Reviews of professor Alex Young

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
By far the best professor I have taken. Prof. Young made a difficult class so much fun and I really looked forward to attending every week. He expects his students to give their all and his grading is fair.

This is guy is the worst! He screws up the first midterm by making it too long, nobody in class completed. Gives us an extra credit assignment (after begging) and thats harder than the class itself. He made an easy class complicated. He makes the final too long . He's unable to comprehend and answer questions. The guy is unreal! Avoid at all costs

Prof Young is so sweet! I had him for ACCT123 and he was gr8. He teaches differently. He'll post the slides and a video of him going over the slides and explaining everything. and once you get to class he'll do examples with the class. He answers his emails fast and is there after class if you have any questions and also during his office hours.

Professor Young is great. ACCT 123 is not an easy class, however he is extremely helpful and wants to see you do well. He does teach in a flipped classroom method, but the problems done in class are similar to what you would see on a test. First two tests are taken on computer and final is in class but you are allowed a double sided cheat sheet.

He goes over the homework you have in class, so going to class will help you with HW. It's a lot of information. He is always open to questions though, and has every student participate and answer his questions. It is quite a difficult class, but he is willing to help and also has office hours. If you do well on the final he drops a midterm grade.

I had a problem with his exams. His midterm exam had only one question out of five relating to the material we went over in class/homework. Failed. His policy is if you do good on the final he will drop your midterm grade. Did not curve the exam. I got <50%, so did my peers. Overall, class/lectures were good, but exams are super tough.

Overall I haven't absorbed any form of knowledge through the course of the semester, info and numbers are flying through your brain and out the other side, he expects you to know everything, and ends class abruptly. For me it was a complete waste of time, tuition, and experience to stay in this class.

Had him for both 123 & 124. His teaching-style definitely requires getting used to. Posted videos for 123 but actually taught in-class for 124. You have to teach yourself all the material regardless to do well. Tests are extremely challenging (long problems, no concepts). However, he actively encourages questions. Solid teacher for tricky courses

Professor Young was great. He gives out handouts and the PP shows you how to do the hw so it makes it less time consuming. Personally, this was a sophisticated class for me. Cost acct is just long and hard in general.
