Reviews of professor Jacob Michels

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He read directly off the slides every day and just wanted to read through the slides instead of teach the class. His tests were almost all multiple choice and many questions had 2 or 3 answers that would make sense and you just had to guess which one was the right one. Overall it was an easy class made difficult by his tests with subjective answers

The class is not very difficult. The lectures could be so much quicker if he didnt get distracted by students talking to him. The notes are very repetitive. Tests are pretty difficult if you dont study a lot. He does tell you whats on it. Overall there are better profs to take this class with who have optional finals and quicker class times.

A really nice guy that should not be teaching. His class is very lecture heavy and even if you read the book, do the practice problems, and homework the test is still pretty hard. The test averages ranged from about 70-75% but he did not bother to curve. Although, he does offer a little extra credit on the homework assignments.

Literally the worst professor I have ever had, I thought he was a nice person but teaching skills  nah fam. He reads off the slides and does not teach anything. Be prepared to fully understand statistics before coming to the class or your grade will die, also he hands out projects without instructions with just the good luck mentality. Dont take

My exp has been just fine with him. Before each class you'll probably be assigned a short online reading quiz. Honestly, you can pass all of them if you skim the chapters. He assigns a bit of homework problems in clumps. His lectures are well paced and he does a good job explaining the concepts especially with the in-class handouts.
