Reviews of professor Justin Havird

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He gives great feedbacks when you reaches him. Focus on the graphs and other visual explanations he used during the lectures. This could be extremely helpful for practicing the exams. He gave us extra case study examples for exam practices, and I really liked it.

Funniest guy ever, so sad to switch in the middle of the semester. If you like science and biology, take evolution with him!

Dr. Havird was one of the best professors I've had so far. He made his class extremely accessible and engaging, even with the class being split online and zoom. He was quick to answer any questions, and is extremely receptive towards feedback.

His lectures were very detailed and clear. Quizzes were fair and not too challenging. Midterms were tough and all frq but a fair representation of the material. Discussions are mandatory but pretty chill. Overall good prof.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The professor takes feedback seriously. The course was challenging; lectures were uninteresting and rarely aligned with discussions, which often felt irrelevant. Exams were graded harshly, requiring precise wording, and the professor's feedback was discouraging, implying I should drop rather than improve.

Tests were 86% and discussions were 14%. This was Dr. Havird's first semester at UT and he is a great lecturer, very young and innovative. He was approachable and gave clear lectures that inspired you to think about evolution. The class, however, was hard and I regret taking it due to its difficulty. The co-teacher, Dr. Linder was even worse

Professor Havird taught the first half of evolution this semester and did a great job. No unexpected exam/quiz questions, everything felt very fair. Lectures, readings, class activities were engaging and made the class a lot of fun to attend. Havird actually responded to feedback given via a survey he put out which was extremely nice. Recommend!!!
