Business Stats? Scary. Jeffrey May? Vroom Vroom! I have only had two classes and I think I might be in love.

This is his first time teaching stats but i have learned alot in this class! He is very helpful during office hours and will even meet with you at other times not posted. Entertaining lectures because you never know what to expect. You must stay prepared to do well in this class!!!!

if you can't learn stats from this guy, then you will not learn stats from anyone. I spent a whole semester last year trying to learn sampling distributions (i had to drop)it took only 10 minutes of listening to professor may before i got it. test are hard but he is fair and is always waiting for you in his office with a smiley face and candy

I think Professor May is a great teacher. He will do about anything to help his students and concentrates on teaching his student's to solve problems using logic. He gives extra chances to improve your grade with Bonus tests and cares more than most.

This guy is an awesome teacher! For those out there who dont work than dont take the class. Prof May is going to push you to understand the logic of problems not plug and chug. The class is very rewarding at the end! Plus he's very funny and pretty hot.

Statistics will never be the same for me after taking Professor May's class. He is entertaining and very informative at the same time. Goes out of his way to help students and grades on a nice curve. Class is A LOT of work(esp in excel)but it is very rewarding. I've taken stats before and he is by far the best professor I've had. Would take again

he's awesome!! Just do the hw and pay attention to his powerpoints in class. class is fun with a lot of jokes so he keeps you interested. he also curves tests and drops low quizzes so he makes it hard not to pass

If you take his advice and keep up, the class is really quite easy. Fair, generous, willing to help, and FUN. If you are lazy, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! He does not seem to deal with lazy people very well. Otherwise, great teacher.

Great Prof. Class is a little difficult but he make it pretty easy if you keep up with the work. Most freshman in his class think he's tough. Welcome to college; it only gets harder. Does a good job preparing you for upper level classes. Take it from a math major who basically used his lectures to learn stats 318.

Excellent professor who truly cares about his students. The beginning of the class is hard and the professor seems a bit tough, but he really gets the points across by the end of the semester. I feel like I have learned more in this class than any other and it is more than just stats!

this guy is hillarious! i have no idea where some of the stuff he says comes from, it is so random!! easy tests, except for the 2nd one, tells you pretty much what you need to know. prepares you really for the department final. knows his stuff, fun guy, take him for 191!!

Prof. maye was a realy good teacher, he started out being tougher and checking homework every class but later on softened up, taught well and tests werent that hard, he helped alot with what would be on the final, curved some tests and helped your grade overall with his grading system, he was really funny and one of the better teachers ive had here

The class is really hard in the beginning of the year, but then it gets progressively easier. Towards the end of the year he cuts the class lots of slack and helps out with occasionally extra credit points. He is really entertaining.

May was a great teacher. He is willing to help out any of his students as long as they are willing to do the work. It was tough in the beginning but he did some curves and extra credit to help us out. If you pay attention it really isn't that bad of a class. He's entertaining and has lame jokes that make class fun. He knows what he is talking about

Jeff May IS THE BEST PROFESSOR AT JMU!!!! He's hilarious and he makes the material interesting. He really wants us to do well so he is extremely helpful in class and office hours. He even teaches us how we can win money in poker!You should definitely take him if you have to take this course!!!

May is a great teacher and awesome guy. He is funny and keeps a boring subject interesting. He relates well to the students and will always help you out. Go to class and do the work (which isn't that much) and you will get a good grade.

May is the best teacher I've had so far. I actually wanted to go to class because he made a subject that I didn't really care about interesting. There's a lot of work at times and tests can be a handful if you don't study. Study and do your work and it'll be the best class you've ever taken.

May is the man! the guy is hilarious. He does expect you to learn alot on your own and goes through material fast in class. The tests are multiple choice and are easy if you know the concepts. Good amountof HW assigned. But he helps out your grade alot. If you dont get atleast a B in this class your not doing anything.

Dr. May is the best professor I have ever had. He is extremely interesting and very funny. He makes a dull subject come to life and makes his students want to learn.

Dr. May is an awesome professor! I've taken a stats class before but I didn't learn a lot. Not only does he help you learn the material, but you actually understand it. Keep up with the work and use your notes on the online quizzes every week.

He is the man. He is funny and has taught me more about stats than I ever learned in my first time taking it. You have to keep up with the homework but other than that he really makes you enjoy stats.

