If you were to look up the definition of a great professor, his picture would be there. He has compassion for education, his students and the children in the schools. He is in teaching for the right reasons and has taught me so much.
very good teacher,he has stories to explain everything... reccomend taking for elem child
I had professor Jaus for Intro to Education and for Science Methods... He is a wonderful teacher! He is very passionate about Teaching and it is very clear to anyone who is lucky enough to have him as a teacher. Dr. Jaus is always there for everyone!!
Perhaps the best Educ. professor at UNCC. He is beyond nice, will help you out, and makes the class worth going to. BE SURE TO GO TO CLASS! A warning though, be good at taking notes because you will need them. Study+attendance = good experience and an A.
Love Dr. Jaus, is my favorite teacher thus far.
One of the best teachers I have ever had. He is always there to help you.
GOOD TEACHER WITH EASY TESTS IF YOU TAKE GOOD NOTES
Dr. Jaus is one of the best proffesors. He is passionate about educating children and therefore how we as teachers should educate. I would reccomend this class to everyone!
He is an excellant teacher. Likes his subject and gets excited, makes it interesting. It is a large class,but he allows questions/dialogue. (However,won't tolerate B.S. from students.) SHOW UP for class, notes critical.

very nice and pretty interesting. easy tests if you take notes. must go to class, no text book! but yeah, what's up with all the sex stuff? icky.
Great teacher with a passion for teaching! take notes, listen in class, and be sure to go to class and you'll be fine! great class to take especially when this is your first year here.
He's the man. Take notes and show up or don't bother coming though. Your notes will be the test itself. Don't try to BS him though or he'll take you to school.
Very helpful, and very funny. He is very clear and it is a very fun class.
One of the best professors I ever had. He made me want to become a great teacher.
very easy teacher if you go to class. the tests come straight from the notes and he takes attendance so you lose points from that. he's very clear and has stories to help you remember everything. i recommend that you take EDU with him
He has got to be the best professor on this campus. He is an intelligent man, and will teach you much about teaching, and life. Encouraging, and an inspiration to anyone who wants to teach.
Great teacher
He is an awesome professor! I have leanrned so much in his class. Its not a an easy A. you have to go to class and study, but I promise he makes you want to come to class. I hate missing it, and I'm not a school nerd. Take him! You won't regret it.
Jaus is tha man, he is one of the most funnyist guys i know.
Go to class and take notes and you will have NO problem with this professor. Very clear and up front about exams. Very helpful if you need anything also...I highly recommend taking his class
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CLASS! Don't bother taking anyone else. Very straight-forward and you will have no problem if you take notes, show up for class, and pay attention. tests are pertinent, gives extra chance to bring up grade with attendace policy.
Very easy if your in class. no text. tells good stories so class isnt boring
GREAT teacher! He is very interesting and is very willing to work with you. you must attend class because he takes off 4 points each time you miss, attendance being 20 %, but class is interesting. easy if you do all your work and come to class!
great teacher...just don't take the class at 8am cause it's a little hard to stay awake!
This is a great teacher! He makes education worth wild! TAKE HIM!! He's great!
He's not perfect,(like he yells sometimes) but after having him for 2 diff. courses he was, and remains one of my favorite professors. Do homework, take good notes, ask questions, and you will learn a lot, have fun, AND get an "A".
Take this class if you want to know the material AND want to make an easy A. He presents well, but is a typical liberal in that he often makes it appear his opinion is the majority. It gets old after awhile.
Easy class and very interesting professor -- holds your attention well -- except for Liberal -- Yankee opinions, which he should keep to himself.
Great guy, very funny. Tells good stories, makes class interesting. Take his class, but stay away from his wife.
The people complaining about him being a liberal have got it all wrong. To be a good teacher, and he is one himself, you need to be open minded about different things. Tell me how many conservatives fit this description? The class is very interes
Jaus is GREAT!!! he is interesting and easy, but the information he gives is helpful. SIDE NOTE-DO NOT BE LATE TO HIS CLASS!!!! He hates people walking in late, so be on time! Other than that he is AWESOME!!!!
Dr. Jaus is fun and interesting. He's very dramatic so lectures are not boring. There's no book but attendance is taken and counts as part of your score. Tests are fair and not too hard. I liked him a lot.
Great teacher. Wonderful classes. I took two classes with this prof and loved every minute of it.
