Reviews of professor Jonathon Quam

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
You'll probably be given projects you're not prepared for. Be ready to teach yourself some concepts. It's difficult but that's when you learn the most. Nice guy who knows his stuff.

Arguably the least accessible person on this campus. Never in his office, never answers emails. Goes home on Thursdays and in the middle of the week leading to students falling behind in class because he is simply not around to help. Simply a horrible professor

Since a 4.5 or 5-minus isn't an option, I'll just go with a 5. Quam expects a lot from his students, but he adjusts to meet the needs of the class. He's more focused on how we build our skills than meeting a specific project deadline. His class was fun and he introduces some of the most important skills we learn in mass communication.

This is some of the most fun you'll have in the mass comm program. You get to design projects around your interests and find unique stories to tell. The professor is available outside the class and will work with you one on one if needed. It's a down to earth class that sets you up for more advanced media work.

At first I thought he was having a rough couple days, but his attitude never changed throughout the semester. Very knowledgeable about the subject but highly inconsiderate and inaccessible to students during crucial times. If youre a person that needs one on one help, find his assistant.

Well versed in the documentary field. Works with students/adapts assignments based-off speed of class. Allows a lot of creativity, which is hard for students that learn from a step by step approach. Shows the vast possibilities with the software, but is hard to understand as rookies and difficult to know when to use what as he allows that freedom.

Quam is a difficult grader who gives strong feedback for every assignment. He will work with you outside of class to ensure you know the material. It doesn't matter where you're starting from, he will work with you until you understand the material. His class is fun and consistently entertaining.

I've genuinely really enjoyed his class this semester. He's a tough grader but he walks you through what you're supposed to do in class. He also makes himself accessible outside of class. He's more concerned with your retention and application rather than grade. He does offer extra credit if you're worried about your grade. Genuinely pretty nice.

Terrible attitude to have as an educator. Speaks down to his students 24/7. Knowledgeable dude but is incredibly cocky and disrespectful. Heavy workload considering this is the first time using the camera and lighting equipment. Wish he would calm down and teach skills rather than lecture about nothing important