Prof May is my favorite professor. Although the class can be a challenging, if you do the work and make sure you get help with material you dont understand, its not that bad. He definitely makes the class interesting and tries to make sure the material is understood! TAKE HIM!!!

May is pretty darn cool. He teaches very good. He gets off track a lot to make really funny jokes but its awesome because it keeps me awake. Do not take this class if you are easily offended, otherwise, 100% get on this class!!!

I love Dr. May!! I honestly look forward to going to this class every Monday, Wed. Friday!! It's always entertaining! He makes you really understand the material. You cannot just memorize in this class you have to understand. But I would DEFINITELY take him!!!! HE'S AWESOME!!!!

Best professor you or I will ever have in your college career.He teaches the material in a way that forces you to understand it.The class is very entertaining yet you learn so much from him.I never want to miss his class!

Most amazing professor in the world. He is extremely helpful and cares so much about his students. I would DEFINITELY recommend him. You learn so much in his class and it is so entertaining because Dr. May is hilarious! TAKE HIM!

May is definitely my favorite professor so far. It is a hard class but he teaches well & keeps you interested, & if you do what he asks & keep up you'll do well. Try & get in one of his smaller sections w/ 20 ppl & he'll get to know you. He tries to scare everyone at the beginning, but then becomes pretty awesome & gives you study groups which help

Dr. May is the coolest teacher ever. He goes over everything you need to know and you get a cheat sheet for every test. Easy A if you like math

Dr. May is that dude. Even if you hate math he will at least stimulate you with his dialogue. The man is extremely accomplished which I believe helps him teach and students to learn better. Take Dr. May. Hands down the best professor I've had

Dr. May is an awesome professor! Take his class if you can. Stats is a boring subject but he makes it really easy to understand and is always there to help when you need it!

This class was so hard, mainly because I didn't know anything about stats & still dont. But Dr.May is really helpful, and the class is so fun. If you do all the work, go to class, and take advantage of the extra credit you can definitely get a B. .

Dr. May is by far the best teacher I've ever had in my entire life. I also had him for COB 191 and he was excellent in both subjects. He makes the most uninteresting material fun and has great stories to make the material relate to students. His tests are hard and he expects a lot, but if you go to class and listen you'll be fine. TAKE HIS CLASSES!

Greatest prof i've met so far. Damn mean n funny. Extremely "empathetic" (as he likes to describe himself). If you wanna enjoy a supposed-to-be boring class, take him. His review for final is topnotch. His class does better than every one else

Professor May is awesome!His class essentially requires attendance in order to succeed but his classes are highly entertaining and I actually looked forward to attending them. He will give you as much help as you need- as long as he thinks you care about the class. If you forget to take his online quizzes often he won't help you out. Take Him!

Dr. May is by far the best professor I've had. The way he teaches forces you to do the work. He also scares you at first but it's to get you to do your work. There's a lot of H.W but it will help you learn. He curves the test and gives extra credit. All you need to do is go to class, do your work, go to know him and you wont get anything below a B.

Dr. May is a fantastic professor. I had him for 191 & 204. He motivates his students to work hard, but keeps his classes fun with a lot of student interaction. I will miss you as my prof, Dr. May! Thanks for all your career advice! JMU is so lucky you are here.

Professor May embodies the type of professor JMU prides itself on. He is one of the most down to Earth people I have ever met and his teaching style leaves little if anything to be desired. He makes the mundane seem interesting. TAKE HIM WHILE HE IS STILL HERE!!

Dr May is THE BEST teacher i have ever had. He is super entertaining. He relates the information to funny things. On mondays he teaches you the info and on wednesdays he asks the students to ask questions and talk and it is super helpful, you really learn the info. TAKE HIM! i wish he taught all classes :) oh and sit in the front!!!

Yes he keep you entertained and all that, but it is so much more-He truly, truly, truly cares about his students and wants to see them succeed, not only in his class but outside of it. He went waaay above and beyond to help me when I had a problem. He practices as he teaches (Empathy!) JMU made a huge mistake by not giving him the tenured position.

Dr. May is the best, you should definitely make sure you get him for COB 204. The class is ridiculously easy as long as you do the work and participate in class. Even if you don't do that, he gives you plenty of opportunities to bring up your grade. Access and Sharepoint and just a pain, but nothing too hard. That and he's hilariously entertaining.

