Reviews of professor Jared Hancock

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is very helpful to every student in his class. He does make you work for it but he is always there to help his students. I would recommend him in Chem lab too.

Lectures do not help very much with exams or quizzes. Not easy to reach or set up a meeting with. Will rig tests and then accuse you of cheating, even if they did not. Lots of homework, usually is a participation grade, though. Thinks he is hilarious, but nobody ever laughs. I believe he lives in a different time zone, so hes hard to reach.

He is very willing to help you on anything and he wants you to pass. He will work with you if you work with him and he offers extra credit.

This guy made me want to minor in chemistry from a required class. Super helpful and approachable. If you think he's hard, perhaps you haven't had any college level classes and should rethink college. He is more than knowledgeable, and he shows it (in a good way). Pay attention, show up, and you'll be fine. Study, it's chemistry not English.

He his nice but his course is tedious. We have to attend class from 11 to 11:50am M, W, F which I think is ridiculous because we have work & kids which is why I am taking an online class in the first place. Many quizzes, homework, few questions on exams (5exams altogether) & 2papers. Do not take this class with another heavy class.

Dr. Hancock was a great teacher! He allowed us to use our notes on all exams! He is very willing to help his students and is very understanding about issues that may arise in your life. He also accepts late work with a 20% penalty. One thing that I am personally not found of, is that homework is worth small amounts of points.

this class was all online, so if you find chemistry boring, get ready for long lectures and don't even think about skipping. every day is participation points, and you must have your camera on and participate in the chat. Hancock is a decent professor, though somewhat cocky. tons of extra credit opportunities, and tests are open note!

Summer 2020. Covid 19 scare. Zoom meetings 9am-11am M-F all of June. Exams every week. Online HW every chapter. Long lectures that do not prepare you for the exams. Had to teach myself many things through reading our online textbook and watching YouTube videos. Says he's available for help; but he lives with his parents in Utah, teaching ISU?? Odd.

This professor is organized, has clear grading criteria and creates a manageable schedule. I took an online course, the lecture was mandatory and boring. Show up to lecture get points, hand in homework get points, write 2 papers get points, extra credit get points. The class was set up in a way that it would be hard to fail.
