Comment:
You gotta take Larry Jacobs for Def Bods, even if its an 8 am slot. Your grade is primarily 10 quizzes, one of which is dropped, and an optional final. He provides tens of previous quizzes so you always know exactly what to prepare for. Because of this, however, he grades harshly for small errors and doesn't give the best feedback.

He is one of the best professors I have had so far at Tech. His lectures are clear and he is very caring for all students (he probably knows most of his students' names too). Most grades this semester were from 10 quizzes (1 drop) and an optional final. Make sure to practice his old exams and you will be prepared to do well in his class.

Dr. Jacobs is the best. 10 quizzes (drop 1) and they are easy and predictable (he has practice test). He is a tough grader, but overall the material is very easy until quiz 9. The class isn't heavy at all. I did 18 credits and COE 3001 with him is the least stressful. He is hilarious and caring. Do HW and get 20/20 each quiz.

Comment:
Dr. Jacobs is funny and caring. His notes can get kind of messy, but he's very approachable if you have questions about anything. Exams are very manageable, and he releases LOTS of old exams to study from. Also, he was very understanding about the transition to online and really tried to make things easy on his students. A kinda odd but great guy.

Comment:
Had him for COE 3001. He is a very smart man with good industry experience. His lecturer style can be sloppy but he is always happy to clarify if you ask. He had an energetic personality even at 8 am. Grading was 3 exams, HW's, and a final which he exempted some students from. Tests are very similar to his old exams which he provided as practice.

A wonderful professor. Go to the review sessions! It clears things up. And do lots and lots and lots of practice with old exams. He is very helpful and very clear about what you'll be expected to know. If you have an A by the final you'll be exempt from it too, so try to get that!

Comment:
Lectures are done on the board & his notes get VERY messy by the end of lecture. His redeeming quality is that he holds weekly review sessions. However, if you get lost in class, and can't make it to a review session you're in trouble. Not particularly helpful during office hours. Also a plus, he posts all of his old tests online for extra study.

Seriously, Jacobs is a fantastic professor. He definitely lives up to the hype and I HIGHLY recommend taking him if you have the chance. I hate 8AMs as much as the next person, but Jacobs makes it worth it. He's super energetic, has review sessions every Wednesday, and will tell you what's on the test in class. Also, he loves the word "rhombus."

Great professor but underestimating the material will earn you a bad grade so go to class and do the HW

EXCELLENT professor! He's so energetic, even at 8am, that it makes you want to learn the material. It's obvious how much he cares about his students and how much he wants us to learn and appreciate the material as much as he does. Seriously, take him if you have the opportunity! (also...he has a final exam exemption option if you have an A)

Definitely lives up to his hype. This man is a god among engineering professors. Makes an effort to learn your name and actually cares about how you do. He explains material very well and made all lectures fun and engaging. I wish he would teach all the engineering courses at Tech. Definitely one of the best teachers I've ever had.

Amazing teacher. Learns everyone's name. Teaches hard concepts well. Keeps lecture so interesting that attendance is very high even for an 8am 1.5 class. Take his class if you have the chance.
