If you need to take chemistry DO NOT take it at UT. YOU WILL FAIL. I was in Jackman's office hours EVERYDAY and still had to end up withdrawing from the course. There are 4 test and the final is a statewide final. The ACS to be exact. There is no extra credit and he doesn't care to help you pass. He will claim to care but really doesn't! Good Luck

Tests are easy all you have to do is study and you will do fine. little homework, no extra credit but amazing study material. I had an A until the final which brought me down to a B otherwise. Very difficult to fail his class

Prof Jackman is the literal goat. One hw assignment every chapter, and it is super helpful and practice problems just like the notes. He writes every process out very meticulously so that you'll always understand during lecture. His tests arent bad, you just have to study. The study sheets are your key to success in chem 2. Always do them & ur good

Lectures are incredibly boring but he's extremely helpful during office hours. Study assignments will be your best friend when studying for exams. No need to buy the book. Wasted my money first semester and never even opened it. Only grades in Blackboard the whole semester were exams. One homework assignment per chapter. No quizzes.

If you're bad at chemistry, he's your guy. Overall not my favorite but you can definitely reach him outside of class and he is more than willing to help you. You print out his practice questions but have to take your own notes. Tests are similar to his practice questions and he uploads study sheets which help a lot.

Absolutely love Dr. Jackman, he made it clear with his expectations of everyone. He works through each type of problem that will be on each exam. I enjoyed going to class each day, and his lectures kept me interested the entire time. The lecture isn't mandatory but do go! The textbook isn't required but is recommended. The online platform not used.

Dr. Jackman is one of the best professors I've had. He cares about his students and will do anything for them to succeed. If you want to do good in the class you will have to put the work in so you do good on the exams since the grade book is made up of five exams and around 8 homework sheets. I can not recommend him enough to people take him!!!

Dr. Jackman is by far the best chem professor. His class can be difficult if you don't apply yourself, but if you do the study sheets for each chapter, you will be fine. He is also very available and helpful during office hours. I could spend hours just talking to him in his office. Highly recommend if you are willing to put in the effort.

Dr. Jackman is an extremely good chem professor who challenges you, but also is willing to help you if you just ask. His office hours are very helpful as he is super approachable. There are 5 exams (including the final) all weighted the same and you can drop your lowest exam score. If you have to take chem definitely take him!

Dr. Jackman is THE MAN for chem lectures. If you're worried that you can't do chemistry but its required for your degree, TAKE HIM. He is so clear in his explanations and lectures. He teaches you a process for solving chemistry problems, and you can master it with his practice problems. Show up to class and apply yourself and you will do great.

Dr Jackman is my overall favorite professor at UT. he is the most helpful professor I have ever had in any course ever.He takes his time to get to know each student if you reach out for help. He is always in his office for office hours, and takes his own time to help on weekends before exams. I cannot say enough good things. He made me love chem!

Dr. Jackman is by far the best professor I've ever had at UT. He explains chem in a way that is very easy to understand. I promise if you go to class and pay attention it's so easy. Attendance isn't mandatory, he gives homework for every chapter that must be turned in in person. He's always available to help any student that needs it.

Great professor. He makes everything easy to understand, breaks down tough concepts, and is super helpful during office hours. Dr. Jackman is really personable and makes lectures interesting. He really makes Chem 2 easy. Exams are mostly multiple choice and make up pretty much all of your grade. Weekly homework that takes around an hour. Take him.

TAKE DR.J! I took him for both chem 1 and 2 and got an A and then an AB! He's so helpful in office hours and genuinely cares about his students. He gives a study sheet and practice problems before every exam and there's one homework sheet per chapter. He teaches old-school style which everyone seems to like and makes chemistry easy to understand.

I definitely recommend taking Professor Jackman for chemistry if you can!! There are 4 exams, a final, and homework for each chapter. He also puts out study sheets online to help prepare for exams, which are not difficult at all if you follow along with the lecture notes and pay attention. He always has plenty of office hours to reach him.

He is by far one of the best professors I have taken this far in all of my college academics. If you want to learn but not sweat over if you are going to pass or not this is the professor to take. He is fair, and very well respected by the students. Listen to the lectures and do the practice problems. You will be fine as long as you do the work.

Dr. Jackman is THE BEST chemistry professor here at UT. He makes every lecture digestible and provides many examples to help you complete work. I know many people say chemistry is hard, but Dr. Jackman made it understandable. He is very nice and I cannot recommend him enough! I wish he taught other science classes!

He was great! The class was difficult but manageable if you just put effort in. He taught the material in a way that was easier for his students to understand. He is very much accessible out of class and goes above and beyond to help his students. if you do his study guides then you'll do good on the tests. Couldn't recommend him more!

I think he's very funny and a diva. He's a good teacher however I don't think he provides enough material for us to learn. Also, ur grade is based only on exams. Like 5% of ur grade is homework. The rest of ur grade is just based on exams which I don't really like. I prefer a broader grading system.

Dr. Jackman is my favorite professor at UT hands down. He cares about all of his students a lot. He has an open door policy so if he's in his office you can go and ask questions at any time. Class is based on 4 exams and final at the end. But it you do well on the four exams you'll be fine. Homework occasionally but counts for very little.TAKE HIM!
