Reviews of professor Winthrop Dyer

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
this professor is a good person but not a good teacher. the way he teaches and expects students to retain all of this knowledge is outlandish. the way he expects students to remember over 300 slides for a 75 question quiz is crazy. also the way he does quizzes is baffling as well. how he operates his courses are absurd.

Professor Dyer is a nice person but is not a good professor. There is no actual teaching, just slides that are read word for word in class. Pop quizzes at the beginning of most classes. 4 exams with at least 100 questions on each. No grades are posted to blackboard so you don't know how you are doing. Takes forever to answer questions (email).

Literally the worst professor I have ever had. There are quizzes every class which would be fine, except they are on material we have not even talked about yet. We are supposed to read the lectures ourselves (read ahead to be prepared) and then all he does for the entirety of class is read those slides word for word.

NEVER skip class, he gives quizzes that is used for attendance every class. He reads straight from the slides and never gives projects and hardily gives homework to make sure you understand the content. The chair of the department won't listen to your complains about his course so you're better off not taking his sections. Lowkey fatphobic.

Dislike his teaching

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I know not everyone likes his teaching style, I personally do best in lecture based classes and really do enjoy his lectures. You can tell how passionate he is about this stuff and it makes it my favorite 9am. The exams are take home, and the pop quizzes are easy as long as you review the slides before coming in. Would take again!

Dr. Dyer is a really great professor who is extremely knowledgable and passionate about this course. I think he challenges students in a fantastic way. Pay attention in class, take notes, and study for quizzes. If you study for quizzes before each class, exams will be a breeze.