I found this class to be very hard but not 'superfluous.' Dr. May makes every day fun but relevant. He was the best teacher I have ever had and I say this even after receiving a B.

Dr. May by far was my best teacher last year. I never missed his class. You have to do the work or he will call you out. But if you come to class prepared, you will love this class.

Best professor i've had at JMU. You get on his good side, and you are set for the semester. Can be a little edgy/blunt at times, but is extremely helpful and makes class fun

Dr. May is great at relating information to students so that it can be understood. He does not like when you don't follow direction and will call you out in class and take off points if you slack. Make a noticeable effort & show interest, and you will do well in his class. Also, he shows interest in those who want to succeed and can help you do so.

Dr. May is a wonderful teacher. He's very intimidating at times, but is hilarious. Class is always fun and he tells funny stories. He is great and I highly recommend him. Advise: do the assignments exactly as the directions say and you will be set.

My favorite professor this semester. He related sometimes dull subjects to fun, interesting things students understand. 2 tests all semester, plus exam and sharepoint/access tutorials and projects. If you come to class, you'll understand everything for the most part. Great class.

May is the MAN! 2 tests and a final which if you pay attention during class you will be WELL prepared for. Access and sharepoint assignments are SO easy. Make sure you come to class and do the weekly questions and you'll be more than fine! He makes the class fun and tells hilarious stories. Wit and humor are his strong suits as well as teaching!

Dr. May is hilarious. COB 204 is so incredibly boring but he actually makes you want to come to class. Take him!

Professor May is without a doubt the best professor I have had here at JMU. I had no interest in CIS before his class, but I learned SO much. He explains everything thoroughly and will answer any questions you have, while also making you think for yourself. Tests were very straigh-forward. Do your reading and pay attention in class!

Dr. May creates an experience for his students that will last a lifetime. Words cannot express how much passion and energy he brings to class everyday. If you are lucky enough to cross his path, you will know what I mean. On the other hand, the workload is insane. Approach with caution!

This is the most entertaining class I've taken thus far. Dr. May is incredibly entertaining. Every time I leave his class I have a new story to tell my roommate. I definitely recommend him!! I hear he is a lot better than all of the others teaching this class. The work can be tough, though but manageable.

May is THE man. He'll call you out if you're not prepared but that's just because he expects the best from his students. He makes his lectures interesting and really wants students to learn. The access project really isn't that hard at all and Sharepoint is a joke Take this class with May, he has good stories of when he was in college to! I got a B

In addition to working my butt off, Dr. May helped me with my resume, prepped me for an interview, and his discussion on the SDLC single handedly helped me to land my first job. His class was ridiculously time consuming, but well worth it if you're serious about CIS. His holistic model of IS will stick with me the rest of my life!

He is very funny and you can not help but pay attention because you're always laughing. However, you can not procrastinate much in this class because there is a heavy workload. It is definitely manageable though.

Dr May is amazing. Best teacher I've had at JMU. Content is challenging, but May makes it fun. There is a lot of work but that is just the nature of the beast with the class. I've learned more in this class than any other class at JMU. He cares about all of his students and his class helped me get a job. You would be a fool not to take May.

Awesome class. Dr. May is the best teacher ive had at JMU so far. He keeps every class entertaining with his stories and examples. Also he is so passionate about getting you to understand the topics and is always willing to help in office hours. If you do the homework and pay attention in class you will do fine.

Dr. May's class ties the entire CIS department together and is the most useful class I have taken at JMU. He is one of the most inspirational and motivating speakers I have ever had. He is also very funny and makes class enjoyable. I am already using what I learned in his class at my job.

MAY is the MAN!! He is so so so funny and keeps the class interesting. He is such a great teacher also and really tries to help students understand the material. His class isn't very hard either. TAKE HIM!!!

He is such a wonderful teacher!! I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He knows how to "dumbify" such a hard class and actually makes it interesting.

Took him for Maymester. Really funny and keeps your attention even for 3 hour classes like maymester. Keeps concepts simple and easy to understand. Knows how to teach and understands college students. Highly recommended!

