Reviews of professor Jacobson Blomquist

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is honestly a really nice guy. However he teaches right out of the textbook and does not know the material very well. He is always available out of class if you need help - and he's better one-on-one than he is in class. There is a homework due every Thursday as well as a quiz every Thursday. Take with different professor if possible.

Very nice person, however not that good at teaching and explaining concepts clearly. The class is indeed an analysis course using proofs, however the professor copies word for word from the textbook, and fails to relay the information in a clear concise way that allows the class to understand the material. Averages on exams are only 50%.

Jake is not the. best at explaining in lecture I'll. give you that, but he is much better in office hours! Super nice guy and more then willing to help. Doesn't judge you or for not knowing even the simplest things and is genuinely interested in you understanding material as an individual.

Super nice guy and tries really hard, but just not a great lecturer (yet!). Can't clearly explain concepts during class, teaches right out of textbook, and he seems somewhat unfamiliar with the material. Also the homework is very proof oriented and tough. Ask questions in discussion! He'll try his best to explain clearly.

Really nice guy and easy to approach. However, this class was extremely hard to understand and he read directly out of the textbook. Tests were really hard and the textbook made it seem easier than it is. When students asked a question he sometimes didn't answer clearly. Final was insanely hard and covered topics not taught.

Uses the textbook a lot as people mentions, but explains it so that it is more understandable and digestible. Tests are pretty straight forward, if you can do the examples he does in class and the homework you should do well on the test. Definitely no curveballs and he's pretty good at explaining things. I would recommend going to class.

This professor holds the textbook and reads out of it while lecturing, without a lesson plan. He also taught out of the appendix of the book because he rushed through the rest of the material. Only seems interested in his research. The final review has a large number of terms that aren't even covered in the textbook. Would NOT recommend.
