Reviews of professor George Jacobs

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr Jacobs has been caring, understanding, and super great during this transition online. It is clear he is still working on how to best run the class in an online setting however I feel like he is always willing to help and give slack where it is needed. Dr Jacobs is the reason I've decided to become a math major.

COVID flex term, was inperson, now online. Insists on homemade lecture vids, but take forever. Very behind. probably great inperson. Semidecent in response time, but I understand, he teaches multiple maths, plus kids. Extensions on hw due dates. Only at ch3, of 8 and semester ends next week. 1st test this week, then final. IDK how to feel about it

Worst Prof EVER. Doesn't post lectures, test solutions, or respond to emails. Is disorganized! You will fail & regret taking this class. goes back & worth, tells different students different things, & does not know how to manage a class. Test heavy: worth 84% of ur grade. Tests taken @testing center. failed to upload an exam. This Prof = Anxiety

Honestly he is a great teacher, his lectures are a little fast but even with that you should be able to understand it scans in all the notes he takes in class and uploads it to black board just incase you missed or want to read it again. ( Ill continue on the next one not enough characters to say everything)

Dr. Jacobs seems nice but is very slow to respond to emails and is very disorganized. If you're a self learner then he is probably a good professor for you but if you need a lot of guidance then maybe pick a different prof

Dr. Jacobs was one of the best teachers I've had. He was very much present during his somewhat loose lectures, and very quickly adapted his teaching to the needs of the class. He was always sure to remind us of the context within which all these facts and techniques are useful. He was also available and willing to help during office hours.

I would not recommend Jacobs to anyone. He teaches too fast, can't read his handwriting, and skips many steps. At one point he got 2 weeks behind his syllabus so our class was really behind. He does not give extra credit for going to the College Algebra Corner, and the tutors could not even solve his very few extra credit problems.
