Reviews of professor John Casey

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
You come to class just to listen to him reading materials off powerpoints. There are no reviews for exams so you don't what to expect. The best strategy is to read the whole book and remember everything. Very boring and pointless class at the end

I actually admire this professor's knowledge for the subject. He is even a great guy. However, the tests are LONG. The textbook is huge and you quite literally have to memorize 6-8 HEAFTY chapters at a time because tests will ask you small details that you will not remember if you dont completely submerse yourself into studying.

He's really passionate about this subject, but sadly he's very mentioned and its hard to stay up. Must read the textbook to understand the materials and the course is test heavy, but he provides alot of study materials that you re able to use.

Going to his class was pointless. His lectures were very boring because all he did was just read off of the slides, which we could do ourselves. He took forever to reply to emails and didn't really explain the topics. There was no homework, only 3 major test and about 4 quizzes. One time , half of the class walked out because of how boring he was.

Casey's class is a chore. Lectures are meaningless and hard to get through. Lab assignments are suffocating. Tests are long and specific. The essay and field reports are vague and misguided. With that said, he can be helpful 1-on-1 and he's a very active teacher in the field. Just focus on the tests and manage to complete the rest. He curves nicely

Not a difficult class at all but it's just memorization. He only counts the 3 highest test scores out of 4 tests which are lengthy, about 50+ questions each. Alright teacher but he only reads the slides, which are on blackboard, so it can be very boring. As long as you read the book/slides/take notes you'll do fine.

Reads off powerpoints the entire time is not clear on what is expected on assignments tests are diffcult only because you have no clue what to study(textbook, powerpoints, practice quizzes). He has practice quizzes which are optional but I recommend the use of those quizzes cause some questions end up on exams. Is horrible at responding to emails.

His teaching is very poor. Going to class seemed pointless as the information was also found on blackboard. He was not helpful when replying to emails and answering questions from the class concerning exams, homeworks, and quizzes. He has no desire to watch his students succeed. Avoid this professor at ALL costs.
