Very strict on cell phone policy, doesnt even want to see them. Take notes through whole lecture and study with the book and notes for the exams. Funny professor but kind of treats you like a child.

Comment:

Dr. Jewett is a very good lecturer, which was great because all of the exam content comes from the lectures and the book is more used as a review. The grading is 100-80% on exams, up to 20% can come from research if you choose to do it. Absolutely hates technology use in his class and if he sees you on a phone or laptop he will kick you out.

Comment:

He is a fun professor! He is very strict about having phones out in class so don;t do it! He has many pop quizzes but they never hurt your grade just as long as you had less than 3 absences. Test were fairly easy as long as you paid attention in class but by doing extra reading in the book you would have more success. There was also no homework.

Jewett is a very good professor. Everything that he says in class WILL be on the tests. I spent a lot of time studying for his exams, but if you know the material front and back you will do just fine on the exams.

Comment:

I thought Dr. Jewett was great. This course is extremely interesting but also quite challenging, as it involves the biology in drug use. I loved it, Your grade comes from JUST exams so prepare to do well on them. Study, study, study and go to class. Only way you get info. He is willing to help if you don't understand. He makes it really fun!

Comment:

Jewett is a little intimidating one on one, but makePsychology really fun to learn about with a lot of real life examples and interesting lectures. The class is graded on a few exams and a paper so there aren't a lot of easy points earned, but as long as you attend class and take good notes the exams follow the notes completely.

Dr. J. is awesome! I have taken 3 classes with him in total, and I loved every single one! He's a very smart guy, and if you put in the work, you'll love his class. It is so obvious that he knows what he is talking about, his stories are relevant to the content and he's hilarious. One of the best professors at UWEC, but he expects a lot of you.

Comment:

Jewett's class is lecture heavy, but he makes them interesting. He tells a lot of stories so get ready to laugh, even if they aren't funny. He is very strict about no phones and being ready to go at the start of class. If you listen and pay attention he will respect you. Only downfall he is a slow grader.

Comment:

Jewett is a different person one-on-one than he is in class. He will crack jokes and tell stories in class and is very informative in a classroom setting, but is short, direct, and cold one-on-one. He will ask you questions on the exam that were not covered in class or in the readings. Go over your notes everyday because you might have a quiz.

Comment:

Jewett knows what he's talking about and makes you learn. He tells lots of stories that relate to the subject and will make you laugh. Take good notes and write down things that he says, study for every exam, and thoroughly read his expectations for the short paper. He cares and respects his students, very good guy. STAY OFF YOUR PHONE IN CLASS

I do not like this professor. I was really looking forward to this class and it was a complete let down. It's disorganized, weak and I felt like I wasted time every time I was in class. Just a total waste of time. If you're a psych major, I'd take a different class to fulfill any reqs because this class just isn't worth it.

Takes forever to hand back exams/quizzes. Does not give clear expectations on assignements. Exams are nearly 200 questions. He hates teaching this class so he does not put in the effort. Would recommend not taking him ever.

Comment:

Horrible jokes. Very condescending. Doesn't let you finish your sentence. He threatens you if you take your phone out by saying we will have to lecture the class and be graded for it. If you're late twice its counted as an absence. Its ironic because he lectures about how to be considerate of others and their feelings which he lacks terribly.

Horrible Horrible Horrible!!!! He has no sense of time management and his test questions do not relate to the notes at all. He takes forever to grade and he grades so unfairly. I was given an F once on an assignment. All I had to do was write 5 topics down, but I guess he didn't like my topics. I talked to him about it and he said nothing.

Professor Jewett was pretty strict in class and tried to be funny a lot... it didn't really word. He would randomly yell at students and then 5 seconds later he would be fine. He's really intimidating and not very good at explaining assignments. Hard to follow in lectures also; he skips around.

Comment:

Jewett is very clear when it comes to what he expects for the 5 exams and 1 paper you complete for this course. Very lecture heavy and you must attend class because his notes vary from the textbook. As a person however, he is extremely intimidating and uses rude tone when speaking to you.

Comment:

Alright, so when it comes to the academic part of it (notes, tests, etc.) Jewett is not bad. He gives lots of notes, but makes sure you are well prepared for the test. However, as a person, he is less than pleasant and pretty condescending when you ask questions. His class has little homework and one paper. Grade is based on 5 tests and paper.

Comment:

Jewett is a fun guy, makes jokes during lecture often and tells stories. Class grade is based on 5 exams that are very, very hard. Be prepared to study hard and still get B-'s on the tests. Inconsistent grader and is not clear on expectations. Took this class for my major; avoid if possible. The work is way more difficult than it's worth.
