Reviews of professor Jacob Smith

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's a bad teacher who doesn't teach any of the material that's on the homework's and exams

Take this class if you have the chance. You'll learn a lot about stats and how to use R. Class is humanities/politics based, but information learned is very practical and applicable knowledge. Two midterms and a final lab based project. Smith is a wonderful professor that cares about his students. Loved this class.

Extremely strange individual who makes no effort to make his lectures interesting in the slightest. Does not allow you to drink water in class due to extreme Covid fear Purportedly a statistics class, but really a comp sci class and all coding. Assignments are plentiful and tedious. Do not recommend taking this class, especially without friends.

He didn't really dive into the content of the course; mainly just wrote down definitions on the board with a few examples. Simply put, his lectures were too wordy, when it would've been better to see more examples of topics (IMO at least). Overall, very easygoing and willing to help outside of class, he'll prob improve as the future rolls on.

Worst math teacher / professor I have ever had in my schooling career. Does not review material before exams or quizzes, and gives a very vague review sheet. He has even said in class to questions asked that "he is not the one to ask". Unreliable and everyone fails every quiz and exam.

Gives lots of homework and exams. However, he picks exam questions that do not show up in the homework or exam reviews. Also, he sets up the class where the exams are 45% of your grade and only ten questions each which makes it very difficult to pass.

Jake had a hard time teaching this class and had trouble sticking to his deadlines. He would have to push back exams due to his unpreparedness and because the class had trouble understanding his lectures. Also, he didn't post notes for sections that were going to be on an exam until the day before the exam. Overall I ended up teaching myself a lot.

Awful teacher, doesnt explain any new concepts and skips over important things, doesnt answer any questions and gives quizzes every week.

Even though I didn't have an interest in political science (from which he draws all his examples from and lectures about), I didn't find this class too difficult Two take home exams along with a group final project made going to lecture quite useless He also drops your lowest lab and problem set which benefits a vast majority of the. class

He's a super nice guy and none of the work is really all that difficult. However the class focuses heavily on group work for which you will have the same group all semester, even if they're incompetent. I ended up doing virtually every lab myself as well as the final project. Super easy A, but only if you have friends to take the lab with.
