Comment:

He was extremely boring and unclear. He tried really hard to make jokes and I felt bad when no one laughed, but they weren't funny. He really wasn't good at teaching his material. He just talked and talked. It was so hard to pay attention.

Comment:

Classs is sooo boring, hard to stay focused. I feel bad because no one gets his jokes. No one talks in my class. It's only based on 3 tests and what he says is gunna be on the test isnt even relevant

Comment:

He can be very unclear, unapproachable, and boring. His lectures are usually just a way to expand on parts of the readings. If you take his class you must read. As long as you read his class is fairly easy. Kids who complain about him are the kids who didn't read and are mad cause they failed. Don't take this class if you aren't going to read.

Comment:

Hayden is ridiculous. He makes rude comments during class, isn't helpful at all, and doesn't care for the students well being at all. It's hard to understand what he says because he is a very monotone and slow speaking man. He doesn't take attendance at all and at times will repeat. This class is not worth it and he should not be teaching.

Comment:

I had a 1960's history class with him and It was actually pretty interesting. Yea his lectures are kind of boring sometimes, but we got to watch a bunch of movies almost every class.

Comment:

He is a great teacher and knows his stuff, but his style is hard to pay attention to. As with any 1 45 min lecture. If you pay attention, take notes, and do the reading you will be fine. Isnt that what youre supposed to do in college anyway?

Comment:

He is the most awful professor I have ever had. Hayden doesn't care about his students at all. He wants to give his lecture and get it over with. Next to nothing in his lectures are in his tests. His lectures were unclear, he skipped around way to much, and he didn't stay on topic. I passed using only what i learned in AP history in High School

Comment:

by far the worst professor at ksc. should not be allowed to teacher. i am a deans list student and involved in two honors societies- so if i am telling you that he sucks, he sucks. throws out **** comments every once in a while and thinks that people dont notice. ignorant man.

Comment:

Anyone who gave him a bad rating is probably some idiot frat kid. He lets you out early almost every class and throws in some sarcastic jokes that a lot of people dont seem to get because they are too stupid. No homework, no mandatory attendance, just read and study for the 4 tests. So easy, he's a fine professor. Anyone who disagrees is stupid

Comment:

Worst teacher I have EVER had in high school and college. He sits on a stool, and then proceeds to talk slowly and monotone for the whole lecture. He seems like he couldn't care less about what he's teaching or his students understanding of the material. I had to withdraw from the class, he was that bad. DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM!!!

I took black history class with him, he is a bit odd, but nice enough. I think he has quite an understanding of a lot of things, you just might not know it.

Comment:

Gimley ... you know, from LOTR ... well, he's a prof. here at KSC. He's a slow guy and rambles on about some of the dumbest crap most of the time. He doesn't have an attendance policy, but just show up every 3 weeks to take the hard exams. Just make sure you study. It's not to hard, but dont take it

I skipped more than half of his classes and ended up with an A/B and I didn't have to take the final. It was so easy. His lectures were very boring.