He is a very good teacher. He is very knowledgable and passionate. His tests differ in difficulty but they are weighed the same. That is great! If you get a chance, take a class with this professor.
he is very smart and engages the class. He uses lots of examples and is funny. You really have to study for tests, but its not that bad.
Dr. Jaus is a very dedicated educator. He engages you in the class by always telling stories and giving examples. The tests are not so bad it you study, they differ but are all Multiple Coice or true false. Attendence is a must but you will enjoy the class. I can't wait to have another class.
This is a pretty easy class, just don't take it in the morning because you are liable to fall asleep a few times. Tests are 110 questions, but if you study, you might do okay. Definitely don't skip class, you will miss 10 pages of notes.
Good teacher, just dont take the class in the morning because his voice puts you asleep. And dont skip because its 4 points off your grade every missed class. He is an overall good teacher who really knows his stuff, i would take his class again if it wasn't in the morning!
dont let him fool you, hes a sweet guy. easy tests... but the attendence policy is MADNESS. 8am.. and you have to go.. 4pts deducted for everyday you miss.. but thats the bad part.. other than that.. much love for this beer-bellied man
This guy is a jerk. He hates anything or anyone that is not exactly like him. I have no respect for him. And the tests are hard. But the material is the worst, no point. Be prepared for a close minded, liberal, critic.
Dr. Jaus is a wonderful teacher. He is very passoniate about teaching. Be sure to go to class or you'll miss everything. You should def take take him.
Jaus is great! He's funny and relates class material to everyday life. I wish more of my professors were like him, make him fit your schedule!
Jaus is great!! He relates everything to everyday life...and he gives a lot of examples...the tests are long but easy...go to class and take notes and you will be fine...
JAUS IS THE BOSS! HE TOTALLY ROCKS! DEFINATELY TAKE JAUS IF YOU CAN! CLASS IS FUN AND ENTERTAINING! JAUS JAUS HE'S THE MAN, IF HE CAN'T DO IT, NO ONE CAN!
Very beneficial if you are going to teach! Jaus has a very effective teaching style that you will learn to love. Funny dude!
Jaus's intro to education class is interesting and easy enough if you take notes and study the night before the test. He is without a doubt the VERY BEST! I would recommend his class to absolutely anyone!
Very Funny. Makes class intersting. Easy test. Attendance is very important.
There's a reason people flock to rate this guy on here . . . he's awesome! He loves teaching and it shows. Class is not that difficult, but attendance is a must. Definitely take his class!
Ok so day one he is scary!! He yells, will call you out if your doing some thing else in class, and he can be very intimadating. After the first week he is funny, caring, and loves what he does. His pasion for teaching is contagious. DONT MISS CLASS -4pts for every miss!!! Test are 40 MC 70 TF.
This GuY is A suPEr teaCHer. HE loves wHAt he doeS anD makEs learNing fun. First day...WiLL make YOu think Different, but He's reaLLy a GReaT teacher...TAKE HIM!!!
Absolutely wonderful professor! Not only a great teacher but a kind person with upstanding character. Take this class - You will enjoy it!
Jaus is an awesome prof. Tests cover a lot of material, but if you study you will do fine! He is so funny and loves to make class fun! Will scare you on the first day, but after the first week of class hes great!Take him if you can! He's great! Makes class fun and interesting!
Dr. Jaus is the freaking man! I love him to death; his classes were always either entertaining or very interesting content wise. People are right to tell you that his passion and love for teaching is really inspiring... take this class but you must show up, attendance is mandatory. He isn't unreasonable and gives you lots of answers on tests!
Take this class. he is very entertaining and really cares. If you go and take notes its an easy class. Plus, you dont have to buy a book and he gives you alot of test answers before hand.
I loved this guy. One of the few profs that makes it worth while to go to class at 8:00 in the morning. Such an interesting guy and tells great stories. Obvious that he loves to teach.
I LOVE dr. jaus! He makes me laugh. You can't really tell if he is being serious or not... I think he is trying to be, but I just think he is so adorable that he makes me laugh. He's very picky on grammar, but that's easy. One take home test and final is optional. He isn't picky with clinicals, they aren't even a part of your grade. He is just interested in letting you get the experience. He is retireing soon though...
Really nice person, but didnt learn that much. Lots of busy work.
he was a pretty good teacher... a little unlcear but tests are pretty easy....they are really long though. 100+ questions. but even without studying i still passed. just pay attention in class.
Very entertaining and informative class. I enjoyed it a lot.Recommended.
