If you put in the effort then you'll get a good grade. Class time is pretty much an open discussion of the readings so participation really matters. Dr. Jones is very caring and helpful.

He knows what he's doing. He tries to keep the lectures interesting. He's an intelligent professor and makes everything clear. He connects everything together and is willing to help make your writing better. If you make an effort, you'll get an A.

Comment:
I've never had Jones for classes so I can't assess his abilities as a teacher, but as an advisor he's truly no help. He makes it so clear that he doesnt want to be an advisor and his main priorities lie with his english classes, not with helping you succeed. I don't have enough characters left to explain what he does, but just dont expect his help.

Dr. Jones was a great professor, very fair but also challenging. Anyone looking for a great first experience in a rhetoric class that will actually make you use your brain should take his class. He also runs the Honors department for the School of Arts & Science and is very helpful in that capacity. All in all, great class that was worth the work!

Yeah Jones is hard. He really only it does it though to teach you what you need to know. He is clear about what he wants and the discussions and readings(he gives them to you) in class make you think. He is strict about coming into class on time/not using your phone but is understanding so just show him respect, talk to him a lot and try your best.

Comment:
Anyone who doesn't like Professor Jones is probably a poor writer, or just lazy. Yes...he is verbose, but that's hardly a reason not to take a class. He is supportive, understanding, and makes you try your best. If you want an easy A, this professor is not for you, but if you enjoy being challenged to write at your best - give him a try.

ughhhhh i hate this man. he was very unclear in his lectures about what he wanted in our assignments, and when you met with him on a one-on-one basis and he told you what you wanted and then you did that, he marked off points saying it was all wrong!! he's a horrible teacher, don't take his clase.

Dr. Jones...sigh....He failed me. At first I was furiated with him. But then realized that it was my own fault i failed. I still hate the guy but his class was the first class i couldnt do the bare minimum. Although i might have to spend an extra semester here i have to thank him for teaching me a harsh but rightous lesson.

Comment:
is the most unfair teacher i have ever met. He tells his students that this is no longer highschool, yet he treats his students like high school students. He is a very harsh grader, and no matter how hard you try, i guarantee you won't get higher than a C. Do yourself a favor and dont take him!

Dr. Jones is a great teacher! While he definitely expects a lot of his students, he is very fair and goes the extra mile to help his students out. He's very supportive of his students and if you need to talk with him, he's very approachable. Anyone who enjoys english should definitely think about taking his classes.

Dr. Jones makes you work really hard for your grade. However, he is clear and very fair. Very easy to talk to in office hours, and will spend as much time as necessary to help you.

Dr. Jones is very unfair and does not take student's feelings into consideration. He is a very discouraging teacher who does not encourage the learning of the subject. He discourages those students that are not good writers while praising the ones who are. Do yourself a favor, dont take him!
