Erik made a genuine effort to help everyone as much as possible. I think he just suffers from lack of experience. He doesn't have great teaching skills, but he tries. I think he'll get better.

I really like his teaching style. He is able to keep up a pace that gets us through the material, but still answers questions and is very helpful.

Erik is a great teacher, bunch of whiners and snivelers here who can't put in the effort, apparently. Class is TOUGH, but Erik's always available for help outside of class, and puts up with any and all questions.

Erik is a great instructor. He is teaching an extremely hard subject so his classes are challenging, but he helps you out in any way that he can. He is an extremely intelligent person so he sometimes teaches above you but just raise your hand and he brings it to your level.

erik is easy to love because he's a great guy. his lectures aren't as smooth as other teachers' lectures, but he covers a lot of material. he is always polling the class for feedback on everything from lecture content to dress code. very friendly and works with people's schedule issues for homework and quizzes.

Physics is fun. But wow! So many resources for a student to keep up with. The labs were great and lectures were never long enough.

Physics is a hard subject but he teaches it well. It also helps that he's younger and in touch with what students are interested in. Erik's good sense of humor and great bod make showing up to class easy!

Erik is a very intelligent professor. He knows his material quite well. If you ever need help he is willing to give it to you. Tests/Quizes are detailed and you have to know the chapters. Overall he will help you learn and as long as you are willing to put 100% effort, you'll do just fine.

Great teacher. Class can be a lot of work online, but he is more helful than many campus instructors I have had. In four years school he is one of the best.

Erik is one of the best instructors in my list at Chemeketa. He is an intelligent teacher and knows his material quite well. Even though Physic is not easy to understand, Erik makes it easy to understand. He is there to help you when you put 100% of effort to do well in physic. He can answer all of your questions immediately. Like this instructor ;

Erik is the best teacher ;). He knows his material quite well. He is so helpful and an excited person. Physic is not such an easy stuff, but Erik makes it completely easy to understand. But, u need to read ur textbook before the class to understand what he is talking about. Erik is an intellegent instructor. Love taking classes with him ever :)

by the end of this school term I will have had 3 terms with Erik. He is awesome. Before starting physics I was soo afraid of it, he made me like physics and really enjoy coming to class and labs. Not even nearly as hard as Chem. Brush up on the algebra, and keep up with homework and you will do just fine!

He is one of the best teachers i had so far in college. i first thought that his class was going to be hard due to fact the number of material he gives out, BUT I WAS WRONG! he made easy and clear , so it wasn't that bad to the work. Besides, he's not that bad to look at either :)

Erik, is one of the most helpful professors I have ever had in undergrad. Class isn't easy, but he is there to help you the whole way.

I took all three terms of physics with Jensen. He is an awesome instructor who knows his stuff and explains everything clearly. His written HW really forces you to understand the concepts. The quizzes and exams are open book but are challenging. He is very understanding and cool. Note, this course requires you to be good at algebra and trig.

He is the best professor ever, I struggle in the beginning but he did everything he could to make me understand the concepts. he never let's any students down and on top of that, he sort of hot!

one of the BEST professors ever!! he's nice, but didn't ask much for help since i'm always intimidated to ask. he is SUPER nice & works with you to make sure you succeed in the class! definitely wants you to succeed, not fail. if you're willing to meet him half way, he will definitely do what he needs to help you pass the class. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Erik is an awesome teacher! Really clear, ground-up teaching style. Very good at working with you to get a good grade. He's not very approachable to talk 1-on-1 with, but if you do, he'll help you out. Totally recommend! He uses an older edition textbook (most of the homework is from it), so it is pretty inexpensive.

Great teacher!!!!!!!!! Breaks down tough physics concepts and makes them easy enough to understand. Grades very fairly.......

Eric is a very nice, friendly teacher. The material is hard, but he does what he can to make it understandable. If you are having trouble with the homework or tests just visit his office and he'll really help. He may seem like a scary bear but he's actually easy going and nice. :) I recommend him~

Erik is one of the best teachers Ive had. 200 level physics a very hard subject which isnt for everyone, but I came in with a trig background and no physics knowledge and I got an A+. If you put the effort in, Erik will meet you the rest of the way. He goes fast to cover all the material, but He's always willing to stop and help. Fantastic teacher.

Really good teacher overall.... but he's not a calculus or physics textbook. sometimes in order to get full credit for his assignments you really have to do a lot of digging and think outside of the box... Do not expect an A unless you have dedicated the time to the class or are willing to have no friends for the A!!! its 5 credits!!

