Reviews of professor Jacob Duncan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is super nice, understanding, and laid back. He can be a little unorganized, but I think the good things about him outweigh that. Im not a math person, but he made the material understandable. I also liked that he talked about environmental issues for examples and would talk about that in his lectures. Also you dont have to pay for the book

This class could have been way easier if he understood his own material. I learned everything he was trying to teach from my friends who are stats majors and youtube videos. Would not recommend if you don't have time to teach yourself how to do everything.

I have had him for two math classes now and he is a great math professor. He sets his class up to have group work that is done during class with three exams. The exams are very straightforward from the practice exams that he provides before each test. He is a very chill and laid-back professor, highly recommended.

I took math for sustainability with Jake and I wouldn't recommend taking this class if math is something you struggle with, he's confusing and the textbook didn't have enough concrete examples. I did one of the homework assignments completely wrong and he didn't let me know or offer to help me.

Jacob is one of the best professors that I have had here. If you show up to class you cannot fail the class. All of the work is group work that you do with 3 other people. The way the class is setup it is impossible to not succeed unless you skip class a lot. there is no at home work. There are only 3 exams and you get a full sheet of notes for all

Duncan didnt really teach I felt and more just lectured from a textbook he made so you cant even go on google to find help. Also, you only got points if you were IN class and had ALL of the classwork done for that day, which was sometimes a lot. You do get to use a notes sheet on his tests, which is very helpful.

He is a great professor, his assignments were straight forward based off a textbook and if you show up to class and do the assignments, you will do great on the tests. He doesn't offer many extra credit opportunities so be sure you go to class and get work done. A lot of the assignments are group based so be prepared to work with others.

Nicest professor I have ever had. Will let you make up missed group work points if you are sick/out. Groupwork each class 10 pts each, and 3 exams from 50-75 ish points. If you do group work, homework, and listen in class, you are fine! Did very minimal work in this class, had no issues. Use online things like JMP and the book (he published) a lot!
