His class was probably the easiest class I have ever taken here at BSU. We have weekly assignments, but they are not time consuming in the slightest. He is very kind and willing to work with you if you struggle at all.

Professor Hayes Bohanan puts a lot of work into making his classes interesting. He gives great feedback and gives credit as long as you're putting in your best effort and show up to class. Very understanding and class is always so engaging, despite being online has lots of guest speakers from different organizations

Very intelligent, well-rounded man. As a teacher, not so much. He just wants to promote his ideals and LOOSELY ties that into a weak curriculum. Don't get me wrong, the things he is promoting are important, but very rarely related to the actual course. I guess you have to be somewhat of a narcissist to be a teacher. Easy A though, just show up.

Easy A. Usually a one page paper and a class discussion each week, and if you follow the simple guidelines he gives you a 100% on each. Very nice and chill guy.

Interesting online class. You have to participate in discussions on a bi weekly basis and it wasn't a hard class. Had to read The Lemon Tree and another geography textbook and write a small paper on The Lemon Tree.

Dr. Hay-Bo is wonderful. He is passionate about understanding climate change and the environment and can explain pretty much anything you need to know about it. He specializes in the geography of coffee and tea and how those industries affect world markets, so his classes are unique and personalized to those interests.

Dr. Hayes-Bo seems to be very active on campus. I am taking him as a online course and I don't recommend it. I certainly get the feeling he doesn't want to be bothered with online courses. Doesn't email back and every once and a while get an email saying something is due. Maybe better in person, but don't take his classes online.

Took his coffee class. I am sooo happy I did. He is an amazing person and professor. Wants students to succeed. I learned ALOT from him. You gotta pay attention as tests are detailed ( midterm and final) I would 100 percent recommend him. I wish I had taken him sooner than my last semester So I could take him again

Encouraging professor who was very fair on assignments and generous with grades! Very responsive to emails! Really inspired me to want to learn more about a subject that I didn't enjoy before. He wants you to learn, that's all!

The guys is extremely dedicated to his job and passionate about Geography. I took this Honors FYS to live in the Honors RLC and love it. We go on field visits to Brockton every class since it is a long block, and there is barely any work. The guy is very-well respected by all students. I am taking him again for a 1 credit. Everyone has an A.

Dr. Hayes-Boh is GREAT. I took his coffee seminar and since, he has recommended me for my current R&D internship and told me to take a class that is helping me get right on track for my future goals. I took this class because I had to, but learned a ton from him, even more than just coffee facts. The coffee tasting is great too. Highly recommended.

So here's the thing... Hayes-Boh is an amazing guy. He really is. But he is not an amazing teacher. His assignments are very vague and he doesn't really tell you what's going on until a few days before it's due. He is a very easy grader though, and he can be funny. I recommend trying him out once.

SOOOOOOOOO BORING. His class is such a waste of time. He loves to talk about himself and where he has traveled. Nothing about what your papers will be on.. But positive side he is an easy grader. He does take attendance so you have to suffer through his lectures

I have taken many classes with prof hayes-boh and he is the best teacher I have ever had. May not be the best in terms of communication but he will grade well and assign little actual work to pass in. great man! take his study tour class for winter term and be amazed.

This guy is awful. It's half way through the semester and I still don't know what's going on. He's not good at giving direction and never responds to emails, or questions. Note, he may be a better professor in person. But from my experience he's an awful web teacher. Don't give yourself the stress.

I never rate teachers, however Pfr. Hayes-Bohanan is GREAT! He LOVES Latin America and coffee, so he LOVES what he teaches. He brews coffee for us every morning so we can try different coffees from different parts of Latin America. It makes class seem social, interesting and fun! He uses decent books and movies that actually make an impact.Take HiM
