Reviews of professor John Skardon

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do not take this professor unless you enjoy torturing yourself. My semester isn't over, but if you're considering taking a class taught by him: YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. He doesn't teach. Period. Quizzes are mostly trick questions. He picks apart written answers and gives you points if he agrees. Some reading assignments will not even be on the quiz.

My online experience was horrible. He brags about how a lot of students want to take his class and how quickly seats fill up. Class starts fast paced if you dont have some sort of background knowledge on the subject.

Took this class because my advisor said I needed the units. ENVS is not even my major and it was the hardest class I've ever taken! If you don't need the class, save yourself the time and struggle and take something else! The final paper is 15 pages along with 100 multiple choice questions.

Dr. Skardon was one of my easiest professors to work with this semester. All of his lectures are accessible online, so if you are unable to attend a class, you can still find the lecture. Honestly, the majority of the class relies on you taking good notes, so as long as you are a good note taker, you should have no issues in his class!

Terrible. Canvas page not updated since last semester, there was no rubric for final paper. I asked a question and he responded with a snarky comment basically saying I should've known when we have never written a paper for the class and he gave us zero guidelines. He is a careless and lazy professor that doesn't care about his job or students.

I took this class because I needed the credit and a friend recommended this course. It might work in person but this has been the hardest, least rewarding class I've taken online. The content was easily forgotten after quizzes and the final assignments are way too demanding for the amount of content we were given.
