Reviews of professor Jamison Wolf

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Just echoing the most recent review. Students who are historically strong with math will be fine (and probably enjoy the lectures, which are well-explained), but students who struggle with math will find little sympathy in the course. The personality is a hard sell but generally overcome if you like math and a linear teaching style.

Professor Wolf is really good at explaining complex topics. I didn't have to teach myself anything in this class, which was really nice. He is really patient and is willing to go through practice problems if you go to office hours. He is passionate about what he teaches, which makes the lectures engaging. Overall a great professor.

Unfortunately, my experience with Professor Wolf's probability class was less than satisfactory. The explanations were often unclear and condescending. There was a lack of support in terms of clarifying doubts and offering additional resources for understanding. The pacing of the course was inconsistent.

Prof. Wolf does not even attempt to make an effort to help his students succeed. It almost comes across as though he hopes to create as many opportunities for you to fail as possible. Course was focused on memorization of distributions and not on comprehension of concepts. Overall the worst math professor I've taken at BC.

For some reason he gets a lot of hate on this site but Prof. Wolf is a very solid teacher. He explains the material well and gives very engaging lectures while setting clear expectations. Expect a lot of grades in the 70-80 range along the way, but keep in mind that he curves to a B, so you're gonna end up doing totally fine.

Took him for CALC1103. His teaching is average and not too confusing but nothing amazing either. Tests are hard and he's an ass when it comes to grading: literally no leniency and you practically need to simplify 1/1 = 1 if you want full credit. You won't fall asleep in class, but it seems like he is trying to lower your grade instead of raise it.

Not very empathetic and not very helpful to struggling students. If you have a good grasp on the material, you'll be fine, but if you're the type to have trouble with higher level math, Wolf is not the best professor for you.

Terrible Professor for Calc II. A ton of work, very condescending, and impossible exams.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Most condescending and aggressive professor I've ever had. Would advise anyone looking to take Calc2 to avoid him at all costs. He's extremely disrespectful, and doesn't care at all about his students. After missing class since I was in the hospital, I was denied an extension since "its not an acceptable excuse". DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS!

Worst math professor at BC. Almost half the class dropped after the first exam. I retook the class with a different professor and had a great experience. Stay away from any class Wolf teaches
