He was very caring and helpful regarding my questions or suggestions for the course. He tries to make the content fun and engaging, but you get out of it what you put in. He is also very flexible and helpful as long as you contact him. If you take his FYE101 online, work on the dino eggs (course engagement points) from the beginning of the class.

He is a very good professor. He cares about his students and does his best to help them out. He is very good when it comes to communicating and always tries to find a solution. Overall, his class helped me develop my skills and learn more about myself.

I took the online FYE101 class. His class was very easy but very heavy on assignments as well as engagement points. There is a textbook but it is free for his class. He always provided great feedback for every assignment I did as well. The assignments were easy to understand and if I did have a question he responded quickly.

He is an amazing professor that genuinely cares about his students. I would definitely take this class again!

Great Professor. I believe every new student to college should take this corse to learn a little about everything.

Taking 4 classes for my major and then having to take this class and the assignments we had to do felt like a waste of time. But overall Professor Jake was very understanding and a great professor.

Weekly announcements that were clear and reminded of assignments due. Mostly quizzes and group discussion assignments. Chill professor and available when you need him.

Professor Ormond has been very supportive and gave helpful, timely, and specific advice on how I could improve the financing of my education. Firm on assignments and being on topic because he is good at his job! Thank you Jake!

I thank him because he kept me updated on my assignments and he helped me catch up on my assignments when I was falling back

I am thankful for my Professor because he helped me out with extra credit and he kept me updated on my assignments

This prof was great. He allowed us all to work at our own pace. I was even sick for a few days and had only one day before

Mr. Ormond is a fair teacher who expects you to put in the same amount of effort he does. His assignments are not hard but you do need to turn them in on time.

The class felt pointless for students and only served to gain more money for GCC, however with that being said the class was extremely easy, even being as an "accelerated" course. Jake was respectful and made the requirements very clear. He took part in discussion boards with the rest of the class and actually gave feedback on your submissions.

Professor Ormond is professional and he gets you engaged. This is a great class for first year students. Its a little difficult if you are a senior.

Professor Jake Ormond is one of the best teachers I've had this year. He gives detailed feedback on assignments, helping students deepen their understanding. He responds promptly, provides clear instructions, and offers valuable tips on life, like regaining motivation. Overall, I highly recommend this teacher.

FYE is a require course at GCC, but Jake Ormond actually made me feel like it was worth putting in the effort to participate and learn the materials. I recommend taking the accelerated summer course if you can.

Professor Ormond gives off the energy that he actually enjoys teaching. He is a timely grader and gives good constructive feedback. He checks in on his students and would even join in on some of the posted discussions. I enjoyed the class and would recommend him to others taking this course. None of the assignments were too difficult.

Although I didn't agree with the usefulness of the course for me because it's not my first time in college and I have a solid career, I feel like for a first time student the class could be really great. Jake took a lot of time to grade assignments quickly and would give me notes and feedback.

He is a very nice teacher. He gives you very good feedback on how to improve your academic performance. He shows that he does really care about you and wants you to succeed.

He is very good at what he does in my opinion. He gives very good feedback on what you do. He gives great on advice on how to improve your adamic performance. He also shows that he does really care and if you are needing any help he will be there for you.

I really enjoyed taking this class. Professor Ormond is a good professor, he provides feedback, grades the work on time and also shows he cares. I would recommend others to take this course.

I enjoyed taking this summer course. I feel like I learned a low. Professor Ormond showed that he cares, grades the work fast, and provides feedback. He also participates in the discussions. I would recommend anyone to take this class.

Jake Ormond was Great.

Very easy and open teacher. Very constructive with their answers to questions and assignments. Would highly recommend for your FYE course teacher. Makes college seem not so frustrating.

Although there is quite a bit of work for this class the instructions on assignments are very clear and easy to understand.

Jake is an amazing professor and did all he could to help support me and my learning journey!! Favorite by far

Professor Jake was really helpful to me. I was so confused on how to access ebook and he helped me out with exact steps very quickly. If i had to move things around like due dates he was willing to help me with that since life does happen and i am so glad he understands that and is always willing to help!

Gave enough time to complete assignments and gave feedback.

I had him for summer and he is by far one of the best teachers i have had especially for an online class. He makes the instructions very clear and gives great feedback on discussion posts or assignments in general. I highly recommend! :)

He is caring about his students and about you completing the class. Just make sure you turn in your assignments on time and you will be good.

