Reviews of professor Javier Picayo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dont bother taking this class. He makes such an interesting class, miserable. You want to do good in the class? write your papers on what he says and his opinions. Always has an attitude wastes class just talking about his life.

Either you like him or you don't. Personally I didn't. Three hour classes where if we even check the time in our phones we are asked to go outside. So many readings and papers weekly. If you have a job or take multiple classes look somewhere .

He was pretty average. He was lenient at the end of the semester, but at the beginning, you are writing a paper every week. The papers are on very opinionated topics, but you have to make sure you write on his opinion of the topic, or he will reduce points.

I really enjoyed Mr. Picayos class. The curriculum had a well-rounded mix of different cultures and their approaches to the divine, and honestly changed the ways that I engaged with my own spirituality. There are a lot of readings and papers, but just do the assignments thoroughly and youll be fine. Dont be scared of the writing requirements!

PT 2: He also made me realize this: you are always in nature, the walls around you came from the purest sources of earth hence why youre always in tune. As I always felt I wasnt in nature, also made me realize that there is no right path just, paths. Truly a gem if youre interested but he is a tough grader. I would still take again 100%!

CLEAR SYLLABUS. GIVES DETAILED FEEDBACK. He doesnt want u to write on HIS opinion but on what the AUTHOR states which he explains in detail through his lectures (participate & come prepared!). Be straight to the point. Helps u understand, wants to see u improve, texts r hard but SO WORTH the read!! Dont take if religion is not ur interest.

He is a horrible professor. He spends his lecture time telling kids to stop talking which is not reasonable . The homework is useless and does not help just adds extra stress. He rushes through everything he teaches and the papers don't even make sense. Ridiculous

Very rude and doesn't care about his students. All he does is spend the lecture talking about his own personal issues and crap that I don't want to hear. I paid for an education, not a useless guy talking and dancing in front of the class like a tool. Don't take him.

Amazing professor! Gives individual attention and returns assignments almost in like a day. Funny and makes the lectures interesting. Definitely a good choice. I'd take him again any day!
