Reviews of professor Brian Youngblood

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He was a very caring instructor but unfortunately seemed to have a hard time teaching. If you have a hard time with math I highly suggest not taking him. Exams are outrageous for a community college. This class is based off exams. The amount of effort you put into this class does not matter if you do not pass the exams.

Nice guy, but not a good teacher. Lectures are nonsense/waste of time and you can't hear him. Used matrices to teach but thats not a pre-req for the class. No homework and textbook differs from test. All work graded the very last day. Tests/labs had no feedback/solutions, only a grade. Got an A but didn't learn anything. Used Jorstads Labs and book

Prof Youngblood is a very caring professor! He has a unique way to lecturing. I had to work really hard to understand the topics. He is very theoretical and made me see things in a new way. He is fast at responding to emails and gives you more than enough resources for quizzes/test. He doesn't do many examples in class, but does give a lot of HW.

Professor Youngblood's lectures were very boring, but he is great at answering questions. Labs mostly consisted of group presentations. Not a very harsh grader. Textbook for recommended problems not that great.

Nice guy but don't assume he's going to test you on what he lectured on. He likes to word things vague and tricky on the exams. You need to use a lot of online resources and pray that you know someone who knows what they're doing in the class. Strong math skills are a must. If you can't pass exams, you won't pass the course.

Im going to be honest, if you arent at least getting 65% on the exams, youre not going to pass the class. Strong math skills will carry you on in this class. If youre just barely passing, COMPLETE ALL THE HW. Its a grade booster by a couple percentages. Also, not doing the HW will hurt you. Get a lot of online resources. Prepare to study A LOT.

Youngblood is a solid teacher. His lectures can get pretty boring, but he likes to do classwork to keep students engaged. The tests are pretty tricky, but he is much better at explaining things 1-on-1, so go to his office hours or ask questions in lab. Also, the labs aren't too difficult as long as you stay focused, excel experience helps.

One way to say it is man is a great physicists and shouldn't be teaching a basic subject you can see his appreciation is more towards the theoretical sides of physics which is great for him but can sometimes lose us as we still dont see things the way he does other than that kind professor who is always there for help.

I had PHYS161 and 162 with him. Excellent teacher, but 162 had some pretty boring lectures. Might have just been the subject tho. He'll help you with the homework, and he'll answer any question you have. Very good at explaining things 1 on 1.
