Comment:

Jamey is a spectacular professor! This was a six week intensive astronomy class. It was mostly graded based on quizzes/labs with a final at the end. discussion posts are a letter grade so make sure to do that! The labs are interesting/engaging and the quizzes aren't hard if you read. He also gives extra credit every week which can really add up!

Jamey is a hardworking professor that only wants the best for his students. If you participate in class and catch on to his witty banter, you will most certainly succeed. He'll help you with any question you may have, and make sure you ask a lot of questions. The tests are tough, but the skills you gain because of his class can't be traded.

Professor Thompson is a really nice man. Before or after class you can always go to his office to get help. He really wants his students to do good! His tests are really hard have to really study! He even tells you, you have to study in order to pass the class!!!

Comment:

He is a very nice guy, and he cares about his students. But, he makes too many jokes and is too vague about topics. His teaching style is handout heavy and most of it does not show up on the tests. He expects a student to memorize copious amounts of material. His tests are very hard because of the way they are written.

Comment:

Jamey is probably the most chill professor you could ever have! Math and science have never been my thing, but thanks to him I survived and aced Intro to Astronomy. He was funny, informal, and very understanding. DO THE WORK (and the EC) and you should have a solid A! Can't recommend this cool dude enough.

Comment:

Great professor. Lectures are very funny. Jamey knows his stuff! However this is a class you have to absolutely work for it. Lots of memory required. He's very accessible outside of class, and available for help, but if you aren't a great test taker I'd recommend Kelly, as her tests are more on recognition than just memory recall.

Comment:

Have him for only lab this semester and love him. He is so outgoing and fun, and will answer a million questions per class if you asked that many. There is a quiz every week on what you did in lab the prior week, and there are extra credit opportunities to bring up your quiz grades. Would recommend to anyone.

Best biology (and overall science) teacher I have ever had! The class is definitely not "a cake walk" but he is willing to help you in anyway that he can and offers extra credit to help boost your grade. If you struggle with science like I do, this is your dude!

You can tell how much he loves his job. I highly recommend taking his class if you enjoy hard work and laughing while you struggle. If you don't like science now, you will after a semester with him. He's really friendly and he thrives on challenging his students. Stay away if you don't appreciate hard work. Sit in the front row and don't miss class

Dude, Jamey is a fabulous professor! He is very passionate and really drives home the importance of HOMEOSTASIS. Get it tattooed on your body for bonus points. Seriously, I did. He made me want to learn more and more. If you put forth some effort, TAKE ALL ONLINE quizzes and attend all your labs, you will pass with flying colors.

Best professor and I loved his class! He understands that his class is an elective for most of his students. Jamey does not want you to stress about the course and doesn't really assign homework. I ended up with an A so I'd suggest getting 100's on all online quizes and focus on studying the handouts for the tests.

Jamey is one of the best professors I have taken thus far. He is so funny and makes every class memorable. Will truly miss his classes. The class is definitely hard and there's tons of work but if you put in effort you'll do fine.

Comment:

He is absolutely hilarious. One of the funniest people I've ever met. Down-to-earth guy who will always answer questions and help you learn, but won't hand you an A. That has to be earned and it's a struggle. Difficult class, but I never wanted his lectures to end. I'd take every class with him.
