Awesome professor! It's not a walk in the park, but definitely better than Mize. He's incredibly funny and he's a good teacher. His tests are pretty difficult, but if you go to every class, read the textbook, do the study questions for the online quizzes, and attend the test reviews, you'll get an A. I'm going to miss going to his class!
I got an A in this class and I didn't read a single page of the textbook. How? SI sessions. You don't have to attend the weekly ones (I didn't), but MAKE SURE you go to the ones before the exams. Print out the follow-along sheets for the reviews and if you study it and know it front and back it's a guaranteed 85 or above, plus the curve he gives.
What an excellent professor! Jakubow is funny, intelligent, and a great lecturer. His book is expensive but it's very well written and easy to understand. Jakubow will try to answer any questions so don't be shy. Online quizzes are a give away! All the answers are given in the practice questions. ;) I had the highest grade in his 10am class. 98.04
Good professor class is not boring. Read powerpoints and know book info for tests but also go to class because i clicker is 20% of the grade. quizzes are easy
Psycology with Jakubow is a great class. I would recommend to anyone. He always makes the class interesting and gives lots of chances for good grades. With iClickers being 20% of your grade and very easy points you will definitely want to come to class. He however does not always cover all the info in class so you have to read the textbook
NOT AN EASY A, great professor, however. Jakubow teaches the subject very well and is easy to understand. The tests, however, are not as easy as you may like and you really do need to read the book.
Funniest guy ever!
I absolutely love his General Psychology class which he would teach some other Psych classes as well. I''ve got an average 97 in his class all because of the study guides online Quizzes are super easy if you do the study guides Textbook is very straight forward and he does his best to help you out The class is super easy if you bother trying
Jakubow is a brilliant professor. He brings jokes to classes to make lectures interesting. He is clear. His exams are tough, but he will more likely to curve them. If I were you, I would take him. I passed his class with an A-
Jakubow has his entire class already printed out as a power point, and he gives you a copy of this power point as a spiral notebook. Make sure you do all three experiments or you will fail, and be careful with how he makes participation points mater (he uses the Iclicker). VERY funny guy, very very well versed in his field.
Very funny!! Class is pretty easy just don't forget to do the online quizzes that are due right before the exam. If you pay attention in class you wont need to study that much for the exams, but if you read the book or at least the powerpoints you'll be fine for the 3 exams and the final. iclicker all day every day!!!!!!!
Pay attention to lectures to get the correct answer for iClickers and even if you don't read the book just go t the review sessions to pass the tests. Do all online quiz they are easy to do since they answers for them are in the study guide questions.
Jakubow is one of the funniest people I've ever met! His class is super interesting and he keeps it light with his humor. You definitely have to read and do the online assignments because his exams can be difficult. The online quizzes are super easy if you go through the study bank questions. Over all i have really enjoyed his class this semester.
Jakubow is an AWESOME professor! If Psychology isn't your thing, I would definitely recommend taking his class. He really gets down to the students' level. His lectures are hilarious. Participation counts, so go to class. Gives online quizzes for each chapter. Only 3 in-class tests all semester. Awesome professor.
He is a very difficult professor in my opinion. If you do not show up to class and you do not read the textbook you will not pass this class with a good grade. I made that mistake, I don't want you to also.
Dr. Jakubow is one of the best professors at FAU. His lectures are always entertaining. Participation is 20% of the class. The online quizzes are take home. Go to the exam reviews before each of the exams. He also gives generous curves on the exams.
Dr. Jakubow is an amazing professor who easily gave some of the funniest and best lectures I've ever heard. The class is not very difficult, and you will pass very easily if you go to class and sign up for StudyRoom. He encourages you to do whatever is needed to pass online quizzes, but you need to go to class for the iClicker points to pass.
Dr. Jakubow really gets down to the students level to include them in classroom examples in hilarious examples, while getting the point across. He always has office hours where you can ask any questions you'd like and he'll do his best to explain himself as clearly as possible. He also gives PLENTY of extra credit! clicker points are important!
Dr. Jakubow's class was very easy. He provides extra credit with each correct answer on the iClicker, and there's a relatively decent curve on all his tests. Be sure to do the online quizzes, and to attend class for iClicker because that is 40% of your grade. The tests are easy if you go to Elysse's exam review sessions. The book isn't needed.
Professor Jakubow is a very funny person and it makes the curriculum interesting. However, if you don't read there is no way you will be able to do well on the tests.
3 test which are not cumulative. Don't really need text book but must have online access code and lecture notes. Online quizzes are easy if you do practice problems first. Go to lectures for participation. Iclicker is very important! Go to si, study lecture notes, and practice question you will pass.
I took Jakubow for general psych and his lectures were always entertaining. Show up with your iclicker and go to the SI sessions before the tests and you will pass with no problem. Never had I heard a professor curse so much but it doesn't matter because he's hilarious.
the online quiz questions are randomly selected from the practice quiz questions so if you do those you'll be fine. Answer your iclicker questions and go to the SI exam reviews!
Jakubow is by far one of the best professors I've ever had at FAU. Class is no "easy A," but you'll gain A LOT of knowledge over the semester if you apply yourself. His articulate lectures of the material inspired me to minor in psych as an undergrad. Now, I'm planning to go to grad school to study social psychologycognition. Also, he's hilarious.
Dr. Jakubow is hilarious and really knows what he talks about. He takes his time on the material explaining each slide into depth. Although he cant cover everything in class, he highlights the most important on the slides. The online quizzes help tremendously. (Those things gave me my A). Pay attention and actually TRY to learn and you'll pass.
-Jakubow is very funny and interacts with the class, made the subject less boring. -The textbook and his study guide is useful. -not to mention he gives a lot of points for attendance.
Great teacher! he inspired me to minor in psychology! exams weren't too bad, his lectures are hilarious, and the clicker points make a huge difference! If you go to his office hours he will clear any misunderstandings you may have. The book is very straightforward and easy to understand. I would certainly recommend him!
You just need the book for the access code. He's super funny and his lectures are easy to understand. Go to the SI exam reviews, do the online quizzes, and get the iClicker questions right and you'll be fine.
This class was not difficult. Jakubow is a silly guy and he jokes during lecture to help you remember the material. He is very understanding and helpful when you go to his office hours, too! I liked the course a lot. Read the textbook chapters, attend lectures, and do your quizzes! You'll be fine.
Great Professor. Overall the class is pretty simple. He keeps you interested in the subject. A lot of material to cover but if you do the online homework and study questions it will be an easy A. Make sure to show up for class and get the I Clickers right it can really help out your grade.
By far the best professor at FAU, too bad he doesn't teach anything besides Gen Psych!! He's hilarious and has a dark sense of humor, a lot of people in the class don't get that. If you go to his office hours he'll answer any questions you might have. Iclicker points make a huge difference in your grade too, exams aren't terrible but must try!
Wish I could take his class again!!
Really funny professor. If you do the work, it is a relatively easy class. Recommended to read the book, it helps understand the material much better. He makes the subject interesting, and engages with the students.
Best psych professor ever!
Such an amazing lecture, as compared to my science lecture. He makes information easy to digest with his jokes and related material sent through emails. He also gives a ton of participation clicker questions throughout the class and sometimes hints towards the right answer. Is easy-going but his tests require you to think and know specifics.
Jakubow is an amazing professor! Although his tests a bit hard the lecture is interesting to attend. He is the funniest professor I have had and he interacts with the class. He always seems to make everyone laugh and the class enjoys being there because of the weird things that comes out of his mouth. Iclickers are used every lecture so attend!
