Reviews of professor Richard Byington

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I've taken him multiple times and he is very nice and has interesting lectures. You have to show up for class and take basic notes, but if you do that you'll get a good grade easily. He is helpful with giving pointers for assignments.

Professor Byington is quite knowledgable in Modern Florida History and is well respected by students and staff. Due to COVID-19 his lectures were done on video and his powerpoints were available to follow along with. Multiple articles in JSTOR and 3 books (1 is given) need to be read for the 2 exams, 6 quizes, 1 research paper and 1 Book Review.

A great teacher who really cares if you learn, not too difficult (but I like history) and easy to get help if you need it.

Please dont take the hybrid class its a disaster, nothing is clear and he is a very tough grader.

Decent online lectures that are always super interesting (but I love history). A couple of papers, I just recommend starting them two weeks beforehand and doing a little each day, or else you may bore yourself. The quizzes are alright, just take notes on the lectures. Overall very friendly and loves what he does!

I've taken his Early and Modern Florida classes. He's a great professor, and very passionate. Lectures are interesting and fun. If you show up and participate you'll do fine. He randomly takes attendance bc there's a small grade for it. easy points. I appreciate his grading scale. Everything is weighted pretty eventually. best professor ever

Minimum effort given to make a purely online class work. His lectures are never uploaded on time, often after tests are due that require you to watch his lectures. A lot of test questions are seemingly irrelevant. Every assignment is posted mere days before they're due, so pay close attention to his syllabus. And an exam due at noon? only take p2p.
