Reviews of professor Jonathan Belcher

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Belcher gives off the impression that he's teaching to be the "cool teacher" rather than to actually teach. In class he usually makes up example problems on the spot which leads to them not being solvable. He skips explaining what he's doing and expects his students to be able to just follow along. I would never take a class with him again.

Hardest class ive taken at CU, and its heavily because jon cares the least about this class. He makes you feel terrible for asking questions and is an unnecessarily tough grader

Jon doesn't "teach" other than on Fridays right before the weekly quiz. Most days he gives you the work and to let him know if you need help, which obviously everyone does because he didn't teach any of the material. If you ask him for help, he just repeats the question back at you and gets frustrated if you don't understand right away. Just don't.

the professor is not as bad as the other comments say, he is not the best but he definitely is not the worst. It is more of an independent class setting, you work with others around you and he sits at his desk until someone raises their hand. He is an ok professor and the work does get kinda difficult but its not as bad as some make it out to be

Jon is a chill dude, but the class is still well structured. Hes pretty understanding. There are two big projects (worth 10% of your total grade for the course, each) but he wasnt too hard grading those and the instructions were easy to follow. There are quizzes every week but theyre short. Im awful at math and still got an A.

Really heavy class, the course load is ridiculous for a 3 credit 1000 level math class You have multiple pages of worksheets to complete every other day, online assignments every other day, a heavy online review,weekly quizzes of Friday, tests that will tank your grade, and group projects he doesnt even teach you about on excel and R

Seemed nice to me. I could see how you might not like him as much as other people, but I thought he was pretty good.

Dr. Belcher is a super cool guy, and I was in a very small section (which made lectures a lot better because we could ask questions and discuss when we didn't understand). He does tend to talk about cool extensions more than basic content. I also went to another professor's lectures just because the material in this class is super hard.

Dr. Belcher is awesome. Period. I dont know what the other reviewers are talking about and I assume they are simply butthurt for doing bad in his class. He went out of his to make sure everyone was ready for each exam and would routinely stay later than the scheduled office hours to help students. Along with this, hes just a cool guy.