Very good professor probably one of the best I've had, very good at motivating you, class is tougher than normal but if you work hard you'll get an A, looks of assignments are very important learn illustrator and indesign and you'll be guaranteed A on phase 1 and 2 as long as your writing is decent

Most important class in CIS. Dr. May makes SAD interesting but will murder you if you don't think deeply and if you write poorly. Our group spent 15 hours on Phase 1 and still received a D. Test2 is a beast. I feel this is one the best classes I have ever taken at JMU but is also the most time consuming. Don't take this class with 484!

TAKE HIM. You won't regret it. Funniest hour of my day.

Take Him. He's helpful and funny. Definitely recommended. Three tests and weekly quiz. Hw is helpful for your quiz and tests. Treat it seriously!

One of the tougher profs for 204.If you want to work and learn, take him. Very funny and interesting and discusses stuff helpful to your life. Looking for an easy class...stay away.

Dr. May is a pretty good professor. He is a very funny guy with crazy stories that goes off topic of the lecture, but he knows his material and will make you work to get the grade you want. I recommend him, but be prepared to teach yourself a lot of the class bc he makes you learn the material on your own

Loved May. His style really brings the best out his students. He finds ways to make you want to solve problems. If you are lazy, this class will be your worst nightmare. If you like to solve problems, May is the man!

Great class with a great prof. Definitely hard but worth it if your into logic and problem solving. He prepares you for 484. If you can't handle the class maybe you should switch to something more your speed.

Dr. May's teaching style doesn't suit everyone. What it does suit is Junior and Senior level students who are expected to graduate ready to work, self-teach, and use logic and intelligence to solve problems. He gives the technical basics, and expects students to learn by doing. He's friendly and eccentric and keeps class interesting. Will be tough.

His personality is a lot to get used to but he really is a great guy. The work load is tough, but he grades based on if it runs and works. There are so many assignments that they really help your grade. Assignments build off of each other so don't fall behind. 2 tests. They aren't awful but make sure you study!

He will make you laugh and cry...feel good and feel stupid..and he will work you to death. In the end great class with great professor. But trust me..it will be tough and I'm glad it's almost over!

Mandatory class for CIS majors. This class will consume both your conscious life and your sleep. Excellent boot camp to sharpen your thinking and problem-solving skills. Class provides some students with insight and direction for exiting the CIS field. Listen to directions.

I don't normally write reviews for teachers, but I felt compelled to for Professor May. He changed my whole perspective on learning and every freshman should be required to take his class. He pushes you to truly understand the material and gain the skill of thinking, which is incredibly overlooked in today's education system. Take him.

Great professor, class was SUPER TOUGH

The tag says it all about him. The class is really hard. You will learn or fail the class.

Dr. May is a great professor. Freshmen probably aren't able to appreciate his value to the college experience, but juniors and seniors can definitely benefit from his teaching style. He teaches you how to think, as opposed to reiterating information. Definitely one of the best professors I have had in my college career so far.

Professor May is easily one of my favorite teachers at JMU. He seems to really enjoy being in a classroom and helping students. He loves people who participate in class and always brings up interesting discussion. The tests were pretty difficult but I loved the class. I highly recommend taking one of his courses if you can.

If you can take May, do it. He is a great teacher and is very funny. He likes to get personal with the students, which makes the class more fun. He's completely honest about the class and the course material. He gives you the info, based on what you need to know. The tests aren't about memorization, they're about applying what you know. Recommended

May was an interesting guy to say the least. He really likes to get personal with his students and he LOVES to embarrass people in front of the class. Typically, at the end of the week he randomly selects someone's name and you have to answer a question thoroughly showing understanding of the topic or he'll put you on blast. He's very clear though.

Prof. May is honestly the best professor I have come across at JMU. He gives great lectures, there is rarely a dull moment in class. Test are tough, but multiple choice so not too bad. He challenges you and pushes you harder than other professors would, but it's worth it. If he could teach all of my classes at JMU I would be completely fine.

He teaches you the material very well and is an excellent professor. Stats is hard for most to understand but he spends most of class reviewing and answering questions. He is a sarcastic and funny so class is fun! He isn't an easy A, but all my friends in the "easier" classes don't know any material while I have an B+ and know the what is going on.

Dr May was my favorite professor. He taught me how to think differently. If you are a good student who wants to learn something in college you should take him. Otherwise, listen to the rest of these posts and find someone else who will hand you a grade. He's fun, entertaining and was never rude in office hours.

