Reviews of professor Jason Porter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Jason Porter is such a cool professor. His coding class is hard, but he knows that and really helps walk you through everything and gives you the right resources. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS!!! It helps so much when you're stuck on an assignment. The work load isn't too bad but the content can get confusing. Can't wait to take his J455 class this fall!

I had Porter for 1301 last semester, and I overall thought the class was pretty easy since I already had a decent understanding of Python. Lectures aren't very helpful since he only teaches off of zyBooks, and everything that's graded, except exams, are also on zyBooks. If you know coding a decent bit, take him. If not, you might have issues.

his teaching relies on Zybooks and its not helpful. I didnt learn as efficiently as I should have. It was pointless going to class because what he does in class is something I can do at home. It is not that hard to get a decent grade for his class since the assignments are worth more than the final. If you take CSCI seriously I wouldnt take him

Professor Porter is the best online instructor I've ever had. The content in his class is very difficult and moves quick (7 week schedule) but he is willing to help if you're willing to try. His lectures are great and you don't even need the book for most of the class.

He does a reverse lecture class, so you teach yourself everything through his videos he posts and then in class you do examples. He is a very good professor who is very smart and passionate about accounting. His tests are very hard however and he grades very difficultly. He has a lot of group projects throughout the semester as well.

I like Jason, but his lectures are too intense and TIME-CONSUMING! He wants to provide you with as much info as possible, but it is OVERWHELMING! You will likely FAIL his exams (pre-adj), but so did everyone else. Luckily he offers exam adjs and ext cred. Be prepared to feel inadequate. Attend weekly zooms for FSR hints/answers that aren't recorded

He's the professor that you hate to love. This class was SO difficult but I also walked away having actually learned SO MUCH. At first an A seems impossible but with hard work it's obtainable. He's willing to help you on assignments IF YOU ASK FOR IT! & For the exams, watch the online modules and take notes!! They're a HUGE part of the exams.

Professor Porter is a good guy. He really knows his stuff. He responds to emails quickly, and reading the textbook is crucial to passing. This is a hard class, but he explains concepts very well and has many examples to compare things to.