He is an amazing professor. He knows the lectures are long and tries to make them fun and engaging. Pay attention, do the reading, do the online quizzes. I'm still falling behind a bit but it's nothing studying can't fix. I love this class and the readings in the book are actually pretty interesting.
This professor is hilarious!! There is not one time that I don't laugh my butt off in his class. He is very clear when explaining the material. You get to do quizes online, and tests in class. You do have to read the textbook, but he is an amazing professor and very understanding if you have some issues.
Great professor, makes jokes during the lecture and tries to make class as interesting as possible. Do the online quizzes, read the textbook and study as much as you can before a test because are very hard if you are unprepared. And go to class because the iclicker is used during every lecture.
I dont find psych interesting, so the lectures are boring to me but hes funny so that keeps me somewhat interested. Theres only 3 exams, if you dont read the book or pay attention youll fail, iclicker points everyday, they really help your grade. online quizzes count alot too. just read the book.
Jakubow is a clown! Love his sense of humor. His lectures were interesting. Exams are not the easiest thing, study the powerpoints, watch the videos he sends you through emails (yes, there are questions on the exam about them) and read the textbook! There are 4 in-class exams and lots of online quizzes. I-clicker participation impacts your grade.
Took Prof. Jakubow for Fall 2014. I will say this now, if you don't make at least a C in this class, then you shouldn't even be at FAU. He curves the tests like 10-20 points, the online quizzes are the same ones as the practice problems online and he gives extra credit through iclicker Qs. I skimmed the chapters and memorized the SI review. Easy A.
Jakubow is a great teacher but he is not going to make it easy for you. You must go to class for iclicker points. He uses them every class. The test are hard but really easy to cheat off someone if you sit next to a smart person.
As a person, he is hilarious and makes things interesting. However, the lecture notes don't hint at all what is going to be on the test. He tells you to read the book in order to pass the tests, but everyone still fails them. What helped me get an A were the online tests and 10pt extra credit on each test. Bring iclicker everyday & read the book!!
Jakubow is absolutely hilarious, his lectures pretty much have nothing to do with the exams... but you still need to go to class in order to get participation from iClickers. You have to do the research which is easy, and do the study questions which will help with the tests. Tests are pretty difficult so make sure to study.
He is a funny guy, but honestly you have A LOT of reading to do. He said "I suggest you read the textbook material three times before each exam. Remember, reading the 160 pages three times over within a four week testing cycle requires you only read about 24 pages per dayMonday to Fridayno weekends. That is about two hours per day. ", be ready
10 point curve for every test and try to at least get the i-clicker questions right for small EC. Research participation is required to pass (sign up early!!), online quizzes are easy (the answers are all on quizlet). Tests are harder--review the quizzes and lecture notes for them. Never opened that textbook. Go to SI tutoring instead.
He does a ton of clicker questions. all the online quizzes are open book and the questions on the quizzes match the study guides questions online *(also gives you the correct answer) but if you don't show up to class YOU WILL NOT PASS.
Decent professor and definitely funny. You MUST come to every class if you want credit for iClicker questions, the exams (4) are very specific in detail and difficult, you are REQUIRED to do a research participation assignmnt (wont pass class if you don't) and there are online quizzes for each CH. which are easy. MUST purchase his lecture notes!!!
Definitely do not recommend!!! Exams are very hard and must study very thoroughly! Takes a couple of days to email you back when asking questions and whenever you miss a class you must show proof of your excuse to get points. Super challenging course and would never take it again.
He is an overall great professor. You must be ready to read for this class and study. Not an extremely hard class but not easy either. I made D on 2/3 of the exam and an a C on the final but still managed to get a B in the class due to online quizzes, and Clicker points (attendance). If i actually studied I know i could have done way better!
he's an amazing professor! if you put the time into the class, you'll get an A. I passed with a 95 and he gave a 25 point curve with the final exam!
Jakubow is a great professor! He sets aside the first 10 minutes of every class to answer any questions. If you pay attention in his lecture and read the notebook you can get almost every iclicker correct which tremendously helps your grade. His test are applied concepts not definitions. Studied from the quizzes got B's on tests.
Jakubow is an amazing person but if you do not study, you will not pass. Even with the 10 point curves on test. Do all the homework and try to attend class as much as possible to receive points.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about this professor! He is just absolutely hilarious, explains the material so well, reminds us when things need to be turned in over and and over and over... He really does everything he can to make sure his students succeed. You will have to read to do well on the online and in class exams.
This professor should be on Comedy Central, because he can teach and amuse his students easily. Take him if you can. He will curve the test grades, even the final tests he will curve too.
Jakubow is a great and funny guy he has a dark sense of humor that not everyone really gets but he's hilarious. You can find the answers to the homework online but let me tell you it'll take forever and youl'll learn a lot more if you just crack open the text book. Make sure you go to class and do Iclicker and read the text book for the tests.
Jakubow was a good professor. His sense of humor is very prominent and always makes jokes in class to keep the class fun. You have to do extra reading in the textbook besides his lecture notes because he doesn't cover all of the information on exams in class. Tests are tough but he curves! Also, he does iClicker questions in class so always come.
I am warning you, do not take any other psych professor but him. The man is hilarious! He actually makes psychology fun. You do have to study to pass.
Jakubow designed this course around the quintessential college student. You need to show up to class, study at least an hour to 2 hours per exam, participate and keep up with your emails to pass the class with at least a B. He's a really funny guy and gets students involved with lecture. Requires a little effort but nothing unmanageable.
GREAT PROFESSOR!! He's hilarious!! He knows how to make learning fun and captivate the students! People may complain that his class was hard, but that's only true if you don't show up and don't read the textbook. I know the book is long, but that's honestly the key to passing. I read the textbook and ended up with an A. Plus, all tests are curved.
Jakubow is hilarious, I really enjoyed his class especially because the material was really interesting. His humor is somewhat vulgar so some people don't like him, you get a lot of participation points and he curves the tests by 10pts. There is online quizzes for every chapter (you need a textbook) but the answers are on studyblue and quizlet, duh
AMAZING. He makes the lectures interesting & definitely knows how to teach! Curves the tests with 10 point curve & make sure to go to class for the iClicker questions! Tests are straight forward.
Hilarious professor, lectures are very clear and informative tests and quizzes are online except the final. Defiantly read the text and review the lecture notes and have an iclicker ready.
Questions on tests and quizzes are poorly worded and impossible to find in the book.
Jakubow is the most amazing professor!! He is hilarious and his class is super easy to pass! Everything is online, even the exams! The only exam that is in class is the final. I recommend him 10/10!!!
Jakubow is a great personality, but when it comes to the course and the lectures I did not like him. Participation is a necessity because the points from participation make a HUGE difference. I passed with an A, but his class is based around his book. Get ready to study and read to pass. His lectures are alright, but he is funny.
Funny as hell, make sure you go to class because attendance will shaft you!! Pay attention in class study notes and the quizzes.
He tries to be funny, I sometimes laugh but his jokes could sometimes be offensive.
Jakubow is a good teacher, has a very dry sense of humor. Know's what he's doing. As long as you read and go to class, take notes, and answer the iClicker questions, you'll be fine for the quizzes/tests. Quiz questions are all pulled from review questions from online textbook.
