Reviews of professor Jason Patterson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
GRADING: PASS OR FAIL YOU NEED TO FIGHT FOR POINTS
SLIDES AND LECTURE: NOT HELPFUL AND WOULD GO OFF TOPIC AND TALK ABOUT HIS LIFE
LAB EXAM: OKAY
LEC EXAM: MULTIPLE CHOICE OKAY BUT SHORT ANSWER HE WANTS YOU TO BE SPECIFIC
TEACHING SKILLS: POOR NOT COMPASSIONATE WITH STUDENTS
SELF TAUGHT, BE READY TO FORM A GREAT QUESTION OR ELSE HE WONT HELP YOU

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lect exams based off PPs&old pearson book. Pay attention to what he spends alot of time in lecture. Free response for lecture exam must be very detailed so study all lecture slides. This class requires hours of studying so try not to take another science with this. Study all models & charts for lab exam. Don't be deterred he's a very nice teacher.

Cares about his students, but tends to go off topic. Takes his sweet time in grading. Get the book since lecture notes are vague. Curves only if class is not doing well. 1 extra credit assignment. Ask lots of questions and pay attention to the topics he emphasizes during lecture, it will most likely show up as an essay question on exam day.

SUPER cool professor, the semester consisted of 5 papers, 1 concert critique, and the final.

This class is pretty easy if you're taking it online. Even though he says to study 15 hours a week, you don't have to. Haven't opened the textbook much, just skimmed, used Quizlet for some Labsters and have an A right now. No extra credit opportunities however he's willing to help if you need extra study time.

Dropped his class because it was very hard. I constantly felt like he didn't want to help us. His exams were half multiple choice and short answers. Short answers need to be detailed or you won't get credit. Constantly said he had to learn how to study the hard way, and it feels like he would take it out on us by not curving or being considerate.

Was a really great professor, he's very passionate about the lessons and there were only three assignments the entire semester

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR FOR THE LIFE OF GOD this class is a set up for failure. Ur either gonna eventually fail or withdraw this class. If you take this class be ready to devote your entire life to it and probably still not get the grade u need/want. He's traumatized how hard life was for him in college so now he takes it out on his students.

I'm unsure why his reviews are so negative, as he is one of the most easy-going and approachable professors I've ever had. Everything on his exams/quizzes can be found in the lectures, and the labs are all straightforward. This might be an intro A&P class, but it's an A&P class nonetheless. Memorization and conceptual understanding are a given.
