Reviews of professor Jay O'Toole

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I really enjoyed how I was able to step out of my thinking process to come up with ideas throughout this class. It allowed me to think differently in many ways, and I am happy I was able to take this class. The clicker questions were great too.

Avoid at all costs, he is the type of professor that thinks his class is the only one that matters and expects way too much for everyone's busy schedules. There's a semester-long project that he gives you failing grades no matter if you update it using the feedback given. DO NOT TAKE this class.

Innovative ways of collaborating and learning subject material. Ex: find a person who knows the answer to the question. And real world application of learned things through feasibility study and innovation challenge

Jay was the best professor I've ever had at Elon. He truly cares about his students and goes above and beyond to make sure we have a safe, welcoming, and caring classroom environment. He cares more that we take away lessons, values, and concepts rather than just getting a letter grade in the class.

Jay is by far the best professor I've had throughout my 4 years at Elon. He brings real world examples and has us evaluate cases as if we were on the boards of the company. He truly cares for his students and wants everyone to succeed.

I left every class almost tired because we would do so much critical thinking but that was fantastic

Jay's classes consist of soft lectures with clicker questions and student-led case studies. Expect to take surveys, read a good amount and watch videos for homework - and take notes - you WILL be graded on recollection of important ideas. Jay offers extra credit - so take advantage of it. Put in time and effort and you can definitely do well!!
