Reviews of professor Mark Young

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took his class for PChem lab. We had a total of two lectures. The final was ridiculous. He gave us a sheet of equations one week before the exam. This sheet included equations on data analysis with no context or labels that we had never discussed and weren't in any of the experiments in the class. The average was around 50%.

My only advice is if you can take another professor do so. If you are an independent learner who can teach everything to yourself then go ahead. I rewatched all the lectures after he taught them and the homework taught it to myself as I went. He is not worth the risk of lowering your GPA. Take someone else.

He is not as bad as everyone says he is. His tests are difficult, but he curves like crazy. He has a distribution with 12% A and so on no matter what grade you get. His homework is much more difficult than his tests so as long as you get that you will be fine. A lot of reviews here are too skewed but his class is more difficult than other teachers.

The lectures are quite standard, but fast paced and kinda boring overall. The lectures are missing many demonstration problems that is going to be on the homework on Macmillanlearning platform. Oftentimes I have to ask TAs for help with homework practices. Try enrolling in other profs if available for the same course.

I can't even begin to describe the atrocity of this class. He reads off a PowerPoint that was probably created when the dinosaurs were alive and he's only available online outside of class. The TA's themselves struggled to answer my questions and the homework problems require so much outside math that this class should be under upper-division math.

If there is another chemistry professor, take that one. He will not teach, so expect to do all the learning by yourself. The midterms are very hard, discussions are mandatory. The amount of homework and math is insane, if that won't kill you, then his unenthusiastic teaching style will.

His tests are EXTREMELY difficult, and the homework questions, lecture questions, and test questions often require you to use a bunch of different aspects of your learning. And since these types of questions are launched at you from the moment of being taught the concept, you don't really get a chance to grasp the basics of the concepts.
