Reviews of professor Jason Turcotte

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
While I definitely can understand why some may not like Doctor Turcotte, I personally thought he was what a good professor should be: honest, challenging, articulate, and passionate about his subject matter. If something needed work, he told you. He taught how important having a willingness to fail is, because failure is part of life.

Dr. Turcotte is an amazing and thorough professor. Participation is worth a lot of points so I suggest talking and attending class. Read the material and review his powerpoints and you'll do well on the quizzes. I've taken three courses with him so far and I can't stress enough the best dry humor and how interesting the class was!

Took this class in Fall 2022, highly recommend. The information is applicable to any major, not just comm. Super interesting and Turcotte's class is interactive with open discussions and fun videos. Topics: Film, Music, PR. Participation matters. Read your textbook! follow his recommendations for tests ( all in person exams). Final &media project.

Honestly, not super accessible outside of class and he clearly picks favorites, which is annoying.

A very informative and organized class. Turcotte presents the material well and encourages lots of in-class participation to keep everyone engaged. Assignments are light and sometimes consist of group-projects, with an essay near the end of the course. Very cool guy, would definitely recommend!

Dr. Turcotte makes his lectures very interesting. You also have to participate in class or you will lose points.

Prof Turcotte is a great teacher. 3 big assignments, no hw or quizzes. Final exam was hard. Hes funny and if you have any questions or need help, hes more than happy to help you. I would definitely take him again.

The professor is great. Just make sure to study and understand all the concepts when taking the final exam. He provides a study guide, which makes it easier. Homework consists of discussion posts, and the lectures were very interesting, as they discussed current media and would def take again.

Turcotte is one of the best communication professor! This class was actually pretty fun, and his lectures are entertaining. We had like 6 quizzes (not hard, pretty simple and straightforward), 2 exams, 1 short paper, and a group project. NO HW

This class will be a breeze if you just show up to class, pay attention to lectures, and use the study guides (for exams). I really like Professor Turcotte, super nice guy with a good sense of humor. His lectures are interesting and he makes the content easier to understand. I would take more of his classes :)
