Reviews of professor John Davies

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Davies is incredible & has been my fav prof at Temple so far. He's loving, kind, funny, & will do the absolute MOST to ensure you get a good grade & feel safe in his class. No exams, just an EASY midterm proj, final proj, & a few pop quizzes that you can take with classmates. Some reading but easy to get by w/o reading everything. 12/10 would rec

Davies is amazing. One Saturday I sent him an email and he responded in 30 min. He cares for students. We did not meet in this course so he did a discussion every week with NO essays. The largest paper in that class was about 3 pages. The work is not tough and it is easy for a required English class. He gives you all the readings as well.

If you want to take an easy IH II class do not pick him. He is a tedious grader and there is no leeway for even something as simple as discussion posts.

I HATED the book choice, but dude was cool, gave good feedback on everything I submitted and was an easy grader. I took Intellectual Heritage over the summer and he was easy to take.

This was probably the easiest class I have ever taken. If you need to take IH 1, take it asynchronously with Davies. He is straightforward with assignments and what he expects from them and unless you deliberately don't follow instructions you'll do fine. I got a 100 in the course and put in maybe an hour of work per week at the start of the week.

I took him Fall of 2018, he was a really great professor. He cares, about the students, and he is lenient if you talk to him. He has clear grading criteria that he sticks to. He gives good feedback, after every assignment. I recommend taking his classes!

An absolute gem of a professor at Temple. Prof Davies was clear with every assignment and in the rare case he was not, he would take credibility and fix the issue. He makes the class very enjoyable too and TRIES! I wish every student had the opportunity to have Professor Davies. Weekly assignments, few quizzes, midterm, final, extra credit!

The BEST professor for IH at temple. The class is the easiest gendEd I've ever taken. Your entire grade is based off of weekly canvas discussions and most of them are only 100-200 words long.
