Reviews of professor Jacob Benner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I've been taking Jake this semester and I think he's incredible. If you pay attention in lectures and do the study guides, you will do great on exams. He's super engaging and finds ways to show representations of the topics he's talking about. I wish I could take another one of his classes but it's my last science credit.

Interesting topic the lectures are good, but he makes everything extraordinarily complicated like it's a 400 class. So much work and complications, it makes it hard to learn.

Hes such a great guy. The class itself is really interesting and he does a really good job of inspiring you to keep learning about the content and to go beyond that.

I had Jake for EEP. I didn't think it was an extremely difficult class but I recommend going to class everyday, taking notes, and doing HW/assignments. A lot of the assignments were interesting and I learned a lot about things I hadn't heard of before. Willing to help and responds quickly. Grades were always in fast and had valuable feedback.

Most negative reviews aren't entirely accurate. Jake is a sociable, knowledgeable, caring professor. The exams are lecture-dependent, and there are multiple homework sets. The class is not overly complicated, or hard. Spend at the very least two hours a week studying and you will be fine.

He's so sweet and knows a lot about what he talks about, goes through lectures pretty fast but overall pretty easy

Even as someone who hates science courses, and even struggled to understand some of what he was teaching, I thought he was a great professor. You could tell he really cared about what he was teaching. Labs are graded based off participation which was great. If you are looking for a class to satisfy your science requirement, I recommend this one.

Jake was a great professor. He made the content very interesting and used a lot of IRL examples like silly putty and exploding sparkling water. There were a lot of lectures but they weren't too difficult to sit through. Homework-wise, there were just some assignments through smartwork but I didn't feel like it was too much. The labs also wasn't bad

I absolutely LOVE Jake. He was my favorite professor freshman year. I was struggling at first in the course, but he took time to work with me and make sure I felt better about the material before the test. He is genuinely so nice and I would take his class again if I didn't hate science.

Jake is really passionate about the topic he teaches and that definitely comes through in his lectures. For someone not super interested and taking the class to satisfy a requirement, it can get a little boring at time, just make sure to fill out the study guides as he goes. Exams are open note which is really helpful