He doesn't grade tough at all and always leaves comments under assignments which I love. The work he assigns is very useful outside of the class. Some tasks are redundant, but overall pretty easy.

I loved this class and was a perfect way to ease into the freshman college experience. The assignments are always relevant and help a lot through the beginning of college. He doesn't grade too harshly, and his feedback is always very useful. Would definitely recommend his course!

I loved this course, especially for the first year of college. The assignments were always relevant and helped me exactly when needed. His grading criteria are very clear, and he doesn't grade too harshly. I would definitely recommend his course!

For an online class he does a very good mix of independent reading and interactive discussions. The class was evenly split between quizzes and online chats. I do wish there was more research on jobs and what happens after college, but that isn't a professor problem as much as it is a curriculum problem.

This teacher cares about his students a lot! I messaged him several times about my grade, and he quickly replied and showed he cared. No late work is expected so make sure everything is on track!

This was a degree requirement and was overall an easy class. He offered different options for the final grade and overall coursework was straightforward and assignments were graded and entered in a timely manner.

My professor this semester was so great. He knew how to connect with students on a deeper level which helped us dig into financial and different topics and create plans for our futures. He always encouraged us to speak out and that our opinions matter. I would 100% take his class again and i highly recommend him as a professor to others.

jake is a really chill guy, he says late assignments aren't excepted but if you have a legit reason or just need an extra day he will let you turn it in late but other that he's cool

He will take the time to truly give feedback that is helpful and necessary. He will provide advice beyond schoolwork and will help out with anything he can. His grading is very fair as long as you do your part, you will be fine.

Super chill guy! As long as you show up to class, participate and do all the assignment you should get an A. He gives extra credit, brings food to class and is super quick to reply to emails.

I loved this class! Assignments always helped out and were relevant to what I was thinking and feeling as a new college student. Feedback was always there and was super appreciated.

Professor Ormond is a great teacher. The course was easy to follow and the directions for each assignment were super clear. Also gives great feedback for almost every assignment.

Professor Ormond was very thorough in his grading and where you may have been marked down. The class was very simple and he kept it interesting. I highly recommend :)

Professor Ormond was very helpful and caring!

This class is really good for people who don't have much motivation in school. It will help teach you better studying and working habits, and make you a better person overall. It's also extremely easy.

This class is really good for people who don't have much motivation in school. It will help teach you better studying and working habits, and make you a better person overall. It is also an easy class.

Despite any bias that I had towards the content in the class, the professor was very involved. He made sure to comment and engage in the class discussion. He was very helpful and wanted to see his students grow.

He was able to give good criticism as well as good feedback. Because of this class, it prepared me more for college and allowed me to become a better student. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

This class was enjoyable and I walked away from it having learned a lot. Genuinely prepared me for the future.

He was such a great fun teacher that really made a boring class fun and he made the class enjoyable and interactive.

Jake was very kind and created a very positive atmosphere. His instructions were clear and simple. I learned a lot and would recommend this class.

This class is really easy just make sure you take your time on assignments to really process what is asking you so get full credit on all aspects.

Despite my original thoughts about this class it was actually worth it. Jake made the lectures fun and engaging. All the assignment's are pretty easy.

Professor Ormond was an incredibly kind and engaging teacher. I took his 1 credit FYE course and I actually really enjoyed it! Prof. Ormond made a great effort to interact with students and give feedback. Overall recommended if you need to take your first-year class.

Professor Ormond was such a personable and great teacher! He always provided great feedback and seemed to really care about all of us as students. I'm so glad I took this class and learned a lot from the assignments we had to do. I would definitely recommend him to someone looking to take FYE.

Professor Ormond is welcoming and engaging. He communicates clearly and conveys the material in a way that is conducive to learning.

Very communicative and receptive, also interactive, kind and patient. Best snack guy ever!

Mr. Ormond's FYE101 is the first course I have taken to get back into studying for my bachelors. The Segway that this course provided gave me the confidence and academic strength that showed me I could succeed.

Mr. Ormond was a very good and understanding teacher, he supplied positive feedback when i made mistakes and even though the classroom volume was sometimes less then I deal, he never pointed people out for it and was glad that a couple of his students were outgoing.

He takes time to get to know his students, and did a lot to make coming to class fun and easy. He provides a lot of feedback on assignments and has a couple of opportunities for extra credit. Overall he is an amazing professor who I would highly recommend.

keep up with the assignments or you will fall behind. dont do a bodybuilding prep towards the end of your semester, peak week depletion will win.

