Mr. Hyer is a good and very easy teacher, but he tells some of the same stories over and over. Sometimes he rants, but he always gives test reviews with every question and answer.
He is very easy. His tests are just as the review sheet that is given. They are even in the same order.
mr. hyer is a great instructor. humanities can be quite dry but he does his best to make it interesting. good videos and your notes are your gordan rule! no papers to write, unless you want extra credit.
He is a very intellegent man with alot to say. He is one of the smartest men I have ever met in my life, and I feel previliged to have known him.
he is a very good teacher. makes you do a journal for your gordon rule which is ok with me.
someone who is concerned with the concepts, the ideas not just the tests. enlightened, encouraging and leaves a lasting impression(i took him 3 sem ago)take him over anyone else
Take this professor! He will change the way you look at life! He is quite a character which will make the course seem less like school and more like recess!
Very Good. Very Easy. Just be in class all the time and take notes.
He's great. He is strait to the point delivering everything that you need to know for the test! And that's all that matters, right! We love you Hyer!
This instructor is one of the most helpful instructors at SPC, if you don’t do well on tests just come up and talk to him, he'll allow you to do papers and boost up your grades, all you have to do is try and you will pass this class!
the best teacher at spc. very intelligent,funny, and entertaining.
the best expirience in college! never met a more intelligent man. I'ld take the class again just to learn more of everything else he has to say.
THIS IS A GREAT TEACHER!!HE CLASS IS EASY, I SUGGEST YOU TRY TO GET IN HIS CLASS BEFORE ANY OTHER TEACHERS CLASS. I HAVE SMITH FOR HUM I AND SHE IS TO HARD.TAKE HIM!!!!!!
excellent professor. Knows what he is talking about. I am a biology major and i liked this humanities class. Study reviews and you cannot go wrong on the test
This is a nice teacher his class is easy only if you study the study guide which is the test!!!!!
Though he has great stories his teaching style is to ramble on and on, emphasized with experiences and such. It gets boring when he is in the book (or not)if you need structure, this is not the class for you. Make sure to show up when he reviews the study guide... it's the test! :)
The best teacher at SPC, need not say more,go for it.
This class was a breeze with Mr.Hyer. He tells you exactly what you need to know, and gives you a study guide for the test. He is a corney funny kinda guy, but you may fall asleep sometimes, but you'll pass.
Excelent, easy
wow! This is very easy class, easy A.
Highly recommended teacher! Makes class fun and also gives you a study guide a few days before each test. He even goes over the answers on each study guide. You will have to write in your daily journal every time you meet in class and he does check it! This is for the gordon rule. No final essays
VERY EASY CLASS...EASY TO COMPREHEND, FUN TEACHER, VERY FUNNY AND AN EASY A!!!!
Very easy class, tells you evrything thats on the test. Loves to invite you to his operas and is easy on his grading system.
3 things to get an easy A in this class: show up for class to get the answers to the study guide, memorize the study guide, do your journal.
An easy A
If you are interested in humanities and you want to learn do not take him,if you want to get an easy A go ahead.
Easy "A" but the class should be called "The World According to John Hyer" Do your Journal!
If you can't get an A with Mr. Hyer you have to be a complete moron!!! Very interesting class, Mr Hyer has a lot to say and if you pay attention you will learn a lot. Extremly funny and also he's very passioned about classical music. I would recommend getting a seat in one of his classes early because they are always FULL!
He is a great teacher... although once he tends to go off track sometimes with odd/funny stories. I highly recommend Professor Hyer. I learned a lot and as long as you write a page or two in your journal and study his study guide (aka... the exact test!) you will make an A!
I have taken Hyer for all of the humanities courses and have gotten 3 VERY easy A's. He's a great guy who loves to talk. He gives you the study giude and goes over the answers. Memorize it!! Do your journal and come to class with something to do b/c it goes by very slow. Take him!!
Great teacher and excellent personality. I've taken him for 2 humantities classes and got an A both times. He makes you keep a journal that you can write about anything in and gives you the tests questions and answers word for word. Definately recommended. :o)
Mr. Hyer is awesome. I wouldn't consider him "hot" but he's a cute old man. He's a great teacher and you can tell that he enjoys the work he does. I had him for humanities 1 and had to take him again. I recommend Mr. Hyer.
He is an awesome teacher. His study sheets are the test and all you have to do is keep a neat journal and show up to class. He is very interesting and funny. You won't be sorry if you take him, an easy A!
very easy A....his review sheets are the test! The journals are an easy A..just take notes out of the book. I plan on taking him again.Lectures can be a bit boring if ur not interested in humanites...TAKE HIM NOW!!! Guaranteed A if u study the review sheet.
