[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His rate my professor is pretty bad dating back to 2017. Even his high ratings say the TAs teach all the information or you have to teach yourself from the book,[/quote]

His average is actually pretty middle of the road, but it’s interesting that the scores tend to be either 5 or 1.  It looks like the bright students really enjoy his class and the ones who struggled really struggled. The kids who rated him 5 all said reading the textbook was key. The reviews actually back his argument that these kids don’t know how to study. They expect to be spoon fed. [/quote]

Pre 2020

Professor Jones is very intelligent and definitely knows his materials. However, he's horrible at presenting the materials

Rated 4, you are forced to learn independently.

Super disorganized and poor at explaining concepts. Definitely would not recommend

Rated 5: he's not easy at all and can be a very obnoxious figure

average on every exam was a 55% and a 38% on the final.

Most of the learning takes place during the group problems with the TAs. The lectures are pretty tough to understand

Avoid. Half the class received C. Great lectures but tests are v. difficult; it's impossible to do all 10,000 provided practice q's that can pop up on them. Class test av. was 50. I had an A- with Mahal (she's great), did 2x the work for Jones and still did much worse. It's very hard to gauge if you understand material from the way he tests you.

Rated 3: Lectures aren't clear and tests are designed for you to do bad.

He is one of the rudest people I have ever met[/quote]

If I cared, I would go through and cut and paste all the 5s that said he was brilliant and a great teacher & those that are complaining just didn’t do the work. There was also clearly an organized effort to post bad reviews when the letter was sent complaining about him, just judging by the timing and language of the complaints. But I really don’t want to waste my time because it’s clear you have some sort of weird obsession with college profs always being the one to blame when students fail. [/quote]

Very few even the 4’s and 5’s complain about him being rude, you have to teach yourself from the book of use the TAs. Many tell you to avoid him and go to the other teacher. [/quote]
