Reviews of professor Alexander Jones

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Boring content, papers are fine assignments, but quizzes and final exam ask you to know a ridiculous amount of semantic information. It all just blends together because it is boring and presented in a pretty unorganized manner.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Boring lectures. TA grades papers (3 total, all of increasing length). Final exam was cancelled because TAs are on strike. Overall not great or very interesting at all. Jones is a harsh grader but it's supposed to be the TAs who grade (toughness varies). Wouldn't take or recommend. Readings are dense and overall not engaging. Texts & ideas is meh

Professor Jones is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met. He is passionate about what he teaches. The slides he makes are great and informational, and he posts them on brightspace. During lectures, he would explain concepts in the slides, so all you need to do is listen and maybe take some notes. There is no midterm, just a final.

He is reasonable&knowledgeable. But the content of his lecture could be confusing for ppl who are not familliar with European culture/history. Note that his course is synchronously, so be aware of the time difference if you are not in the US (i had to get up at 3am to attend his lecture). and we have quizes every week, which i think are too tough!
