Reviews of professor Jeremy Farrell

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Homework is due at 5 pm the day before class- this is only an issue when I have classes until 5 pm. On a few occasions, I submitted class reflections, only to see them ignored and entered as zeros. After asking about this, I was told that too much time had passed after submission & it could not be fixed- they are worth a large number of points.

Clear as to class expectations. Lectures were seldom unengaging or boring. Clearly wants his students to have a full understanding of the material so they can excel. If you pay attention in lectures, and study good notes you should do well. Quizzes often had some questions that seemingly came out of nowhere but were easy enough to do well overall.

Is not helpful or accommodating to mental health issues while himself being neurodivergent, and using it as an excuse to speak poorly of and degrade students. Class is not hard, but it is not worth your time to spend with him.

Dr. Farrell is one of my favorite professors at RPI! He's chill, funny, and nice, but also smart and really into the content which makes class enjoyable. Homework is to just read the book and exams are easy if you study. Fun research paper and presentation projects. He really cares about student feedback; if you have a concern, let him know!

Truly loves the class and what he's teaching. Takes in a lot of feedback and gets to know students. Can be energetic at times and excited about topics.
