Reviews of professor Jason Anastasopoulos

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
It's obvious that he's a very smart man, but he has no business teaching undergrads. He repeatedly dismissed students. He assigned a 10-15 page paper a month before the end of the semester. The worst professor I've ever had, and nearly the worst class I've had at UGA. If you need theory and method classes, make sure to take another one.

This is probably one of the classes ever. The way this man speaks with such passion about politics AND technology is absolutely mind-blowing. You will be enlightened about NFTs, They Live, and Type 2 errors. Absolute blast of a class definitely recommend.

He's such a nice guy, but his lectures are unclear and he's not very good at explaining confusing concepts or answering questions in class. You really rely on the book just to keep up, and once you get to the harder stuff like regressions the class just falls apart. The quizzes and tests are pretty easy, but on a daily basis, class is a slog.

If you have never taken a stat class before, I would try to take a different T/M class. The first half of the semester was super simple but after the midterm everything got harder. He was never great about clearly explaining things and seemed like he even never knew what was going on. It doesn't help that the subject matter itself is really boring

I took his politics and technology class and loved it. His lectures are interesting, he grades super easily, the class discussions were always engaging, and attendance wasn't mandatory. This class was hardly any work but I genuinely enjoyed the readings and got so much out of it, plus he is super nice. Highly recommend.

Professor Anastasopoulos has been great so far. I went into the course without ever taking statistics, but the course has not been confusing at all. It is well taught and pretty laid back. If there's ever any confusion, Professor A is very good about being available for help. He also teaches at Princeton, but he is a very easy going guy. Take him!!

You can tell he loves what he teaches, but it's difficult to grasp some of the more bland topics in his lectures. He really only teaches from one perspective but was always open to alternative interpretations. He's easy on grading but doesn't give the most detailed feedback. A good class to take if you want an "easy A" to fill your schedule.

He tries really hard but has no idea how to properly teach this course. To begin with, it's super easy material so it doesn't matter. However, as the class goes forward everything gets more confused and he never answers the questions or really helps anyone understand what's happening. I had never taken stat before so that made this class so awful.
