Reviews of professor Joseph Hays

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Joe is invested in his students and will give you the same effort that you give to him. He marks hard but is willing to give the feedback needed to improve. He lectures very well, with humour and knowledge.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very poor conflict management. Takes any issue very personally. Super hard marker for writing. Closed book tests.

Joe is a tough but fair professor. He's a pretty cool guy, really chill and easy to get along with. If you show up and give your best effort there is no reason to butt heads with him. Joe is an extremely tough grader, and he WILL push you to your limits. He is a good professor and you will learn plenty in his courses.

The course is based on two assignments (both 20%), two tests (25% each) and attendance. Tests are over 50 questions with less than 45 minutes to answer, with some questions being paragraphs long and 4 options that are each long as well. He expects averages of 60% on exams but can only get a grade of 85% himself. His work/tests have multiple errors.

Lowkey, worst teacher ever. His feedback for essays were redundant, didn't make any sense, and refused to elaborate on why he gave certain marks. Good luck if you have him, you'll need it. If you have the chance to switch out, do it.

Does not grade fairly. Gives inconsistent feedback and does not follow curriculum properly.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Makes empty promises, screams at the class, nit picks spelling/grammar/punctuation but has multiple errors in his own work. He also has a short temper and is bad at conflict management yet teaches a conflict management course.