I loveeee him, he's so funny so I enjoyed his class a lot. Attendance isnt mandatory but you should go for his iclicker quizzes b/c those points will pay off in the end. You need to buy his textbook and lecture notes, but all of his quiz questions AND ANSWERS are literally in the book or on the website (use the study questions to study)
Jakubow keeps you entertained to say the least. If you don't pass the class with all of the opportunities he gives, I don't know what to say to you. Taking general psych with him is not a question.
Jakubow was okay, but not my favorite. Take him for general psych because he's the best you will get, but his jokes can be a little out of left field and kind of morbid. Not the biggest fan of him but his lectures are very helpful.
Definitely recommend Dr. Jakubow for this class. He's funny and very knowledgable about the subject.
Dr. Jakubow was an alright professor. He is very morbid with his jokes and will lowkey call the entire class stupid. Attendance is mandatory if you want the participation. You have 12 online quizzes(use the study questions!!), 3 online exams, and 1 in class final. Again, he was fine, but he comes off really offensive with his jokes.
Knowledgeable about the subject matter, makes the lectures entertaining for the students, and does a good job of conveying information effectively. The people who are scoring him low for being "morbid" or "hostile" are too easily offended. Some of the content on the online quizzes isn't covered in class, make sure you do the practice questions.
13 online quizzes, 3 timed open book online exams, 1 in class final. The online quizzes are the same as the study questions. Work with other people when taking the online exams. WATCH the YouTube videos. Go to class for iclicker, those points add up! You MUST read the book to prepare for the online exams. Final comes straight from the online exams.
I only went to about 10 lectures. You do have in-class participation with the iclicker, but you do not necessarily have to show up to pass. Everything is online, all quizzes and exams. The only exam in-class you have to take is the final. You also have to participate in 3 study credits which are a breeze.
jakubow is a funny guy, make sure you dont skip class participation MATTERS. got a 108 on the final, class is pretty easy
One of the nicest and funniest teachers I ever had. His lectures are long but he finds ways to make it more interesting. I would definitely recommend.
Curves on exams, cares for his students, and you'll laugh your butt off every time you go to class.
Great class easy to pass 12 quizzes and 4 exams and 1 final exam buy a i-clicker and access code only
The quizzes are easy to pass, the exams are extremely difficult. If you miss one i clicker question, or one class, your participation grade will suffer and it will bring down your overall grade. Work hard for an A, it is not easy to achieve.
He's easy going and lectures can be boring but not usually. Quizzes are open book so it's really easy to get an A. He's definitely a good choice, because there is minimal work.
Great guy, absolutely hilarious. Responds quickly to email. Homework is just online quizzes, with study guides provided. Final was extremely easy if you paid ANY ATTENTION AT ALL in class (a lot of people didn't), I got a 96 without studying. Doesn't take attendance, but grades using in-lecture questions and the iClicker. Actually cares, passionate
Easy class! He is funny, nice, and easy to understand. Quizzes and exams online which is easy use the study plans for quizzes. Final is in person but not too bad look at the exams. I very much enjoyed the class. No attendance but there's always iclicker questions so you have to show up.
One of the best professors I've had. As long as you go to class and use your iClicker, you will do great. He's hilarious. I highly recommend this class even if you know nothing about psychology.
Probably the funniest professor I've ever had. I wasn't excited about taking psych , i just needed it for the credit for my major, but he made it interesting and he gets college students more than any professor. Take his class.
Went to class just to laugh test and quizes online.
3 tests, 12 quizzes (60 Q each - 80 min time limit) for 12 chapters, no homework - other than the (4) journal summaries or 4 credit experiments that can be completed at any time. Very funny. He uses clickers because of the class size. The clickers are used for participation points. His tests are easy. I would take him for any other psych class.
Amazing professor
Amazing Professor. You wont be bored. He jokes a lot and he's not at all rude. Get ready to read there are a lot of quizzes 12 to be exact
He is a great teacher. Funny and laid back. Does iclickers for participation credit. Also, there are 12 quizzes and 2 exams, but they are online. Just do those and you'll pass the class. The final is in class, but he takes some of the questions from the first two exams. Respectful of students, and won't call you out.
Jakubow is truly a gem. I went to him when I was having problems with another professor and he helped me out. Quizzes are online, Test 1&2 as well, Final is in class and Questions come from test 1&2 and chapters 9-12. Participation/attendance is iclicker so it's graded. He's funny and makes it interesting. I def recommend taking Jakubow.
Awesome professor! He is funny and makes the lectures interesting. His class consists of 12 chapter quizzes and two exams that are all online. The only thing that is in class is the final exam. He uses the iclicker for participation points and those are very helpful for your overall grade. I definitely recommend taking Jakubow.
He is super funny. Participation and attendance is required you answer several clicker questions throughout each lecture. His quizzes and tests (except the final) are all online, and you take them at home. He has notes you can buy which are basically the powerpoint but printed, it's nice if you don't enjoy taking notes in class.
Class is lecture based with questions asked in between with the iclicker. I just downloaded the reef app and use it in class. You should go to class if you want to pass but tests and quizzes are all online except for the final exam. He's super funny and even though I'm not all that interested in psych, I don't mind his class. Easy to contact.
Pretty much what everyone else has said. He gives hilarious and accessible examples in his lectures, and almost all the material you need in order to study is in the lectures and the website. Warning: he is not PC at all, and does come off as a little bit sexist. Pay attention in class and keep up with the quizzes, and you will ace it.
His lectures are pointless, but you have to be there for the iClicker. His quizzes and tests are not from his power point, but you can find them elsewhere for an easy grade. He thinks he's funny but really his jokes tend to be offensive. Overall, easy class.
I took him freshmen year and I want to take him again, although I'm not required anymore psych classes. THE FUNNIEST. Only people who find him offensive are sensitive. His lectures are the bests and I got A's on all the quizzes. He's the best, honestly.
one of my first professors at FAU and he was the absolute best! i recommend him to all my friends and they love him as well! i would highly recommend, he makes learning fun and he is very funny. i got A's on all the quizzes!
quiz/test are online (except final) and there are quizlets for all quizzes and text. He is funny. random quizzes for attendance
Impossible to fail if you go to class and do your work. Its a blended class but majority of the work is online. He uses iclicker for participation so if you miss class you get a 0 for participation for that day.
I had him for Psy1012 easily one of the nicest and funniest teachers out there. The class is mainly his lectures but the participation points are from the iclicker in class. Really funny and goes over everything in class. Test and quizzes are on his website and are pretty easy as long as you follow along in class. I would recommend taking him.
Loved the class, but was disappointed because Jakubow did not inform the class that the participation from the iClicker mattered so much. I got good grades on all the tests and quizzes, but my grade suffered so much from not going to class. GO TO CLASS!!
He's hilarious, I love coming to his class. Just pay attention, participate in iClicker questions, and do the work and you'll be fine.
His class is the only reason I get up in the morning. Jakubow is a hilarious and studious professor who makes learning fun and encourages his students to learn. Participation matters in his class, so it's important to go, but even if you skip you'd regret missing out on his jokes. Jakubow is the best professor I've ever had.
He was an all around delight to have as a professor. Loved him to death with his awkward but still funny humor. He looks like a Jerry Seinfeld clone and talks like one too.
Jakubow is funny and super chill. However, if you're hella sensitive don't choose him because he does curse and makes out of the box jokes. His lectures are interesting & you HAVE to go to class because he does multiple iclicker questions per class. All quizzes & exams are online except for the final. EASYYYYY A
This was a HARD class. Jakubow was pretty funny but I asked a serious question about the homework and he made a joke out of it in front of 300 people and didn't even answer my question so that was not cool. You have to study a lot for this class and do a ton of work. It was interesting the first week but then just went downhill from there.
