Reviews of professor Jason Porter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is the best CS professor that I've had. He is super knowledgeable, has great lectures, and does not judge you for asking questions (even if they're ones you should already know). His courses aren't easy, but they're upper level courses and this is college, they aren't supposed to be. Put in some work and you'll do great!

Very hard class but an amazing professor. The material was very hard but he will go out of his way to help you and make sure you understand the material. Grading is pretty tough but he is fair about it and uses a lot of feedback.

Dr. Porter gives the most brutal exams I've ever taken, but he's absolutely committed to helping students learn. He enjoys teaching and is always available for questions. If you watch the lectures, do the homework and extra credit, and attend office hours to get tips on the case projects, you will do fine. Text reading optional but read it anyway.

He was okay. I honestly didn't learn anything from him in class, he graded on assignments, participation, midterm, and final. If you just read the textbook with the definitions and understand the practices the class should be an easy A.

Half our class dropped after midterm so they wouldn't have to take an F, the midterm is also the first grade you will recieve. His lectures consist of him reading the textbook-slides and then asking a question about the slide to which only one person in the class will attempt to awnser (and get wrong)
TEST QUESTIONS ARE SHORT AWNSER

Jason's a great person. However, he knows this class is notoriously the hardest in the vis comm major and doesn't do anything to soften the blow of this class. I get his goal is to really teach you something, but his grading incredibly harsh and he uses a weird points system. No extra credit. Stay on top of the assignments if you want to pass.

Pay attention to the in class assignments, and get involved in class and that pretty much prepares you for the midterm and final. Class is structured so that a Research Paper is a significant portion of the grade. Make sure you use scholarly articles, format it correctly, and you'll be fine. Not a bad class by no means.

Worst experience from UNG, glad I'm transferring to Tech.

Excellent professor, cares about his students. On the other hand, his classes are very hard (csci3100). It was probably the hardest class I've taken. Other classes may be different. I would take him if you want to learn, but it will likely require you to put in a matched effort. Extremely intelligent and respected. Great professor!
