Reviews of professor Jonathan Bennett

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you are interested in plant ecology and are willing to put in the effort, Jon is an excellent thesis supervisor. He will challenge you but you will learn a lot!

He did not seem like he wanted to be there. I think he wants to work for the university but has to teach to do his research there. Definitely cares more about you being there than helping you understand. Rambles a lot.

Good guy, just needs to keep it real. I've met many proffs like him over the years and the issue always is that they are too educated. They know sooo much and have an incredibly hard time getting on our level. He goes off on too many tangents and needs to just keep to the script. 50% of the graphs he uses shouldnt be used-they are too much!!

Try to avoid if you can. Definitely cares more about the students showing up for class than actually helping them learn. Posts slides and will ramble on about them for about 5 minutes and eventually confuse himself or continues the ramble and contradict what he just said. Very confusing to follow the lectures.

Not a fan. He cannot explain things in a way that students can understand and loses you right away. Dr.Bennet only cares about himself and is hard to learn from. AVOID.

The worst professor that I have ever had. He was a bit of a narcissist when it comes to feedback, even though his tests aren't that difficult. Not very approachable and doesn't like when students question things in his lectures. He thinks he knows everything, and I definitely sensed that which made me not like him even more. Don't take his class.

His lectures are engaging, but this course will be challenging if you do not have a plant and soil background. He will help you if you put in the effort and show interest.
