Reviews of professor Vanessa Young

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Young is an amazing teacher. Her class is very difficult, but extremely rewarding. The class requires a lot of hardwork and effort but Professor Young's lectures are the best aid. She is very thorough and met with me numerous times individually when I needed extra assistance. Yes, the class is hard, but she makes it SO worth it.

The exams are really tough, and a lot of the questions do not come from our notes. So many notes that do not have to do with our quizzes or exams. The writing questions on the exams are really tough and she does not prepare you for them adequately. You learn the material up until the day before exams, so you do not have time to study.

Her lectures- she goes fast, but she allows for questions. She posts them online so you can write stuff you missed in classes. 

She is so sweet, and she wants you to do good, but pay attention to the lab lectures as well. 

Test strategy- PEARSON STUDY BY CHAPTER!!! she uses the questions on these modules on her tests and exams.

Dr. Young is truly a phenomenal professor. She is incredibly understanding, kind, funny, and very excited to teach everyday. She truly does her best to give you every possibility to succeed. Fantastic teacher and I enjoyed every day of her class. I would definitely love to have her a teacher again and I would recommend her to any student.

The lecture part of bio 141 is only a 50-minute class and she fits almost a whole chapter into a 50-minute talk. The class is incredibly fast passed, and you cannot fall behind otherwise it will just be a downward spiral. Dr. Young communicates very well; quick email responses, open during office hours, ect. This class is intense. Be prepared.

Young is very nice, speaks clearly during lectures. A lot of material covered- slightly overwhelming (exams aren't too bad). But, she doesn't seem to consider student feedback, will give assignments with short timeframes for completion (esp. if you are taking other heavy classes), and penalizes grades if she can't view a HW submission (in syllabus)

She is very fast paced. She only has 50 minutes to teach and she uses every second of it and covers a lot of material. It does sometimes feel like she's reading off the slides but she's incredibly kind and is willing to help if you are struggling