This class was really easy and I would honestly recommend it to anyone.

This was a great class and jake took his time and gave good feedback.

Although the course FYE101 may stand out as a "useless" course (which it very well may be to some), Professor Ormand did an exceptional job at: - Keeping the class engaged - Having clear standards for the students, and had students create standards for him as a teacher - Awesome feedback! - Having the lectures be clear and concise

Good expressive.

Simple class, not hard at all. Requires a bit of reading but nothing intense. Very helpful information to get ready for college! He grades very well and gives great feedback. Probably the best online course I have taken so far!

Easy to understand, very helpful, and very approachable.

He was fine for the most part, but overall he wasn't to hard on us

This professor is organized and grades quickly. He responds in a timely manner. There are lots of quizzes but aren't difficult. Discussion posts have 2 due dates, so pay attention to when each are due. Make sure you respond to other posts by the due date. No credit after due date on any assignment or test. Overall, it was a good class.

The class is easy as long as you have good attendance and check canvas regularly. There were some tedious assignments, but nothing too intense and I actually learned more than I thought I would. Great instructor and communication.

he was helpful and cared about the emails i sent him and he helped me when i needed it.

He's an awesome teacher and I got the grade I wanted. It's an easy class

the professeor is kind and understanding. he does care about what you are learning about and he does his best to interact with students. as it is an online class you cant really be super personal with the students but he does a really good job catering all of his feedback to individual students. overall, I had a good experience.

Professor Ormond made this class really easy to understand. Anytime I did struggle, I would email Professor Ormond and he would answer right away. I would recommend this class to others.

Professor Ormond gave us opportunities to earn extra credit. The quizzes are based on the textbook, which is not hard to understand. However, some of the discussion boards are not all that engaging. This class was mandatory, but overall, it was very easy.

Very cool teacher that made everything very accessible!

Get professor! Paying attention and reading each week will help, he will occasionally post ways to earn extra credit. Ver easy course, and laid back professor:)

Gives good feedback on submissions and goes beyond to reach out to help other students have materials for class.

The professor is very prompt in responding to emails, usually within 24 hours. However, the discussion boards are scheduled on two separate days, while there is a single assignment that combines both. This setup is somewhat confusing, and I nearly missed completing the assignments in full.

I want other students to know that Mr. Ormond was an amazing teacher and he was always able to help when you needed assistance in the class. He was a very easy going teacher. He wanted to see us all be successful and prove to him how capable we were being online students. I hope that everyone get Mr.Ormond as a teacher!

Lots of reading but other than that the class is easy.

Professor Ormands class, was not too difficult but it also wasnt to easy, which is a perfect mix for a student to learn and enjoy it.

Caring and very understanding teacher! So don't be a friend to reach out for questions if you need them or if any issues come up. Class was very easy, just make sure you give yourself the time to do the readings and homework is all!

I really loved the OnCourse book, and it teaches a lot of lessons if your willing to learn. I am not big on reading, though that book is very interesting. The teacher is very good too, he responds fast.

Professor Jake responded to my questions very quickly.

Really great online professor. Gives detailed feedback on assignments and allows for ample extra credit opportunities.

Professor Ormond was a fantastic instructor! He grades all assignments promptly, providing helpful feedback. He is incredibly understanding and personable. There are also multiple opportunities for extra credit work. I had a great time taking a course by him, and I'd be happy to take another!

he is a good professor, he care about the students and is gentle.

This professor is amazing! This class is straightforward, you just read a few paragraphs about the module and complete the 2-3 assignments per unit. I recommend trying to get ahead a bit because the assignments are usually die on the same day, so its helpful to complete them a few days early. The assignments can feel a little long sometimes.

Professor Jake Ormond is super helpful and seems genuinely invested in his students' success. He's very easy to get in touch with and always responds quickly. His instructions are clear, and he makes sure you understand exactly what's expected for each assignment. Great professor overall!

Professor Ormond teaching style was very good the textbook we used was very understanding and gave some examples of what the chapter is talking about. From mindsets chapter to understanding what your personality would be this was a fun course that was necessary for my degree and I am happy I got Professor Ormond.

He is an awesome professor. He gives great feedback -- you can tell he cares about students and is passionate about teaching. The class is very straightforward and you learn a lot. I would definitely take a course from him again.

