Reviews of professor Ian Taylor

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Uses terrible videos to explain concepts. He doesn't know how to teach. Find any way out of taking him.

Dr. Taylor is a great prof. If you do the work, and pay attention in class you will get a good grade.

Dr. Taylor is knowledgable, approachable, and friendly. He is enthusiastic during class and always glad to answer any questions. His exams really reflect what you learn in class, and he grades fairly. In Gen Chem I lab, he does a good job of explaining/demonstrating the procedure. He encouraged us to work efficiently so we could finish early.

Spends 90% of class talking about himself, and 10% fumbling through material he doesn't understand. Don't even try questions out of class, he won't explain then either.

Want everything graded in the last 2 days of the semester? Want to learn nothing, and then be graded harshly? This is your guy.

Tougher material and exams/quizzes make up most of the grade. However, Dr. Taylor does a great job of explaining the material and genuinely wants you to succeed and do well in the class.

Dr. Taylor doesn't understand basic concepts and never grades anything before the end of the semester. He is also never available, and does not respond to emails.

Can be a difficult class, but once you put in the work, you will begin to do well!
