Reviews of professor Jeffrey Coats

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had Dr. Coats for my first-year seminar in servant leadership. He was very caring for each of the students and took the time to talk to each of us and know our names. A lot of class time was dedicated to open-ended discussion, which the whole class enjoyed. He never cut any of us off and gave each of us the time to speak. Really loved this class.

One of the BEST professors I have ever had. His servant leadership class was enjoyable and I learned a lot. The main grade is the research paper but you will have more than enough time to do it. He is so friendly, accepting, and understanding. I wish I could take another class of his! 100% recommend!

Extremely caring professor. Intentional in fostering human relationships with his students, and I have rarely felt as comfortable as I did in his classroom. There are a few graded elements to the course, so it's just important that you stay on top of that. However, he is very vocal regarding due dates, and he wants you to do well in his course

Dr. Coats was awesome. During difficult life circumstances he worked with me to be able to still pass the class after multiple absences. He intentionally creates relationships with students and learns names. He understands that it is a gen ed class so there is no busy work, just a few big assignments. Awesome professor.

Dr. Coats is a nice guy. The class has a few readings and is discussion based. You'll have a 15-page research paper, 2-page research proposal, and a group presentation. Great practice for future research based classes.He's super friendly and cares. Several times he's called off class for mental health day/work day!

Once you get to know him, Dr. Coats is great and a funny guy! You are graded on 2 group prjects, a 14 page paper, and your imput in the class. The 14 page paper is not as bad as it sounds, you get to choose everything about it. The group projects are easy. Get comfy cause you have to talk almost every class, but it is a  judgement free zone! LOVE!

If you take this class you need to participate, if you do that you will be fine, the only hard thing is the reserch paper and as long as you show that you put in good work you will get an A. He is very personable and kind. Just talk in class.

Dr. Coats is one of those teachers that if you are on his good side, you are fine for the semester. Honestly, you have to participate in class a lot in order to get a good grade, but that's about it. There is one big paper, 2 group projects, participation, and the final (which was a discussion base). Let's say I never worried about this class.

Dr. Coats was awesome! His class was very interesting and I always looked forward to being there. Your two biggest grades are participation and a research paper. As long as you talk in class and show that you put in good work on your paper you'll be fine! Very fun class.
