Reviews of professor Ian Hewitt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He graded tough on the first assignment when it was new material and criteria. His class was miserable for me. He claims he wants to go against the traditional schooling system but actually made it so much worse. He said he doesn't want to focus on memory but that's what his quizzes and tests are about, nothing he teaches shows up on the tests.

A complete embarrassment as a teacher. My classmates agreed and my other professors were disappointed at his behavior

Genuinely the worst attempts at teaching that Ive ever witnessed. I really did try to give this guy a chance but at this point it feels like he purposely doesnt want students to succeed. You can study and write all the notes you want, youll probably still end up with a bad grade. Its really not motivating, especially since hes unhelpful.

He is very unhelpful and unclear in teaching methods. Students ask questions all the time in class and he sits there and stutters and beats around the bush a ton because I guess he doesn't want to give away an answer without making us think about it. It gets ridiculous the amount of work that needs to be done weekly and the unclear and unhelpfulnes

Extremely interesting material, could be difficult to understand but would recommend if interesting in the sciences

He was awful. His lectures and powerpoints were very boring and all over the place, and he puts so many silly animations and pictures on there you can't see what is the main point. These notes hardly translate into the daily quizzes and tests. If you think it would be a cool elective to take, don't make the same mistake I did

Unfortunately he is the only professor for this class so you don't have much of a choice but to take him. He's so worried that he's going to give you an answer that he never gives a clear answer to questions. His feedback on assignments is also rarely helpful since he still does not give any information. Lots of errors on quizzes too.

I tried my best with his class, but he did not give clear instructions on programs we had to write, he went over lecture topics only to give us programs to write that make little no sense, did not respond to emails in a timely manner, did not give clear feedback, etc. I was beyond frustrated with this course.
