Reviews of professor Jack Reardon

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Super super nice guy and really cares about his students but hard to understand sometimes, and overall jumps around a lot and tangents all the time.

Love him but he can be hard to understand because he has a speech problem. 3 tests and 1 paper are the only things graded. In his upper-level courses, tests are open for a week. You literally get a week to do a test thats 5 questions long its awesome. After grades come back you are allowed to revise for points back!! its impossible not to get an A.

Lectures are very hard to follow and I used youtube tutorials for the homework every time. He gave a lot of extra credit opportunities to make up for it though. Overall, pick another prof.

Dr. Reardon is a good person and easy to talk to BUT his lectures are very boring and hard to follow. Personally I could never understand him and his handwriting was awful so it did not make thing easier. Overall he is a nice a guy but DO NOT take this class if you want to actually learn something.

Really funny, eccentric professor. Hard to understand at times but he reiterates the most important points many times. Tests are straightforward and pretty easy. Good option for 103

Good overall teacher if you apply yourself. Very difficult to understand sometimes. A very unique individual but all in all a good guy. If you take notes and study you will do good. He passes everybody.

This professor is a nice guy, but requires you to buy a book he wrote and based the exams off of that and his hard to follow lectures. Organization is mediocre, and he seems to be really bad at replying to emails with questions. In class, he jumps back and forth from topic to topic without explaining things thoroughly.

I took Reardon for ECON 103. He is hard to understand sometimes but he gets to the point in his lectures. He gives a study guide for each exam so you know what could be on the exam. The textbook is a great tool if you don't understand a topic. He is hard to reach outside of class and it takes him a while to grade. There aren't homework assignments

Reardon cares about his students and is quite funny at times but his lectures are so unorganized and he never responds to emails in a timely matter. He has 4 exams and a bunch of little quizzes and he does give you extra credit to boost your final grade.

I had to take ECON 103 my junior year and thought it wouldn't be that bad, but man was this class boring. Half of the time I'm not really sure what's he's talking about and sometimes he doesn't even know what he's lecturing about. There was a day in lecture where he just talked about the speed of light and atoms. None of which are relevant to ECON.
