Jason is one of those instructors that make learning fun and challenging at the same time. I love his inside perspective due to his current career in the police force. I've continued to come back to his classes specifically because he's fair and understanding of the working student and also understands family life. Jason is a wonderful teacher

Each week, the instructor uploaded videos and supplemental articles for us to better prepare for the weekly quizzes. Failure to watch these videos will lead to poor grades. The videos appear to be recorded recently, and so the instructor is involved and not reusing the same videos term after term.

You'd better be ready to participate in this class. Each week (except for the last two) you're required to participate in a short writing forum.

This class did require a little more work than some online classes I have taken but not so much that it's overwhelming. This class can be easily taken amongst a full schedule if you can balance your workload well. The quizzes actually require knowledge of the course material, however, if you know how to navigate a textbook, that definitely helps.

Would take again

He's a pretty solid teacher. I took an online class that he taught and I didn't find myself lost or wondering what was going on or what was due, it was all very clear and concise. He also does a good job making the class interesting and relevant. In some chapters I actually looked forward to doing the reading. Overall it was a great class.

Wouldn't take again

wasn't much interaction outside of the video lectures. a lot of his material is outdated and the videos are very long. lots of mandatory forum posts. I had missed one assignment the second week of the term, it was only worth 10 points out of the 400, and I received an email telling me to either never miss an assignment again or drop the class.
