Reviews of professor Jacob Bachinger

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Learned a lot from Jacob and found him approachable and easy to talk to one on one. Asked to meet with him two different times and he made time for it, even outside office hours, so I appreciated that, and his explanations were really helpful. I feel more confident writing essays now.

Lectures were dry and some content seemed a bit pointless. Very tough when grading essays and didnt give many corrections to help you improve.

Not a fan of Jacob. AVOID! Changed the syllabus in the middle of class. Poor time management when teaching. Reads directly out of the text book, verbatim. Very monotone. Reminded me of the teacher from Ferris Bueller. Calls on the same people over and over and ignores others. Useless feedback, as he doesn't thoroughly read through assignments

Great Professor! Jacob really helped me with my academic writing. Take his class if you want to improve your writing. He provides very interesting articles! Very personable Prof.

While the class and content can be slightly boring, He selects unique topics to read and write about. We had 2 portfolios made up of different writing assignments allowing us to practice different writing styles. He was very accessible and helpful. Showing up to class makes a difference. He enjoys discussing with students. Too much reading though.

He's a cool guy and VERY accessible outside of class, he's very on top of emails and appointments to set you up for success. The amount of reading you have to do is boggling though, and he is vague with what he expects from your work. The lectures are (respectfully) very unengaging and at times lacking direction. A+ for his effort though.

Jacob did an amazing job at making this course as interesting as possible even though the material is dry. There weren't too many assignments, but the feedback is helpful every time. He is a very understanding prof, if there is a reason you have to miss class, just email him and he is almost always understanding. 10/10 would recommend.

This class is a very good class to take early on in school. I learned a lot about how to format essays and the citations among other tips and tricks. The essays assigned had interesting topics and helped to practice format. He was a fun prof and also gave good feedback which helped with future essays. I really recommend taking this class.

Engaging and informative lectures. I enjoyed discussing the material with him outside of class, and he gives great feedback on papers. The class might be challenging depending on your initial skill with writing, but it will help you improve. Ensure you refer back to the textbook and tips from lectures during your writing process.
