Reviews of professor Ian Payne

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Doesn't explain stuff, feel like he doesn't really know what the concepts are

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Ian is one of the best professors/teachers I've ever had. He explains content better than any high school teacher. His lectures are very enjoyable even when the content isn't. He is very helpful in office hours and treats you like you're smart even if you're asking a really dumb question. I would 100% switch into his section of another course.

Ian made the content very enjoyable for me to learn, making this my favourite course I've ever taken. Although I found the content very difficult, Ian was always available to help me understand what I was confused about. He is very passionate about his job and about math.

Ian is amazing. He's that kind of person really into math which you can easily tell. Passionate, caring. He has a sense of humor, though not that fun. You can easily find him after class, even not during office hours.

Ian was a great instructor to have, waking up early for morning lectures was not unbearable. He was very informative and knowledgeable, as well as very hilarious and witty!

Best professor I've had at Waterloo. I normally don't participate in lectures but I felt very good participating in this class. Always keeps you entertained with the math taking place. Cannot stress how good he is. If you have the option of taking any class with him TAKE IT.

(Actually taking Math235)A really amusing man who can 'play' math with students. Always have some fun questions at the first part of a test. He's afraid that you get a low score and will try his best to help you. I love this professor.
