Nice guy, but LOTS of memorizations in his classes. Very picky about marking lexicon definition. Helpful in most other ways.

yes the guy is obsessed w/ this lexicon definitions....BUT....tells you EXACTLY the questions, like word for word, are on the midterm and final...where can you go wrong? if u're pro at memorizing...u'll get a good mark..guaranteed

Ditto on last comment. Made a crummy course interesting. This is a pure effort class...if you do not succeed then you can conclude that you are a slacker! Take this course with Dr. Jackson if you have a choice. I learned alot that i know will be valuable

In his class,the textbook is useless,becoz he has his own definition on everything,and even created new terms and concepts to teach us.So sometimes i don't know if the things i learnt from him is right or not.The lexicon are so wordy & hard to memorize

The man is picky about his lexicon but the fact that he gives out the questions of his exams beforehand makes up for that. I found him to be helpful, funny and informative.

He is just great! He is very very clear about what he would expect from you on the midterm and final. His notes are very important. IF you pay attention to his lecture and take accurate notes, you get high marks.

Great prof. Easygoing. Very clear on what will be on the 2 midterms and what he expects to see if you want high marks. Key to success in his class: Attend ALL his lectures, take good notes and memorize (& understand) the lexicon definitions. No textbook necessary.

great prof, he is always there and wants to help his students understand the material. He tells you exactly what you have to know for the tests. He actually made the class sort of interesting but it is tough material so I would take it with him so you have a chance of understanding it.

If there was an award for the BEST PROFESSOR it would go to JEREMY. His passion for teaching creates a learning atmosphere unlike any other I have experienced. Jeremy also posseses attributes such as intelligence, sense of humour and a down to earth attitude. He must be good cuz... I am using this bizarre and often biased method of rating him....A+

His lectures are essential if you want to do well. Tests are open WRITTEN notes, and tells you what (some of) the long Qs are on tests, and you can even let him chk it b4 the test! Lectures are really interesting, gives you personal experiences, or how to put what you learned in class into your daily lives....*thumbs up* RECOMMENDED

our exams were open notes, if u take lots of notes, and read the book you'll do fine, hes a nice guy and very interested in his feild. i dont really like the group project...but i guess its better than a paper by urself...good prof, relates the material to your life...interesting class, would take him again in a heartbeat!

awesome teacher. i guess he got in trouble a while back for making ppl memorize everything but he totally changed. he had open note test and stuff but he made class so interesting that u wanted to study even if u didnt have to. its obvious that he loves teaching, so it really makes you want to come to class. soooooooo interesting

Good instructor, lots of passion for what he teaches, very knowledgeable, weird test format (definitions can be copied directly from notes), intense guy, explains things very well. Recommended!

he is very passionate about teaching, always will make time outside of class (even if its an hour) to help you. very understanding but if you miss a class make sure you get the notes because exams are open notes and sometimes he gives you his own definitions. very unique teaching style that made me like psyc even more

One of my favorite teachers because you can tell he is really excited about what he is teaching. As soon as you figure out what he wants on tests (which he is clear about but it takes some people a test or 2 to figure out) then you'll do fine (if you don't mind memorizing terms. which i didn't find to be the end of the world.

very helpful, likes students, he tells u what will be on exams so don't miss class

very helpful, very understanding, and always will explain things over and over if needed until you understand... you have to go to class though if you want an A because a lot of the test material is from his notes!!

No Comments

Even though I took a course with him a few semesters back, but I felt the need to give me comments anyways: HE IS A WONDERFUL PROF. Even though at first, he sounds very strict and scary, but if you just listen to what he says and try to follow his instructions, you could easily end up with an A+ in the course. He is very understanding and helpful!

I think he is one of the best instructor ever. psycho analysis is one of the hardest courses that so many students fail, but if u want to get A+ in it, take it with him. I'm not kidding u won't regret. the only problem is u should not miss any of his lecture and don't hesitate to ask questions in his office hours.

Brilliant man, easy marker. Prefers class discussion over straight lecture. Actually ended up being one of my all time favorite classes. Literally tells you the exam questions, and all open notes tests.

JJ is an awesome Prof. I took all the classes I could with him. He's very passionate about what he teaches, if you show interest in the subject & make an effort it will pay off, as he rewards improvement. His lectures are invaluable, as are his classes. He is by far the best prof I've had & he's had a huge impact on my school career in psych!

he's cute. i love his class. as long as you do all the readings/note taking you're supposed to do, and go to every class (and take notes on everything) u'll do well. tests are all open book but are hard. Really smart guy, knows his stuff, passionate about what he does. Awesome!

I find that copying notes is not an effective learning method and that is what he encourages with his open book tests. Take this class if you just want a good grade and/or are REALLY excited about the material. If you're not all that facinated with philosophy -- skip it!

Jeremy is an awesome teacher who really cares about his students and psychology. You really have to try hard in his class to do well, so if your an ESL student or not very passionate about psychology, his class is kind of difficult at times. Other than that, hes a great teacher with a good sense of humor.

