Comment:

He is the best professor that i have ever met in Calvin so far. I love him and his classes. I enjoyed his classes a lot. He does not give a lot of homework. But he gives quizzes for every class. But they were not hard and if you read through your notes before class you will be fine. I LOVE HIM!!! Take his classes if you have chance ;)

We had daily quizzes, but they are easy. The final exam will be easy if you study for the daily quizzes. There are many labs and hands-on activities, and he makes it easy to understand.

Amazing Prof! He goes out of his way to get students caught up who have missed class, such as being sick, and really cares about his students. He creates a safe environment in his classroom making everyone feel comfortable. He makes the environment so fun that it doesn't actually feel like a class.

Comment:

Jadrich is by far the best prof I've had here at Calvin. Gets to know each student by names and makes the material so easy to comprehend. You take a quiz every day on the day before which is SO helpful: you don't even need to study for the exam. Seriously. Do the quizzes and review for 15 minutes and you're golden. This guy is seriously amazing.

He is one of my favorite profs! He teaches the material so clearly. He gives quizzes every day, but they are actually really helpful--especially when it comes to the final exam.

I think Professor Jadrich is very good at teaching Sces 121. He was very clear and it was generally very easy. It was one of my favorite classes.

This guy is great! He is so funny and makes class fun even though it is pretty long. We hardly ever just have to sit and listen to lectures. He explains things well and is definitely my favorite prof.

Comment:

Very good explaining concepts and making sure everyone understands before moving on. Requires journals for every class but that's all for homework most of the time. Studying for tests is easy because you remember so much from class. Learn a lot and remember a lot as long as you think about the material.

Jim is a great professor. I had him for the Physics for education students and I LOVED it. Im kinda a science-y guy so the class was kinda easy for me but a little difficult for others. He explains things VERY well and he's a really FUNNY guy!

I absolutely love this guy! I find his sense of humor hilarious and this class is really fun. He rarely lectures and has you doing fun activities for most of the class. He even lets his class out early most of the time. His tests are challenging though.
