Reviews of professor JL Zoeckler

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His projects and assignments are so ambiguous that you cant get a good grade unless you talk directly with him. I would recommend office hours if youre assigned him as your teacher. Otherwise, try to avoid having him as your ESP103 teacher as there are better teachers that have more specific grading rubrics.

Zoeckler is a nice guy but his grading is so ambiguous. He gave my group a bad grade on our final just for a few word choices that he did not like. Honestly, he needs to realize that super vague, creative projects aren't everyone's strong suit and people HAVE TO take this class.

I loved JL's class, I was always having a good time. He's a funny guy and wants to see you succeed. However, his grading criteria can be super ambiguous, which is hard to deal with when the projects themselves are ambiguous. you grade also rests on like, 3 projects. Either way, he's an awesome guy and super passionate about teaching.

JL is one of the most inspirational professors I have ever had. His office hours are super engaging and a HUGE help! I definitely recommend him for ESP 103!

JL'S class is like no class you have ever taken. It is not an easy A. But neither is the real world. He makes you earn your grade but he is there to help and there is a lot to take out of the class and from him

One of the best professors I have ever had. There is no doubt that the class is difficult but I can truly say that it has helped me in ways that I didn't expect. He was also extremely flexible and helpful when I feel sick halfway through the semester.

This is a very unorthodox class, which made it so fun and enjoyable. I had it at 8:30 and looked forward to it. Not an easy A, but a fun class that teaches you to think like you should in the real world.

JL was a lot of fun in class, but the projects that he had us complete were graded very harshly and it seemed like some people who put in hours and hours of work on their project suffered more in the gradebook than those who breezed by finishing the projects in one hour. His office hours aren't always the best because there's so many non-students.
