Reviews of professor John Theado

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Don't recommend it. It could have been worse, but he is horrible at explaining in his lectures, passed almost with a B. If you are naturally good with math, it could be easy enough for you, but if it isn't your strong suit I don't recommend it!

Be prepared to experience constant tantrums and random call outs if you disturb his important lectures. Oh by the way if you were wondering how the exams are it's a 50/50 coin flip based on if the TA is feeling nice or not, you can have the same answer as someone and still be given less points. Have fun!

Professor Theado explains the class content through slides in-depth and precisely.  One issue with him is that his lectures are very boring and consist of him reading off his slides in a very monotonous way.  Also, he has an apparent lack of people skills and he would get distracted and triggered by minor things.  Many students felt he was rude.

Average. Lectures were not interesting and he does online recordings of his classes. He was accessible outside of class and was an average professor. Would not take again due how uninteresting the lectures were. The homework was done in the SMART LAB which was ok if you like it.

as long as you study and do all the homework you'll get a good grade.

He's the biggest snowflake I have ever witnessed. Charming soft and easily triggered by the most simple things.

I did not like his teaching style. He only read off of the slides he had up. Attendance was mandatory but going to his classes did help to understand the homework sometimes. My friend and I basically taught ourselves this course. Do the homework and do well on the quizzes and tests and you'll pass the class.

Knowledgeable but almost robotic in lectures.  No warmth or emotion at all in his personality which makes lectures very boring.  Very condescending towards students on multiple occasions.  Might be a fine professor to take for upper-level courses, but I would avoid taking him for this class unless absolutely necessary.

He never responded to emails and is only available one day a week outside class. He doesn't teach; he just reads the slides. The slides are posted and easy to learn from. He doesn't do a good job explaining when you're lost. Mandatory 2 hours a week in the Smart Lab, and you must take the quizzes there. Easy if you understand the material.

The worst professor USF has ever hired. He was very condescending to students, being rude and interrupting class for 10 straight minutes over a phone's notification. His exams are psychological torture (with no practice exams, so you have to guess what's on). There's an attendance quiz in every class. Massive amounts of HW with no reminders at all.
