Comment:

If you are easily-offended. Don't take him. If you don't like going to class or participating in class, don't take him. If you like using your phone or laptop in class, don't take him. However, if you are ready to work and do things the way he wants, you will learn a lot from this class. It's not an easy A, but it is your most useful option.

If you can take Dr. J, I fully recommend it. Dr. J is my favorite professor at USC and you will learn more real life skills in this class than any others. The class starts and finishes tough, but if you listen and do your work you should get a A.

IF YOU HAVE ANXIETY DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Consistently puts students down. For teaching a communication class, doesn't know how to communicate clearly. Insane amount of work. Extremely picky about word choice. PICK ANY OTHER TEACHER!!!!

Comment:

Professor Jenkinson is by far the worst professor I have had at USC. He openly critiques your writing and speeches, while you are still arguing your case. Additionally, he cares more about being right than his students actually learning material. He is so rude and apathetic that it makes him appear unapproachable and detached. Do not take him.

Comment:

Dr. Jenkinson cares about his job a lot, but this class is unreasonably hard due to the large quantity of work. I highly suggest taking another professor if you don't want to spend half your homework period doing busy work for this class.

Professor Jenkinson is the best professor I've had at USC. He goes above and beyond to teach you about business and about life. This class requires a lot of work, but in my opinion it was well worth it. If you're looking to really learn, this class is for you.

Comment:

Dr. J is an awesome professor. This class is admittedly a lot of work, but you will leave the class having learned a lot and feeling more like an adult. Do the work that is expected of you and getting a good grade won't be difficult. Slacking off will bury you in this course though, certainly not an easy A

Dr. J is a great professor. There is a ton of work throughout the entire semester, but you will learn a ton. Do your work and stay on top of things and its a great class.

Comment:

This won't be an easy A, but the class is well worth the effort. There is no final, but a group project that you start working on mid-way through the semester. Jenkinson has a strict no-technology policy, and it may be annoying, but I understand why he does it. Make sure you do your homework and buy a used version of the textbook.

Comment:

*READ RUBRIC BEFORE CLASS+PUT PHONE IN BAG BEFORE YOU WALK IN* his main lesson of this class is to prepare u for the real world, he might seem tough at first but he has great sense of humor and wants u to succeed. Learn to be comfortable and this will be the most rewarding class you take. don't take if u don't want to learn or try, if u do ur fine.

Comment:

Dr. Jenkinson has very high expectations, but clearly lays out what he wants. At times, assignments can become stressful (particularly the group project and speech/paper), but if you read the rubrics and check your email often to know what Dr. J wants, as well as go to office hours (key!) and to the CBC, you'll most likely get a B+ or A.

Class is mandatory, and you must be on time. It is a challenging course, but a great growing and learning experience. Cares for students and is always available to them. Would recommend.

Dr. J will teach you applicable skills and concepts used in business world. He has changed the way I write emails, texts and how to speak to others. Its a great class but you will get frustrated a ton either by him or the grades he gives you. He starts stern at first but later is a very caring prof who wants you succeed but you have to give effort.

Comment:

Dr. J's class was the most difficult class I've take at USC, but the most rewarding. I have grown more in this class than any other, due to his tough love. He teaches you to become detail oriented and how to be an adult. You will certainly be frustrated many times during his class, although you will appreciate it in the end. 100% would recommend.

Comment:

Dr. J is one of the best teachers I've had here at USC. He truly cares about his students, but be prepared to work harder than you ever have in any other class. You will need the textbook for assignments and make sure you pay attention to every detail in his emails, instructions, etc. It was a difficult class, but I learned a lot.

You will learn how to deal with a terrible boss if you take this class. He does not tolerate any excuses, the work for this class seems outrageous but he is trying to teach you how to act in a professional environment. He overreacts, gets angry at the smallest things. He also doesn't post grades online. Take another teacher for less of a headache!

Terrible. By the end of the semester you kind of like him but it's not worth it. More homework for this class than the rest of my classes combined. It's all pointless busy work and all of it is graded and harshly graded. To get an A from his is unheard of. No phones, participation is a huge part of your grade, and your emails to him are graded.

Dr. J is the only professor I would take the time to write a review about. He takes the time to get to know if, even if it doesn't seem like it. He teaches for you to learn and grow, not to get an A. Take the time you need on the group project, you can't finish it in a day. If he taught anymore classes, I would take them in a second.

Comment:

Dr. J is one funny/sassy/Britt. He has been my favorite professor so far. He is a tough teacher because he makes you pay attention to detail (the little things matter). Half of the semester is really easy and the second half of the semester is the group project. The group project sucks but when you finally complete it you feel accomplished.

Tough grader, take with someone else for a better grade, had 3 A's and a B and he gave me a C+. Group project is a mess, group dragged me and my GPA down. I worked hard on the group project but no one else did, and I suffered.
