Reviews of professor Jan-Paul Venter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Was a wonderful prof who provided me with help anytime I needed it. He made sure to give us the tools we needed to succeed. The assignments were harder, but that prepared us for the quiz which was often easier than the assignments.

Great prof, challenging but enjoyable course. Gotta put lots of work in but good grades are definitely possible with enough work.

80% of this class is calculus or calculus based proofs. You will pass this class if you are a math major, you will not otherwise. The professor gives questions and grades like a 300 level math class. Do not take this class if you are a not a math major, you will not pass. This is not a 100 level mathematics of finance class.

Great Prof, easy to understand and good at explaining concepts. Assignments are very long but its helpful for learning the concepts and preparing for the exams.

Venter is an excellent professor. He walked us through how to solve the types of questions multiple times so we would be prepared. The exams are exactly like the questions asked in class. The marking is clear and he marks with any mistakes that were made. I would definitely take another class with him again.

Jan-Paul is a really great professor, especially for higher level ACSC courses. Tests can be long, but he is extremely fair regarding marking. Jan-Paul is very approachable and kind. The textbook is also highly used. My only complaint is he sometimes forgets to post notes, but he posts them right away once someone reminds him.

his assignments were so long. easy quizzes and midterms if you understand the assignments you will do very well in the midterms and the quizzes. the final was average, the questions were similar to the assignments, and the midterms. All the assignments and the quizzes were from the textbook.

The professor is a nice guy, tries to explain in the class. The assignments and quizzes were easy but the midterms and exam very hard especially the final. Most of the questions were unfamiliar.

Jan-Paul tried to be very straightforward about how the class would go, however him trying to adjust his teaching style, while an act of care, made the class very confusingly structured. Certain questions on homeworks or quizzes will be randomly very hard, or not related to what was taught. The lectures and examples are good but nothing exceptional

He is confusing. He sometimes doesn't fully explain examples and concepts. Assignments, quizzes, and midterms had almost nothing in common. It was hard to know what to study. Midterms were fairly easy, assignments were average, but the quizzes were difficult. He changed the course outline halfway through the semester which added to the confusion.