Great professor who responds to emails asap! His lectures are clear and fun, but there are lots of in class clicker questions, so participation is a heavy grade. He is funny, but can seem offensive to certain people, so I do not recommend sensitive people to take this class.
If you are easily offended this is not the class for you. He is entertaining and the course over all is easy. Be ready to use Excel for homework, the instructions aren't always clear on homework either.
Quizzes and Tests are online and there is always a quizlet to study from. HW assignment every few weeks these are a little harder but if you use ur classmates you'll get it done. Does iclickers for attendance but can use app from room but sometimes will do on random slides where you have to be in class to know. Really funny guy.
Dr. Jakubow is so funny and he has great lectures (he is so entertaining omg). His class is an easy A since all of his work is done online and its all on quizlet. The iclickers are a big part of your grade though so make sure you go to class (not having any iclicker points will drop you more than a letter grade).
Hes nice and approachable. The assignments are easy. Iclickers used heavily. Quizlet makes he tests easy. You have to come to class to get participation points. Herein lies my only gripe. His humor isnt universally appreciated. Hes somewhat vulgar, and prone to discussions on material that I would classify as on the fringes the psychology realm.
iclicker used every class. Really interesting and funny lectures. The textbook, for me, was only used just for the access code for the online exams and quizzes. The only difficulties I had with the class were the homework projects which were very confusing. Grades are not uploaded to canvas , you have to keep track yourself.
Dr. Jakubow is not a bad professor and his lectures(must attend!!) are not bad. He gives homeworks every other week or so and does not talk about it in class. They are on excel and basically have nothing to do with the class. If you ask him about the homeworks he will either ignore you or make a snarky remark and not answer your question.
Pay attention and don't skip classes
IClicker used about everyday, lots of extra credit. Loved his lectures. He's aware a lot of kids cheat bc you can find so many of the tests on quizlet. Homework is sooo dumb and not relevant to what you learn, good luck. Never used textbook once, just take good notes and listen to his lectures. Thats also what the Iclicker is based on.
Jakubow is really funny, but beware sometimes his jokes are kinda offensive. He has IClicker quizzes every class so you kind of have to pay attention. In the beginning of every class he answers any questions the students have. Overall good professor.
My best teacher this semester. He has a really great sense of humor and never fails to get the attention of the whole class, all almost 300 of us. He gives out "extra credit" but if you miss the class it was given in, it counts as a missing grade against you.
The class is in a lecture hall, he is very funny and you participate using the IClicker. He just lectures using the powerpoint, which is also the book that you buy for his class. I would just buy the code for the online homework if you can. Homework and test are very easy and answers can all be found online.
Jackubow is unexpectedly funny. His lecture never failed to entertain me. This was definitely a PG 13 class. But the only problem I had were the confusing homework, which you only get 4-5 of them. Overall I'm glad I took this class.
Dr. Jakubow's lectures not only count for a good amount of your grade (iClicker) but they are also very interesting. It is fairly easy to pass this class as the quizzes and exams are done online (besides the final) and the iClicker gives lots of extra credit. As long as you put some effort in and actually attend class, you should pass.
The one thing I can say for this class is go to the lectures!! Even if you dont pay attention, go for the iClicker points because they really add up. There are Quizlets for the quizzes and tests which are all online, and the homeworks are difficult but not impossible. I recommend going to the SI sessions, they help with the in person final.
Nothing too special, but he gets the job done.
hes a great professor and very funny. Honestly towards the end of the semester I didn't go to this class that much and I still got an A. All tests and exams are online except the final.
Pretty funny but if you get offended easily or don't find profanity funny do not take this class. Okay teacher but does not round grades at all. If you get a 89.99 you will STAY at an 89.99 he will never round ANYTHING. You get graded on attendance and all you have to do is show up and pay attention, he will ask questions that will be graded.
2 exams plus the final, which is questions from past exams with a few new ones. Go to class, iClicker participation gives you extra credit. A handful of homework assignments. Only 1 was difficult. He is willing to help with anything and easily accessible. Don't need to read textbook. Use quizlet to study. Quizzes and exams online. Easy class.
My favorite teacher at FAU. Easy class and he is so funny. He knows that everyone cheats on the exams and homework, but he doesn't do anything to stop them. You have to go to class for iClicker, but honestly, I'd go even if they're weren't counted.
This is hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. He makes his lectures very interesting and he's always cracking jokes. His tests are long but they're open book and easy to pass. You can use the quizlet study guide to help you out. Make sure you have an iclicker though because it's used for attendance and participation every class;
Took this class because I heard good things only to find out he changed things up. LOTS OF HOMEWORK on excel. Time consuming and hard to understand. You need to go to class because of iclicker. If he sees class is empty he just makes up questions. Exams are hard if you dont study. Lectures the whole time.
Textbook is convoluted but tests and quizzes are not 100% lecture-based so quizlets and study questions help a ton. Homework is simple enough to understand as long as you pay attention and ask questions about it in class. gives extra credit for in-class clicker questions.
Really funny, good lectures, nice in person, responds well to questions and help.
I don't mind Jakubow as a teacher. The part that annoys me are his homework assignments. They have more to do with rocket science than they do psychology. After the first few homework assignments he basically stops explaining how to do them and you're on your own and confused. I wouldn't take this again because homework should be on info from class
funny
Great professor, although his entire class is lecture and if you don't listen then you will not get the iclicker question correct. These questions will impact your grade if you let them. Overall, he is funny and explains everything very well.
OH. MY. GOD. I took Jackubow for general psychology and quite honestly was one of the best classes I've ever taken. Dark humor tho. His lectures are interesting and funny. BUT! attendance his mandatory. If you do not answer Iclicker questions, it'll get rough. Excel homework is super hard and he doesn't explain it. Quizzes and tests are open book.
Great professor, funny and entertaining. Although, if you don't like getting pointed out during class do not sit in the front because he will include you in the lecture. Iclicker question are difficult and you must pay attention and come to class in order to get it right.
Dr. Jakubow is truly one of the best profs FAU has to offer. He is a respected prof, easy-going and reasonable that knows what he lectures. Attendance is mandatory however, you will not regret coming to class, he always makes jokes and keeps it interesting. Review the lecture notes and pay attention in class and you won't need to open the book.
He's a great professor, he's funny, and lectures well. Show up to class and pass, that's it. You don't use a textbook but do use his lecture notes which are like 150, and you have to buy it in order to do the quizzes, exams, and homework.
This professor is awesome. He is my first class and always starts my day great. Online quizzes are easy to pass, just do the study questions given. Everyday there is class participation, but he makes it fun, almost like kahoot. Jackubow makes it easy to pay attention, and always messes with us in awesome ways, he brought edible crickets one day :)
He's a great professor and super full of energy. Attendance isn't mandatory but you should go because of the iclicker grade. You have to do the research participation or you won't pass. Chill class.
He is honestly one of the best prof I have ever had. He is so funny and really nice. Textbook is required but it is honestly a really good book that has all the info you need to know. I would 100% take a class with him again, he's great!
Don't take this class if you don't know how to take a joke. It teaches his notes very thoroughly and it's an easy A.
Jakubow was a really cool professor, he mad class funny, but attendance is mandatory but not really. He uses i clicker but you can use your phone at home or wherever you are to get credit. The homeworks are a little hard but not to hard, you can work with friends to get it done. Also all test and quizzes are online, except the final.
