Reviews of professor Matt Haydon

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Haydon was not the best at his lectures, but he was awesome at answers questions and giving extra credit. I got some wrong answers in my midterm and decided to talk to him about them and he raised my grade for coming in and talking with him about it. It's not an easy A, but its not difficult and he's a great teacher.

Professor Haydon was a great professor! His lectures were engaging and he encouraged participation by using open-ended questions. He did use a lot of articles in his assigned readings, but once you get the hang of reading them quickly it's not too bad. Grade was based on a midterm, final, and group project. He's a very understanding professor.

He's an ok professor. He seems like a nice guy and his lectures were interesting enough with good discussions. It was mostly hard cause it was so self-paced and relied heavily on the textbook. Your two tests count for most of your grade and there are minimal assignments in between. The tests can feel random. I felt lost for a lot of the class.

There's only two exams and they're 61% of your grade. Do bad on either and the best you'll get is an A- (assuming you get 100% on everything else). He gives a lot of the answers on the exams (about half); however, expectations are heavily unclear and the rest of the questions are ridiculous.

Honestly, this is a really easy class. Being a student along with caring for a newborn and working full time, time management is key. Its a lot of reading and if youre a fast reader and can absorb the information, this will be an easy course for you, otherwise, look somewhere else. Quizzes are decent but final and midterm are pretty hefty.