I took Dr. May last semester and found his class hard. This semester I am taking 291 and am very glad Dr. May taught me to think for myself when solving problems rather than memorizing. I was shocked at first by his way of solving problems but am quickly realizing that thinking for yourself is extremely useful. Great prof!

Some of these 454 comments obviously come from angry students who probably got fired from their group because they did nothing. Bottom line: Dr. May is tough but fair and will hold slackers accountable. His class discussions are the reason I got a great job. 454 is insanely helpful for your career and Dr. May is passionate about your success

Best professor I've had at JMU so far. The vibe he gave off during the semester was "you've gotta lose to know how to win". He teaches you a different way of thinking, and likes when his students mess up because he gets to help and talk us through problems, which I could tell he was passionate about. Funny and enthusiastic. 10/10 recommend.

This class is a lot of work. Get ready. Jeff is hard on his students but he's a really good professor. And he's very fair.

May REALLY makes you work for an A. But if you can learn to embrace the discussion-based way he runs class and be willing to prepare for class, you will get a lot out of it! Definitely one of my best Business professors.

May is funny but a lot of times condescending when you ask questions which can be discouraging, but if you get past that then you'll be fine. Few tests that are difficult but its ALWAYS on material he talks about in lectures. Take good in-class notes and study those and you'll get an A. Very fair and allows you to argue points back on tests.

I LOVE DR MAY!!! my most favorite class at JMU. Work hard and your grade will be good. Best prof. at JMU by far that I have had

He's really funny and entertaining. His tests are pretty easy and come straight from what he talks about in class. The biggest problem with this class was the group projects. They took up a ton of time and were graded pretty harshly. He also assigned the hardest part of the project two weeks before finals week. Always made is hard to plan ahead.

Dr. May is a great professor, your grade in class is heavily dependent on tests, which are VERY easy if you prepare correctly. Everything he puts on tests he discusses clearly in class lecture, so show up. If you show up and listen closely to lectures, you will get an A. Very little to no homework.

You will either love him, or hate him. Hes very arrogant, patronizing, and condescending. I personally found him hilarious. If youre straight with him, hell be straight with you. Hes not out to trick you on exams. Study the powerpoints religiously. He pulls some questions from the back of the textbook so do those problems for practice.

May is an interesting dude. Hes got a crude sense of humor, some may like it and others not. Hell often tell you to go google your questions on SQL. Hes not brushing you off, but he wants to you to go and try to find the answer on your own before giving you his. You learn on your own a lot. Also going to office hours definitely pays off.

Dr. May does a good job at making the material mostly easy to understand (his PowerPoints are all you really need). You have to be able to think logically. If you follow his weekly checklists, you should be okay. He may sound demeaning, but that's just him trying to point out flaws in your logic so you can think about the content in a better way.

May was a hilarious professor who made lectures enjoyable. 191 is difficult but May taught it in a way that was clear and manageable. I did good on the first and third exam but really poor on the second exam so make sure to have consistent study habits. Participate in class and he will help you out if you need a grade boost at the end.

Dr. May may seem to get bad reviews, but the course material is genuinely very difficult to learn, and teach. You will do a lot of the learning on your own time, but bring lots of questions to lectures, thats the basis. His humor can definitely be aggressive, but he truly has his students best in mind. You really got to wanna learn to succeed.

Professor May was an exceptional professor. He truly cares about his students success. Do the pre-work for class, and be ready to address any questions you have with him during lecture. His personality makes lectures go by fast, and not a task to attend. A decent amount of work, but he is always available for students, and willing to help.

COB 191 was a difficult class for many, but not because of Professor May, just the subject material. He explained the material clearly, gave lots of chances for practice, and (lightly) curved many of the tests. He really wants his students to succeed, and loves when people ask questions. Would take again!

I hated this professor, he was absolutely unreasonable, with terrible garding, which in most cases did not make sense, if you ever take this professor..... goodluck.

Professor May is a good choice. 191 is hard overall but he makes it bearable. Homework has to look good to get a good grade but if you go to office hours he's willing to help you out with it. He has a required textbook but we never used it so rent it instead of buying. 20% of the class grade is HW but he gives great feedback so it's easy to improve

I have never had a professor like Dr. May. He graded all of our homework assignments and got the results back super quick with detailed feedback and was always available outside of class. His lectures were very fun to attend. Just ask "Honey." Very caring for those who care but he is not a good choice for students who don't want to work and learn.

