Reviews of professor Jason Porter

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Quite possibly the WORST class I've ever taken. Does not teach. Has a "flipped" classroom, where lectures are pre-recorded on Youtube. You'd be better off taking an online accounting class at that point. Tests are NEVER reflective of the material emphasized in online lectures.

The first quiz he quizzed us about very niche details in the syllabus and it wasn't open notes- and it went towards our grade. Right off the bat, I believed that was unfair. He does detailed lectures, but does not provide any guidance with what or how to study for the tests. He makes an intro course harder than it needs to be. Still got an A.

I really enjoyed Professor Porter's class. He's a pretty chill professor. He didn't take attendance, but you want to be there for notes. He is available outside of class and will answer any question relating to the field of visual communications. Class was really interesting and homework was educational. Does not help with homework unless you ask.

His lectures are interesting, but his tests are hard. Multiple choice, but "choose all that apply," which can really trip you up. He drops the lowest test score which is good. Attendance is optional, and he posts the PowerPoints online, but he mostly provides verbal information so go to class. Ended with an 89.6 and he does not round up.

Jason was an absolute blast to have and was the only professor that I had that semester where I actually enjoyed and looked forward to seeing. Definitely snag him when you're registering for classes. He challenges, but is also very helpful if you don't understand a concept.

Professor Poter honestly wasnt a bad professor, all of the homework and assignments are on Zybooks. Each class will have homework on Zybooks which is due at the end of the semester but do them bc he might call on randoms. The grade is made up of midterm final homework and coding assignments. pretty easy. He is willing to help you. Dont use phones!

Class structure - watch his online lectures before every quiz which takes very long, very very hard exams, HW is not too bad, partner projects throughout the entire semester. Doesn't give study guides which sucks, just goes over broadly what the exam will cover. As a finance student I can easily say it's hardest class I've taken at WSU.

Has a flipped classroom, so it's easy to just rewatch videos if you don't understand something, and class time is used for working on projects. He's always very accessible if you have questions.

Jason is very helpful and wants you to succeed. He structures his class in a way that allows him to be available for your questions. He also holds the most generous office hours I've seen at WSU; 3 days a week / 2.5 hrs. Keep up with videos and hw. Study early and often. Go to his office hours when you can or let him know if you have a conflict.