Professor Jakubow is unlike any professor Ive ever had. He is hilarious and loud and always cracking jokes. All his quizzes and exams are online and you have weeks to do them. All the answers for them are online as well. Easy A and fun class to attend. I never wanted to miss because of his entertaining lectures. 10/10 recommend!
An incredibly entertaining yet informative and inspiring professor, Jakubow wants his students to experience psychology from a very unique point of view. His humor is incredible and can be darks, but he is truly engaging and does his absolute best for understanding. Tests are online and open notes, and homeworks are all through excel (statistics).
Super easy to pass. At first his homework assignments might seem difficult but usually the class before it was do (or the day of) he'll show the answers for the homework on the screen and explained how to do some of the things students had issues with. So just record the screen when he does it (like most people do) and get 100 on all of the HWs.
You have to show up to lectures but all the assignments are online except for the final exam. Quizzes have a test bank to study from, and the participation in the lectures helps significantly in the class. Quizlet is great for this class.
Definitely a professor I recommend! He had me laughing every class and always had a positive attitude. He acknowledges that there are answers to his quizzes/exams online but that doesn't stop him from providing everything you need to know. If all professors were like him I think I would attend classes more often. 10/10 cool guy
Professor Jakabow is hilarious. He made the extremely long lectures fun. He brought in specific things according to the chapter that we were on. He does teach bell to bell. Attendance is not mandatory however, you have to be in class to get credit for the participation grade that goes in at the end of the semester. He is a great instructor.
Jakubow is literally the professor you would want for every class if you want an easy A. The only reason why I give the level of difficulty a 2 is because you have to show up and do work outside of class. Show up and get i-Clicker points and do all the work, ITS ONLINE! Literally every answer is on quizlet. Easiest class and a fun professor
Amazing. The tests are online and all of the answers are on quizlet. Go to class for iclicker, they are easy and theyre part of your grade.
One of the easiest classes Ive ever taken. Dr. Jakubow is funny. The only things u need are his lecture notes, which are a book and printed version of the slides he does in class. Make sure u answer the iClicker questions as they will help a lot. You also need to do the research participation. Online quizzes and homework are easy. Final in class.
Super nice and funny. He was understanding and accommodating. The only thing is you have to buy his book because he's the author so it wasn't cheap but it was fine. I also wished he used one platform for his work but it was fine. The quizzes were a bit long and time consuming but not too hard. The class does require effort.
Took it online due to COVID. Was very hard to find time to read all the chapters, watch all the lectures and extra videos. Videos will be on the quizzes. Test/Quiz Answers can be found online. Homeworks are easy A's. Probably would have enjoyed the course more in person but he is honestly a great professor.
This class is an EASY A. All quizzes and tests are quizlets online. There are little to no homework assignments, which only require you to copy and paste two things into an excel document. Easiest class I have taken.
the online version of this class is really simple to follow. its just a chapter a week basically and 5 homework assignments, his lectures can be lengthy but the info he presents is kinda interesting
Super easy class online. His Zooms are mainly Q&A's so you don't have to sit through a boring lecture. Homework is worth a lot of points but is extremely easy. Quizlet is definitely a big help for studying for quizzes and exams and the chapter quizzes definitely prepare you for the exams. I recommend
This class wasnt hard, there are a lot of quizlets to help you study, and the quizzes werent bad. The homework assignments take about 10 minutes tops, but are very detail oriented. Took this as a gen-ed, you will be totally fine.
The content is mostly on a website called KHP Content. The quizzes and exams do not require lockdown browser. There are some grades submitted through canvas but mostly on KHP, which is hard to find an overall grade as both show a separate grade. The teacher lacks empathy or much for the students success.
This class was an easy A! all the quizzes and tests were easy (the answers can be located online) and there were only 5 homework assignments that were really easy!
This class was very easy! Even though the class was fully online he still took time to do Q&A sessions to answer any questions. Lectures are quite long but interesting, the homework is detail-oriented but quick to complete, and Quizlet will be your best friend.
Lectures and quizzes are quite long, but its a pretty easy class.
impossible to get ahold of. Refuses to answer emails, same with TA and all around just doesnt care. easy class that requires no effort until it is time to try to get ahold of the professor.
Took this class online. Lonnnng lectures but a really easy A
Didnt really learn we were just told to read from his textbook -- which he wrote -- then take a quiz with 60 questions. Each chapter is extremely long. This is a class that you can cheat but learn NOTHING. Personally that isn't something good since this is actual information ill be needing to know in the future. NO MAKEUPS OR EXTRA CRED, VERY RUDE!
His hw is so easy and takes like 2 minutes! He has a yt channel where all of his lectures are but the organization confused me a little. He does chapter quizzes and the tests are usually on 4 of the chapters. He gives flash cards that have the same questions as the ones on the quizzes/tests so that helped a lot. His emails are really funny. No ec!
Worst grading criteria all of his tests and exams are on Quizlet. You would be better of teaching yourself and doing your own grade calculation. Doesn't know how to use Canvas waited until the last minute to let everyone know that the KHP content grading content was incorrect and I end up failing his course. All of the quizzes are 50 questions.
BEWARE THAT EVERYTHING IS WEIGHTED EQUALLY!!! So dont think if you do well on the exam it can help balance out any missing homework all the grades are averaged to get the final grade. So all homework, quizzes, and exams are worth the same. So your homework is worth just as much as your exam so DO ALL ASSIGNMENTS!
I enjoyed his youtube lectures. Very good at lecturing chapters. All quizzes and exam online. Do the assigned work and this class is an easy A.
this class is so easy. just make sure to do the homework's and quizzes before the deadline. he's an easy A
This class is very passible. There is barely any HW, the tests are very easy, you just have to know the dates because there isnt any reminder unless you set one for yourself. very very very easy class i would suggest for everyone taking psych unless you want it to be hard.
Semester isn't over yet, & this has been the worst class I have taken to date. I choose this professor because of all the GREAT reviews that I read about him & about his class. The reviews made it so I was actually excited to learn about Psychology. If I could of rated this professor a '0', I would of. Save yourself the trouble, do not take him.
hilarious and a great professor.
Not only is Professor Jakubow one of the most lazy professors at Florida Atlantic. He does not teach at all. This class and him would be getting 0 stars if it was possible. His grading is all out of wack and the weight does not make sense. He tried to get us to fill out his SPOT evaluation so good things could be said about him, but he isnt good.
This prof. has taught nothing this whole semester. Also, the TA's suck. My grade is at a B because of how harsh they grade the hw. I would email the TA for help and ask what I did wrong and she never answered any of my questions. This class would be much better in person, don't take it online. Gives no extra credit, no matter if you're at a 89.9.
Textbook is super cheap. Its an online platform. Read, take chapter quiz via online textbook platform. Practice quiz have the same questions as actual quiz. Exams <3 quizlet. Everything given via online platform. Not canvas. Need 4 study credits for Psych (nothing new), very easy if youre 18 and up. Def recommend. You can get a 100 in this class.
In an online format, this class was super easy. It was very straightforward, take the chapter quizzes and exams. The only part that was slightly challenging was the research portion, but if you choose the summaries they are easy to complete.
Took this class fall semester. Doesnt teach at all really, probably the laziest professor Ive ever had. Only has office hours and youtube videos. Do the homework and exams and its an easy A however
The only way to do bad in this class is if you don't do the work. There are 23 total grades, all equally weighted. The homework assignments were very simple if you follow the directions. You just had to copy and paste. The quizzes are pulled from the study questions. He also has twice a week zoom meetings for questions you may have.
