Reviews of professor Jay Brophy-Ellison

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Like most courses, there is very little involvement of the professor. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but thanks to the TA's it was awful. I felt like I was on a tightrope every time I had to submit an assignment for the class. The TA's are so harsh when it comes to grading and their feedback is so vague. I really struggled to make it through...

This class is pretty straightforward. Every week you'll read the required chapter, and usually do a quiz and an assignment for it. Sometimes there are other assignments added, and there is an occasional video due for progress on learning to juggle. There are several extra credit opportunities shown on the schedule, but read the syllabus in full ;)

Brophy gives students many chances to boost their grade up to an A, and I wish I had put more effort into getting an A. There are fun juggling assignments, coloring sheets, and a crafting project. I did not do the project or most of the juggling, still received a B. On a point system. Lots of extra credit at the end to boost you to the next letter.

I was not a fan of this course. It was difficult as is, and the professor doesn't even run the course, his TAs do. They are super tough graders for no reason. They'll take off points off for just about anything they can grasp. He has a lot of tedious assignments that really don't help you learn. I would avoid taking this. I didn't learn anything.

While I'm sure Dr. Brophy-Ellison's intentions are pure, I hated the structure of this class. Learning to juggle was a graded assignment. There were many coloring pages and a model project. I did not sign up for an art class. I also received points off on an assignment because I did not dot my i's; I have very neat handwriting.
