Reviews of professor Jason Gaines

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took JWST 1010 & 1020 with Dr. Gaines, and he's one of my favorite professors that I've had at Tulane. He's so enthusiastic & loves what he teaches. Very accessible outside of class & provides extra credit opportunities. About 2-3 essays per class, along w/ exams; we could write an essay (probably 5-7 pages) instead of taking the final.

Dr. Gaines is very passionate about what he teaches which makes the class extremely enjoyable. He is accessible outside class, understanding, flexible, and caring. Everyone loves him. I hope to take another one of his classes. His energy is contagious!

Dr. Gaines is a great professor who's lectures are typically engaging. There is a lot of reading in the class but he typically bases assignments off of lectures. His final is engineered to help your grade and demonstrate knowledge. One of my favorite classes of the semester and he teaches what he promises in the beginning of the year.

Professor Gaines is great. He cares about his students and as someone who took his jewish studies class as not a jewish person, I still was able to do well. He is caring and respectful and his lectures are interesting. The work is very manageable and I highly recommend him.

The kindest soul I have ever met. Truly cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. You learn about the Old Testament through an analytical lens and apply it to the real world. In one class we looked at Genesis and the NFL! Super interesting and unique. Dr. Gaines is respected and loved by all of his students. Above all he is patient.

Dr. Gaines clearly cares about and loves what he teaches which heavily impacts the nature of the class. He is patient, considerate, and always eager to help. Readings are discussed in class. Quizzes are taken outside of class. Fantastic professor.
