This professor is very hard and confusing. he thinks that he is "preparing" you for future classes/grad school by being ridiculously hard, but instead he just makes you more and more confused and you dont end up learning anything

he sucks!! I'm doinf well in the class but i can't stand him.

He is really nice but the class sucks!! He thinks he is helping you but you end up totally alone with no help. He is SO self-righteous avoid him if you can

aweful

strongly dislike

absolutely horrible..never take him

The worst professor I've ever had. Yes, he jokes and seems having a good personality, but as a teacher he is terrible! If students don't understand what he'd just said he gets frustrated and asks a TA to do the job. Very hyper and agitated by simple things. Grading is unfair and has teacher's pets. Many students wander why he is still teaching.

He is not helpful at all! When asked to clarify something he would say "go back and read the book" and even after the fact the chapter was read and still had questions he would completely disregard the fact that i was confused. Not helpful and very arrogant!

AWFUL! Wouldn't recommend him. He is by far the worst professor I have ever had in my 4 years of college. He does not take attendance but told me I was absent even though I was there and was planning on failing me although I completed all of my assignments. I had a legitimate illness at one point and he worked against me. He is a nightmare.

Too much of a tough grader, even on the extra credit. He doesn't give helpful feed back other then "needs more details." Will never ever take him again. He gave 27 videos for us to watch in a matter of a few days and expected us to write a discussion on it and include details from each and every video... I can see a few videos but not 27, be real.

Overall Professor Escoto knew what he was talking about. That does not mean that he was a good professor. This was my first class in my three years at Eastern that I had to put on credit no credit. At the end of the semester, I did not even compete the final because there was no point, I was not going to get credit for the class.

took his class intro to the psych major. Gives homework and grades it very unfairly. He seams to pick favorites. rushes you or seams to get mad when you ask questions. might be funny but crappy professor. unfair grader. One of the worst teachers and Im saying that because I'm very hard working student who was not given credit were credit is due.

Professor Escoto is incredibly intelligent, but is one hell of a tough grader. Gives an assignment after every lecture which requires way too much work for a one credit class. To make matter worse he grades incredibly unfairly. There were so many assignments I believed I should have gotten an A on but instead found myself looking at an 8 out of 10.

Worst teacher at ECSU. Acts like he cares about student but in reality he could not care less. He says he wants you to pass but makes it EXTREMELY difficult to do so. He tells you to go to his office hours yet will not help you and rather just makes you feel stupid and little.

It was my biggest mistake to take his class as a summer class. He's a very hard grader, had zero empathy for things that happen in your life, and I've been told he enjoys making students cry.

DONT TAKE THIS PROF FOR BEHAV SCIENCE STATS! THIS IS A WARNIG! By far the RUDEST hardest prof. Multiple times there have been test answers marked wrong that were correct on my quizzes,but don't ask questions bc all you will get is "can't tell you. what do you think" for EVERYTHING. clearly if im askng questions to LEARN I NEED HELP THATS Y IM HERE!

The first day of class he will charm you with his humor and lightheartedness. DONT LET THIS FOOL YOU. He makes things extremely hard to pass, can't count how many times I've cried bc he has made me feel stupid. He even emailed multiple people in my class saying they should consider a different major because they're not good at psych. messed up.

By far the worst professor I have ever taken at Eastern. Extremely rude and not willing to help students understand the material further than what he says on the powerpoints. Quizzes almost every single week and does not give partial credit. Very tough grader, if you skip class a lot you will not do well in this class.

Not clear during class, talks AT you not to you. Says he's explained things well enough and will tell you that when you go to him for help. Does not give partial credit. Not lenient with assignments. Difficult to approach, makes you feel stupid. I had constant anxiety in every single class. "wants to help" but said he couldn't help me after day 2.

Very unhelpful, would read my emails and just not respond. Refused to answer questions, would say "I already explained that" or "figure it out." Unfair grader, if he marked my right answer wrong on a test and I asked him to correct it he would get mad at me. Not nearly enough time given on quizzes. Made me feel stupid for not understanding things.

by far the worst professor at eastern. He is extremely hard and offers no help further than what he says ONE TIME. We are expected to write a research paper with absolutely no guidance besides what he mentions once in class. If you ask for clarification, you wont get it. its frustrating bc every student wants to succeed but its impossible

I got A's in every other class this semester except this ONE CREDIT CLASS. I put in 8 hours of work on an assignment and send it to him to get the only feedback as "needs more detail". All I learned in this class is how he dropped out of highschool to smoke weed.

Doesn't care about students. Doesn't answer questions when asked, just makes students feel bad for not knowing/gets audibly frustrated with them for not understanding. Gives 'homework' due the same same day an hour after it is assigned. When grading takes points off for every little thing. Unclear about expectations but acts like he's being clear.

