Comment:

A wonderful professor. Go to the review sessions! It clears things up. And do lots and lots and lots of practice with old exams. He is very helpful and very clear about what you'll be expected to know. If you have an A by the final you'll be exempt from it too, so try to get that!

Comment:

Lectures are done on the board & his notes get VERY messy by the end of lecture. His redeeming quality is that he holds weekly review sessions. However, if you get lost in class, and can't make it to a review session you're in trouble. Not particularly helpful during office hours. Also a plus, he posts all of his old tests online for extra study.

Seriously, Jacobs is a fantastic professor. He definitely lives up to the hype and I HIGHLY recommend taking him if you have the chance. I hate 8AMs as much as the next person, but Jacobs makes it worth it. He's super energetic, has review sessions every Wednesday, and will tell you what's on the test in class. Also, he loves the word "rhombus."

Great professor but underestimating the material will earn you a bad grade so go to class and do the HW

EXCELLENT professor! He's so energetic, even at 8am, that it makes you want to learn the material. It's obvious how much he cares about his students and how much he wants us to learn and appreciate the material as much as he does. Seriously, take him if you have the opportunity! (also...he has a final exam exemption option if you have an A)

Comment:

Definitely lives up to his hype. This man is a god among engineering professors. Makes an effort to learn your name and actually cares about how you do. He explains material very well and made all lectures fun and engaging. I wish he would teach all the engineering courses at Tech. Definitely one of the best teachers I've ever had.

Amazing teacher. Learns everyone's name. Teaches hard concepts well. Keeps lecture so interesting that attendance is very high even for an 8am 1.5 class. Take his class if you have the chance.
