His tests are very hard! He uploads all of his readings onto blackboard but doesnt go over them at all for the tests. He has an optional term paper thats 6 pages long. Your grade is made up of only the tests and term paper.

Comment:

Dr Young was an alright professor but he is very vague on assignments. There is only a few non comprehensive exams, but if you take good notes, you will do good, He adds a 10-12 curve on each exam, so that the good thing. Very vague on what he wants on the projects, but he is willing to help if asked. Very monotone, so it is hard to stay awake.

Dr. Young is a good professor. You show up to class, he lectures the material, great. The tests on the other hand, are 20 percent lecture 15 percent movies and 65 percent book. There are no other grades in this course besides the tests, so if you don't like attending class, which attendance is optional, you won't make an A. He does curve his tests.

if there's one thing i would do different in this class, i would read the book and not just take notes. some tests are more centered on it, so if you don't read it you fail. plus its interesting! the tests are kinda hard but if you thoroughly study you should be ok. wont hesitate to explain a topic if you ask. doesn't give extra credit so be wary.

Comment:

Took his summer deviance course 3320 he was horrible! He didn't grade tests accurately so he would give big curves, twelve points on one test, to make up for his grading errors that were continuously made . Very forgetful and very unorganized. Do not recommend this teacher! He is an unfair grader and his tests are hard and tricky.

A little monotonous and his humor is somewhat dry, but I love this man. READ THE BOOK AND SHOW UP FOR CLASS. The book is actually really interesting. The classes aren't even that long, and you won't pass if you don't attend; class average on tests were always like 60 bc people didn't bother to show up. BRING A LAPTOP AND TAKE THOROUGH NOTES ON IT.

When people say his tests are hard, they are not joking. I took my first exam today and I thought if I didn't miss a single day and took good notes I would be okay. I was wrong, go ahead and read the required chapters as well as memorize the name of the authors who write articles in the book. It is a difficult test, easy course.

Read the required material.. take thorough notes in class. I would bring a laptop instead of trying to write everything down. It's just less painful. I easily made an A and I'm not even required to take any sociology classes for my major. I just take his classes as a GPA boost.

Very funny, the lectures were interesting. He does have a dry lecture style but I did not find it boring at all. Very willing to explain things that were unclear and seemed to really listen to people and encourage feedback. I do recommend getting the book, though I've made Bs on the tests without it.

I agree with many of the comments. Just pay attention to the power points and understand what the concepts mean and you'll make an easy B

You just copy powerpoints in class. His tests are pretty much 50% class notes, 50% books. His tests are pretty easy and if you recognize what all the terms mean, you'll do fine. Theres always curves on his tests. Go to class, take notes, pay attention and you'll be fine

Funny guy. All you do is copy his powerpoints in class, but he throws in funny stories/movies to keep it interesting. skim the reading. he asks the most random questions about the reading on the test. multiple choice test. but not too hard as long as you show up and study a decent amount

Dry personality, sounds like the Clear Eyes guy. Put me to sleep a good portion of the time if I didn't have my coffee. REALLY IMPORTANT READ THE BOOK OR FAIL! TAKE NOTES OR FAIL! Attendance is necessary for his extensive notes.

This teacher is AMAZING. He has a dry personality but he is still considerably funny. You HAVE to read the book to do well on his tests. I recommend taking him for sociology.

I had him for Deviance. His tests are multiple choice, and they are not easy (barely made an A). He is a really good professor, though, that is, unless you do not like dry personalities. Although, I would take him again.
