Reviews of professor Jacob Duncan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Entire class is based off his unfinished textbook that's been 5 years in the making. He's never prepared, just reads straight out of the textbook. Assigns lecture videos, but goes over the same thing during class. Supposed to do homework with a group during class. No credit for the day unless a problem is done within the remaining 5 minutes.

He has us watch lecture videos in advance to classtime and expects us to remember the hour videos enough to apply it. I have class before so its not like i can just watch the video right before class and remember it all. I have to watch them way in advance and then I forget. I love that he has us work in the same group every day though

I took the summer class that was only a few weeks long. There was daily homework that wasn't graded and the answers weren't given, making it difficult to know if you were doing things right/wrong. The only graded item was a final exam that was printed out and scanned to be submitted. Very nerve-racking having no idea how you're doing in a course.

He is a good person and is very laid back, but the class material was a mess. It was obviously there was no concrete class structure and he only got through about a half of the class material before the end of the semester. Participation is worth more points than the actual homework. He seemed lazy and if he didn't feel like teaching he wouldn't.

Duncan's class is super easy. The only things graded are group work each week and the exams. If you show up and do the group work you'll get 100%. The exams are not hard and you get a full page of notes. The class is boring bc he lectures on the same stuff as the prerecorded videos, but overall the class is easy.

He's a bro. All homework is done in class with a group. Makes things very straightforward while also relating it to climate change. Tests are the same as the study guides just different numbers. Easy easy A - just go to class.

This was the easiest class I have ever taken. I learned absolutely nothing new from what I learned in high school. He is a super nice guy but tbh I don't think he knows what he is really doing yet. His examples and lecture are super scatter brained and unclear. His test questions are the easiest problems. Most days I was in class for 20/120 mins.

He is so nice and the most chill professor.

Be ready for no lectures in class. He only gives video lectures to watch outside of class which are 45 minutes to an hour long. Group work is easy as long as someone in the group knows whats going on.
