Reviews of professor Jared Simard

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Jared really cares. Only prof who knows your name without having to look at a sheet. weekly journals are the main HW along with the reading. Just skim the readings. Midterm project is a project, so is final. He's a funny dude, rarely dread this class. Just make sure you make a comment here and there and participate. Take him- you'll get an A - B.

Probably my favorite professor from the whole semester. He made class pretty easy where you didn't even have tests just a few projects. The hw is very manageable where it should only take around an hr max to finish everything. He's also really funny and clearly likes to teach.

I loved having Professor Simard! It was the class I looked the most forward to. Grade was based on weekly journals, a couple of written assignments, a midterm project and a final! We had more freedom with the final. As long as you do the readings, you will be fine. His lectures are interesting and the discussions help with the weekly journal.

His class is a joke. He can be insensitive and just blabs, isn't interesting. Ultimately, he gives alot of busy work that he never ended up gradding. Got a final grade but still had 30+ ungraded assignments... Easy A but awful professor

Such a nice and caring professor, someone who's very passionate about what they teach.

Simard's very lively and his lectures are very entertaining. The essays were on interesting topics and some of the assignments involved going out into the city for inspiration. He's very opinionated however and likes to debate with students. There were a lot of group projects with short deadlines, but the grading was pretty easy.

Fine. Would not take again. Extremely annoying. Readings and journal/ entry ticket every class. So unenjoyable, boring, gives annoying work and group projects. Easy A and he is very nice. Just regular would not take again but if no other option hes not a bad one. Also no electronics which really bothered me. He wants you to talk so much and engage.

You're graded on weekly journals and no actual tests just easy projects. He's funny and sassy which made me enjoy the class more. He's definitely opinionated but it just made for more interesting class discussion I think lol. Take him!!!
