Reviews of professor Jamie Atkinson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I found a lot of use out of his class. I will say that the professor is clear about his views but does not let that hamper and honest conversation in class. His organizational structure, emphasis on class discussion, and way that he assigns papers is fairly easy as long as you pay attention and read the material. MSU has a good professor.

I have a lot of respect for Dr. Atkinson. He taught a very interesting class. There's a lot of reading for lecture participation, but it wasn't always overwhelming. He talked about a lot of controversial things, but conducted those discussions in a very good manner. I disagree with almost everything about his personal choices, but respect his class

Class structure is great, only graded two papers this semester. If you differ from his very one-sided views you won't feel comfortable in his class. Thinks all students who disagree with him are "close-minded." Just try to get through this class if you are at all conservative. He's a good guy, but I would have avoided his class if I could. Easy A.

Super nice guy. Only have three papers and no tests. Love his class. He is super passionate about teaching and shares his experiences with the class.

He is a  very good professor who is very respected but also gives that respect back to the students. The class has 5 total assignments that are very easy and as long as you put it effort you will get full points. The class is discussion based and everyone is involved with the conversation so it isn't just him talking the entire class.

He's awesome! He doesn't believe in tests so you'll never have to worry about that. There are three papers on the class and that's your whole grade. It's pretty easy. He assigns a lot of readings but skimming them has worked for me. He's awesome.

Jamie is GREAT! He is very easy to go to if you have issues in the class & understands that students have more going on than his class. The structure of the class is very conversation lead so you will need to read at least part of the readings. He takes attendence but as long as you submit all the required work you should get a good grade.

Dr. Atkinson keeps his class interesting and engaging. The class is more of a discussion and the papers are not difficult with a little bit of effort and reading. He is very understanding that his students are humans too. I enjoyed his class.

In person classes probably would have been a better experience. His problems with zoom, frequent class cancelations, and very heavy reading assignments made this class more of a self taught course. He knows his content and can really discuss materials in depth but lectures were lacking. Only graded on three papers and participation. Book required.
