Fall semester haven't even ended yet but TAKE HIM. Already registered for his environmental class next semester. Love his style of teaching and the way how he does his materials. Show up to the zoom meeting & every material is already covered for the exam. Super nice & understanding of people situation that he would give us time to submit our exam.

His teachings in this class is definitely an eye opener. What I enjoyed about his class is that he's very open to reading and listening to your opinions. It's a class where you can speak your mind on the topics we're discussing. If you write about what you learned in class, or put down your own opinions into the writing exams, it will be an easy A

He is very calm, cool, knows his materials, persuasive and intelligent. He provokes students to think, never gets mad and always knows what is been asked. Explains, guides and leads well. Clarifies and critiques respectfully. His assignments are very straight forward and balanced. His terms are very much relevant and real.

Hands down my favorite teacher. I am awful at math and he made logic so easy to understand and fun!! It ended up being my favorite class solely because of him. HIGHLY recommend taking one of his classes. Such an incredible person and again, the best teacher hands down.

Amazing professor. I suck at math but professor Jensen made this easy. I did fall behind (which is complete ALL my fault) I initially fell behind because I didn't understand some of the things. He was so helpful and understanding. ADVICE JOIN HIS LECTURES don't be scared like me, he is very helpful and goes over HW questions. He is very patient.

I'm honestly sad that this class is about to end. Professor Jensen put together a really fun syllabus, and all he cares about is that you understand the material and share your opinion. I took online synchronous, and the only homework was reading, a zoom meeting twice a week, and 3 exams consisting of multiple choice and 3 essay questions.

I took professor Jensen for Ethics half in person than online. BEST TEACHER YOU COULD GET HAVE IN BOTH CASES. His in-person classes are straightforward and EASY. Sometimes at the end of his lecture, we would take a mini quiz on what we discussed but nothing too hard. His online class is the exact same. Only 3 exams total. EASYIEST A!

Dr. Jensen is one of the best teachers I have ever had! Global Justice, Peace and Conflict was my second class that I took with him and I enjoyed both classes so much. He is always open to different perspectives and opinions, while making his classroom a safe space for everyone. I could not recommend Dr. Jensen's classes enough!!

Professor Jensen clearly explains the reading materials in his lecture notes. His lectures are thorough and understandable, and it is best that you write your lecture notes so that when it comes to exam time you are not scrambling to find the answers for the questions given. Overall, this class was GREAT and Professor Jensen is approachable.

Honestly one the best professors I have had in this college. As long as you do your readings(which don't take very long)and pay attention to the lectures, the exams are fairly easy. The exams have to do with your own opinions on the topics that are mentioned so (personally) it was fun. He's also very funny which makes the class extra interesting

Jensen is one of the most passionate professors I've had. He truly cares about what he teaches and those he's teaching. I took PHIL 1020 and 1200 with him, and in both classes, there were 3 open note tests for which he prepares you well. He is amazing and I would recommend him even if his classes aren't needed just to learn more about the world.

Prof Jensen is super chill and makes this ethics class a breeze. With open-book exams, straightforward assignments, and helpful lectures, it's an easy A. I used unstuckstudy along with the textbook for study prep and aced it.

U can definitely tell this guy is deeply passionate about the subject he teaches! Hes always down to answer any questions and provide examples to simplify concepts. Be sure to show up to each class bc stuff he talks about in his lectures, that might not be covered in the readings, may be on the exams. There are pop quizzes here and there but no hw!

Dr. Jensen is a respectable professor and is extremely passionate about his teaching. He challenges students about their moral values/beliefs and will create arguments/counterarguments. I like to believe that this class can help you connect more with yourself as a human being- otherwise, your assigned reading is HW, and three BIG exams.
