Prof Jones is a kind and reasonable guy; he's extremely smart in his field. Sometimes, there is a disconnect between the material he teaches in lecture and our actual assignments. Honestly, I don't think you NEED to go to lecture to know what you need to do for hw. The big grades in the class are writing assignments. Prof will help you if you need.

The lectures are soooooo boring. But you need to go to because he assigns reading quizzes and you need an access code for them. Besides papers, which there's only really only 3, everything is completion. Discussion posts, reading quizzes, are all completion. He's a very sweet person and it seems like he cares about you learning stuff than grades.

Prof. Jones seems like a nice guy, but his lectures are so boring and unengaging that it was really difficult to get into the subject material. He talks very slow and his presentations don't seem to have much structure or thought put into them.

Professor Jones is genuinely so cool and such a nice guy! He opens up the floor for students to share their ideas, and never tries to force the class to one specific conclusion. Its also cool when he mentions his own interests - he seems to be a role model for kids with niche/geeky interests like me to go on and do great things!

Jones is a really great guy that makes this class pretty easy to pass. Your grades come from two short papers and two projects that take no more than an hour, as well as a lecture attendance question. The papers are graded lightly and you're not assessed on your knowledge on any of the readings. Interesting and fairly easy class for a humanity req.
