Reviews of professor John Howerton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Howerton is a great professor, he is very responsive on any questions you have, and his assignments are very clear. The only thing I recommend if you take the class is to watch his lectures carefully and take good notes because the information on the lectures is usually on the quiz's.

A very generous grader. One easy assignment every week and an easy group project. The exams are a huge part of your final grade and many of the students were nervous about the scores they would get on them. Everyone ended up getting 95% + on the exams. It would be hard to not get an A in this class.

Make sure to study and take really good notes for quizzes. Group project with world leaders is very fun!

Excellent teacher. I highly recommend this class, whether it is for an elective or a requirement. The material was always relevant and intriguing. He made it fun. Best experience I have ever had in an educational environment.

John was great. he was fair on a grade, and was very helpful if you had questions. i also missed an assignment and he let me submit it late. i took him for 211 and will take him again for 221. The only thing i don't like was the group projects, a lot of piggy backing with my group.

Professor Howerton took the time to personally guide my low-participating team to working solutions on teamwork. Greatly assisting me and allowing all to finish with acceptable grades. I would not have maintained good grades in this class or the others taken without his assistance and time devoted to seeing our team through in an objective manner.

One of the best professors in the IST program at PSU, hands down. He's such a genuine professor, answers questions quickly, and grades very clearly. The Group Project is easy and he even gives you an example of what he's expecting. The assignments are easy as long as you watch the videos each week. He makes the material easy to learn!
