Reviews of professor James Mayfield

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Initially, I was dreading the fact that I had to take a boring history class, but I was SO WRONG-- mind-opening, informative, politically relevant, and FUNNY lectures each and every class. Not a class for anyone who's sensitive or close-minded. Thank you for an enjoyable semester and for teaching your students valuable information.

If you want to learn and will interact this professor is for you! Heavy lecture with total class interaction. Appreciates different points of view and does not judge. Best class I have taken. Hope he will offer another class next semester. If you listen, participate and have an open mind you will probably get your 'A'.

Mayfield is a great professor. He's unlike any history professor, or professor I've had. He cares about his students and more so our understanding of the world around us than the material. He discusses current events/historical events and what it tells us about information bias and human nature. No HW, no textbook, a couple of papers. Cool dude.

The lectures in his class are the best of any class I've been in. He engages with students and is less bias than other professors in his field. If you show up to class and do his final and midterm papers with a decent amount of effort you will be able to get an A.

Honestly one of the best professors I've taken. He understands that students have lives of their own, if you show up to his class you will do fine. The class is graded off a few papers and participation, and he is not a tough grader, so as long as you meet the criteria you will get an A. His lectures are not boring and he's hilarious.