It wasn't History of Psyc class but Philosophy of Psyc. Very frustrating: he forces his opinion on you. Happy not to have him anymore.

I found his course interesting. He really challenges you to think about psychology. Sometimes he sounded like he was arguing against psychology but I think he was just trying to makes us think.

An AWESOME prof. One of the best instructors I have had. He'll make you think critically and he is soooo passionate. Makes it easy to get interested.

His classes are really interesting. Nice guy too.

I don't know what everyone's issue with Jeremy is. I really enjoyed his class and having him as a teacher. His lectures are interesting, he's pretty funny, he gives you the test questions ahead of time THEN actually spends a portion of the class telling you EXACTLY what he's looking for with regards to the test answers. What's to dislike?

He is so passionate about what he teaches. He is so persuasive that everytime I hear the term Mental Illness now, I cringe (you'll know what I mean if you take Psyc1200 with him). JJ is very helpful, very organized (he will laugh at this when he sees this, I'm talking about test outlines), and very clear. I got an A in his class. Highly recommended

Jeremy's really interesting-- and like many have said, he makes you think a lot about what we take for granted in psychology. That being said, he comes across as quite arrogant, as if his beliefs are the RIGHT beliefs.

Just fantastic and extremely insightful.

If you're the kind of student that likes to just memorize definitions and not argue or understand really interesting stuff about Psyc/Science/Philosophy and be challenged on anything this prof is not for you. If you enjoy really intelligent debate that helps you understand various perspectives you'll do well with this prof. Highly recommended.

I don't know why people give this Prof a bad mark!? He was a great teacher, simple and you knew EXACTLY what was going to be on the exams...ALL of his tests are OPEN NOTES! I don't see how you can do badly!? Take notes on his lectures, read the text, you'll do fine!

Did his online class. For a intro stats course online he made it really easy and was very clear. He was super helpful and answered questions promptly. I got a really good impression from him.

He is such an amazing professor!! He is super smart in his field and he has so much passion toward his field. He is also super nice person. Very Very helpful. Multiple choice questions is easy because he always post online practice quiz and written question is easy because we can bring 1 page paper that we can write written question answer.

This was the online version of stats, and Jeremy was awesome! He posts videos in addition to the lectures, which are very handy to help you understand things. The assignment (done in multiple parts) was challenging, but not frustratingly so. He encourages questions and answers promptly.

Best Prof I had I douglas college. He made Stats and Research Methods and history of psych interesting. All of his Exams are open book and he will help you get the grade you want.

Fairly easy to get through if you go to class and pay attention. The final paper is also easy, as he tells you in class what you should be putting into it.

I was afraid of this class before I took it (just as I was with Stats), and put it off as long as I could. But Jeremy made it interesting! If you take his other courses (Stats and History of Psyc) there's a lot of overlap, which helps immensely! The research project/paper seems overwhelming, but is also fun to do - just get a good concept!

Jackson represents the post-Wittgensteinian camp of measurement scientists (Slaney Maruan et al) in psychology which continue to set straight how psychology works in the real world. Students who want to continue to believe they know everything about PSYC will not like Jackson's course (See whiners). JJ Shews the fly out of the bottle and then some

Jeremy is a great instructor. His exams are easy and he helps the class to be as ready for the exams as possible. His personality contributes to a enjoyable class. I went into the class dreading to hear about "history" and when I left I was impressed. He makes everything interesting.

Jeremy is a great teacher and I recommend to take this course with him. He genuinely cares about his class and has good humor. He does a lot to prepare you for his exams, as in give you answers for the written part of it. If you fail this class, you either didn't go or shouldn't be in college. Recommend him for any course!

hands down, the best professor I had by far. very helpful and passionate to his subject,try to make fun on this boring subject. love to spend extra time to help you if you really study.for sure, his class is not for slackers, heavy load of work but fun to do. the only thing bother me is the group project, especially some lazy partners involved.

Best teacher ever. His lectures are so clear and he knows what he's talking about. I don't understand how people have anything bad to say about him. BEST TEACHER and would definitely take him again.

Basically he is amazing

Best math/statistics teacher I have ever had. Lets you have a cheat sheet. Great person, good personality.

amazing prof! Attendance is mandatory. There was no final, Jeremy has been the most helpful professor I've ever had at Douglas. His classes were never boring, textbook was not needed at all because the notes were extremely helpful. I thought stats would be such a dreadful course, however I was wrong. Would take again in a heartbeat.

Took this class online he was extremely responsive to emails and helped me out alot. Class isnt particularly easy, I took it because I found psych 1100 easy but he is extremely clear and good at explanations so I think I will do fairly well.

Amazing Prof. He values education and encourages students to be a life-long learner. When he teaches he is clear & percise. He loves what he teaches and knows what he is teaching about. He is always available if you need help and never hesitate to ask him any questions. He is one of my favourite prof. who deeply cares about his students.

He knows how to teach.

