Reviews of professor Jason Stoke

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor refused to zoom to help go over questions, would only email. My dad passed away during the quarter and after missing 2 weeks of school and an exam he told me no exceptions, I couldn't make up the homework without a late penalty and I couldn't make up the test (lowest one gets dropped but I mean still, the man literally has 0 empathy).

Everybody knows that physics is based on concepts. Physics is NOT A MATH CLASS!! Dr. Stoke needs to follow the example of his colleqes and have CONCEPTUAL based multiple choice exam questions. Leave the math to the math classes!

Slightly annoying but knows his stuff and can explain most things at an OK level. Little HW. Exams and HW were closely related and were ridiculously simple.

Over-glorified babysitter, he's just paid to sit there, not teach anything and watch students struggle. He refers to answering student questions as "pre-grading", doesn't help students as needed. The amount of work for a single credit lab class is absolutely ridiculous. Avoid taking if possible.

His lab isn't too difficult and he knows that the lab instructions are outdated and not that great. His quizzes that you take after lab are frustrating because its only 4 questions but 100pts, making it super easy to fail.

I don't normally write reviews, but I feel my experience in Stoke's class warrants the warning I'd like to give to future physics students. Lectures and homework will not prepare you for the complexity of the exam questions in the time allotted. I highly recommend taking a different instructor. Sincerely, a 3.7 GPA student that had to withdraw.

Compared to Syphers, Stoke comes across as a little inept, disconnected from students, uninspiring, etc. Lectures aren't useless, but aren't that great. Almost EXACT correlation between HW and Exam problems. Very annoying way of going about things. Uses Canvas for recordings only (non-synch class). WebAssign. Barely follows any textbook.

I just discovered Rate my Professor and I am glad I did. I have to warn future students about Stoke. I actually wanted to say something on March 4th because that was our test day. All I need is an answer key and he just gives tips and advice I cant pass his tests if I dont have answers
