Reviews of professor David Jepsen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Graded very unfairly and almost never gave any feedback on the assignments and would have to reach out to get feedback. The book that he required us to read was a book that he wrote and I did not trust what was written. The quizzes were very confusing and was not consistent with the book. If you like your GPA do not take this teacher.

He is certainly there to teach, not so much you there to learn. Frequently takes more than a month to return assignments. Grading is arbitrary, points taken off without providing a reason. Zoom calls are introduced as "extra credit" but can't get an A without attending. Not open alternative perspectives. His biggest concern is citing sources.

paraphrasing and using quotes is helpful and appreciated. multiple choice questions sometimes have more than one answer that satisfies the question. materials are outdated but its fine. expects short answers so its crucial to write concisely. i thought the books were fun to read, and essay questions fun and thought-provoking to answer.

David's online course was great, albeit reading heavy. It makes sense that it was reading heavy though because it's an online class. He wants his students to succeed in his class and offers multiple resources, as well as clearly communicates with the students about expectations and worries.

Thought History of the PNW would be a fun, extra credit class to take. I was wrong. This class is the hardest class Ive taken. Two textbooks to read. Weekly multiple choice quizzes; which are very specific. Discussions weekly as well which arent bad. Does give opportunities for EC. Final exam AND essay on one of the books. Dont recommend:/

Be prepared to read a chapter a week, maybe every 2-3 weeks a side reading. He is very old-school don't make any mistakes with grammar or spelling he will mark you. Attend his extra credit class (I made the mistake of forgetting). He does not provide feedback on quizzes or discussion post so you are left confused on what you did wrong.
