Hands down the best professor Ive had since starting at ESC! Professor Jacobs checks in a few times each week to see how the students are progressing with the module and offers suggestions on the assignments. He has a true passion and commitment to seeing his students succeed. The feedback that he offered after each assignment was very helpful.

Comment:

Professor Jacobs was one of my favorite professors thus far. He was sympathetic to individual situations and responded to questions quickly. He even jumped in on a few discussions. There was quite a bit of homework/discussions/and papers, but overall I did learn a ton from his class and hope to have him for a different class in the future.

Comment:

Best online course professor I've had so far! He's extremely engaged in the individual module discussions, a fair grader, and I can tell he truly wants all of his students to succeed. Very knowledgeable on the subject of HR management, provides encouragement throughout the course, and is lenient in providing extensions for assignments. A++++

Professor Jacobs is one of the few professors that I have come across that actually participates in the discussions. He truly wants to make sure that his students are learning and engaged in their school work. I plan on taking another class with him in the fall and I am looking forward to it. If you have a chance to take a class with him, do it.

Comment:

The Human Resource Management online course was a great course. Participation and discussions are necessary, but that is usually the case for online courses. Professor Ian Jacobs does a great job teaching the course and he is very involved with the discussions. He gave plenty of time to complete assignments.

Comment:

Not sure I selected the right course code, but as far a HRMS-3015-01 is concerned, the class very informative. Ian was on time with grades after every module so you could track your progress, he was also very responsive in providing answers to questions and keeping the class on track. I thoroughly enjoy his class and the outline of the course.

Professor Jacobs was the best! I wish he could teach all of my classes. He gives great feedback and has interesting things to say. There was 5 modules with a discussion and writing portion in each and 2 group projects. There is a term paper due at the end of the semester. There are no surprises and you know what is expected of you.

Professor Jacobs is a great teacher. He encourages participation from the class to really get different perspectives on topics. The coursework is challenging, but nothing that is unbearable. He gives great feedback and as long as you communicate with him about issues for doing assignments, he is fair and will work with you. Great teacher!

Overall, hes a very willing professor, he gives you many chances to have something specified if you have questions. His notes and links are actually super interesting (my favorite was How great leaders inspire action by Simon Sinek!) He's a fair grader as long as you participate in the discussions. First time doing an 8 week course, Loved this one

(2019SP1-HRMS-3015-01) Human Resource Management - Professor Jacobs provided exceptional resources, information, and input throughout the course study. He was active on the discussion boards and sent emails to remind students of deadlines and to motivate the class. An absolutely wonderful experience. Thank you, Professor Jacobs!

Ian Jacobs is the best instructor I have had for an online class at Empire State College. He provides continuous timely feedback that is helpful and motivational. I hate the discussion piece of online classes but his topics for discussions had context you could respond to in multiple ways. Responses were varied and interesting.

I took Staffing the Org. in Spring 19. Would recommend! The topics learned were very interesting. Decent workload. There were two group projects and a large term project. Professors Jacobs was flexible and understanding with me when I was behind. If you are behind, tell him! He allowed me an extension a few times which I greatly appreciated!

Great Professor! Very responsive to your questions and provides positive feedback. Quick with grading assignments. Lots of posts but manageable if you stay on top of things. Final project is kinda long, but if you stay with the timeline and complete the assignment, its not overwhelming. Overall, a great class. Highly recommend this professor.

Professor Jacobs made his expectations very clear from the start. He sent announcements at the start of every module and was very accessible throughout the course. He graded fairly but you have to work for your grade. He graded assignments in a timely manner and I would definitely take another course he was teaching.

Great Professor, class is very interesting, only bad part is the two group assignments. The course in general was very helpful, the assignments weren't too much, plenty of time to complete anything and everything, super relaxed with grading.

Comment:

Professor Jacobs is probably the best professor I've had at ESC. The reading wasn't too crazy but textbook was used every module. Participating matters but he is clear about expectations and gives great feedback if you missed the mark. He is understanding about life outside of class (for those with kids, etc). Easy to reach via email.