Overall, Jeremy's a great guy. He's a bit full of himself, but he loves stats and will teach you everything you need to know. Ask questions if you are confused, he is eager to help. Almost the entire grade is based on exams, but the tests are fair and you'll know everything you need to provided you have been in lectures.

I took this class online and Jackson was so available over email and posted detailed videos describing the course work, he made the class content so understandable and great. I would take him again in a heartbeat.

He is really great guy, but he is teaching a subject that is not so fun. He does his best to make sure that you understand what is going on and is very gracious when it comes to his tests. It is a hard course, but I wouldn't do it with any other teacher... he is the best one for this course.

THE BEST. I havent taken a math course in 4 years and was super nervous but he made this course so simple and easy to understand. Posts all essay questions b4 test, will mark them for you b4 test and give feedback, allows cheat sheets, gives bonus marks, encourages questions, is available outside class. Bumps mark up to an A if you do well on final

I really enjoyed this class, it was fairly easy to comprehend what was being learnt and he made sure evryone understood what was going on. His notes were clear, just make sure you take notes in class. Every exam you get to bring in a cheat sheet, which makes it more bearable. Overall, for someone who hates stats, I really enjyoed this class!!!!!!!!

Best professor. Very reasonable and knowledgeable. He deeply cares about his students and values learning. Go to his office hours and ask him questions! You won't regret it. You will learn a lot more from him than what you've expected. Two thumbs up!

Stronger emphasis on teaching his students to have deeper understanding vs technical knowledge

One of the best professors I've had in my entire degree! Extremely helpful, and really invested in what he teaches you. Will spend hours explaining something to you until you actually understand it! Make use of office hours, he's a gold mine of information. The stuff I've learnt from him still comes useful Teaches you the reality behind issues!

As someone who has failed Math their whole life, I cannot believe I got a B+. Jeremy made me love stats, teaching with emphasis on understanding and theory behind numbers rather than just rote learning formulas! Extremely easy to do well in this class if you put in the work and LISTEN IN CLASS. Literally gives you answers to questions!

Jeremy is a great teacher. I loved taking his class because it was so easy. 4 quizes and he lets you bring in a paper full of answers on it to write the quiz. I needed the textbook because I am new at stats but most people could get by without it.

couldn't have asked for a better teacher, I had soo much anxiety about taking stats, but he made me enjoy class and appreciate what I was taking he is simply wonderful!

I cannot say enough in praise of Jeremy. I have never had a professor be so involved with their subject matter, with the success of their students, and with the future of their discipline. His lectures are interesting, his questions are challenging, and his teaching method is carefully planned and organized well. I wish all professors were like him

Dr. Jackson has developed an intriguing and engaging way of teaching something that is notoriously dry. He wants us to succeed, so he tells everyone at the beginning of the term how to succeed. He spells it out for you. He can't study for you or be you, but he's given all the tips to do well. Utilize his office hour, you won't regret it. Good luck

Dr. Jacson is one of the most inspirational, intelligent, caring profs I've ever had. He knows statistics inside and out and teaches it wonderfully. People who are saying he's too tough clearly expected to get through this class doing the bare minimum. Put in the work and show him you care and he will help you succeed in more ways than one.

I found Jeremy not so easy to understand. I took 2 classes w/ him prior to this class so I was familiar w/ his method. You should practice his lecture materials and watch all the videos weakly to do good. No feedback for why you lost mark in your assignments. He is a caring prof, but I wish this class had 2 separate sections for regular & honors.

I've had Dr. Jackson before, and I don't think I've ever encountered a prof as passionate and caring as he is. If you struggle with anything (since this is a difficult stats course), he is always ready and willing to help. The short answers to his exams can be difficult to write, but if you try your best and ask him for advice, you should be fine.

I took stats online with him. He was very approachable. He uploads videos for each lecture and I strongly recommend watching them at least twice! Textbook is not required and you only have to study his videos to succeed. He gives essay questions ahead of time and offers to read them and give feedback. You really need to study but i mean its stats!

He is an amazing professor. He gives examples in class for his short answer questions that u can use. Highly recommend watching his videos as they are short and straight to the point. He also uses real life scenarios to make sense of course material. Easy to understand, caring, and considerate. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Jackson is a really great prof! I struggle a lot with math and he was able to explain it and relate it to real life situations in a way that made it much easier for me. The only downside was that he had no lecture slides so on the odd occasion I missed class, it made things much harder.

Coming from a student now in her masters, he totally prepares you like a grad student would think. Sure, it hurts your brain a lot but it is so rewarding. His lessons turned into life lessons and he is so willing to help, further your thinking skills if youre willing to work for it. Gotta be tough though. No wussies allowed.

The professor is nice and the lectures are easy to learn.

I took him for PSYC2300 in Jan 2024 and he was awesome. Class wasn't mandatory but he was informative regarding learning objectives and his online videos were clear and understandable. I was able to learn a lot just by watching his videos multiple times and attending lectures. I finished the class feeling happy with the learning experience.

Had him for 1200 and he was very organized and had very interesting topics for discussion posts!