I don't really like many professors but Dr. May is the best. He always engages the class so you won't get bored. The homework is optional but very helpful and there are weekly quizzes that aren't hard. If you're thinking I'm just a nerd, I'm very much not, the class is relatively easy if you just show up to class, pay attention, and do the homework

He is really funny, but you do NEED to go to lectures. He will answer any question you have but makes you kind of talk through questions a lot. His homework isn't bad at all and it's a very set schedule that is easy to follow. Honestly, pirate the textbook because you only need it for the first few chapters.

COB 191 is a difficult course but Dr. May is very helpful with good test reviews in the form of homework and quizzes and a lot of office hours. Although the tests are very difficult there is usually a good curve and all the information you need can be found in the slides he posts. Dr. May always keeps the class very interesting too!

Dr. May is a very funny professor and tries his best to make class as interesting as possible. The class is hard especially if you haven't taken stats in high school but as long as you go to class and get help if you need to its definitely manageable. Highly recommend taking him for 191 over anyone else.

I thought Doctor May was a great professor. This is a tough class and you will spend hours writing, analyzing, and rewriting code. May comes off strong but he is very approachable during office hours and has good patience. If he gigs you for not understanding something, do not take it personally, in the end he wants his students to succeed.

Dr. May was an amazing proffesor. He is a very funny person and was super engaging. In addition he motivated people to do better and is very inspiring. Homeworks took a bit but they helped you understand the material and tests are easy if you pay attention and study and do what your supposed to do.

COB191 is a hard class, not a class you should skip. Def speak up in class and engage. Go to his office hours for help. He cares about his students and wants to help them succeed. He is out of pocket and full of energy. Great way to wake during an 8am. Pay attention in class, do the homework, and quizzes. Test are really hard. He is truly inspiring

Class set up: an online (out of class) quiz for each chapter, given a 100 if over a 50, homework (either do all and get grade or do not do any but 20% rolls into the first 3 exams), time consuming but very helpful, 3 exams and a final( like homework and examples given in class) will curve! BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! He's such a character and so awesome!

GO to lecture. Ya he goes over slides but its because nobody does beforehand. Be prepared before each class. HW is only graded harshly because his TA follows a strict rubric. If you read the rubric u will understand. He talks a lot but u can call him out. Office hours get chaotic so talk to the students that go. Dont buy the textbook. Curves r good

you won't survive in this class if you don't show up, or are just a slacker in general. you MUST read the textbook/do the homework before class or you'll be completely lost. he doesn't teach anything in class, but he does go over the homework, which is helpful if you're caught up. funny guy, gets on tangents often. heavily encourage office hours

you don't survive in the class if you don't show up or are just a slacker in general. you MUST read the textbook and notes/do the homework before class, or you'll be lost the whole time. he doesn't teach in class, just goes over stuff, so you pretty much have to teach yourself everything. funny dude. always available during office hours too.

COB191 with Professor May is challenging but rewarding. He makes the material engaging, even at 8 AM. The workload is heavy, but going to class, doing homework, and using resources like Unstuck AI can really help you succeed. Definitely take this class with him if you can.

Dr. May is a great professor. The class is difficult but if you go to office hours and show up to class he makes sure that you understand the material. His office hours are amazing and he'll help you with the homework. As long as you put in the effort you'll do good in his class.

Dr. May is so willing to help students outside of class. If you understand the material then you will do well on the tests. Completion of the homework and participating and going to class is essential.

Dr. May is so willing to help his students outside of class. If you understand the material you will do well on exams. Doing the homework and participating in class is essential.

Jeff May really cares about each and every students success in his class. Although the class is challenging, he provides all the resources needed to succeed. If you put in the work on homework and paying attention during lectures you will succeed in class. Is amazing in office hours and believes there is no such thing as a dumb question,+ hes funny

i would take him again and again i love him and his class. cob 191 without a doubt is hard however he truly knows how to set you up for success. lots of homework but worth it if you want to pass. pay attention he gives out freebies for tests in class everything he does is with a purpose - tests are hard to make the final easier

Dr. May is a nice guy with a fun attitude, but his material and class can be dull. But he gives test hints in class, so attend! Tests and final grades are generously curved. His homework grader can be annoying with the grades, but if you message him, he often gives points back. Material is self-learnable, and he supports his students to succeed.

