Reviews of professor Steven Jones

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A lot of people complain about the attendance requirement, but it's not that big of a deal, you get some free absences. He is a great lecturer and he tries to make the information interesting. However, the exams were very difficult and most of the material comes from the book and practice problems (which he doesn't go over in class).

Prof Jones is a good guy who knows his stuff. Pretty basic class setup with weekly homework and 3 exams. His attendance policy is harsh, getting a deduction for every unexcused absence, so try to take the class at a day and time where it's not as tempting to skip. A lot of the lecture content is his own which is cool.

He doesn't teach from a textbook, he teaches from his own experience. He knows what he is talking about and you can tell with his real world examples. He works full time still (from home) and woke up at 4am to get his work done before class at 8am.

Prof Jones is a genuinely good guy who cares a lot about the topic he teaches. If you are not an OM major however, he won't be for you. The attendance policy is the only reason I give him a 2/5. He forces you to come to class under threat of failure so you "get what you pay for" but since I am paying for it, I should decide when I attend class.

Professor Jones is amazing! I took his class earlier in my undergrad, and have always wished there was another class for me to take with him. His lectures are engaging, and he is very funny which helps keep the lectures upbeat. He is a super caring person, and wants his students to be successful in life. Take any class you can with Professor Jones!

By far my favorite professor ever! He cares so much about his students and truly wants each one to succeed. I suggest meeting with him during office hours early in the semester. He's very helpful for career advice as well and is very connected. I HIGHLY recommend taking his courses.

OM3080- While we're STILL dealing with a pandemic, making attendance mandatory is ludicrous. He preaches that "you get what you pay for" but then completely misses the point by forcing you to come to class if you want to pass. If I want to watch the lecture from the comfort of my home that's my right. Take your salary and sit down.

Dr. Jones is very knowledgeable about meat science. He goes really fast through lectures so if you miss a day in class you better have someone who will get you the notes. The weekly quizzes are pretty easy if you take good notes and that helps boost your grade because the tests are pretty difficult.

I think he's a terrible professor
