I got bad GPA from his class 2 times. I don't like him at all!!!!!!

Tom Jackson does not respond to emails, voicemails or questions. You are taking a course with no feedback and virtually no assistance. He is not prepared to teach an online course at this time.

no me gusta

this guy is a hard ass and very strict on attendance.the test is hard becuz he dont put material the he assign to study. bad PE! do take this class Oh!did I forget too say BAD teacher? BAd bad bad! teacher

WARNING: "THERE'S NO CELLPHONE IN THIS CLASS" OR ELSE...

I don't understand why the school actually hired this obtuse individual, He's obviously very cunning to implement 3 tests in which he scores based on the final grade, interesting Tom, you happen grade solely on the tests and give no credit for physical activity that students participate in, take it from me don't waste your time in this class

This a class that you have to study very hard for the test part of the class. But his test was really hard and though I study the things he wanted me to read in the book and what he went over in class, he always threw curve balls of subjects in the test that was never explain in neither subject matter. Also he big on attendance so show up ready.

Grading isn't clear, tests are almost straight from the book.

Took PE 103 (online) from him. He didn't give his contact information until halfway through the fourth week (it was not on his syllabus). The few emails that I sent to him were either never replied to, or replied to after lengthy periods (7+ days). Many of the questions used for the chapter tests were logically flawed and rife with misspellings.

I have seen a lot and this teacher is not a good teacher, and not a good person in general. plz, take my word, or your going to have a bad quarter. nothing more to say, hes just really bad at what he does and has no respect for students.

Half of the things he taught us in the lecture room weren't even on the tests. Don't take his class. You'll regret it

Be prepared to take this class more than once if you are not ready to digest the book and take notes and ask questions - he won't volunteer information. This instructor is not helpful at all. Need to know your grade? Just ask yourself, because he won't tell you.

Worst Teacher Ever!!!!!! he was never clear on what was going to be on the test. Loves to go off Topic and his lectures very unnecessary. The test are hard and I would study so much for his class and still get around a 70% for each test. AVOID IF POSSIBLE

Jackson is a very bad PE teacher would not recommend!! Take any other PE class but his!! There are 4 tests throughout the quarter and you need to get an average of 85% for a 4.0 . This may seem good but don't be fooled it is hard to even get above an 80% on each test. His lectures are mainly off topic. Textbook is needed. You can only miss 3 days.

He is one of the worst professor ever. Class is so hard and only test scores are going to determine your total grade. Np extra credit, and never reply students email. try to avoid this one if you are looking for a short cut and wanna keep your grade.

Come on time dressed to workout, no tank tops, very little to no help from the prof, the first test is based on book only, not his very poor lectures. Read carefully between the lines, test barely asks for any useful definitions. Test is not fair. Questions are not based on what you think you need to remember and apply in your own weigh-training.

This guy treated me like a child. I'm 25 and a college sophomore, have had more than 5 jobs in my life, with few bosses as unreasonable as him. I've made a really tough effort to do well in this class and no encouragement from him, just a bunch of bullying and harassment. Currently dropping out(at the end of quarter!) Wish I could use profanity.

Worst professor in my whole life. If I do my best preparing his test, I could not get good score. In his lecture, he never use white board. He just said something by reading textbook though his test is based on his useless lecture.

The tests don't relate to the book and you're not given enough time to complete them. He seriously messed up my grade. There are no "in-between" GPAs - it's basically 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. He doesn't respond quickly and has bad communication skills. Avoid this online PE course at all costs. You'd think it'd be easy, but no. Run far away little bunnies.

Hardest PE class I've ever taken, hated the class so much, we had to READ A BOOK FOR PE. Would not recommend the class to a friend.

The worst professor i've had at green river so far. He tests out of the book instead of his own lectures so even if you show up to the lecture you won't learn anything useful. The tests were super difficult and you pretty much had to memorize the book to pass them.

I cried over this class several times throughout the quarter. At the beginning of the quarter after a long chain of emails he refused to clearly lay out how i would be graded. He simply said that if he thought i was cheating he would lower my score. It was an online class and he would take weeks to reply to emails. Worst. Class. Ever.

Jackson is quite frankly archaic in his teaching methods while demands respect. He spends too much time complaining and getting personal. Lectures are too long and easily get off topic which overall makes it difficult to get work done. Jackson is irritated with debate; as his arrogance makes it difficult to learn any factual truth about fitness.