I did not like Dr. Jaus. I was told nothing but good things about him and looked forward to the class.. but he berated us everyday! He'd yell at us for no reason and made me feel horrible! Plus we didn't have a syllabus and most days just did busy work. Testing was easy.. take-home. Projects were expensive $$$$$
I did not care for this man, it was very confusing on what was going to be on the test. Many items discussed in class were not relevent to the course.
I love him, but not such a great teacher. Most of the time we were bored out of our mind, talking about bees and ants and what not. Mostly busy work, but no learning about how to teach science. Clinicals do not even count toward our grade. He is extremely picky with his circuit board and it's expensive to make one to his liking.

I love Dr. Jaus! I had him for intro and science and thoroughly enjoyed both. He is getting on up there in age, and it is beginning to show, but despite feeling ill and being sick some of the semester, he still did a great job teaching science. He is very PASSIONATE about teaching, and he only wants the best teachers out there in the real world!!
Great guy...really loves students and teaching in general! The only bad thing is you have to take your on notes and try not to fall asleep during his lectures.
I love him....I think he has a great since of humor and is an awesome educator! My favorite class of the semester!
i love Dr.Jaus and his class... he's so sweet and funny! His stories are long, but relevant.... he's just an overall great teacher!
This class is unbelievably BORING. He almost turned me away from Education as a major. I would NEVER EVER take anything linked to him
He is very honest about the requirements of being a teacher in today's world. He has a lot of stories to tell. Be prepared to take notes, complete a curcuit board, and do a science experiment.
you have to go to class..yea..sign in for attendence every day and he checks it. other than that, you have to study for class.
Attendance is required, and studying is a must. This class is difficult.
Please don't believe that this class is hard. Yes, you have to study for the tests but most of the information covered is common sense. Jaus may be a smart guy but sometimes I get the impression that he doesn't always know what he's talking about. His study guides are barely legible and his lectures can get incredibly boring! Overall decent.
Attendance is mandatory, but thats because he wants you to get the best grade you can. He is a very funny guy and likes to tell stories. he gives a really helpful cheat sheet for the material on the first test, and as the class goes on throughout the semester, the smaller the cheat sheet gets
his class is very interesting and he has funny stories to tell. his tests are hard but not impossible.
Dr. Jaus is great! He is the cutest little old man. But, seriously you would think he would put you in the mind of your grandpa and just ramble, well that's true but you pay attention. He likes talking about monkeys and rats. BUT I RECOMMEND HIM 2 ANYONE WHO IS AN EDUCATION MAJOR!!!
3 tests, 1 final. 2nd test is the hardest due to it having a lot of content, 3rd and final are total breezes. Attendance is MANDATORY, but don't get me wrong, I loved going to every class. I honestly learned so much. Be prepared to take a lot of notes. I know all this MIGHT sound bad but you will not regret taking this class. B at the lowest.
One of the best professors I've had at UNCC. He has a wealth of knowledge...just pay attention.
Very intelligent man. I wouldn't have wanted any other professor for this class...He's a little arrogant, likes to yell (only because he's passionate about teaching), and makes you hold a mealworm for 10 seconds. That's as bad as it gets. He's a wonderful professor and person.
By far the best professor I have had at UNCC. He has a wealth of knowledge... TAKE HIM!
Dr. Jaus is the best instructor i've had, and will probably ever have. I look forward to getting up on fridays just to go to his class. He lectures the whole time but they are on personaly experience and things to help remember the material. He does not require a textbook so he gives handouts to go by. He is very approachable and funny.
Good teacher. No text book, so you have to go to class. Attendance is part of your grade. 3 test and the final, which he gives you the questions to study for.
This man is SO PRECIOUS. He was my first education professor and made me absolutely love wanting to be a teacher! He is so much fun. 3 test, one final. Two of the test are all T/F and the first two tests have about 75 T/F! He's amazing and one of the best here at UNCC
Dr.Jaus is just wonderful. He gives you a well rounded knowledge. He is very interesting...you will never fall asleep in class. He is simply the best...I would take any class of his. He is trult passionate about what he does. Text not required and he will tell you this upfront. All professors should be like him. He is fair and square and very pleas

Dr. Jauss is really one of the best teachers I have had in a long time. He actually knows the material and had many stories or coathangers as he calls them to help you retrieve the information or to better help you understand the material. He loves his job and you can tell by the way he teaches, no text but as long as you study you will get an A!
this was my favorite class since i've been in college. he is stern but he knows his stuff and he's very knowledgable. i wish every professor i had was like him. there was no textbook required. you took notes and had test. i believe his observations were extra credit. he was awsome and very funny!
