Prof. Jacobson is one of the best math teachers I've encountered so far at the college. She is very good at explaining things and helps you out whenever you don't understand something. Her class is entertaining. The course is face paced and you need to do the homework and study in order to get a decent grade. She also has extra credit options.

Summerizes chapters on board, gives plenty of examples, the best teacher for Stats, period. You can drop lowest test grade, which includes the final (meaning you don't have to take final!). Gives extra credit. The easiest in comparison to other professors teaching Stats. Calculator is a must and is used a ton, but that's what makes it easy. BEST!!

She grades strictly on tests. Math isn't my strongest point, so I would have appreciated more incentives to better my grade. I'm not in favor of more work, but at least with quizzes you know where you stand in the class and hw could have been extra credit or something( not math lab hrs). She's a cool person but not my particular kind of teacher.

Excellent teacher! Narrowed down info to what was needed for test. Actually wrote down own notes on board and stated only info on tests will be what she gives. Extra credit for math lab, which is easy because doing well in math requires completing homework/lab anyway. Great policy of dropping lowest test grade. Hard to find that with other teachers

Not recommended for summer class. Horrible teacher!!! I were an A student in every Math class I took before but I drop this one because she grades very strictly, she doesn't count homework until the end, and also she is very strict with the time: 15 min late and she marks you absent, no matter whether you have a valid excuse or not.

Success in college has almost nothing to do with the professor, and everything to do with your determination and how you study the material presented to you. My advice is: 1. Don't miss class, you'll hate yourself 2. Buy the calculator, it will save your life 3. GO TO THE MATH LAB 4. Know how to complete the practice tests inside and out

Professor Jacobson made this course very easy to understand by going through all the concepts and making sure that the whole class was understanding every lesson. The class is very structured, so you will know exactly what you are doing everyday. I would recommend to do the MyMathLab homework until you get a 100% and do the practice tests.

This class could be very difficult with the wrong professor. If you are not great at math I would suggest not taking the six week class, however it is still managable either way. The teacher was very nice and funny, and willing to go over things more thorough if needed.

Statistics may be hard, but Professor Jacobson makes it much easier and interesting. Highly recommended. Be ready to do lots of homework that count towards final grade.

I took this as a six-week summer course so it was most likely more intense for me than it would be for fall or spring semesters. We had 4 exams taken in class and a final taken at home online. Getting a graphing calculator will save you. must buy access code for textbook in order to do homework. Gives extra credit for studying in SLC for every test

Professor Jacobson was AMAZING! she makes you completely understand and feel comfortable with it. I took her class as a 6-week course and regret it just as how fast-paced it was, (gives you no room to breathe) but she made the 6-week course very passable, she explains everything in detail. Would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

I did Professor Jacobson's class in Summer B, and it was very difficult, but if you put in the work and time it is possible to get a good grade. I did homework or studied every single night and went to the learning center for tutoring. She offers extra credit and it is important to do your homework.

I took Ms. Jacobson for STA2023, a class I was required to take but dreaded. After the first two classes, I no longer dreaded going to class. She teaches math in a way that makes you want to learn the subject. She's funny, caring, and provides a good environment for learning. She isn't "easy" by any means, but she's definitely worth it.

Professor Jacobson is a great professor. She lectures and provides many examples which she goes in depth with. be prepared to take notes and do the home work not only does it help prepare you for the tests it is a 15% grade. As long as you go to class do the homework and try to do the practice exam you should be fine.

The professor knows what she is doing, but I wouldn't recommend taking her. She goes through the lesson at a fast pace, in my opinion, im a very slow learner. I need steps to succeed. You definitely need to go to the math lab. Homework is complicated and tests are very hard to get through. I hired a private tutor and it didn't work at all.

shes a great statistics tecaher. You have to come to class however and pay attention. dont skip cause youll miss alot. If you do the math lab untill you get 100%, review and do the practice exam she gives before test. you will be fine. she does however teach a little fast. But for the subject, shes great. She made me want to learn stats. Take her

This professor is horrible! This was the hardest class I have ever taken. She gives so much homework and if you procrastinate, you're in trouble!! She only goes over easy problems in class and puts all the hard ones on tests! To make matters worse, she doesn't curve tests even when the highest grade is a B. Would not recommend.

Math is never an easy A subject, but if you do the homework (get to retake until you get 100s) and do study guides for the test you shouldn't get anything lower than a C. Extra credit is available every test and for final (do them she won't bump up borderline grades!!!) She was amazing overall didn' let her pregnancy slow her down or slack grading!

I took her for pre-calculus and she was pretty great at teaching and helping with homework problem. She only uses blackboard for attendance, so the grade on MyMath lab will be your grade for that class.

I have always struggled with math. I was so terrified to take STATS so much so that it held me back from getting my nursing degree for the last 4 years. If it wasn't for Prof. J I would've given up and dropped this class. She is so encouraging she really is what every professor should be. She truly wants you to succeed and understand these concepts

Jacqueline Jacobson is probably the best math professor that Palm Beach State has! She is hands down so cool, and honestly, she was my favorite professor this semester. I usually don't write positive reviews on rate my professor, but she is hands down the best pick for mathematics. Also, make sure you show up to class and do your homework!
