I took Professor Young for EEMB 120 which was taught by two teachers. I think her lectures were interesting and she really cares for the students. The class itself was rather difficult, the class average for the first midterm was rather low (taught by the other professor), but there was a huge curve and the final (Young's portion) allowed notes!

Hilary is a great researcher, however she needs to learn that dumping three classes worth of material in 5 weeks is absurd. She covered way more than she needed to and tested on it. Not only were the number of slides ridiculous, her organization was poor and she went through material so fast. She is out of touch.

I took 113 with Hillary and her portion of the class was extremely unorganized. The slides she lectured from didn't match the slide deck she published and she lectured so fast it was impossible to keep up. Her quizzes and exam asked very detailed questions on topics she only generally explained. Way too high of expectations for a 3 credit class.

Hilary was so disorganized and often didn't post slides that matched with our material. Shes a bad lecturer and doesn't make it clear which answer is the correct one. The test was deceiving even though the material isn't hard at all. The class was easy though thank god, if it was any harder i would not have taken it with her.

I really enjoyed EEMB120 and EEMB113 with Hillary. She is a caring and understanding teacher, great at responding to emails, and inspiring as a female scientist. The only thing I would change is that I the weekly quizzes, the questions were sometimes cryptic and hard to answer even when looking at the text, and were for the "next week's" papers.

There was about 2-3 research papers that needed to be read a week as the quizzes were on the content of those papers and the lecture material. The quizzes were the worst part of the class but weren't worth much compared to the course project. This class was graded on effort and only 1 midterm, difficult to fail the class if you complete every task
