Reviews of professor Jon Jasperson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Im taking Dr. J for a graduate level course, and he is one of the best professors Ive ever had and hands down the nicest. Hes very understanding and he cares about his student. He makes tough subject enjoyable. His lectures are easy to understand and his slides are helpful. If I could take every class he teaches, I would. Hes that great!

Fantastic seminar class. You get Python knowledge to add to your resume but attendance isn't mandatory and you can take the quizzes at home!

His assignments were challenging but he offered good feedback and answered all questions either during his office hours or by email.

His teaching style seems to be throw as much raw info at my students during my lectures and hope some of it sticks. Be better dude.

Jasperson is a tough professor. He does not thoroughly explain the mechanics of the class. He sent a link to register for a peer grading website and the link does not work properly and he has not further explained how to sign up for it. The seminar class should be just a seminar, but we are expected to learn a programming language for a 1 hr credit

Like all the other reviewers, he really doesn't do much "teaching" other than repeating the textbook. On the other hand, if you need help, he will help you, but only to an extent. To do the assignments, you will rely heavily on textbook and internet examples, as well as the TA. You need to be familiar with coding, otherwise, this class is HARD.

Dr. J doesn't even teach, most of the "learning" you'll be doing is ripping code from the book solutions and reusing it for homework and projects. We also use C# so hopefully you remember all of the concepts you learned in ISTM250 which you probably took 2 years ago. Have fun teaching yourself web development while Dr. J sits on the sidelines.
