This guy is a jackass. Not helpful. Angry. Irritating. I couldn't stand his class. Total waste of time.

Watched all his lectures and even studied for the tests, but when it came time for the test most of the essay questions had nothing to do with political science. Your required to read 2 books, yes the questions were in the book, but they weren't relevant to the class!They where more like trick questions. Beware!!!

His class is only based on passing the tests, if you don't test well be prepared. He will give you online lectures and ask you to listen to them outside of class (they can be about and hour long :(If you want to pass the exams this is what you need to do. Go online to the Colomer book website and do the practice exams and know them...

His lectures areally never boring but he is arrogant and unwilling to help students. He HATES running start students with a passion so beware! He does not have a clear set of expectations for his homework or tests making the class ridiculously hard. He refuses to help to the point he told students that got a D (or less) on the first test to drop.

His lectures online were extremely boring and hard to connect with. He is condescending and a lot of what he teaches in class isn't even on the test. I took political science hoping to learn about our own country's policies and government, however he insists on us learning about TURKEY. Literally the country of Turkey. Like, why? I'm bitter.

Pros: Very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject. Cons: He is condescending and rude when you ask questions. You watch lectures online from 2012 which means all the examples are outdated. In class, students lead the discussion which would be fine if he created an inviting environment. I've never had such a disrespectful professor.

Very narrow-minded. on most subjects it's his thinking or you fail. If you're running start, DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS!!!

Dr. Jeske is by far the worst professor I have ever had. I have taken his 101 and 203 class because they were a graduation requirement. His class is heavily biased. He only teaches his liberal opinion and nothing else. Not only is this annoying but very unprofessional. He is also very rude and not understanding. Avoid taking him at all costs!!!!!!

He hates Republicans Independence voters. If you write your papers with logic or facts, you will get a low grade. Avoid him. Trust me.

I wrote a paper on the promotion of democracy, spent 4 hours each day for 9 days, i thought it was sufficient and well written. I included almost everything from my notes that i took down from the lecture. My score was a 58 out of 100. I am a 3.5 gpa student ive never gotten a D ever. very heavy in grading, did not like him. don't recommend.

Running Start students should definitly avoid taking Jeske's class as it's a graduation requirement. Take the class elsewhere is possible. Jeske is a ruthless grader and his lectures are very rarely relevent to his tests. He is heavily biased and lets you know it. Take caution when expressing opinon in class or on papers.

Dr. Jeske is arguably the worst teacher at YVC. I found the homework he provided to be unreasonable and on top of other class work almost impossible to get done. Also Dr. Jeske's expectations for his students is unreasonably high and its very tough to even pull a C out of the class.

I've never had a worse experience with a teacher, he is rude, disrespectful and doesn't care about the students. A girl in my class had to leave 5 MINUTES before class was let out and he said to sit her a** back down or don't come back. His assignments have nothing to do with the tests and take hours to finish. I barely had time for other classes.

Dr. Jeske says at the beginning of the class that you are the ones who earn your grade, I do not choose & pick what grades I feel your assignment/test deserves This is the exact opposite of what happened. I memorized all term & answered every Q thoroughly & I still barely got a B-,you could write exactly what another person did t a worse score

I took this class during the pandemic so it was online. I got very sick and asked if I could have assignment extensions. His response was a long excuse for why I couldn't, that ended with "If your health is compromised and you cannot keep up with the requirements of your classes you should consider withdrawing." I got a week behind and failed.

Very tough grader. I would turn in assignments on time and completely answered, but it was not enough. Not enough time to understand the material properly. I suggest taking another professor.

Awful professor, going into this class I was expecting the political part to revolve around US politics, nope its on Turkey of all places. Yells aggressively when he's upset, lecture heavy, tough grader, doesn't wait for you when it comes to understanding the material and tests have nothing to do with the study guides he gives you. DO NOT TAKE!

Worst teacher Ive ever had. Hes not understanding at all when youre sick. I was in the hospital for a few days and had to have surgery, and he told me to have an assignment done within the next few hours. Impossible. No answer I provided was good enough. I wrote entire essays for 5-10 points and it still wasnt good enough. Take ANYONE else.

Extremely liberal, and makes his class based on his beliefs. I had to work my butt off just to get the grade I did, and pretty much lied in all of my papers so it looked like I agreed with him. I can almost guarantee I would have failed if I wrote my own opinion. Good practice for future hard classes though. Avoid at all costs, take someone else.

So glad I didnt have him in person, the only good thing about this pandemic. How I got a good grade even I dont know, just read the book and watch the lectures to help out on homework. Dont take this class with other core classes, I suggest having optional classes because this class takes up a lot of time.