Here's the thing if you wanna learn something from this class you would have to do it yourself but if youre here only for the credit he's the perfect match for you, literally everything is answered you just need to find them and every hw takes max 3mins and quizzes like 20-30mins exams are all answered already so there's no way you cannot pass him.
Horrible experience with this professor. I have received all As throughout college and this was my first C. He doesn't answer emails for long periods of time, isn't clear with instructions, and does not give feedback. I reached out multiple times to him and the TAs on how to correctly complete assignments and was given no feedback or answers.
To anyone on the edge of deciding whether to take Dr. Jakubow, I say do it! I've had the experience of having him both in-person and online, and online classes do not do Dr. Jakubow justice since it lowers the student experience. He is very much an in-person prof and in the classroom, he is absolutely amazing. One of the best in the psych dept.
After being in class, Dr. Jakubow's style is very obvious. His 'amazingness' is in-person lectures and not online. I made a lot of office hours appts and he was great. No hesitation to recommend him for in-person, online is a gamble. He only taught online this once because of COVID. All the bad reviews are from online, his in-person lectures are a1
The only bad thing ab this class is that you need to pay for the textbook bc you need a code. The professor is hilarious and the lectures are amazing, not boring at all.
One of my favs. Course work is not hard. Maybe 6 HW assignments the whole semester and some exams. He was willing to help and cared about his students. Not hard at all just read the book and take the tests which were all open notes. He responds quickly and is fun to be around.
He's the best. Everything is on quizlet. You don't have to show up to lectures, just do the hw and quizzes and tests. The easiest class I've ever taken.
He is a very good professor, he makes jokes and tries to make the material interesting. Only about 6 homeworks; one is due about every other week. Quizzes and exam are all online except the final.
Hes really nice and sweet
DEFINITELY TAKE HIM!!! Super nice and funny professor. All lectures are recorded. Very easy class only about 6 homework assignments. As long as you stay on top of your work, you will be fine. Online textbook is mandatory because it gives you access to tests, quizzes, and assignments. 4 mandatory hours of research study that can be done online.
Great class. Easy if you do all the work and attend class. You will be busy but it is manageable. TA was great and very responsive. Learned a great deal.
His class is fun and easy
The hws could be a little confusing with the wording of the instructions, he makes boomer jokes so if you're into that then go ahead. Id take this class again simply because of it's easy A. The exams and quizzes are very easy, like extremely. So its hard to fail and easy to pass. Plus he records his lectures so you don't even have to show up :)
His class was really easy the test have study questions attached to them that are the actual test question so if you study from that you are guaranteed to pass.
Please take him if you can, it's very hard to not pass his class. His assignments are easy and only has a few. Easy A tbh.
Dr. Jakubow is funny and super nice. He makes lectures fun and interesting. He cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. Everything is online so its hard not to get an A. Highly recommend taking his class.
Most annoying online site to access grades, work, ect, went to the class once and looked the rest up for quizzes
Although this was an easy class to take, the exams are weighted pretty heavily. However, they were very straightforward and honestly super easy. This was one of the easier psychology classes I took online. Didn't really have much one-on-one time with the professor, but the class was cool.
Take Professor Jakubow! There were only 6 homeworks, very simple. 12 chapters, he cuts them into 3 exams, leaving the weekend: saturday-sunday to complete it. Exams online are timed, no camera. Easy. Follow lectures, take notes. Quizzes for each chapter, not timed. 4 chapters quizzes due that friday before exam. 25 point curve on final.
This class was fairly easy, but the answers for tests come from the textbook. While the lectures were really entertaining, they don't really have anything to do with the tests so you really don't have to go. DO THE RESEARCH STUDIES EARLY. You don't wanna get stuck writing the article submissions so do the research studies early! Good Luck!
Really easy homework. The test and quizzes were all online except for the the final. All of the test, quizzes, and homeworks are weighted the same. you have to buy the online book access code to send in the homework and do the test/quizzes. attendance isn't mandatory and the lectures are word for word from the book.
Jakubow is so funny. It was so refreshing to sit in one of his lectures. He makes it hard to not pay attention when he's making hilarious jokes and comments. The only thing I would recommend is that for the quizzes and exams you are going to have to do some online reading of the textbook to study.
Dr. Jakubow's lectures were very entertaining and informative. The class was not hard at all. You do have to buy the online access code where you turn in quizzes and exams (at home/not monitored); all answers from class PPTs on the access code. 6 research assignments that are easy with plenty of time to do. Amazing professor and amazing class!
Very easy class + he's funny and involved. Minimal work and you actually learn.
good prof, lots of curse words yet very funny, lectures do not match with quizzes/ exams so going to them is kinda useless, mainly read the online psych book, tests are very straightforward, short assignments here and there, very interesting
Professor Jakubow is a great professor! There are only a few assignments that are due every 2 weeks, so you have time to complete them and around 3 tests as well; he is a very chill person; you can even consider it as an online class as to how easy this class was! Just do the assigned homework and get good grades on the test, and you will be okay!
Easy class. You do not even have to attend the lectures. Everything is easy.
Good teacher, attendance isn't enforced. There are 6 hw assignments, 4 cumulative exams, and 12 chapter quizzes that are due in batches of 3. All assignments are online and you HAVE to buy his current textbook or else you can't complete assignments
Super super easy. You dont need to go to lecture however they are entertaining and hes a nice guy. All answers for the quizzes and tests (not on lockdown!) are on Socratic (app). You can also do things way in advance. The final is either being apart of research projects (highly recommended) OR short SUMMARY essays super easy either way.
Prof Jakubow is a good professor, but if you take him during the summer be aware that whatever you don't get through in the lecture you'll have to learn yourself. The class isn't that difficult as long as you take notes. Some of the jokes that he makes in class can also be a bit uncomfortable. Also, you MUST buy the textbook.
if you want an easy A take this professor - the only downside is that his lectures are quite boring and the software he uses is stupid. i took him couple semesters ago and all my friends agreed hes the easiest professor to pass. all got As.
Definitely the only class I would sit through willingly. It helps to have a good professor who has moments of standup comedy. He engages with the students who attend his lectures by using them in made-up examples, or just by making jokes. There was barely any work for this class. I think the final exam is the only thing you might need to study for.
He's a great prof, but can get easily sidetracked and go off on tangents that were somewhat but not as relevant to the material being taught. Hilarious, and very engaging in his style of lecturing with the students. If you're sensitive to crude and dark humor, I would steer away from the class, because he makes a lot of funny but dark references.
Professor Jakubow is one of the best professors I've taken on campus so far. He makes funny jokes to keep his class entertained and interesting. His lectures only provide minimal detail so it's best advised to get more information through the E-Text. The tests and quizzes are pretty easy if you pay attention and study. Overall an amazing professor.
Really funny guy who tries to make his lectures interesting. You need to buy the textbook all test quizzes and homeworks are on there. Not too many test and quizzes and almost all answers are on quizlet. Quizzes have no time limit and test are open on weekends for 70 minutes.There is research credit mandatory to pass the class which are annoying.
Interesting lectures. People gas up this teacher a little much he's alright tho! Just keep up with the dates and take notes.
This class was extremely easy. Attendance is a part of your grade, but you can honestly sign into it from home. Each homework assignment (there were only 6) was super easy. I would def take this class again.
He is a super nice guy! Fun class to go to everyday. Would take his class again!
