I struggled through Chem 1, but taking Jackson's Chem. 2 class this summer opened my eyes to a lot of things I didn't know before. I understand Chemistry so much better now! If you participate and study, it is almost impossible to get a B.

Prof Jackson makes Chemistry fun. He's really funny, which is usually off topic completely, but it keeps you awake through Chemistry at least! I really didn't learn Chemistry from him as much as from the Mastering Chemistry program online that he requires. He also can be pretty condescending when you ask a questions in class. Still a great class.

Best Chemistry professor at TCC hands down. Very inspiring and genuine. His lectures are not boring. He makes them interesting with his humor. Expect a lot of work. There is a quiz every week, they were great buffers that helped keep my grade up. The tests are not too tough, as long as you study. Definitely take Mr. Jackson

I learned more in Professor Jackson's class then I learned in the first week of Chem I. HIGHLY recommend! His class fills up very quickly so jump in while you can! Gives lots of quizzes with extra credit, most are take home. Drops 3 lowest lab grades. Does require mastering chemistry online homework, which I hated.

James Jackson is an outstanding professor. After sitting through his lectures, you will notice he is very passionate. He is super helpful and gives many extra credit opportunities. This class is not easy but it's not too hard either. His notes are so good I barely ever used my book (only for tables and such). He also does tutoring in the math lab.

This is a hard class, but Mr. Jackson makes it easy. Show up, do some homework, study a little, and get an A. The study guides are almost identical to his tests, so just study those. This was my blow-off class, and it's chemistry! How is that possible!? I took him for Chem I, and I'm taking him for Chem II next semester!

Best professor I've had at TCC! His class was so much fun and I would recommend everyone take him. He gives tons of extra credit on every quiz and test, and in addition, he also drops your lowest quiz and lab grades. Don't bother buying the textbook, you'll only need the lab book and Mastering Chemistry online code.

You are crazy if you don't take him. I never took chem before and he made it to where I could understand. You will get an A if you do your work and try on the tests. He's also pretty funny and super helpful in labs( which don't take that long). Enroll in his class as soon as it opens because everyone else will want him too!

I took both his Chem 1 & 2 class. Chem 2 is SO much harder, but receiving an A is very possible since he has laid back grading and extra credit. Just study. I took his summer class so there was a ton of homework and studying at times, but I recommend his summer class because it's chill, easy, no Mastering Chem, and labs only take an hour or so!

Loved him!! He explains Chemistry 2 so well. His notes come with practice problems. Sample test is similar to the real test. Lab is never the two whole hours. Lab reports aren't bad. Sometimes you don't even have to turn one in! You don't need the textbook either. Take home quizzes & tests all have extra credit on them as well.

James is a hilarious guy. One of the best professors I have taken at TCC. He makes class time go by smoothly and teaches the material very well. He is also in the math lab if you have any questions on the homework. Quizzes are a norm, but not too difficult. There isn't a reason why anyone should get anything below an A in this class.

I took chem I and II with Jackson. He breaks down concepts and makes class more bearable. Easy A if you put forth some effort, or a B if you don't even try. His summer class is a lot more fast paced but still doable. Take him! You won't regret it.

If you have the opportunity to take his class do it! I cant rate Mr. Jackson highly enough. Great professor with a great personality. If you try you will pass. His material is relevant and he makes it easy to understand and apply. Tests are based on problems from the study guide. Attendance is up to you but his lectures are always worth attending!

Mr. Jackson is such a great teacher! I struggled at first with it being my first semester in college after being out of school for a few years, but once I found my own routine I realized just how awesome of a teacher he was. YOU HAVE TO DO THE HOMEWORK. Trust me, it's worth it. He will explain anything you do not understand. Plus he's hilarious!

I was TERRIFIED of taking my math class, and had actually put it off until the very end of my degree program. Mr Jackson was the best teacher I could have asked for. Not only was he easy going and very funny, he explained things in a way where it made sense. I felt confident in what I learned and I would recommend him 1000% for any class!

If you need help, just ask for it. Mr.Jackson explains everything. He will sit after class with you if you need help. Lets you do tests if you miss them. Gives chances to redo a test. Self paced homework. Has short and easy lectures. I don't think we stayed for the full 2 hours once during the semester. 100% recommend!!!!

Great professor. Funny. He's old school. No calculator in classes. Writes out all problems on board, so be in class! He opens door right at time class starts. You can get book online, me, had to get book. Not math savvy @all. I can't retain math for some reasons. Not my forte. He will do in class quizzes. Course @ SE/bldg 8. On line quizzes/timed.