This class was a lot of work, this may sound lazy but trust me this class is to much for even those who like it. I would not recommend him to anyone, not even my worst enemies. Id tell someone to drop out before Id tell them to take Jeske. Everyone I know I hates the guy. No one ever takes Jeske again. STUDENTS BEWARE!

He is the WORST teacher I have ever had! I told him that someone in my family passed away and he didn´t reply until the day after the homework is due. There are no lectures and you basically have to teach yourself. He says to put your opinion but seems very bias in his answer. He doesn't even teach, you and crash course are your teachers.

I dropped the class after 1 week. I turned in one assignment and it was probably the best assignment I have ever done and yet I still received a D on it. He doesn't help and try to explain what you should do better. He tells you to just figure it out. The smartest people I know failed his class. I recommend avoiding his class.

This Professor is not understanding at all. You have an emergency, he does not take it. He wants specific answers and he won't take anything else. Such a horrible teacher, don't even try to ask for an extension because he'll give you a long excuse of why you can't have it. I spent about 5 hours-3 Days on his homework and I still got about a F!

I see that others have said similar and accurate things, but I certainly would never recommend this instructor. With it being online, I haven't had a teacher be so disconnected and removed from a class besides him. I'm not sure you can say he's "teaching" rather than providing you a self-taught learning expedition. NOT for the faint of heart.

I am an A student and this is the hardest class I have ever taken. He didn't teach at all and was not helpful. Homework assignments take a lot of time to complete and he only wants very specific answers. Exams are very hard and you only get 60 minutes to complete them. I do not recommend taking this class!!!

This guys is the worst dude ever. He is the most rude guys ever I hate his stinkin guts. He is not helpful at all he is not understanding. I dont think anyone should ever have to take a class with him ever. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING HIS CLASS!

- Really strict grader -Did not give back good feedback -Assigned hw and a quiz every 4-5 days

Taking this class felt like taking drugs, except you don't ever get high, and you get all of the side effects, including cancer. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to take this class, and anyone that says they enjoyed this class is lying. This class made me want to bash my skull into my wall. If you take this class and want an A, good luck.

Wost. Teacher. Ever. I'm a running start students and this is my second year at yvc. I've never gotten this bad of a grade my entire life and that says something. He doesn't tell you how to improve even if you got a bad grade. I didn't get a single A on any assignment in his class even after spending hours a day on his assignments

I am sure in-person classes with Dr.Jeske could be bearable but online classes are extremely difficult. He's a critical grader and if you do not amount up to his level you will not have anything higher than a B.

Hate him. From his outdated ways of teaching to his specific wants for each question he asks. He doesn't even teach nor does he give examples of what type of work he wants. Never ever take his class.

Very much homework/lecture heavy. Includes unclear questions and refuses to elaborate. Gives you only 24 hours to take a test (meaning he opens the test up at 12 am and closes it that same day) Tests a near impossible to get a good score on the test (40 multiple choice plus 1 essay within 60 minutes) Overall bad instructor, alright person though.

No help or give opportunities to improve your grade. Jeske tells you to learn from your mistakes. Spending a lot of time, trying your hardest but you never see an improvement in your grade, instead your grade drops. Jeske told me to study only in his class, (end up failing). Take this class if English is your strongest and your first language.

Professor Jeske is unrealistic, lazy, and unhelpful. Students receive minimal to no assistance.When my classmates or I attempt to seek guidance or clarification, Professor Jeske's responses often is to "refer to the syllabus." He has grown too complacent. No flexibility in late assignments, one extra credit HW it does not help your grade in any way

Only decent thing about his class was the homework release schedule. He is bad at communicating properly in regards to notifying students on certain dates and rules especially when it comes to exams. He also gave me a zero on a few of my assignments without a proper explanation as to why.

The only decent thing about his class was the homework release schedule but even then a bit more time would have been helpful. He is poor at communicating properly especially in regards to notifying and setting the rules of the exams. This professor gave me zeros on several of my assignments and did so without explanation as to why I got them!

Mans would give me awful grades on the assignments, and when I would go to him and ask, he wasn't clear on why I got the bad score, he told me to read the comments he left on the assignment which was literally just a copy and paste response. Also whenever someone would answer a question he asked the class, he would make them feel bad for answering.

He is rude and does not respect the students. Stopped the lecture when I stepped out to use the restroom, he then belittled me infront of the class when I came back. He demands students cover up their tattoos. Exams are very difficult. Yes, he really is that bad.

He had the papers due every time to be completed before 12am. For the final paper it was at 12pm but I was working full time and misread it and thus missed the final assignment. He refused to allow me to do the assignment despite never being late before. Dropped my A to a B. Lots and lots of reading and rereading for nothing.
