Reviews of professor Jon Bakos

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Bakos really works to be sure you understand the material. He'll answer questions as best as he can, and he's easily accessible outside of class. The assignments aren't too difficult, but in-class participation really matters. He's doesn't stick to the syllabus, but he will keep you updated in class when things change.

Very understanding as long as you communicate. He has very realistic expectations for students and has basically no hard deadlines

Dr. Bakos was a great professor. There are two exams; he tells you exactly what is on them. The majority of your points go to your language bio. Thus, you will pick a language (ex. Chinese) and write 3-4 papers exploring the language of your choosing. Don't waste your money buying the book as he tells you everything you need to know in lectures.
