    "comment": "Prof. Young is an engaging lecturer and caring teacher. The class was fairly demanding, but overall quite interesting and enjoyable. She also gets students involved by occasionally pulling them into discussions. The reading was consistent, but not too long. The 6 page paper was pretty time-consuming. If you put in the work, you will learn a lot.",

    "comment": "Great teacher. Sometimes she moves a little fast through her lectures, but she gives out outlines every day and what she's talking about is basically in the textbook, although she goes a little more in depth. Most of the grading done by the TA, I had Derek Taira, but I don't think hes there anymore. If you luck out and get him, hes the best TA ever",

The only bad thing is that she can sometimes lose her train of thought in lecture, which I found distracting, but otherwise you can't lose with her.",
