Reviews of professor Jason Porter

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Only complaint is that he teaches straight from Zybooks and the lectures are quite boring. Other than he is a great guy and is really knowledgeable and entertaining. If you know the basics of Python don't expect to learn anything for be stimulated by this class though, it is just Zybooks.

Porter is possibly the worse professor I have ever had. He simply does not teach. Zybooks gives you the code and you just copy and paste into android studio an ide that works about 30% of the time. His assignments are vague and he offers little to no useful feedback. Was clear to me that he does not know how to code. Avoid at all costs. Beware!!!!!

Pros: He's extremely knowledgeable, makes lectures interesting, very snarky, will let you make up one project at the end of the semester Cons: One of the hardest graders I have had in college, no syllabus, projects that will make or break your grade, tests that are hard and unforgiving, a lot of services that you will need to buy

Jason Porter is my favorite professor I've ever had. I have taken him again and again because of how much he cares about you learning as opposed to getting the grade. I took his Motion Design class and have learned so much from him! He notices if you're struggling and gives you the tools to do better. TAKE HIM!!

I enjoyed this class and professor and would have scored a higher grade if I went to class more often. he doesn't take attendance but has 4 pop quizes through out the semester that make up 10% of your grade. They are shorts and easy but I missed most of them. Overall good teacher and interesting class.

There were two pop quizzes in the beginning and tests are based on precise details and concepts learned in class. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you miss class you will be lost. Pay attention, go over your notes, and do the homework ahead of time. He offered a lot of extra credit at the end. Also cancels class often. Take him for a challenge.

I really loved Jason's class! He can come off as intimidating, but is really funny and willing to help when you ask questions. Lots of projects and you do have to buy the pricey Adobe Creative Cloud, but I learned so much. It can be difficult, but tests are not too bad if you pay attention in class and study! Take him!

Dr. Porter is a tough but caring professor. The material is hard but he is always available to help. Do the homework, prepare for the exams and you will be fine.

Whether or not you like Dr. P's teaching style probably says more about you than it does him. If you want to learn a ton, develop a deeper understanding of accounting concepts, & be more thoroughly prepared for a career - take his course. But such payoff will require a lot of effort on your part. If you want the easy route, take someone else.
