Reviews of professor Jake Shields

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The quizzes are 100% vocabulary. Do not buy the book it is free online. His lectures are bland and he speaks in a monotone tone. There are two 5-point assignments a class and they add up fast. If you miss a class you're down 10 points out of the total 100 for assignments.

Hard to follow and goes off on tangents a lot.

I loved this class, and I was surprised since the subject is totally not interesting to me. As long as you do the work and read the instructions, you'll get an A in his class.

Mr. Shields is a very good professor, quite possibly the best Mott professor I've ever had. He is pretty cool guy, and he likes to talk a lot.  Mr. Shields said himself that he likes to hear himself talk, although what he says is important information, and is in fact applicable to the test.  Never call him Jake however, or 40 lashes will come. Love

He lectured twice a week for the whole semester, and never asked once for his students' input.

Jakey Pakey is quite the goof ball, but is ultimately a good professor. He does go on long tangents, but offers insight and multiple examples for each concept, though those examples are bizarre. As long as you do your weekly discussions, short answers, take notes, study the vocab, and do your review packet, you should be able to maintain an easy A.

Tough cookie who likes to try and relate to the youth but does a terrible job and is very bland I definitely recommend getting a new teacher if you see that you have him because you're gonna get **** on. He's a very tough grader. Again, I do not recommend him at all.

When preparing for a test focus on vocabulary. The quizzes are 100% vocabulary. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK UNLESS YOU ENJOY HAVING A PHYSICAL COPY! IT IS FREE ONLINE! His lectures are bland and he tries too hard to relate to 'the youth' along with thinking too hard about questions asked and giving a run-around answer. Overall took a while to adjust to him