Loved Jaus! He was amazing! He's adorable, funny and easy to understand!! take him! :)
He gives excellent supplements to the lectures. His tests are fairly easy as well, and there is opportunity to earn 15 extra points each semester
AMAZING!!! Very much recommended for any education class!! Dr. Jaus is my FAVORITE professor! If you aren't signed up for him, you should be! He does lecture the whole time, but you will be interested and enjoy every minute! His tests are easy if you study b/c his lectures are so clear. He doesn't mind stopping or slowing down for clarity either
AMAZING TEACHER. i loved this class, dr. jaus is one of the best teachers i've ever had. HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking his class. no textbook, and he gives you notes, you barely have to take any yourself.
He was a pretty good teacher. Sometimes he gets off track and tells random stories but other than that he's pretty good. The test are really hard and most of the questions are T/F. Lectures the whole time. Feels more like a history class than an education class.
Unlike many teachers, he knows how to give an entertaining lecture. Takes attendance every class and no book so you need to go! All multiple choice exams, last 2 only T/F. 110 questions, gives you 10 free answers on exams. You do have to study! Do Teacher Observation and write 3page paper for EC. "A" or "B" final grade
Very nice, enthusiastic and obviously loves teaching. No textbook, mandatory attendance. Only problem is his rambling. Simple stories are dragged out and examined in ridiculous detail, some not even pertaining to anything you are learning. Hope you don't need to be anywhere right after class because he WILL consistently go over alloted time!
OMG he is such a good teacher!
Great teacher! He is very entertaining when giving his lectures. His tests can be hard, but he gives you an overview of the notes and as long as you take good ones, they're fine. He can digress a little bit, but his stories are always funny and keep you interested. Definitely enjoyed his class.
HE is A great Teacher!! Very interesting and weird at times, but very respectable. No textbook used, and he gives outlines for the notes. I would take him again.
If you go to class you'll get a good grade. He is entertaining and hard. He doesn't require you to buy a book!
Lets you miss a few days, but deducts after a certain amount (this wasn't written in stone as far as I'm concerned). Sometimes his theories are a little unbelievable/out there, but just go to class, remember them and agree with them on the tests and you'll do fine. He's intimidating at times, but really he's a nice guy with good intentions.
This man is a great teacher. I wish that he also taught Bio. He gives you all the info that you need for the test and tells you what to study. Just make sure that you ALWAYS attend class, he doesn't tolerate stupid silly kids in his class. shut up and listen you will learn from this seasoned teacher.
Great teacher. He gives outlines for notes so as long as you come to class and follow him when he goes over the note the class should be fairly easy. Attendance counts if you miss a day you lose three points. Overall very interesting class and some interesting stories along the way.
He is just awesome. Very passionate. Worth taking! Make sure you attend class. Attendance is taken and you learn a LOT every day. I am so glad i had the pleasure of taking him. AWESOME professor. Truly!
Although book is not required, I would purchase. Majority of lectures are in a story format. Must pay attention to stories and take notes. I would recommend using a voice recorder in class as I did to go back and review lectures. Very Fair teacher.
Great Teacher... Take GREAT NOTES!!! He doesn't use a textbook, he gives handouts... But always tells you whats going to be on the test!! He made it go by so fast but very enjoyable!!
He has a lot to offer and is very wise, but his class is extremely boring if you're not into history. EDUC 2100 deals mostly with the history of educational leaders, not tactis or other info you'd think you need before you enter into the program. I would have chosen another professor for this class if I would have known this...Nice/smart guy though
This was my favorite class during the fall semester and he was my favorite professor. He really knows what he's talking about. Make sure you take good notes and pay attention to his stories because they will help you out on his exams majorly. It's an easy A if you do the extra credit, pay attention in class, and study for the exams ahead of time.
Dr. Jaus is amazing! I looked forward to his classes, and he's really helpful for future teachers. Highly recommended!
Dr. Jaus is a fantastic professor. He is retiring next year so take him while you can! There is no textbook, he prints out all the notes that he goes over and give them to you, his stories may seem pointless but they are actually really helpful and he uses them as questions on the test. It is easy to get an A in this class if you show up.
Dr. Jaus is awesome. You need to come to class and take notes because his exams cover a lot of material. They are definitely not easy exams, but if you study your notes and do your observations, you will be fine!
