Reviews of professor James Bay

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Awful professor. Makes the class as dull and uninteresting as humanly possible. Can't spell or give adequate instruction on how to do important things we're learning in class. Just prepare to follow along the entire course without having any true idea what you are doing or the real importance of it. He couldn't care less.

Very confusing and too much homework. Exams are confusing, the way he words them is like you're reading a different language, you only get half the time you need to complete them.  No extra credit.  He wont help or care if you email him.  I have never left a review for a professor b4, even bad ones. DO NOT, take a class with Jamie Bay. Worst class.

The instructions are too vague and lack clarity. The formulas needed to complete the assignment are not provided, leaving students without essential guidance. overall, horrible professor, does not answer any question regarding grades at all. never replies email. he does not teach anything, be prepare to go through out of class material by yourself!

Jamie's actually not bad. Hes amazingly well versed in excel and knows his stuff. I was able to contact him via email. he just moves slow and if you dont finish labs in class he sometime makes you finish them for hw. not too hard a class. worst part is even if you skip reading, videos, there are a ton of labs, hw, quizzes, all on McGraw Hill Connec

Other reviews are accurate. Do not take classes from this proff. Lectures are unbearably dry. He took 40 min of the 120min exam because of issues which made it seem like he was completely unprepared and this rushed the class and this interfered with many students subsequent work and class schedules.

I'm not brown nosing but this was a pretty great class. Content was useful and I find myself using skills from this class a lot. The final exam is pretty easy as long as you know the readings. Grading took a while but besides that I had no complaints about this class. This class is designed for Windows though so Apple users may have a hard time.

He knows a ton about Excel, but struggles to convey that knowledge. The TA's are pretty generous with their grading/curving and are usually better at explaining things than Jamie. The exams were pretty bad like others said. Overall the class is more stressful that it needs to be, but it was required for my major so I just had to deal with it.

What a joke of a class. The concepts are great, but the professor is too lazy to update his videos. Some of his videos are from 2016 and completely out of date. He is slow and dull while presenting or teaching in general. He doesn't look at a single thing you submit, he has his TA do everything. It feels like you are never actually talking to him.
