Reviews of professor George Jacobs

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Summer classes are so fast paced. every week you have a test that if you dont study for 10hours each week you will fall behind. Too much to know in a short period of time. Im sure that fall or spring classes are easier but for summer classes it is too easy to get burnt out. He also does not post all the lectures meaning that you have to self study.

Good lecturer, but didn't seem to plan lessons and you could tell. A lot wasn't covered in class and we had to learn on our own. Test were mostly straightforward, but didn't 100% match review/hw. Very nice man, definitely not a bad choice at Richland.

5 week summer online course. HW was easy, uses mymathlab. He creates his own paper tests, which are worded differently than mymathlab. I suggest watching his lecture videos to see how he words questions. Test reviews cover 60% of what's on the test. Despite being a 100% online course, he requires tests to be taken on-campus. He is a lenient grader.

Dr. Jacobs cares. If you show up and are willing to put any effort at all into the class he will do what it takes to help you pass. He is always accessible and when the tutors couldn't help me he made it a point to teach them some things so they could more easily tutor me. His lectures are filled with dad jokes and all around silliness. Best EVER!!

Professor Jacobs is disorganized, takes a long time to return tests, and changes the schedule a lot but he is very caring, knowledgeable and cares about his students. He is very flexible if you need to move a test. He really knows the material and emphasized he would make sure we know the material we need to be successful in the next course.

He fails you if you do not answer his questions right and show up to class regularly.

I took Dr. Jacobs MATH 1314 over the spring semester and I enjoyed it. When the pandemic hit, he made sure that his students were okay and he communicated effectively. He makes his lectures interesting and walks around and makes sure that every person was understanding the material he was presenting. I highly recommend this professor!

Dr. Jacobs seems to really care about his students. This term was difficult but I was able to stick with the class and Dr. Jacobs was always quick to respond and really answered my questions thoroughly. I look forward to taking another class from him!

Continued. He is very understanding I worked a lot this semester so I missed more than a couple assignments and he reopened with no questions asked. Makes reviews for every test and also puts up key the final is cumulative but look at old test. Reason I got a C is because towards the end due to work I was not able to study at all so I failed final.
