Reviews of professor Jeffrey Coats

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
DON'T take Jeffrey Coats! The class is boring and gets off-topic! Attendance is mandatory, if you do not talk, there goes your grade. You have a 15-page paper no more or less, god forbid one thing is wrong and he will fail you. You have a 50-minute presentation in which he's on his phone the whole time. You'll probably be depressed, I am!

Will not lecture at all, his class is very group discussion based. I really enjoy Dr. Coats' class, but I'm pretty talkative and receive good participation grades. The 10-15 page essay is a little rough, but I am not in the Honors College and accidentally took an honors level FYS, so I don't think I was as prepared as I should've been. Overall good

Professor Coats is a very personable professor and leads a very laid-back class, the class itself is not hard and you will learn a lot about servant leaders and other interesting facts. Just show up to class and make sure to participate and you will get an A.

Dr. Coats was an amazing professor. He did not treat us like freshmen. He would lecture the first half of the class and then open the discussion to the class to share our opinions and pose critical thinking questions that really made me think. He is very personable and approachable. I would highly recommend taking him again.

Professor Coats is a very good teacher. His class brings out the important characteristics to grow as a person and leader. You do a presentation on a Servant Leader he gives you then you write a paper about someone you choose and do a presentation on that. Participation is a big part of the grade. Come to class and talk and your good.

I learned so much in Professor Coats' class. I had never even heard of some of the servant leaders we covered. He allowed the class to have discussions and did not lecture the whole time. The conversations were so interesting and I learned so much. He syllabus is lengthy, but everything I needed to know is right. He really cares about students.
