Reviews of professor John Watson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Watson was a very understanding and passionate professor. He's easily approachable and his lectures were easy to understand. Show up to class, read the textbook and taking notes will get you a passing on his exams. The course was not difficult and pretty straightforward.

Watson was great!! I found him very caring and entertaining. He sometimes has a hard time explaining lectures but overall, he gets the point across. Make sure you are studying for tests. By that I mean, listen to the things he says because he WILL explicitly tell you whats on the exams. He doesnt set his students up for failure. Love this guy!

Im a chem major and I had to take PPOL to satisfy a gen-Ed requirement and Professor Watson was one of my favorite professors Ive ever had. You can tell hes passionate about what he teaches and after the final he thanked every one of his students personally for taking his course. Highly recommend taking his class

Very personable, and cares deeply about the subject. Show up to class and pay attention- some of the stuff he talks about isn't in the book. Doesn't post lectures to Bb. This is not an easy A class, so I wouldn't recommend unless you are truly interested in the topic. Only graded on participation, midterm, final, and final paper (on his own book).

Watson is a great professor and cared about all his students. The course is easy if you read the book that the lectures are based on. He is very lenient on grading and makes sure every one of his students passes the course. 10/10 would recommend and take again. Also he loves his Cubbies!

One of the worst professors I've ever had. This guy has absolutely no idea what he's talking about! he's extremely unorganized, always late and all over the place! I have never written a bad review about a professor but this guy deserves it. He just draws random graphs on the board from the book & has no idea how to explain it. Total waste of time

This class was absolute chaos! The material is supposed to be simple, but he makes everything literally so confusing! he's so unorganized and has no idea what he's talking about. I wish I could go back and take this class with any other professor. Never taking this guy again!
