Reviews of professor Jason Ball

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Awesome Professor. Genuinely cares about his students success. Very easy to talk to. His lectures are easy to follow, some are discussion based but he always makes sure you understand the material. Doing the homework definitely helps understanding material towards exams, so do make sure to complete those! Also be sure to take good notes.

Grade is mostly made up of the readings he assigns every week. As long as he can tell you did the reading you will get full credit, there was 1 exam and a final debate project. You can fail the test and still get an A in the class. Overall the class was easy but lectures were a little hard to get through, it's politics so it makes sense.

Lots of reading but the grade is almost all based on if you did the reading not if you understood it. The final is a group project but he grades softly.

Professor Ball is one of the best professors at OCC. Very easy going and knowledgeable, he's understanding and a real down to earth guy. There are homework assignments where you'll read the online textbook he provides and answer questions. Do them! You should be able to pass the class if you do. Highly recommend taking him if you have the chance!

PSCI188 was undoubtedly the best course I took at OCC. Professor Ball is the coolest professor, and they really understand how to get you to remember the material. Participation is apart of the grade as the class is half seminar. Since the class is modelled after upper division courses, I felt right at home when I transferred.