Professor Jakubow makes lectures funny and entertaining. What's nice about the course is you can basically engage as much or little as you want with no consequence. Attendance is 1/3 of a percentage for every day you miss (miss 3 days its 1% off your final grade). Homework is so easy and quizzes and tests are online. Would recommend for an easy A.
Loved this class! This man deserves a raise. Attendance is mandatory but lectures are funny, and you can sit and do his quizzes in class. Most quizzes are online on Quizlet along with tests. The exam is 100 questions and is easy. I would recommend this class to everyone if I could. Felt like I was at a standup show. Great!
Attendance is a portion of your grade so BE ON TIME. The lectures are very boring so do not pick a morning time slot. His database used is very confusing and never working properly, so be sure to make sure your grades calculated is correct.Send the homework to TA to proof read, the directions for the homework is unclear and misleading.
He's funny, entertaining, and good at teaching, but I can't leave a great reveiw with how stubborn he is with giving extra credit/curving. He's very it even though many of the quizzes have spelling errors and publicly posted everyone's end grades with tons of people with 59.9% and 89.9% which could've been moved to passing Cs and As if he cared
This is a very chill class and so is Jakubow. The entire course is online from the PowerPoints, tests, quizzes, homework; everything with no LDB. All the assignments except tests can be taken at your own pace & finish by a certain due date. The information is easy to understand and everything is open book. Bonus: his lectures are funny.(Fall 2022)
This class was very chill and professor was funny. There were online exams and quizzes with open notes. Homework was very simple and easy. Definitely recommend this class it was an easy A.
literally amazing, dude is hilarious which made me actually want to go to the lectures. work load isnt bad at all.
Favorite prof. Lectures are short and very informative. Although most times he is the only one to laugh at his jokes, sometimes the things he says are truly funny. Uses his website which has the textbook, powerpoints, quizzes, and study tools. All the quizzes are online and on Quizlet. Only had a few homework assignments and they were really easy.
Jakubow is the funniest professor Ive ever had. Going to his class is like going to a comedy show. He makes his material extremely easy to understand and super fun to learn.
Funny professor and is helpful, tries to interact with the class. Homework and quizzes/tests are online
Really funny and interactive just make sure to take notes. His tests and hw are online
Funny, tries to interact with the class, only 6 homework assignments for the semester and test and quizzes are all online.
Pretty easy class. Personally, Dr. Jakubow isn't my favorite professor but nonetheless, he is structured very well and makes it known what he expects. As long as you don't fall behind, you should end up with an A or B.
James cares about his students and their mental health! He make sure to put his students first and he is very light on the workload! 10/10 would recommend
Funniest professor I've ever had!! Along with the academic notes I took in his lectures, I also found it fun to write down the hilarious out of pocket things he would say in class. He always found ways to engage his students. 4 research papers, but they were on topics of our choice so it was kinda fun. I learned so much from him
Goes over material somewhat quickly but includes videos and jokes around to get attention. Lots of quizzes but the questions are all from the study questions. Almost no homework in the summer.
Professor James Jakubow is a great teacher, and he's really funny too! His class is easy to understand, so I recommend taking it. You'll enjoy learning from him!
Great teacher, would take the class again. Took it during the summer term, he's nice and funny! 8.5/10 recommend MUST pay about $200 on a website that includes: textbook, lectures, quizzes/exams, and where you do your attendance. You don't need his lectures because the textbook and lecture notes are the website. Be prepared for quizzes.
hes really funny and can make a boring lecture interesting. there isnt that much work theres just alot of quizzes that have deadlines.
There are hard quizzes for every chapter, there are homeworks that are all on Excel and don't make any sense! If you don't know Excel, you will bomb those homeworks for sure! Does not use Canvas, but rather a totally separate program, keep an eye on the other program and mark your deadlines on your own calender. Not the best into to Psych class.
He is a solid teacher, but it's more so the actual class sucks. I'm not sure if it is just him, but the homework assignments are an absolute joke and have no correlation to psychology whatsoever. A few of them are also really hard. If you are able to, avoid this class at all costs.
Good lecturer and funny. Class was easier because exams and quizzes are all online, homework takes a little time and effort if you don't know how to use excel. Overall not hard to do well in this class.
I took Jakubow for psych, he is a good lecturer and he's very funny. He uses his own textbook website for lecture notes, homework, quizzes, and exams. The homework doesn't have much to do with psych but more of life skills using Microsoft excel. He makes lectures mandatory by using the textbook website to log into the lecture.
He is such a great professor. I wish I could take him every semester! He is so funny and really knows how to lecture and not put you to sleep. The information is a lot but you will understand it.
This is the absolute best teacher ever. I had him for an early class, but he made sure that it was worth it. He is so funny. All of the quizzes and tests are online. The homeworks are the only thing that could be difficult but only if you don't read carefully. Overall, favorite profesor at FAU.
He's amazing and his lectures are pretty enjoyable, he makes jokes and crazy comparisons that help you remember things and barely gives homework. i would 10/10 recommend taking his general psych course.
Professor Jakubow was a good lecturer and he was also funny, but personally i didn't like the lay out of his class. Everything was online. The quizzes were 50 questions each and if you did not read the book, the lecture would not help you at all for them. Some of the homework's were pretty confusing and the workload was a lot.
The homework Excel sheets are hard, so join a group chat!!! But he's funny and makes a lecture interesting. 12 quizzes. 3 exams. 6 homeworks for the whole semester
The class was easy. Everything online. Personally, I didn't like the professor. Some of his jokes were funny, others weren't. He needs to change his lecturing style because it could sometimes be boring.
He is hilarious! But the homework assignments have nothing to do with psychology- it's all statistics in Excel sheets which was insanely difficult to figure out since it was never taught in class. All quizzes and tests are online BUT barely found on Quizlet so prepare yourself. Extra 20 points on the final exam if 75% of the class fills SPOT survey
I have all A's, and this is my only class below an A-; I'm not even sure what my grade is because he makes you calculate it yourself, but I know it's not good. Also, all of the homework is graded by accuracy, and some of them are in Excel and really hard. Also, none of my class notes were on the test or quizzes. Don't take this class!!!
All tests and quizzes are given online with no lockdown browser. However, the answers are not online so use the book and the study questions!! His lecture was very interesting and engaging. The only complaint I have is the homework. It is all in Excel and most are extremely complicated. He does not round grades so make sure you are tracking it.
Dr. Jakubow is the most senile professor you can get. His lectures are detailed and correlates well with the textbook, he wrote it! The book must be purchased to do the quizzes which is a waste of money for one semester ($141). The HW assignments are few but around 3 of them are not fun and hardly have any detail (TA grades).
Very engaging lectures! Homework assignments can be challenging though.
I didn't pay attention to lectures in class. The homework is super easy and there's only one every two weeks or something. He says attendence is mandatory but at the end of the semester, he gave everyone 100. Quizzes are the only bad part bc there are some where you can't find any of the answers anywhere.
The class was terrible, if you don't have to take it, save yourself the time
He is one of the nicest and most enjoyable professors I have had so far. He relates the materials to everyday life, which makes them easy to understand. The only downside for me is that this is the only class he teaches. I would love to take his class again!
He was a great professor! His lectures were engaging and he was overall a pretty chill dude. The exams/quizzes were online w/out lockdown browser. You have to buy the online book for assignments. The only difficult part was the homework assignments (6 total); they had nothing to do with the lecture (I recommend having a group chat).