I am warning you!! Do not take his class for God's sake!! I had to take noncredit for his class because I do not want PE class to affect my GPA. I studied in the book, took note and listen to his long and nonrelative lecture. But I could not pass either. If you want to have a good GPA, Do not take his class!!

Just dont take his class if you want to have easy pe class.

In lectures, on major topics he says certain information, while the book states different info. In class, a student told him this and his response was he "knows what the textbook says, I'm giving the real answers". On exams, they are more in depth than my intro biology and chemistry courses... Whatever you do avoid taking this class.

I had never taken a 3 credit class with so much reading. I highly recommend this class to those who does not want ANY physical work! Also, 25 min test for 35 questions? That seems a bit above average for a PE class. Mr. Jackson can be nice, but he really needs to focus more on availability and communication with his students and what they need.

Jackson has been one of the most difficult professors I've ever taken, and in the worst possible way. I'd easily have a 4.0 in this class if he tested on his own life, he never gives a straight answer on how we'll be graded, when we will be graded, and how we are doing in the class. He should be a high school teacher, not a college professor.

He wants you to memorize specific number instead of focusing on your overall understanding of the book. His exam is very sloppy, some of the answers do not match his lecture or the online exercise that came with the book. My best advice is dont listen to his lecture an dont believe the answer in the online exercise without verifying with the book.

Rudest teacher. Three tests are your only grade for the class and if you dont memorize word for word of the chapter youll fail. No amount of studying will get you a 3.0+ Not in shape? He will yell at you while you workout! Show up 1 min late? He will tell you to leave. Death in the family & cant come to class? He doesnt care, F for the day.

Your whole grade is based on three 35 question exams, each covering a different chapter in a book. So just really read the book. He gives lectures which are a little helpful, but there is no other information he provides to help you learn outside of that. if there is any way for you to take another professor I recommend you do so.

Extremely rude and arrogant, especially to international students Lectures are off topic and irrelevant Skip more than 6 classes, you are dropped out Only 4 tests (never covered in lectures) to determine your grade Worst instructor I have ever had in GRC

Tom is the worst professor I have had. His tests are extremely hard, and there are no study guides. He is very uncaring and unprofessional. His lectures are nothing like what is in the book. Avoid him if you can!

Mr. Jackson should find a new profession. He obviously doesnt care for his job. His online tests are ridiculous. 35 questions in 25 minutes; impossible. He is the worst professor at communicating. Never responds to student questions & concerns. Also, dont forget your workout totals. If you dont add them up, he wont either, Then youll fail

WORST PROFESSOR EVER. I emailed him about a quiz that i missed by ONE DAY and did not respond until I emailed him AGAIN 2 weeks later where the blame was placed on my shoulders for missing one assignment. Never take this class unless you want to deal with arrogance and rudeness

He clearly doesn't care about his job. His tests are unbelievable, 35 questions in 25 mins. His syllabus is very unclear and does not communicate AT ALL! Especially during covid, ugh no consideration for students and their grades. Steer clear of this class unless you want to be in the dark for the quarter and barely pass a PE class.

The total grade based on 4 tests and a few graded assignments. 10 exercise logs that took a lot of time, not part of the grade. No lectures or any instruction. I read the chapters, took notes, but the questions on the tests were out of nowhere. 25 minutes to answer 35 ambiguous questions. Awful class and will tank your GPA. Waste of time.

The book was required but even with pages of notes I still failed one of his tests. At the end of it all he gave the entire class the wrong grade and made it very difficult to contact him and get it fixed. I had to email the dean of students in order to get the correct grade. It was an unnecessary amount of work for a 2 credit P.E class.

Tom jackson is my no. 1 opp. Made me cry multiple times and contemplate ending it all. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

Tom Jackson is just the worst teacher I have ever had. He doesn't seem to care about his job. He is using an outdated syllabus and doesn't even bother changing due dates from previous quarters, so you had a missing grade dragging down your grade. Also never responded to emails for an ONLINE class. Hardest 103 class ever, tests are near impossible.

Be aware that if you take any of his classes, you will not pass. He does not care about students and there is no communication at all.His syllabus is inaccurate; he copies and pastes materials from other quarters without updating the dates.The grading is a joke all of the weight is placed on only a few assignments. He will not reply to you emails.
