Reviews of professor Richard Payne

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
The first couple readings are interesting so read them, but otherwise, it's really optional. He says to read them but you can get away with skimming or not reading it since he covers them a little in his lectures. Pay attention to his lectures since most of the test material is on that. He has review sessions which are super helpful.

Professor Payne was great!!! coming to class was not mandatory but I definitely recommend it. Participating helps you to better remember the information for the exams, I would totally recommend participating. 3 exams multiple choice questions. There is a reading or two assigned for every class.

Very easy class. 3 exams, all multiple choice. Lectures can become boring but I would pay attention and take notes because the exam questions are directly from the lectures.

1 written assignment, but it was super lightweight. Three exams. Make sure to take extensive notes of what he says in class because his words will be the answers to his exams. Lectures are recorded. No extra credit but you won't really need it. He's understanding, chill guy all around, and his class is super easy to follow.

although his class was not asynchronous, he let us know on the first day that attendance was not mandatory. he posts the lectures online so it's convenient. his lectures are a bit dry in the way he presents but the information itself is pretty interesting. 3 exams, all multiple choice, easy extra credit and he is very sweet. very straightforward.

His lectures were so boring, I dreaded going to class. He'd post the lectures but you need to be paying attention during the lecture to fully grasp the class.
