Reviews of professor Jackson Messner

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
His PHYS 110 Labs are easier than lecture with another professor. He has been posting grades on canvas slowly through out the quarter. If you want to get your score early, you must sen him email through your shoreline email.

I have read so many good feedback about Professor Messner but it seems not so true, at least in my opinion. I took his online class due to pandemic. It's the worst physic class I've ever taken. He didn't grade until very last minutes. Not very helpful sources to learn unless attending his virtual office hours often.

Jackson is a good teacher, his exams are quite predictable and most stuff are related to lectures and homework.

Jackson teaches very well and has entertaining lectures. His exams are very straightforward from the study guide and don't surprise you with hard questions. Attendance is mandatory as he always has a lab or seminar when meeting in class. He's very invested in your success, so I recommend to take him for any Physics class.

Took him 114-116 College Algebra. He is great. He has that goofy sciency person sense of humor and enjoys humor back. He gives lots of points for attempting so it's pretty easy to get an A. His lectures are pretty straightforward so go to calls/videos. A downfall is that he gets behind on grading and sometimes gets sidetracked (but so do I X'D ).

The majority of our work not graded by the time we took our last test. I was unable to attend office hours and he didn't seem to be available at other times. Some emails were answered, others were not. Due dates varied each week so making schedules/plans was very challenging. There was feedback and help but not enough to offset the issues listed.

Take him, he actually does a great job of explaining physics. Makes a very difficult topic very easy to understand.

Jackson is hilarious. He will help you if you get help when needed. Show him you're in it to win it. He is a semi-tough grader. I did every assignment and failed all but one of four exams and got out of there with a good grade. The only thing I saw a lot of people not like, and he said he was working on, was grading papers so late.

He has amazing lectures that are interesting to watch. He has this sense of humor in his lectures that makes it entertaining. Exams are very predictable and he's very generous in grading. Attendance is a must in his class though as missing out on classes will reduce your lab or seminar grades by a decent amount.

His lectures are not very in depth, I often utilize outside resources to learn the material. We are going into finals things week and still haven't received two test grades, and multiple things from over a month. It is completely disrespectful. If I had the choice to take another professor I would, but unfortunately he is the only one offered.
