Jacob is an amazing and very caring prof. Very intelligent. His classes are easy to get a good grade in if you participate and do all of the assignments.

Had us read lots of articles and respond to them and I just felt like there wasnt really any point to them. Also we never got feedback on the final essay we produced just a final grade in the class. He was an ok teacher though and if I had to take a writing class again I would be ok taking him again.

Took just for writing instead ended up being a business class. Literally had to do a group project proposal for a product and had to learn about business terms unrelated to writing because it is supposed to teach us about being rhetoric. I got out business for a reason. Overall, lenient, a lot of homework, learned nothing.

Jacob was awesome to have as a professor for WR 227. His grading criteria was very clear and you could always reach out to him with drafts if you needed help to make sure you were meeting all the criteria. Very lenient with deadlines and was willing to accept work past the due date, but don't rely on it. Did a lot of meaningful work, no busy work.

Super easy, really kind professor that really wants you to succeed. He's new so he's still got that teaching twinkle in his eye that shows he's truly optimistic about his students success. Take advantage of the extra help he offers, it really helps. I highly recommend!

He basically gives you 100% on everything as long as you turn it in. The only thing he really grades is the final paper, his class can be kind of boring, but he's okay.

Jacob is one of my all time favorite teachers I have had to date. He cares a lot about his students and makes sure to meet one on one for feedback twice a term. There's a reading about twice a week with a short response and 3 major project papers, but you have time to prepare. Great class with great discussion, defiantly recommend!
