Reviews of professor Jervis Payne

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is so unorganized and makes his grading so unclear. He gives you very blanket tasks and then expects great detail. He is kind of rude for a Christian ministry teacher. I would not take him again. His lectures are boring and he did not teach well.

He's a great teacher, but you really have to take good notes to get a good grade.

Took him for BF, he was wonderful. Tuesday/Thursday class and he always let us go at least 10-20 minutes early. Study guides are the tests and he lets us ask any questions we are missing from the study guide the class session before each exam. Cannot recommend Dr. Payne enough.

Dr. Payne is a great guy. He is lecture heavy which is one drawback but if you take good notes, you'll do great on the test. On the final, he was nice enough to take the really hard questions out (he gave us the questions a week before). I would recommend taking his class for sure.

Dr. Payne is my favorite professor at Samford! He is wise and knowledgeable, and he has taught me more about God than I ever could have imagined. He deeply cares about his students and is easily accessible. He is willing to work with you to help you succeed both inside and outside the classroom!

Great professor! He is knowledgeable, his tests are easy, and he allows computers! A complete game changer. He also has reading reports that count more than test grades which can help you. Between this and corny jokes, I would take him again in a heartbeat.

I really like Dr. Payne a lot. He's pretty funny and kind, so he does stuff like "joke of the week," but having a straight lecture class for almost 2 hrs 2 times a week can get boring. There's not much besides taking notes and doing the test, besides the research paper. Overall, he's an awesome person, but I'm not a fan of lecture-heavy classes.

Is the most rude Professor Ive had at Samford. He never was clear on his assignments and then was a tough grader. Would not recommend this class. Its a 1 credit class but he treats it like a 4 credit class. Class was tough and Dr. Payne is not a good professor.

Dr. Payne is a great professor and person. He cares about his students and knows his material very well. Theres a lot of reading but no quizzes on it, just read for general understanding. Has a dad joke sense of humor and keeps class entertaining.
