Reviews of professor James Pearson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Pearson goes on random tangents and it confuses everyone. Other sections/profs for 201 had better experiences. I did not know what topic we were talking about most of the time, and not from lack of trying. He graded only one thing before the last week of the semester and tests were barely related to class content (based on research papers).

Our class average was a D after about 1/4 of the class had to drop bc they were failing. We were consistently doing at least 10% worse on every exam then the other sections. He is unhelpful and a terrible teacher. His lectures are pointless and have nothing to do with exams. If you want to do well, drop the class and take it with another professor.

Hes really clear on whats expected from the student. Too clear honestly because he repeats the syllabus every class. I think he just wants everyone to do well. Allows you to have your own time management which is great. Expects your effort and time put in weekly. More than fair. Lectures can get a little boring about half way through.
