Reviews of professor Aidan Young

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His lecture was hard to understand, with bad handwriting. He was condescending when answering questions.

Besides the fact that Aidan curves, I don't have one good thing to say about the class. Homework was horribly graded as he takes out points for everything wrong but doesn't give you points for everything correct. The exams were super difficult and much worse than previous exams. The whole semester was stressful and I was lucky to end up with a B.

Not a very good instructor, despite being obviously very knowledgeable. Grading curve at the end of the class was a joke, so take someone else if you want to ensure a better grade than I got. Ended with a C despite a B or B+ on every assessment.

One of the hardest classes I've taken in 4 years at UNC. Aidan is definitely not a bad guy, but he came across as condescending at times and the lectures were very hard to follow (illegible handwriting and spoke way too fast), so I had to teach myself the material through the textbook. Exams were hard, and grading was often contradictory.

often condescending when answering questions. very knowledgeable, but poor teaching practices.

No plusses or minuses in the course and there was a negative curve when he said we would be given a positive curve. Content itself is learnable though, try reading the textbook before lecture.

Tough class, but good guy. Really helpful during office hours, and curves the exams to help students.

Don't take the class with him whatever it takes! He is a very tough grader and condescending. Even if you are smart, your grade will tank for sure. He is even bad as a lecturer. He talks fast and does not explain things clearly.

Contrary to common belief, I actually really enjoyed my time in Aidan's class. He gets a bad rap for his grading scale, but I can understand why considering the easier tests relative to the other sections of 381. Lectures are optional, but the exact content of the exams is covered. I only attended a few, but he's a lot nicer during office hours.

Grading scale is a joke and his lectures were impossible to follow. Hw difficulty and midterm difficulty isnt even close to comparable

First of all, he is condescending. Second, he grades homework very harshly. Third, no curve. The perfect class to fail even if you study for it.
