Reviews of professor James Taylor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Taylor is so far my favorite instructor at GW. He is very good at explaining the course concepts with great visuals. Labs are great for improving understanding and this is where the majority of the participation grade comes from. HWs are the perfect level of challenging and quizzes and the final are fairly graded with partial credit given

What a prof lol, I got 1 feedback and I was like I did not even write that. He gave me a random feedback lol. Other then that he is easy marker. You just have to have a strong point at times but other then that you are good to go. He marks very late. But he hands out free marks like literally.

Taylor is a good professor but a rude person. It's like he thinks everyone is out for him and he acts accordingly. Passionate good teacher but wasn't taught manners or something. The final and the quizzes were the reason I lost all the points I did; even if you fully understand the material you have to express it exactly how he wants or bye bye gpa

Taylor, is the worst. Between his boring, useless lectures, and his pointless 2 hour long labs, you learn virtually nothing from this class. He is a very strict grader on his bi-weekly 15 minute quizzes that count towards 30 percent of your grade, and he loves to take points off on the homework that he takes over a month to give grades back on.

Prof Taylor is an awesome professor. Everything that is on the biweekly quizzes is talked about and stressed in class and is on the quiz guides that he provides. The homeworks aren't bad if you start them early. There is a lot of partner work. Prof explains everything really clearly. Not a difficult class if you study whats on the quiz guides.

DO NOT TAKE HIM! Really heavy course load, 0 support especially for students who don't have a background in coding. He's also kinda condescending and expects you to know everything about python, even though most of his class is non-csci majors. Takes forever to grade even though he has an army of TAs. Not flexible in the least.

Professor Taylor is the best professor I've had at GWU. He knows what he is talking about and his course format was incredibly interesting. Participation matters a lot and most learning takes place with group exercises. Homework is generally easy and there are plenty of office hours to get help with it.

Get ready to complete a module each week. Work starts out pretty straightforward, but towards the end becomes more tedious and time consuming. Overall, the course is very organized and structured. START EVERYTHING EARLY!!

Tha teacher graded really late in the week. Wrote post of his own but didn't do citations.  His responses were confusing. This class class seem less about philosophy and science than bashing science
