Reviews of professor Jacob Smith

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Yeah, echoing other comments. Those covid precautions were... wow. Class has a lot of group projects. Otherwise, I've never had a more boring lecturer. Overall, material is not too bad, and is generally useful. Take this class with another professor if you can, though.

Mr. Smith really cares about his students. He noticed a lot of us were struggling with the material and made an effort to ask us for feedback and changed the way his notes were set up for us. His class is pretty lecture heavy, but it's an easy class if you put in the effort outside of the classroom.

This is honestly the worst math professor I have ever had. Spends most of class going over things that don't apply to the homework or tests, making us have to learn the material on our own in order to do the ridiculous amount of homework that gets assigned every week. Would avoid him if you can.

While he definitely could have diversified the statistical applications (every single example was about politics/elections which I found pretty boring), Dr. Smith was a really nice professor and definitely cares about his students.

Good professor who is easily accessible at all times. Class is sometimes difficult, but he'll make sure he sees you through.

The projects and labs are more time consuming than they are difficult. You have one group that you stick with the whole semester, so if they suck then you're screwed. Professor Smith is very understanding and gave many extensions and grace periods. He was also very accessible outside of class. I think it's a good class to take!

Jacob is very knowledgeable and passionate about Stats, and specifically about elections and election polling. He is very interesting. Definitely get to know him.

lectures are kind of useless, he fills in the notes he posts online later and usually messes up notes in class. but hes chill, good at answering questions and pretty understanding. gives practice exams which is always nice. pretty good at explaining the concepts and is willing to work with the class if everyone is having a hard time.

Jake Smith is the best Calc 1 teacher. Lots of notes, hard exams, a tough course in general. However, Smith is the best teacher for this subject. Do the WebWork homework and take-home quizzes with classmates and it will be easy. DO NOT GET THE TEXTBOOK. Study hard for the exams.
