Reviews of professor Derric Jacobs

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Jacobs is fabulous! He is respectful, kind, quick to reply to emails/messages, and truly wants to help the student learn. Class was well organized, with clear descriptions. No exams, weekly chapter quizzes, discussion boards, and a few really interesting papers. HIGHLY recommend this course and Dr. Jacobs! You WILL learn! SUPER course (a fav!)

Dr. Jacobs is amazing. I love his class so much. No exam no quizzes or anything. There are presentation though and 1-2 over paper thats it. Amazing lectures and lectures materials.

I was a little skeptical regarding the lengthy discussion posts with 2 initial posts post 2 responses, but this ended up being my favorite class! The instructions for assignments are clear/straight to the point. Not to mention, no exams just weekly quizzes which is a plus for me. There are a few essays but they are simple and interesting topics.

The class is very straightforward. Weekly discussions with two responses and use the given sources (with citations). There is also a weekly paper (1-2 pages) using the weekly readings. There are no exams except a final topic paper. Make sure you follow his instructions and include the readings in your work.

I really like the way he structures this class. Since its all online/asynchronous we didnt get the benefit of ongoing conversation with him but I suspect hed be great as in person professor.
