Comment:
I took his class in the mid 1970's when Professor was a new teacher. I thought he was the smartest and best teacher I ever had. I was a Civil Engineering Major and was impressed with his knowledge on every thing. His lectures were so interesting and on the leading edge.

Do not take his class if you have no desire to work and understand the subject. I you are interested in astronomy he is one of the best professors you will ever have teach you. You must study for the test in order to do well. He knows his subject which is what you want from a professor.!

Very intelligent and funny, but not very friendly. His tests were random and harder than I expected. There are much easier courses to pick for your Science GE than Young's class.

All he does is lecture...he's kinda funny and really intellegent. But his tests are way hard and they are hard to study for. I fell asleep in the class at least 10 time last semester. You will learn something but its hard to get an A.

Worse Teacher ever... He lectured the whole class, made you buy his books which you dont even need for the class and non of the stuff he talked about was on the tests... I thought this class would be an easy GE, Hardest class ever.

Comment:
Worst professor i've ever had in my life. He degrades the Bible, God, and Religion. He makes his students feel uncomfortable. He assigned ex credit that he said no one in the world could do? Do not take this professor, he is a waste of your time and his tests are like the SATs. Dont buy the book.

Comment:
He is outdated. He still uses overhead transparencies from years ago and has you buy a spiral ring notebook full of all HIS notes that only make sense to HIM! Impossible to study for. There are definitely better teachers out there so I recommend finding another one.

Just lectures so its really easy. But the tests are really hard and since there for no homework assignments the tests can really make or break your grade. Never went to class except for the tests, really easy teacher.

Comment:
worst professor in the world. I was excited for astronomy, but all he lectures on is how he is an expert and us "general ed" students could'nt possibly understand. only 2 test for your ENTIRE grade, impossible to study for because you don't know what he is talking about. i sat in the front and still couldn't hear him. never finishes a thought.sucks

Comment:
Do not take this class if you are a dim-witted sorority or fraternity freshman who is in college just for the parties. If you cant hear in the back move to the front. I am a science major...you non-science majors have no idea what a boring science class is.All you have to do is show up and listen and invest a few hard hours of studying before exams

Comment:
He's a good teacher since he knows what he's talking about, but he tends to talk down to students. The class itself is kind of boring since you don't have to take notes and he just lectures. No homework though... thats a plus!

He's extremely intelligent, and has a lot of information to offer...the lectures do get rather boring. The grades are based on two tests, which can be pretty difficult...but he curves it all.

HORRIBLE TEACHER.Do not take this course unless you love astronomy. Not an easy A. I took it to satisfy a gen ed requir. and it sucked because he teachers way above 10 level, tests are impossible, and he is completely inaccessable to students. I HATE HIM
