoom option. Also I was scared to ask questions, he can be condescending.

Extremely confusing and boring lectures. He comes off as condescending, but I don't think he means to. He didn't decide on the grading scale, but it's stupid and unfair, so FYI: A 91-100, B 85-90, C 77-84, D 66-76, F 0-65. Imagine getting an 84, but it's actually a C. And the inconsistent point ranges (9 point range for A, 5 point range for B, etc)

The worst class I took at UNC was this Math 381 by Aidan Young. Going to his class is even not helpful so just preparing to teach yourself

I'm going to disagree with the bad reviews. I have had serious health issues this semester and Mr. Young has been accommodating, professional, and kind to me through it all. This is a tough class, which is no fault of the professor despite what others said. Expect to study hard because it is not an easy class. If you don't study, you won't do well.

Aidan is good with the math but created a poor learning environment for undergraduate students. He gave consistently unsatisfactory and combative responses anytime we asked him a question throughout the semester & as someone stated below often came across as condescending. I wouldnt say stay away, just know what youre getting yourself into

His handwriting is extremely difficult to read. He knows the material well, but struggles to teach it; textbook has more clear explanations. He also gives inaccurate approximations on where students are on the curve throughout the year. Each exam I scored within his "A range" but the final curve didn't align with his mid-semester updates at all.
