Reviews of professor Will Jonen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He considers low C's and high D's "good" average scores; at least 40% of the class fails each exam. He's only available via classroom-setting office hours that are half-223, half-224-dedicated. He admits to poorly-worded questions and refuses to believe that low correct percentages on questions means ineffective teaching and not "lack of studying."

Took both 223 and 224, one of which was in the summer. Got A's in both. Yes this class is challenging, but you will thank him for all the hours you spent studying especially when it comes to other Kinesiology classes beyond 224. You can afford a few bad grades on tests. READ THE BOOK. He loves the book, don't just study off powerpoint you wont pass

5/5 for 223 + 224 If you took him for 223, you know the deal. Great professor, super approachable, and will help you understand everything thoroughly. Definitely read the textbook, and attend class and anything supplemental, including office hours.

Jonen's class was incredibly hard, but I have learned more with him in 2 semester than I have with my other professors. Jonen is ALWAYS prepared and willing to answer your questions. He is very specific on what he wants. Attend his office hours... They will help you so much.

I really don't agree with the negative reviews. Straightforward, multiple choice exam questions. Yes, YOU HAVE TO PUT THE TIME IN. I work full time and I'm in school full time and I got a high A. The subject material is really not that difficult, but the class is time consuming. One critique - Jonen talks loudly during exams which is distracting.

Amazing professor to learn from but horrible tests. Around 5% of the class gets A's while >50% percent fail and he wont curve the exam. Says info won't be on the test but it is on the test. Many trick questions that will make you 2nd guess yourself for every question. Don't take if u need an A but he has great lectures if u just want to learn AnP

While he is always willing to help and do everything he can to help his students he leaves it up to you to put the work in. Not unusual, but he does expect more out of you than the other profs. He expects you to learn more, do your own studying. Puts content in a study guide, doesn't teach it in class and put those questions in the exams. Not fair.

This class left me with mixed feelings. While he is very knowledgeable and does a good job explaining the chapters, his tests vary in difficulty. When he personally writes his tests or modifies them they are very tricky in wording and VERY difficult. He is detail oriented, which is understandable for anatomy, but what he expects is beyond.
