lectures are a bit confusing. his examples are good but sometimes he forgets something like a minus sign which is kinda of important in physis. overall...good guy..want's you to learn...still has to improve his teaching style making key item clearer.

Had I any inclination for learning physics he ruined it completely. Good for challenging physics major people but very inadequate approaching general physics crowd. Many said heĆ¢€™s unreasonable ...I agree. Thanks for nothing.

Jon is the best! He's tough but fair. The class was rigorous but for what it was, it was still interesting and enjoyable. This is college, so what do you expect. He's extremely helpful as a TA and equally helpful as a teacher.

I don't even have Jon as a TA anymore, but I still go to him for help. He always seems to understand everything I ask him about...don't know how anyone could say he lacks understanding of the subject...

Lacks depth of understanding in the subject. Good for high school or low level courses, but may cause confusion to students later on due to indepth understanding of the subject.

He's not a professor (yet), he's a TA, but I've learned more from Jon than my real professor. He's awesome.
