Reviews of professor Jay Gump

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Gump is a very kind and knowledgeable prof. There is a lot of material in this class and you do have to take the time to understand it well, however it is very possible to get an A in this class. There are five exams (final, 2 midterms, 2 practicals) but in total only about 38% of grade. If you have any questions he's more than happy to help you

Homework and exams were a breeze. Homework answers were mostly all in the online textbook (free). Exams were 70% online quiz answers so you were guaranteed a 70. Also could take the exams at home which was nice. Prof was a nice guy but lectures were incredibly long and slow. By the end of the semester, no one really showed up.

Great professor! Very funny and caring, hard material but makes it as easy as possible. Attendance is not mandatory but my one piece of advice is GO TO CLASS. Extra credit will boost your grade more than you think. I wish I had gone more!

He is a sweetheart! If you really apply yourself and do the HW/learning objectives this class can be a walk in the park. He is very caring and responds to emails within the hour at the latest. The content can be dense and new questions on exams can be difficult but go to office hours and he understands the wording is weird and you get points back

Very hard class, wouldn't recommend if its for a prereq, take it somewhere else with someone else. Exams are so uncalled for

Exams are 70% stuff you have seen before, but the other 30% is a hail mary tbh. His lectures are ALL over the place and can't stay focused. It really is a self taught class. Practicals are easy if you just memorize. He is a really nice guy though and knows a lot so he is nice to talk to, just terrible at teaching. You can redo the quizzes till 100%

HE'S HORRIBLE! It's so unfair because he literally made his exams open note and on zoom last semester and completely changed it this year. I feel like his class ruined my life. It's actually so defeating idk how anyone does relatively okay in his class. His exams are gibberish -- if everyone is getting a D average on the exam, professors; its you.

Gump is overall a great professor. I personally did not attend the lecture but he offers extra credit if you answer the clicker questions. Exams are 70% of questions you have already seen before from the weekly quizzes. Lots of coursework but it helps even out your grade from practical and exams. The practicals are tedious, so study ahead of time.

Jay is a nice guy but he can fall short as a lecturer at times. Lectures can be disorganized with him skipping thru slides, but lecture slides aren't rlly important as most information (70%) for exams and quizzes stems from textbook and learning objectives, with the rest being new questions requiring you to understand material to properly solve.
