Reviews of professor Cody Gaines

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Worst professor I've had in my 22 years of life. Extremely boring, reads directly off of long slideshows, you're graded harshly on a few hard quizzes and exams, has no experience or knowledge of the field, takes attendance and participating in class matters, and never responds to emails. Avoid this guy if you can.

His lectures are very hard to follow and then call on people to answer questions, that usually don't make sense. No honest feedback is given after the question, just ahh okay okay. If you have problems following along in class he makes it 10x harder. Quizzes are 2 questions from the lecture and the rest from the book and are very hard.

This by far is the worst professor I have ever had. He is disorganized and he doesn't make any sense. He is unreasonable and never responds to emails. Unless you can remember all the random things he says you will not do well in this class even if you are an A student

He is a very unique guy to say the least. He is very disorganized, and is really hard to get in contact with him not in class. His lectures are very writing heavy, and are hard to understand. He uses very complex terminology for rather simple things. The book is used for quizzes and exams. 2-3 writing assignments per semester (6-9 paragraphs).

Professor Gaines is a younger and nice guy and all but he gives out 0 homework. His class is 100% quizzes and exams and his lectures are long and boring. He goes through his long slideshow and reads off the board with minimal to no other words from himself. Very difficult to stay focused and if you dont take good notes you wont pass. AVOID THIS GUY

Professor Gaines is a nice guy but his lectures are very boring. If you don't pay attention don't expect to pass. He expects you to remember random facts and percentages from the readings and puts odd questions on the tests and quizzes. He doesn't grade any of your work until the very last day of class. Overall he is nice but not a good professor.

He is unclear at times but has minimal homework and outside class work besides studying for exams/quizzes which he provides study guides that are very similar to both. he does grade attendance but you also get many "free skips". I would take him again

Overall I would not recommend him as a professor. His lectures were boring and he talked a lot and would ask participation questions that sometimes made no sense. Attendance is mandatory and he grades attendance so if you don't show up it will highly affect your grade. You have to read the textbook to answer questions on the tests. Boring professor

He is very unclear about what will be on tests, BE CAREFUL