Jake is a very good instructor he gives great feedback and he went above to insure my work was graded when it was late he informed me it was missing. Overall he is a great easy going instructor.

Professor Ormond is a great instructor! His online FYE class is a reasonable college-level class. The workload wasn't extreme, and I felt it was fair as a first-year student. He gave good constructive feedback. My biggest tip is, make sure you turn things in on time!

Professor Ormond is a very caring teacher. He goes the extra mile to make you feel seen. I learned a lot in this class. I enjoyed the textbook so much I may actually want a copy. It has so much good information. Overall I didn't realize I needed this class. It has encouraged me in ways I did not expect. Highly recommend this to anyone in college!

Lots of reading but otherwise probably the best you could ask in a course that is mostly useless and could have been an assembly.

This class has a lot of reading, but overall was very easy to understand the subject matter. The assignments and quizzes were very straightforward and not too time consuming. The course itself was very easy to navigate through as well.

My professor Jake demonstrated strong professional abilities throughout the course. Their teaching style was engaging and well-organized, making it easy to follow along and absorb the material. They conveyed complex concepts clearly and ensured that all students understood the key points before moving forward.

I've had several friends say their FYE 101 classes were really dry, and didn't leave them feeling like they got much out of it, but Dr. Ormond did a great job to personalize the content and illustrate how it can directly help our specific situations. The class was more homework/study heavy than my other 3 credit classes, but otherwise, it was good.

The instructor for this course was great. I particularly appreciated their ability to give feedback on all assignments in a clear and engaging way. Overall, this was a very well-taught and valuable course.

I honestly have taken his class before. However this second time taking it went a lot more smoothly. I was communicative with the professor and he did the same. Which I really appreciated since things do come up !

As a returning adult I was dreading this course but I found a lot of knowledge in the career placement testing phase. Lots of good information and options that I can use to change careers if I choose to. Take Jake, he is an awesome teacher!

This is genuinely a good professor, especially for an online course. Most online teachers do not communicate whatsoever, but I found that he was very interactive with students through emails and announcements. He's lenient as long as you communicate back. He's a bit of a tough grader but nothing extreme, just follow the rubric.

Professor Ormond was amazing! I took his class online, but it was still very engaging. Each assignment and discussion board had clear instructions and grading criteria. He gives his students all of the necessary tools to succeed. There is also extra credit opportunities as well which is a huge plus.

Professor Ormond is a good teacher. There is a lot of work but it is doable. I was online so maybe in-person is better. Good teacher and will work with you if needed.

Honestly this class wasn't too bad, you learn a lot about yourself in this course if you follow the instructions and actually do the assignments. Jake was super understanding when it came to late work, and overall the stress of life. There's extra credit opportunities, some small and some big, so it's manageable!

Professor Ormond was very good at providing the necessary information for any assignment. He was always personable and very quick to respond to any question or discussion post. His canvas page was very organized and he is a very understanding professor.

By far, the best professor I've had. This is my first year of college, and I feel so welcomed. There's nothing bad to say about him because everything that was taught and demonstrated was done perfectly. Thank you, Mr. Ormond

Easy A+ for FYE101. Finished my homework on the first day of the week always and it took 1 hour at most.

Really appreciated how easy access this professor made our assignments! The corrective feedback was really beneficial and the check-ins made this semester fly by while steel giving a sense of independence and support. Never felt like i was thrown into something without prior knowledge from previous teachings!

Prof Ormond is a pretty chill dude. He encouraged me to write honestly instead of lying to better meet the assignment.

Lots of discussions and plenty of assignments that deal with chapters from the textbook. Overall, the work is pretty simple as long as you pay attention and keep up your work, your grade should stay up.

Class is pretty simple, as long as you keep up.

The discussion assignments due dates are well spaced out, which allows student enough time to work on other assignment feeling overwhelmed. The quizzes are straightforward and follow the exact pages provided, making it easy to prepare.

I enjoyed taking this professor. It was a fairly easy class! I would recommend taking this class.

This class was overall a very good class. The professor is organized, communicates clearly, and explains thigs in a simple, helpful way. The workload is fair and the grading is reasonable. Id recommend this professor/class.

Amazing professor, Interacts and helps students when needed! I would highly recommend.

This is a good professor. The course material and the deadlines were clear and was fair. As long as you stay on top of the weekly work and do the extra credit the class is very manageable.

