Reviews of professor John Giles

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Truly the most low-energy, boring speaker I have ever heard. I don't usually have difficulty paying attention, but this guy slurs his words and speaks so slowly that trying to understand him is torturous. No exaggeration, 21 people left the lecture during the second class. If you have the chance, take this course with someone else.

absolutely horrible experience sitting through his lectures. He mumbles and slurs his speech making it incredibly hard to understand him. has his back facing the class with a picture of the textbook on the screen (doesnt use a laser so we have no idea what part of the texts he is referring to). repeatedly makes errors while giving examples.

literally the worst three hours of my week are spent trying to not fall asleep during this class. he slurs his words and talks so damn slow it gives me an aneurysm. he mixes up definitions on notes (that he doesn't post until he's reminded) and didn't even provide any type of course outline until asked. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID

I need this course for my major but the prof was just so incomprehensible that I decided to drop and wait for a better instructor. I know that he's good at the subject but he isn't able to direct the material to the students that well. The stats department really needs to see this problem with Giles. I don't understand how he was placed as a prof.
