These other ratings are so harsh. John is a sweet old man he enjoys teaching and sometimes gets carried away because he is clearly very passionate about statistics. I love coming to lecture and hearing him teach. It is super beneficial and he will answer any questions in class and makes sure that students understand. 10/10 would recommend.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. By far the worst teacher I have ever had. Disorganized. Unclear grading criteria. Overall unable to teach the material. The textbook was also no help. I tried to stick it out and teach myself but all of my other grades ended up suffering because of it.

This is the worst class of my undergrad. I dont understand how he received tenure. Logan is past his time and needs to go. He shouldnt be tenured nor should he be allowed to teach any class.

Trust me, avoid. It's not worth the stress, unless this is the only class you're in. He's a nice enough guy, but you have no idea what you need to know until days before the exam. More like a history class than a soc class. More memorization than analysis.

If you want a monotone professor who talks to himself in class and forgets the curriculum occasionally, then John is the right person for you. He's a great guy to talk to outside of class but he is not qualified to teach this class.