Easy and fun. The hardest things in his class is writing the journal and trying to remember all 100 answers to the test.

he's da bomb need an easy teacher than you should take him!!!!!!!!!!
Hes a laid back teacher. He doesn't like when you talk while hes talking or taking roll. Theres only three tests's that are 100 question, but the review he gives u the answers which is the test. If u study that you will do fine.
Easy teacher, just talks a lot so you will be bored, but it is a super easy A! Study the review and do your journals and you CANNOT fail!
VERY EASY CLASS, JUST WRITE IN YOUR JOURNALS EVERYDAY, MAKE SURE YOU ARE THERE FOR REVIEWS AND YOU WILL DEFINATELY GET AN A. GOOOOO HYER!!!
Great teacher. Layed back and easy class. STUDY GUIDE IS THE TEST!(and in same order too) and he goes over answers the day before! I hear the other humanities teachers require you to go to museum, but not Hyer. NOT 1 REPORT the entire class! Just keep a journal write what was went over on about 1 page each day... counts as all written work!
Very easy teacher. If you do your study guide, you will earn an A. Come to class, relax and have fun.
THIS DUDE IS AWESOME! VERY AWESOME! JUST SHOW UP, SHUT-UP, DO THE STUDY GUIDE AND GET AN A! AND HIS WIFE DRESSES HIM PRETTY CLEAN. I LIKE HIS BOW TIES! FRESH!
BEST TEACHER EVER! EASY A AND HE IS HILARIOUS! TAKE HYER IF YOU NEED THE CREDIT. I TOOK HIM TWICE AND GOT A'S
Great professor,easy class, just pay attention and do the study guide and journal and you'll do fine. This is not a subject that I am particularly interested in but the instructor is nice, very helpful.
Very easy class. The sudy guide is great b/c it is you real test. He will go over it twice (100 questions). Tk tests any time U want. But remember to turn in your journal 3 times.

VERY funny and nice! Easy A. Just write a lot for his journal and study the study guide he gives you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
His class is so easy. All you have to do is write a journal on his lecture each class day, and study the review sheet for the test.
He is easy, i found his lectures a bit boring, but a funny teacher. He really knows his stuff and explains it well. his test reviews are the test in a nut shell. if you fail his class you should try harder.
Easy going. Funny to listen to, if you want to take an easier humanities class then i would recommend him. Show up, study for his test( he gives you the text questions and answers) write the journals. and you will be fine
EASIEST HUMANITIES CLASS EVER! He gives you the questions and answers for the test, I recomened making flash cards of the questions and keywords to the answers because all you have to do is memorize what he gives you. I recieved a A and it was sooo easy. I hate humanities, but he made it not so bad.
Easiest A all semester. Memorize the answers he gives you for the pretests, and the tests will be easy 100's, except when he cant make his own scantrons :) The journal is pretty easy, just dont wait until the last minute to do it.
WONDERFUL PROFESSOR. HAVE HAD HIM FOR 2 CLASSES NOW AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. EXTREMELY FAIR AND HELPFUL, GIVES YOU EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED. HE'S THE BEST.
This guy is great...he's nice although sometimes boring and overbearing but this is the easiest A possible. Just write a journal for each class (regurgitate what he says) and memorize the test reviews before you take the test (in the same order and everything). Take him...seriously!
Wow, he is the easiest teacher ever, the only thing you have to do is show up in class and do your journal, (but the class is very boring) take him!! very very easy
Excellent teacher!!! Very easy and fun!
Simple class. Very boring, but stick with it and it's a guarenteed "A". I highly recommend.
AWSOME!! he is so nice and funny and just makes this class so enjoyable. His lectures can some time go off topic but he is very easy to listen to. Almost like listening to a good story tel1ler! everyone should take him
Mr. Hyer is a wonderful teacher and would highy recommend him for humanities...I love to hear him teach and lecture because if you dont understand him he will make sure you do before u leave this course. Make sure you attend and do your journal otherwise you won't get the grade youu want.
Prof is the bomb. Very laid back and interesting professor. Just keep up on your journal and you will get a good grade. Highly recommended above any other instructor that teaches humanities. Take him you will enjoy...