If you make the effort to just go to his lectures and pay attention (and refer to the textbook when you have to) you're set. Jakubow is really funny and clearly tries to make his lectures engaging. He's not the sort of professor who just reads from slides, he adds a lot and knows his stuff. HW can be tricky but you'll be fine. Overall, recommend!
Very easy, if you can't pass this course, don't expect to go to med school
Professor Jakubow made jokes which made lectures more bearable. He's a great professor and the assignments are easy. You could easily pass the class by reading the textbook, paying attention during lectures, and completing the assignments by the due date. I wish all my classes were like his. I highly recommend taking Professor Jakubow.
I went to this class 3 times the whole semester and passed just fine. all of the quizzes, homework, and exams are online outside of class. only thing is the homework have nothing to do with psych and are all in excel which are so confusing sometimes.
Although his class is entertaining, I did notice that his quizzes and exams did not always math with what he taught. You NEED to read the book to pass this class.
No. lacked effective structure. textbook was expensive, almost impossible to understand. Students used course for an easy A. Homework: copy and paste answers from random articles or complex statistics never discussed in lecture. NO psych vocab or homework to help learn the subject or material on exams. Would NOT recommend for psychology majors.
Professor Jakubow's course was very challenging. The textbook is extremely in-depth and dives into specific on each topic. The lectures over cover a fraction of the coursework, but that is to be expected with the limited class time each semester. The quizzes and exams are incredibly difficult, be prepared to study hard. This course is no "Easy a"
Best professor I had all semester. He was the only one that made his classes fun.
He was funny and lectured well. Although the homework assignments were hard and not easy to understand at all. The homework also had nothing to do with what we learned in class. Attendance wasn't mandatory but he had an online I clicker that took attendance if you were there and gave extra credit questions throughout the class period.
I loved professor Jakubow the homework is a little difficult but if you reach out to the TA's they are usually helpful. His lectures are funny and they make you want to pay attention. I would take this class again if I could.
The textbook is a website and the homework assignments are excel sheets that don't have to do with the course material. Overall, very easy to understand. Pay attention to the lecture (won't be hard, he's entertaining) and read the text at least once before every quiz and you will be fine. Extra credit with iClicker.
Awesome teacher, makes lot of jokes, interesting to listen the lecture, homework is not that hard how some of students can say, quizzes and exams online.
One of the coolest professors I've ever had! He jokes during the lectures, which makes it more interesting and most, if not all, of what you need to know for exams is given during lectures. The homework assignments are not hard at all and usually he will show you how to do it before the end of class. Overall a great professor !!
he was a funny and nice guy. all emails were thorugh his ta and same with grading. I never went to class, quizzes and exams were all online and easy to find answers. homework was super confusing though and I got like a 50 on half of them.
Good at teaching makes good jokes
LOVED HIM! Class was so easy as long as you submit your work on time and everything was online including exams and homework which was helpful. Attendance not mandatory. Great professor, he was really funny.
This professor always cracks jokes but be prepared there very uncalled for. All his assignments are online an overall simple. If you do all the homework's and quizzes on time you will pass his class. He will not go back if you summit something late because he gives it to you 3 weeks in advanced. Overall great professor, would recommend!
Amazing professor, lectures were very fun and entertaining. Attendance is not obligatory but I enjoyed the class so much I even started arriving earlier just to be on time for the lecture.
One of the best professors I've had. Enjoyable lectures and everything is explained very well. Definitely recommend.
This class was extremely easy and honestly pretty hard to fail. The professor was really funny and made lectures entertaining. He only gave four homework assignments the entire semester, and they were super simple. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but he gave participation points during lectures. Exams were online, open book, and NO lockdown browser.
In the beginning I enjoyed this class, however, he does not update grades in canvas for the whole semester. (or ever because everything is by the TA) TA's that he allows to not follow a common rubric, leading to unfair grades. I got a 50 on a homework all because of a small formatting mistake. He refused to even reevaluate. Final grade was 89.9.
Lectures were optional, but worthwhile to go to due to extra credit opportunities and amazingly entertaining and well explained lectures. Work is super easy to complete despite there being a quiz almost weekly. Quizzes primarily cover material from the book which is not always taught through the lectures, but there is no Lockdown Browser required.
Professor Jakubow has amazing lectures. He always keeps everyone in class entertained while teaching the topic. He normally gives 5-6 Homeworks and 4 Quizzes. The final exam is a combination of questions from the 4 Quizzes
Prof Jakubow's class is very straightforward and quite easy besides the "projects" which can come off a little confusing at first but aren't hard and easy to do.
Dude is funny as hell and very laid back would 1 million percent would take him class again he doesn't care
I liked professor jakubow, he was funny and made 9am lecture worth going to. Homework is easy and graded by the TAs. Make sure to do the homework and research credits.
I rate it hard, for the hw had nothing to do with the class at all & could never figure it out, but his exams are fine as long as you study the powerpoints. Make quizlets out of them. Attendance is 15% of your grade you must attend lectures or your grade will suffer greatly! He's super funny and nice so his lectures aren't boring. Class assistants
I'm in highschool and this was the first ever college class I took, I loved it so much! He was so funny, the quizes aren't bad just study the book and read the reading is important. Overall highly recommend his class!
very funny
He is funny, tests and quizzes are open notes and not locked down. Very funny and chill
uses the Kendall hunt website, the grades are posted there. its either you get 100% or a 0%. be careful and do exactly what the instructions say for the homework. the hw is every few weeks, and there are quizzes due at the end of 4 chapters. easy and attendance is not mandatory
be ready to buy a 150 dollar required textbook !! aside from that, he's a great lecturer and makes a lot of jokes each class. attendance isn't mandatory but if you download an app, then it's part of your grade. the homework doesn't correlate to the class whatsoever, but definitely go through the instructions posted because it can get confusing.
Jakubow is amazing! he is hilarious and makes lecture go by in a flash! however, he does not use canvas or anything normal. He uses his own website which costs about $200 for the access code. The first hw assignment is complicated and graded based on formulas on microsoft and it is nearly impossible to do on an apple device. But overall super easy!
Jakubow is the best lecturer I have ever had. He is hilarious and his lectures are never boring. Every homework assignment is outlined clearly and are all very simple contrary to what some people have said, it is impossible to fail the class. I would 100% take again super easy and interesting class and he is the funniest professor at FAU.
literally the best professor ever. funny as hell and makes tons of jokes. extra credit is basically iclicker attendance.
he was literally so funny and entertaining and made me want to listen and learn. sometimes almost too funny and gets distracted. did have to buy his textbook and barely used it. the few assignments for the semester seemed pointless but easy. all online work. actually felt like I learned some cool stuff tho!
the professor is great and i love him but the ta grades so hard the assignments are like finding specific articles from years and you will get a 50 if you space it incorrectly. so annoying
Pretty straightforward course. Attendance is not mandatory, but he offers extra credit to those who show up and use iClicker. HW assignments are very simple. Every assignment and exam is done online, not proctored. This class requires you to do research participation, where you have to participate in studies outside of class.
textbook is about $150. offers extra credit if you attend lecture and answer questions, but the app used for this costs $17. the professor uses a lot of profanity but is mildly entertaining at times. the assignments are pretty easy but the wording can be a little confusing. as long as you do the work, you should be able to get a good grade
so easy def take him. assignments were 6 hws, 12 quizzes, and 3 exams. attendance isnt mandatory but theres lots of extra credit if u get the iclicker app and go to the lectures. overall great professor.
He is a hilarious professor. I skipped class often but when I came he always made me laugh. Its a very easy class and I cant recommend it enough.
