I really went into this class with high hopes because I've had a couple of classes with Jon before, and I was absolutely disappointed.

Excellent. Provides ample resources for his students to succeed. He goes above and beyond to ensure students have practice on everything they will be tested on. While 50% of our grade is determined by only 2 tests, the tests were very fair and perfectly reflected our practice. Also, not having a time limit is helpful for slower workers like myself.
