Useless class and the professor could not possibly care less. Everything else has already been stated on this page.

Very cringy person. He is knowledgeable and has experience in the journalism field, but he does not know how to teach. He throws various assignments at you that are not thought out properly at all. He's also a typical high school teacher. Cringy moments/stories that he spews throughout the semester. Don't forget to buy the ticket and take the ride.

Such a great professor! Weekly homework is just writing a couple sentences about a news article. The material is easy, but showing up to class is a must because exams are worded in a way that youll only get it if you showed up. Hes super funny and keeps the class entertaining. He stays up to date with news and keeps the students informed on it!

very new and clearly not destined to be an educator. Lacks good communication and technology skills. He does not utilize sakai in the least bit and is not clear about the syllabus. He is very unhelpful and makes it difficult for students to succeed. The class itself is very easy but he is very difficult to deal with.

He is clearly educated in the field of multimedia, but he has no idea how to communicate this knowledge to his students. His instructions and rubrics were so vague, and you really have to learn all of these techniques on your own which is so overwhelming. He also got frustrated a lot when students struggled even though it was because he can't teach

Such a good professor! Definitely take this class to get some gen eds out of the way. Only graded on the midterm, final, and weekly homework, but the exams are easy as long as you show up to class. Don't skip because the powerpoint won't be posted afterwards.

A professor that give his best explaining to the students. Understands the difficulties that students can have. Very nice guy, i really recommend him

The only reason I gave this man a 2 is because he's highly qualified to teach the subject of multimedia journalism. However, this class was absolute torture and feels impossible at times. He is painfully cringeworthy and I only mention this because it was a detriment to his teaching and the class. I want to switch majors after enduring this course

Professor Jaacks is a great professor. He gives meaningful feedback to his students and treats everyone like you would be treated in the work place. Some of my best journalism work has been produced in his class and I've learned a lot from him!
