Reviews of professor John Payton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Incredibly sweet and caring professor. He is not the best at explaining the course material, but if you do the work and show him you care, you'll be fine.

After finishing the course, I see that most of the problems in the course were due to lack of planning as it was his first time teaching the course. He is very smart and knows his stuff, the structure of the class just put him in a wierd position. Other review is unreasonable. Still did pretty well in the class overall.

He is clearly a very smart guy. However this is the worst class Ive ever taken. We dont have a textbook, assigned readings, or a class schedule. We spend more than 50% of our time on research methods that are over our heads and irrelevant to the class. He does not give us any feedback on quizzes or assignments. No clue what Im supposed to know.

He is a really really sweet man who is understanding and flexible when it comes to deadlines. I couldnt tell you a single thing I learned in the class, but if you show him you care and you do the assignments, you will get a good grade.