Mr Ormond provides solid and friendly interaction with students as he leads us through the subject matter to improve our success through the college experience. I found our interactions were always upbeat and his instruction was thorough providing excellent resources, both written and online access to materials pertinent to the subject matter.

Jake was very patient with me. Whenever I would ask a question or needed help, his instructions and answers were always super clear and easy to follow. May or may not pass the class. He is still one of the teachers who made class easier.

This was a very manageable class. The assignments were clear and there weren't too many so you don't feel overwhelmed. There is a textbook you have to read for your quizzes and assignments but it's not too much. Multiple opportunities for extra credit which was nice. I would recommend taking this class.

Professor Ormond is genuinely one of the best professors I've had. The class itself does involve a lot of reading, but he makes it meaningful and always connects it back to real life in a way that keeps you engaged. What really stands out is how much he cares about his students. He checks in and makes sure everyone is doing okay.

this was a wonderful class with a professor who makes you feel supported and heard.

He was always supportive and easy to talk to. His teaching style was clear and encouraging, which made the class feel comfortable. I appreciated how he would email just to check in and remind me that if I ever needed anything, he was there to help. The work itself was pretty easy and as long as you at least give some participation it will go well!

The professor explains the material in a clear and easy way, which makes the class feel less stressful. I liked how he posted all the assignments for the week early because it made planning easier. The assignments were fun and gave us room to be creative, creating a positive learning environment.

online only class, professor is friendly and responsive to emails. expectations and criteria are clear

He was very nice and considerate, especially with my health issues.

Professor Ormond is amazing! This class was genuinely so motivating, and I learned a lot about myself through it in regard to what I want my future to look like and how to make it happen. As long as you stay on top of your work (which is very light but effective), you are bound to get an A. Highly recommend.

This class was pretty easy. It also gives you helpful skills for making it through college. Overall I would say that the class was easy to follow. The assignments can be completed quickly and the workload is doable each week. The canvas for this course is also set up nicely and is easy to navigate.

he was a good professor overall, had a lot of extra credit during the course and quizzes were literally over the text book! would recommend for FYE

This is a professor that knows exactly what he wants from his student and he will make sure that they get there. Yes, the grading is tough but its creates improvements. I always was responded to in a timely when I asked a question. I highly recommend this teacher.

The spacing of assignments was excellent, it allowed enough time between task to absorb material and avoid feeling rushed.

Professor Ormond was really nice and caring to everyone, and gave really good feedback! The class overall was super simple and easy to do. I would definitely recommend new students to take his class because I heard my friends didn't like their FYE professors, but I have no complaints.

This is one of the best instructors I have had, the class was super simple and he made everything really clear. There were also a few chances to get extra credit incase you missed something as well as a clear grading criteria so you know what was expected of you before you submit. Would definitely take his class again.

The work speaks for itself, really interesting and helpful class in my opinion

Really well laid out courses with a realistic workload and clear due dates/rubrics. He can be a little tough on written assignments but nothing that you can't improve by listening to his feedback.

Was awesome

Was awesome.

This class is a very full class with lots to learn and participation is daily. I would not advise taking with a full class load. The teacher was fair and tried to help as much as possible. Great at communicating.

Very good at communicating. Tough on grading and demands participation.

Jake Ormond is a great professor he's very helpful and caring. I learned a lot from this class especially time management and wiring in my journal. He's also very good with getting back to students very fast answering questions or giving back good feedback. Also he's very helpful with giving good recommendations or sources that could always help.

Kind and fast responding.

Mr Ormond gave straightforward assignments with clear guidance that were interesting and taught essential concepts.

The professor didn't clearly explain assignments due dates. Some tasks have specific completion dates (like for the extra credit activity before the end of class, you were supposed to attend 2 meetings, one in September and one in December). Stay on top of due dates because you can not retake assignments. He is a good grader and communicator.

Very friendly and supportive

Great communication helps students in need.

Had a great experience taking his course, super easy assignments and he doesn't overload you with assignments. Really understanding and overall great professor.

This professor was really nice and understanding about my personal circumstances that interfered with school. I would recommend this professor to anyone wanting or needing to take this class.

He did great and was a awesome communicator.

Great class overall. Dr. Ormond is quite knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly cares about student success. Expectations are clear, feedback is helpful, and the material is explained in a way that's easy to understand. The workload is fair, and participation is encouraged. Would recommend this class to future students
