This is the second class I've had with Jon, and I have to say he's a great teacher. He has a lot of experience in the field and really knows his stuff. He's pretty tough, but you'll definitely learn a lot and it's definitely worth taking him.

Jon's possibly the most helpful, informative, and passionate teacher at Champlain College. He's an industry expert with a wealth of knowledge, and a knack for communicating it. Actually studying and putting effort into homework is essential if you want to pass; the class isn't easy, but while grading can be tough, it's quite fair.

Jon is a great teacher! He has a lot of knowledge in the subject, and brings it to class. He also has a lot stimulating theories and discusses them in class. Make sure to get all your work in on-time and study for his tests. The class is fun and challenging, and I would definitely recommend it.

Jon is probably the most enthusiastic, passionate, and well-respected professors at Champlain College. He is an industry professional who knows basically everything there is to know about the Digital Forensics industry. His entry-level FOR-100 class is a nice blend of hands-on, lecture, and stories that illustrate the importance of the material.

Jon is a very smart individual and does a great job at explaining the content however he expects a lot from students both inside the classroom and outside. One thing to consider before taking his class is that his quiz's and test's are usually very tough so you want to make sure that you know everything that he goes over in class.

Dude knows his stuff. Literally a Forensics wizard. Very effective teacher as well, which is super important. When he does lecture, he keeps it interesting. Tons of hands-on work, all relevant unique scenarios that mimic real-life work. No busy work at all. He's not going to hand you an A unless you bust your ass, but it's worth it, seriously.

Jon's got a lot of real world experience that he brings to class, always has a scenario he's seen that fits our class topics. Not a hard or easy grader, but if you do the work you'll do well. He's also really concerned with people learning the content and is really fair, so don't be afraid to ask for help or question something.

Jon is a very well-respected professor at Champlain, and is excellent at his job. He is a real expert in his field of Digital Forensics, and it is great that he chose to teach, as well as working as a forensic investigator. He is a rather tough professor, though. Projects and quizzes tend to be very in-depth. I highly recommend his classes.

Jon Rajewski is the most charismatic professor at Champlain College. His lectures are interesting and he always throws in some funny jokes. His homework is time consuming and relatively difficult so be sure to leave plenty of time to work on it outside of class. He's a very picky grader too so make sure you proofread and format properly.

Jon is a great teacher, though he sometimes gets lost when going into certain forensic topics as he really enjoys the field. Giving him an email he most certainly will help you out. Tough grader on homework but he lays out what he wants and if you do that its easy. He sets you up for success, you choose whether you want to or not

Jon is very passionate and knowledgeable about his area of expertise. He can convey knowledge very well, and won't bore. Most of his assignments are hands-on independent projects and require a fair amount of time (more than average) spent outside of class working on it. You'll learn a lot, but you have to put in the effort.
