Reviews of professor Jacobson Blomquist

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took Math 478 with him last Fall and it was so boring and pointless. He does not know the subject matter nearly well enough to be teaching it. He makes a lot of mistakes or just does not know what he is doing and is grading is very unclear and inconsistent. I would definitely recommend not taking his classes.

He is really not good at explaining things, so I had to teach the material to myself and rely heavily on the math help room. however, it's an easy math gened. weekly quizzes during the discussion section each week, and 2-3 homework due each week that are not so hard.

I don't understand the bad ratings. Don't listen to the other 371 review, he knows the material well & is receptive to questions. His class isn't hard if you do the book questions (more than the 5 he assigns for hw, but there are not too many per chapter); that is how I study for 371 and I expect to get an A. I don't get the hate, he's so nice!

Hes a nice dude and is good at explaining things and the discussion section is pretty valuable. The two issues are the hw feedback isnt great and the lectures are pointless because its just copied from the book. I only go to class because there are quite a few cute girls.

I highly recommend a class with this professor. He is very clear about what type of questions to expect on the exams beforehand, and the homework questions from the textbook are very doable and representative of the exams. He is very available outside of class and is always very willing and eager to help students. The tests are very fair

Hes really bad at explaining things and he just reads off the textbook. Would definitely not recommend him. You could learn better by just reading the book or just reading instructors from the internet

Great guy that is easy to talk to. However, you must teach yourself everything, as he simply writes word for word from the textbook for lectures. Large weekly problem sets, but luckily the homework problems are harder than the exams.
