Comment:
He's a good lecturer, when he's actually there. He really knows what he's talking about, but sometimes he gets distracted by real-world scenarios and goes off on a bit of a tangent. He's funny and incredibly intelligent, but he's a little difficult to follow along with at some points.

Comment:
Prof. Jaques was an interesting enough lecturer, but it was obvious he was tired of teaching the same course for so many years. He often forget materials, would go off on unrelated tangents, and some days he wasn't even there -- just had his TA do it.

In Professor Jaques class he actually challenges me and allows me to think for myself. Jaques is one of the best professors I've had in a while. His class is hard and grueling but it's also my favorite class thus far.

He's really great at pulling the answers out of the class discussion-he rarely lectures. He guides the class discussion so that the students come to the answers themselves. He also has a pretty good sense of humor.

Comment:
Professor Jacques' Introduction to Islam was THE most intellectually stimulating class I had in my time at IU. I learned so much that truly enriched my view of the world, and taught me a great deal about a religion I was brought up to believe was exotic.

The best teacher I have ever had. He gives a lot of reading and it is really hard to fall asleep during his lectures because of his enthusiasm while teaching. The tests are pretty hard but as long you review your notes you will be fine.
