Very enjoyable professor. Very passionate about topics in class, and makes the class bearable if you are not all that interested in the topic. Has a great sense of humor which makes the time go by quickly.

Little known fact: J. Jones was/is the lead singer for 90s band, Crash Test Dummies. Ask him about "Afternoons and Coffeespoons"...he'll gush. The whole bald-thing is a red herring.

Awesome. Attractive. Intelligent. As long as you remain interested and read the books, you will do fine. JBJ is obviously there because he loves what he does.

Wonderful man, very down to earth. Has a great sense of humor and made class enjoyable with his humor and sarcastic comments. Has a passion for British literature and although it tended to get boring from time to time, Prof Jones tried to get the students as involved as possible. I would definitely recommend taking a class with him if you can!

Nice guy, very into the subject matter. His lectures are never boring, just keep up with the reading. Not a very harsh grader, either. I'd recommend his course to any English major.

Very easy going and understanding teacher. He's there to help when needed. A tough but a very fair grader when it comes to papers. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an English class.

Comment:

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen seemed like an interesting topic at first but that idea went out the window a long time ago. 12 books required for the class, minimum of 60 pages to read a night. Prof. Jones is a very strict grader and expects scholoarly written papers. Exam is ridiculous. Wouldn't take him if I were you. Does offer extra credit.

Comment:

He is pretty much the definition of the "The Man." As long as you show up, read, take interest, maybe talk a little in class, and do the online requirements, you'll come out with a good grade. Awesome guy. Loves his wife and son. Probably one of my favorite ENG professors. Take him if you can.

This teacher is amazing. Show up to class, participate and you will get a good grade. He does not try to fail anyone. Lets the students make up the test and gives an exact copy of it before the exam. GREAT teacher. Highly recommend him.

ENG 458 Very fun class.Great guy, funny teacher.Very open about his life.Kind of sarcastic to the know-it-alls,but VERY nice&understanding.No papers or tests but a bunch of online projects that were kinda annoying but also fun.Very unclear what your grade will be&on how serious proj will be weighed.Cool experience,just a little unnerving overall.

I took him for Victorian Novel. EASY EASY EASY! No test or papers! Only at the end of the semister is when there is work but it's really easy work and fun! There is a lot of reading though but for me was a great way to end my last semister at CCSU.

I loved him. I can see where some people might say he's arrogant, but it didn't bother me. Very enthusiastic about the material, verrry intelligent. Slow with returning papers so you have NO idea how you're doing, plus he doesn't give many assignments. But overall, fair grader, extremely nice, fun class, and always returned my emails within a day.

Comment:

Dr.Jones is a wonderful teacher who makes the class fun and you do end up learning from him. He is very slow to hand back papers, so therefore, you don't know how you are doing. Assigned an exorbitant quantity of work. Lots of reading, writing, blogging, posting comments on others blogs and social bookmarking. Very softspoken.
