Reviews of professor Jeremy Patzer

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
he was hit or miss. very nice guy, but basically asked us how to teach him to use zoom. STUDY 'SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL'. he tests heavily on that. didn't really teach much, just read slides and watched videos. only tested on 3 tests which were difficult online. I think he would be a much better prof in person. i would recommend for in person classes

One of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. 2 35% tests and 2 15% assignments. Patzer is whip smart and a very down to earth guy. Very well curated selection of readings and interesting lectures. I just wish I had gotten to take more classes with him before I graduated. If you're on the fence, definitely give this course a go.

Pretty chill professor, lectures posted online but watched interesting videos in class that could be testable. 3 MC tests with long-answer only. Read the lectures and journal articles to do good, didn't really use the textbook a lot. Lots of reading outside of class time. However, takes forever marking tests. Overall would take again, nice prof.

While I really liked Jeremy as a person, I was really annoyed with how much class time we wasted doing participation exercises that only counted for 10% of our final grade. We'd spend at least half the class on these, and end up having to go over the lecture slides on our own time, on top of the textbook readings.

As long as you read the material given plus the textbook, you will do just fine. I didn't even have to fully read the textbook, his slides had a lot of information that made the tests not too hard at all. 

He made class very enjoyable, liked to crack some jokes.

Great prof! Super understanding and interesting. He is very knowledgeable in this field and is good at explaining concepts in an unbiased way. I honestly didn't read any of the articles unless it was for the research assignments and I did well in the course. I would totally take a course with Jeremy again!

Indigenous justice is Patzer's field of study, and he's really passionate about sharing his in-depth knowledge. Incredibly eye-opening and important material - should be mandatory. No textbook, but lots of articles/reading. Not an easy course, but fair marking and clear expectations/accessible, and so worth it. Learned so much. Highly recommend!

I really liked Jeremy as a person (he was extremely nice and accommodating) but I definitely had some issues with how the course was taught. He curves marks down, so your grade is not as high as it would be in other classes. We also only had 30% of our grade marked going into the final exam, which was super stressful.