This class was a piece of cake. Attendance isn't mandatory. As long as you get your two or three journals completed and NEAT, you will definitely get an A. I took him for East-West Synthesis and Western Humanities 2 and got A's in both classes WITHOUT a textbook. Provides review that is exactly like exams. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Greatest. Highly reccomended for everyone and anyone. No stress environment. Journal and tests determines your grade. Tests can be passed by anyone who trys. He does not waste time covering every little thing in the book. Lecture are fun and interesting. Do not take his class if you want to ask questions. Just let him perform his magic.
very good teacher! didnt have much interest @ first but slowly i started 2 like his class.very easy&gives study guides to each test
Highly recomended. He is so knowledgable. Some times I would hear what he had to say about stuff then I would hear the same stuff on the History channel. Take notes. Turn in your journal. Show up for the study guide reveiw = A.

He was great. When I first took Humanities I took it with Cory Hall and it sucked. That was the worst class I ever took. Then I took Mr. Hyer class in the fall of 08 and I actually learned a lot. He makes it very interesting. I really enjoyed myself. Complete your journal and attend the Midterm and Final Review you will do great. he does give lots
If you need to take a HUM class take Professor Hyer he's wonderful. Keep your journal up and attend the test reviews you will do fine. He's so sweet, I heard he is a good singer, but he wouldn't sing for us. :( lol
3 journals, midterm and final. gives a review for both test. questions are identical and in same order. you do not need the book. if you do not pass, lol, it is your fault. for the journals, all you do is write one page about whatever we talked about... or didn't talk about lol. u can write whatever. oh, btw, i got an A.
Prof. Hyer's classes are only lectures and sometimes movies. Can be dull, but his exam reviews are identical to the exams and he goes over them in class. Journals are so simple, you can write about anything. Easy, easy A.
His class is an easy A. He almost never uses the text and the grades are just a Journal, 2 tests and a final. All you have to do is pay attention for about the first ten minutes of class and take notes on it.
Great Instructor, easy class just pay attention to his lectures and read the textbook.
This teacher is the best, a easy A and all you have to do is pay attention and take notes for your journal and you will do fine. The test he gives comes straight from his reviews, so there is no reason to fail unless you are just lazy.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! SIMPLE AS THAT, EASY A
He is by far the best. So funny and always has a great attitude. if you study for test youll do fine, take notes but not bullet notes, everything must be in paragraphs. Youll never regret
I really enjoyed coming into this class. All we did was watch movies about the subject and write a journal of what we learned that class. He is quite sarcastic but in a funny way. Hardly use your books. He gives the answers to the study guide which is just like the test.
This class was horrible and awful to get through. Not only do I have no idea what I learned I can see why everyone takes him. If you are just taking a class to score an easy A then this is your class, but those of us that have a brain cell are bored to tears and cannot sit there for a whole semester doing nothing. Very discouraging! Nice man.
He is an EASY teacher but tends to get off subject REALLY easy!!! If you are looking for an easy A take his class but if u want to learn... you might want to take another teacher. He is well informed about things but he goes off subject to much.. NICE MAN tho..
Awesome class and amazing teacher. I learned a ton from him! He will work with you if miss something and is a very bright man. He tries to give as many A's as possible and with the tests coming right from the review, there is no reason you should earn any less than an A+.
Honestly he will talk forever if he could because he knows so much. He didn't really teach based on the book. He teaches off the top of his head. Shows many videos. You have to write journal everyday. Test is right from the study guide he gives you. Funny man! EASY A!!!
He is a very cool teacher.Easy A.,
Easy A! He will talk forever because he knows soooo much but he's really nice & educated. Write a journal everyday about anything he talks about which is a lot, study his reviews that are exactly like the tests & be there. His class can be boring because he talks the whole time but if you want an A, take.
I did not learn anything from professor Hyer's lectures, he gets off topic and talks about things that are totally irrelevant. The only time I learned anything in the class was from the videos that he shows, which is almost 70% of the time. This class is deffinitly an easy A if you don't care about earning your grade. So easy to pass.
He is a great teacher, knowledgeable, funny, respectful, and has a lot of passion about the subject. He does lecture a lot and shows a lot of videos that are interesting. I loved his class and would take him again.
Best teacher I've ever had. Lectures are interesting, he's so chill. I loved this class.
You have to write a journal for each day in class about anything he said during the lecture. He's not very clear in what he wants you to write about and doesn't even know what feedback to give you if you get a low grade. His lectures are super long and boring, and when he's not talking, he puts up a documentary.
Super sweet professor, very simple to pass this class. No homework
Terrible teacher, don't even think about walking up to him if he has just sat down because he's incredibly rude. I walked up to turn in a paper and he said, "Do not grace me with your presence even if you have questions." I have never had so much disrespect from a teacher.
He's Amazing.. Took WHI and WHII