I took Erik's class last spring. Entering into physics, I had spent years playing guitar in local bars, making a decent living at my age. I chose to go back to school to further my education, and Erik gave me the confidence to stick with it. His class is difficult for the average brain, but a B is what I will take for my effort put forth.

Erik is an awesome teacher! He comes off seeming hard and dismissive, but he is actually nice and an easy grader once you get to know him. He's kind of a nerd and can be really funny!

Erik Jensen is awesome. I didn't totally get him at first but, after the first couple weeks I got used to his style,and I realized he is an amazing teacher. He also has a really funny, dry sense of humor.

Erik Jensen is my favorite instructor at Chemeketa. His lectures are brilliantly clear. He encourages group interaction in lab and lecture. He walks by EACH student to check their work & offer assistance. Erik has a great sense of humor, which makes class fun. Great office hours. He grades fair and generously; gives you the benefit of the doubt.

I loved Erik's teaching style. He explained the concepts clearly and well, then gave us equations. He then had us do in class work with a partner which was basically tinkering with the equation to see how different values affect the outcome. Always bring your textbook and you should do well in the class.

He is an amazing teacher with a great sense of humor. His explanations are amazingly clear and as long as you give effort to learn you will do great.

I was an electronics student, but Erik actually inspired me to learn more about science and audit courses online. He made physics easy to understand and even clarified some questions I had about electronics theory. You need to have a good grasp of trigalgebra before this class. He doesn't waste time covering that. Best class I took at Chemeketa.

Excellent teacher that likes to have fun. He has a challenging, but easy to follow curriculum. Expect a heavy dose of homework each week. While the content of the class is difficult, Erik tries very hard to make it clear and fun to learn. He is realistic in expectations. Overall a great teacher! I would definitely recommend him.

It's a hard class, especially coupled with several other courses. But Erik is very helpful and understands special circumstances. Always helps if you come to his office hours with any questions. Also has a good sense of humor. Do all homework and study to succeed, this is science and engineering.

Erik was a very good professor to take the physics for engineers sequence with. He always was very relaxed with his teaching style and had realistic expectations for his students. His labs were educational, while not being too difficult. His tests were almost always passable and overall he is lenient with deadlines. Perfect teacher for a hard class

This guy is super caring. He's quiet and seems serious but he's really easy going and helpful!

He subbed for our class the last two weeks of school and did an excellent job, I learned more from him than our original teacher.

I had Erik for the entire PH201,202,203 sequence last year, he seems intimidating at first but he is a really nice guy and is eager to help you with whatever questions you have. He is a fair grader and his quizzes and tests are not the bad as long as you prepare. There are extra credit options available and you can get an A if you put in the work.

I hate how reviewers are all like "he doesn't care about me like my father never did...". Okay he's a teacher. His job is to teach, not take care of your neglect issues. He did a great job, he is always ready to help if you need, and he doesn't give you a show for ratings. He's genuine, which means more than expecting him to be a therapist. :)

Physics is a difficult subject for many, firstly. To be able to teach physics well is also hard to come by. Erik is very good at explaining concepts. It doesn't mean it'll be easy, but he's a great teacher and very willing to help. His humor doesn't always rub people the right way but I thought he was funny. He is very passionate about physics!

Physics is hard for most of us, and I also found it challenging but I directed my frustration at the subject. Eric truly cares about physics and if you can understand his humor and his passion for physics, you'll thoroughly get something out of his teachings and assignments. He is very nice, extremely clear in explanations, and very helpful.

Erik gives a lot of work because he wants the student to truly understand the concept. He would rather have you get the answer wrong but show that you tried. There are labs and quizzes every week. He lets you resubmit the labs for a better grade if they are not up to his standards! Make sure to complete every assignment and you will do great.

Say what you will about Erik- he cares about you, and he wants to see you succeed. He is so easy to contact and will respond to you so fast, pretty much all day any day. His material is so easy, and hes really good at helping you find what you need. The people who gave low scores- Its COVID people, give the man a break.

While the lectures might be somewhat sub-par Erik makes himself available. This is especially so due to the use of Slack, you can often expect replies within the hour (not all the time, but especially near the time when homework is due.) There is a test every week with a couple somewhat difficult question. Be willing to ask a lot of questions.

The class is fun and fairly easy to succeed in. There are many assignments weekly, but he has decent office hours if you have any questions and provides weekly tip sheets that can usually help with any confusion from the homeworks. The in-person labs are fun and the textbook required for the class is cheap online or free from the library.

Erik is the best professor I have ever met! He is a very good at teaching, and though he gives a lot of homework, he is available almost always, and gives good advice. I would definitely recommend him, and take his class again. I want you all to know he is awesome, and hope that my advice is helpful! (P.S. Eric is a very good and intelligent prof.)
