Reviews of professor Jacob Bertrand

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is very quiet and anti-social. This greatly impedes his ability to teach adequately and clearly. Often he uses professional jargon that is not explained or on the level of the introductory course,  and this makes it quite hard to understand the course material. I do not recommend this class.

The lectures are SOOO boring. There are a lot of tests that I pretty much guessed on everything and it didn't seem to matter if I studied or not. He curves them every time so at least I didn't fail. He is nice and a little funny, he really does seem to try.

Jake is an easy grader and a nice guy but his lectures can be a little bit.... painful. Like, he mostly just reads off the slides. Def take a lab class with him but probably not a lecture class. You'll do well, though, if you do the reading, and he's also super nice. Altogether he's okay, not exactly my fav professor for lecture-heavy 131, though.

Dr. Bertrand is an expert in his field but is human. He is kind and always willing to try and view things from different perspectives. He may not be the most enthusiastic but he is still a great teacher that is willing to entertain almost any question even if it derails his lecture for a short time. Patience and leniency are his redeeming qualities
