Reviews of professor Jay Gump

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
We could choose to take exams/final either in-person or on Zoom and all were open note. Two lab practicals: a lot of memorization but only 6% of your grade each. Would sometimes give extra credit for iClickers during lecture. HW 3x a week. Can be a lot of material but you're set up to succeed if you complete everything and with pretty easy grading.

To be honest, he's an okay professor. I personally think his lecturing is unorganized and a lot of information in one sitting. He oftentimes skips slides and flies through material. The one good thing about the class is that 70% of past lecture quizzes are on lecture exams, which is helpful to study and review. The labs aren't bad at all.

absolute gem. very eccentric and you can tell he just LOVES teaching this stuff. often makes the whole class stand up and high five their neighbor or stuff of that nature. If you really dont care enough to try, I can see his antics as annoying/over the top, but if you come ready to learn, 10/10. Great guy, also SUPER easy grader.

Homework was pretty light and simple, exams were pretty difficult although they were online.

This class is a lot of work and there are many components to it. If you stay on top of your work it is very manageable but lab practicals and lecture exams are difficult. He is difficult to follow in lecture and it is hard to fully grasp material so expect to do a ton of work outside of class.

Jay Gump is an amazing professor who has a genuine passion for Kinesiology. KIN 270 taught me a lot about the human body, overall it's a very good course to take if you're interested in this field.

Jay is super nice and cares about the topic and wants everyone to enjoy going to lecture. Some of the material is difficult but exams were open note and book. Attendance is not mandatory but he gives a LOT of extra credit for iclicker points. Overall the class was not super difficult and Jay tries his best to make lecture exciting

He rambles in every lecture and goes on about things not even closely mentioned in the hour long mcgraw hill readings. Prelabs take forever. Exams and quizzes were open note so they are easy to pass and he gave extra credit for iclickers but I just could not pay attention to his lectures for the life of me.

The homework I don't mind, its the fact that Jay really just reads from the slides, then will test you on information irrelevant to the slides but based in the textbook. Also, his exams are not bad, but he always has to omit questions because they were "worded funny" which I don't think makes a great professor. If you can, avoid his class.
