Comment:
I just finished Dr. Jacobs class - he is really into his job and always updates the class on current events, which I liked. You should go to class, but don't worry if you miss a few. There are review sessions with the TA before each exam. THESE ARE EXTREMELY HELPFUL FOR THE EXAMS AND TELL YOU WHAT WILL BE ON IT.

Dan is a really cool old guy who has been at miami for 40 or 50 years. He told me but i can't remember. Read the book and the post articles and you should be fine. Go to class if you want but bring your computer because it can be pretty boring. He has a lot of experience and the stories he tells are classic.

Good teacher but it can be difficult to pay attention sometimes.The hardest part of the class was on the test there were two VERY SPECIFIC questions regarding articles from the WPW.They were selected from anout 50 that we were supposed to read so it was hard to remember the details he asked questions on. Overall, very good though, I learned a lot.

By and large, he is a good guy. The class is very boring, and i love this stuff. Read the book- especially the summaries, and the washington post. Love his stories though- here is a guy with a LOT of life experience

Wow...this class is boring and I'm a poli sci major, so this stuff is my world. Attendance is not required or necessary. Just read the Washington Post Weekly and the textbook and you'll be fine. He goes so far off topic in class that it's hard to follow. Do work outside of class and you'll find it to be an easy A.

jacobs is a nice guy but his class is really boring. attendance is really not even neccessary. all that the class requires is reading the washington post and the text book before a test. poli sci is my major though and this class was very boring. NO participation at all, everybody just sit on their computer the whole class really.

He's a great old man who knows what he's talking about. He gets off subject a lot, but the tests are pretty straight forward. Make sure you read the newpaper articles, that's the only thing. I like his class overall.
