Reviews of professor Adam Maynes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures so boring and he'd get off track and talk about random things for an hour and a half and then with the last 15 minutes try and go through stuff. No technology which makes class almost unbearable. Also its obvious that he's a republican and I feel like there were certain times in class when it was like too obvious if you know what I mean.

Professor Maynes has been one of my favorite professors at GCU. He is a great guy and wants his students to do well and learn. He is easy to reach out to and responds quickly to questions or concerns. I cannot wrap my head around why people are giving him bad ratings. I promise that if you participate and work hard in his classes, you will succeed!

I like Maynes, as a person, he has great real-world experience and enjoys his work. I don't love his teaching style, it's very lecture-heavy, and gets really distracted by discussions that come up, rather than preparing for discussions. There was a lot of busy work in this course and extra assignments "for participation points" which sucked.

Maynes is legitimately the best (government) professor I had the pleasure taking. His experience in government, true knowledge and understanding is unmatched. He is lecture heavy, but he does the best job of implementing interactivity and discussion. There aren't enough characters to rave about him, but if you have the chance, take him!

Took the Honors version of this class. Maynes was frequently tardy and inaccurate. Frequently, it would seem like Professor Maynes created the lecture the night prior, as there were many inaccuracies and spelling errors. With this being said, he is an easy grader, however: do not expect to gain any invaluable knowledge from him.

I took this 100 level class my senior year basically as an elective. I had an A throughout the whole class, this was during 2020 so we ended up going online due to covid. I had never gotten lower than an A- on an assignment, well until the final. He failed me on the final resulting in a B- total. I emailed twice, texted him, & nothing... ghosted me

Maynes was great. He was very understanding and the content was easy to learn. If you pay attention and come to class it is an easy A. He lectures every day but gives breaks to talk and discuss the content.

Professor Maynes has a discussion based class, where most of the learning is done through application or talking with a neighbor. He made class entertaining, and was very understanding with everyone's personal life. I would take him again!

Professor Maynes made this class very interesting. He created projects for each of the topics instead of lecturing everyday. He grades fairly and it is easy to get an A in his classes.