Very nice guy and not too difficult content. He very much wants his students to pass and get an A. He provides generous curves and more than enough help for anyone to get an A. If you want an A and put in effort, he will help you along and I would be surprised if you didn't end up with the A.

He has been my favorite professor at JMU so far he is super caring and nice. The best part of the class is his story's and interaction with students. You get what you put into this class.

By far one of the hardest classes, I've taken. BUT, Jeff May is a great professor. He will always go the extra mile for his students to ensure they achieve their goals. An A is very manageable if you put in the work. He gives out generous curves on exams, gives out hints and answers, and will do your homework with you during office hours.

Jeff May's 191 class was admittingly extremely difficult, but he is a hilarious and engaging professor who makes the class a little more bearable. That being said, he is definitely not for everyone as he will not pull his punches when he feels like his students are not putting in a lot of effort.

Going to class is vital for succeeding in this class. Ask questions and go to office hours if you're confused. This is a tough course, but Dr. May cares and wants to see his students succeed. He's funny and creates extreme examples to help his students learn the content.

Dr. May is my favorite professor at JMU, he keeps class entertaining with humor and interaction. His exams are very hard but if you put in the work, you can genuinely enjoy it. He also curves and even sometimes drops exams. Highly Recommend!

definitely a difficult class and you have to put the work in. Attendence is not important but crucial for knowing what is going on. The homework is a lot but prepares you for the tests, which can be difficult. At the end of the year he curves a lot so as long as you try you will get at least a B but you have to put effort into it. Hard but doable!!

Great professor!! This is a difficult class, but he wants you to succeed. I bombed the first test but I did really really well on the second test, so he dropped the first. Love his lectures so much. He is a little out of pocket, but that just means he is keeping you on your toes. I can't recommend him enough.

Very exam heavy course, allows a "cheat sheet" on all exams and does like to entertain the class, go to class because he frequently will say that a question he is doing in the lecture will be exactly the same on the exam, he also gives a curve to anyone that comes to class for their exams. So just go to class and you should be fine

Class is not madatory, however, if you don't come to class, you will fail. His lectures are always entertaining and he typically provides hints for how to do well on his exams. Most importantly, the man truly cares about his students if you care about learning anything.

Hard professor and hard class for 191. Curves Generously. Funniest professor i've ever had.

I really enjoyed this class, one of the funniest professors I've ever had. However if you want to succeed you have to be ready to work, getting a good grade depends on you putting in the work outside of class but as long as you stay on track this is not a hard class. He curves exams and I would highly recommend if you're willing to work.

Get Jeff May if you want to actually understand what you are doing. He is hilarious, articulate, and keeps you very engaged. The class is hard but if you actually try he makes it very doable. Go to class, he literally gives away homework and test answers. You will learn the material.

Dr.May is very funny and overall very good person. But his class was extremely hard. He loves the students that engaged and doesn't like the ones who don't. lowk fade

Dr.May was my best teacher this year. He's funny and makes the material easy to understand. The beginning is hard because you're learning new material while simultaneously learning how to use Excel to complete the homework. One day he lectures on the material next, and the next you go over test/quiz/hw questions. Ask questions.

Dr. May is one of the best professors I have ever taken. I had him 8am Tu/Th this semester and he's the only reason I didn't skip class. Cob191 is a hard class. Period. But Dr. May was hilarious and made this class enjoyable, his grades are exam heavy and the homeworks can take a while but are very helpful for preparing for exams. Take him or else.

Dr. May is very funny and makes class fly by while still being informative. Gives great advice on how to succeed just listen to him. Cheat sheet on the exams. Chapter quizzes every ~1.5 weeks. He makes it easy to do well. People who complain about him did not put in effort lol.

COB 191 was my favorite class this semester. He has weekly take home quizzes that are open note and if you get above a 50% on them you get a 100%. Attendance won't affect your grade directly but if you don't show up you're cooking yourself. Homeworks take time but are helpful. You get a cheat sheet on all tests and the final. He curves all tests.
