Reviews of professor Matthew Jacobs

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
probably the easiest lab course at eastern, especially with prof jacobs. definitely take this lab with him if you aren't that great at science. each lab has a worksheet to finish by the end of class, and you have a quiz after each class that you can use your notes for. there is no final or midterm, so passing this lab is really easy

Jacobs was a wonderful professor. Made biology interesting with anecdotes and fun references. He didn't care if you were on your phone or laptop as long as you weren't disturbing the class. Very relaxed and very kind about attendance and grading.

Ngl I was kinda bored with this class. I would dread going since it wasn't that fun and the labs seemed pointless. Nonetheless, it was a very easy class and I was never once worried about failing. He was also a great guy and helped when needed. Just definitely sit next to people that you would want to work with for the remainder of the semester.

Overall it was a pretty good class, super easy. The labs are done with partners so be careful who you sit next to. Reminds me of my high school teachers, super nice guy though. Every assignment outside of a quiz or a lab is graded pretty easily and has a clear rubric. Show up and you will do fine!

You have to go to every lab and they're pretty pointless labs. The professor is nice overall but sometimes he assumes the students don't know what they're talking about and aren't smart. He'll correct you by saying the same thing you just said, which is frustrating. Easy A but I'd pick a different professor.

This was one of my fav classes and prof. My class was around 2 hours and it was lecture the whole time. If you showed up to class and did the work you will pass easy. He was a very nice and approachable person. Definitely recommend

As a psych major I took bio lecture and lab with him. Nice guy, lecture can get a bit boring but he does go into some details that may not be on the powerpoint. Tests are mostly multiple choice, fill in the blank, and some t/f questions. If you ask questions he will answer and clarify. Replied quickly to my emails and is a timely grader.

Enjoyed it. Took the night class 7pm-9:45pm. Was always let out early & he was pretty funny, tried to make lectures interesting. Had a short hw & quiz each week, 4 tests, and 2 writing assignments. Gave good, helpful feedback and wanted his students to do well. If you're willing to take a late class, totally recommend his class!

Jacobs is nice and ready to help with any problems you have. The labs were overall enjoyable, and he made sure to explain everything. Only homework was an online review quiz weekly, and it was open note.