Doesn't care about students, and rarely answers questions even when he prompts us to ask them. Isn't clear about expectations, then grades harshly and doesn't explain why he gives the grade. Outright rude to students that can't meet his abstract expectations and acts like he's doing us a favor by even showing up to class. Worst professor I've had

By far the worst professor I have ever had. He is apathetic, condescending, and rude. He has 'homework' that's a quiz due an hour after class. He belittles students and makes them feel stupid to the point that they quietly cry in the middle of class. His grading criteria is illogical. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR.

The feedback he gives makes no sense, he moves way too quickly during lectures, the median of my class was a 60 and basically everyone failed. There is absolutely zero way to pass his class outside of pure luck. The answers on tests must be worded EXACTLY as he wants them to even if they are super specific or not studyable outside of class.

Genuinely worst professor I have ever encountered in my life. Emphasizes detail but no amount of detail is ever enough. He gives templates for some assignments and when you follow them you still fail. Gives literally no feedback ever so you don't even know why you failed the assignment. Do yourself a favor and never take a class taught by him.

Please, if you have the ability to don't take this professor! He isn't worth it. I've had him for three different classes and each time I wished I had another professor teaching me. He does not try to work with you, he is way too strict (coming from an over achiever and perfectionist here!). The majority of students do not get good grades from him.

If I could give this professor a zero I would he is one of the worst professors I've ever had in my life and if you have the chance to not take his class do it. He will give you bad grades on literally everything and not explain to you why it's bad or what you can do to improve it for the next assignment. He will belittle you as well.

Professor Escoto was a nice guy, but had unrealistic expectations for the class. First being giving us 40 minutes to complete quizzes/ tests. The material in the tests and quizzes were based on what he said in class and little from the textbook. He did not give us a chance to understand our mistakes so you would just get poor grades.

the worst professor/teacher ive ever had, makes me depressed

The less than 10% "would take again" statistic should tell you all you need to know about this professor. With my own awful experiences with him in two classes, and from the ones I read on here, I'm shocked that he still has a job here. Avoid taking his courses at all costs. It is well known by psych students at Eastern that Escoto is the worst.

I had an F in the class early on (still possible to pass) and stayed up all night studying for the first exam. When I went in to take it, he pulled me into the hallway and told me not to because my grade was so low. I told him I studied a lot and he simply did not care. Retook the class with a different professor (Cousins) and got an A-.

This class was by far the worse class I have ever taken, at eastern and throughout my entire academic career. He was extremely unprofessional in his conduct with our class, and was rude and unhelpful, in addition to insulting us to our faces and making fun of us for asking questions. He had very unclear instructions and was an extremely hard grader

His instructions are so unclear and contradictory. His modules make no sense, and lectures are outdated so it doesn't connect to the rest of the assignments actually posted to do. Extremely hard grader even on the extra credit assignments. Very upsetting and never, ever again.

Worst class I've taken. Zero feedback on the grades he gave and when I asked for feedback and how to improve he didn't answer. Amount of questions on tests increased and were on more content each week but same amount of time was given (not a enough time). Directions on assignments were confusing. Class average was a 60 so I think that says enough.

He makes it so easy to ask questions and feel confident leaving the classroom that you know what he is teaching. The issue comes with the assignments and grading. Although the work looks simple, it takes HOURS and he expects a ton of detail. He gives little to no feedback yet is a very harsh grader, it is near impossible to know what to improve on.

This professor is unfair and not logical. This class took up my ENTIRE life. He gives no feedback and grades unfairly. Many of his assignments are not clear and take HOURS to complete. I am an A student and I got a C+ in his class. I did extra credit when time allowed. He actually grades you on attendance on online class - ridiculous!

I had Escoto for a one credit class. He would mass grade all assignments with no feedback. When asked why I got such low grades, he said I had to give him less work. I was still getting low grades and he told me to give him more work. He also would not accept my doctors note when I missed a few assignments due to having a severe ear infection.

He tries to penalize you for absences even with a doctors note, his grading makes not sense. He will not try to find a way to work something out with you if you missed a class or don't understand something, he will simply just tell you to go back to the book and read or instead go see the TA.

I had him in Fall of 2020. He was tough and unreasonable. I ended with an A, but there were assignments I lost points on when even the TA said they looked correct. I hadn't left a review before, but now I've graduated and multiple friends have told me that he blatantly ignored their accommodations and ridiculed their disabilities.

Escoto was a horrible professor to have. His "feedback" was nothing more than "this is incorrect" and "apa is wrong." No explanation was given besides that. I submitted my papers to multiple professionals who do Stats and APA every day, and even to two AI sites to make sure it was good. He failed every single paper with no explanation.
