This was the worst class I'd ever taken in school. It's insane to have to complete 40 major assignments in the allotted time. Some activities, such as the labs, have 8-page long media, and it is extremely confusing. Because the teacher did not post any videos or comments during this class period, one must learn solely by reading the book.

I am attending Harvard and decided to take this class because I heard about Dr. Jacome from my friends at Princeton. His course is easy to navigate. All the work is posted in advance. Lab reports are challenging but he works with you to improve and you end up writing perfect reports. I am doing this now in all my classes and learned how to cite.

I took him for winter class it was heavy work but expected, (8 discussions, 8 lab reports, 8 essays and a final paper). He posted everything on the first day, all the assignments were due the last day. I would say he is a fair grader and he drops your lowest grade from the categories (discussion, lab, essay). You need your textbook for discussions.
