Comment:
I loved this guy. Yes, he's condescending at times but if you had the level of understanding of actuarial mathematics as he does (ASA, FSA I think), you're gonna come off as that too. His help sessions were off-the-wall helpful and if it looked like you didn't know what you were doing but tried hard, he never made fun of you.

most frustrating professor ever. was rude and disrespectful to his students. did not teach for the full 90 minutes of the course. did not teach material from the syllabus...gave our class a surprise project that was not on the course outline distributed at the beginning of the semester.

Comment:
Whether you consider Jacques to be an effective or ineffective prof really depends on your style of learning. For the people who can deal with a prof who gets through the material quickly but sounds like he knows what he's talking about, Jacques is a decent prof. If you prefer to really slow down in order to think about it, choose another section.

I hate this man. He doesn't explain anything clearly and he brags about how smart he is. Steer clear.

Comment:
Prof is very disencouraging. Just because some of us are not in acturual science he tells us to get out. Also stated only 4 people in the whole class would be in the profession. The others would fail. How helpful is this guy.. hmm... his stuff aint easy either. First class, all the material goes over your head

Doesn't explain concepts very clearly. Lots of examples but they can be quite hard to follow and understand.

He is kinda fast, but he gets the point across. Does lots of helpful examples, and if you really pay attention in his class you shouldn't have any trouble on the exams. I enjoyed his sense of humor and he has some pretty interesting jokes to tell ya. Overall I'd recommend him.

This guy has a strange... very Canadian accent. He kind of comes across as goofy at first, but he teaches well. I enjoyed it.

Great prof. Does lots of quality examples, relevant to homework and exams. Goes extremely fast though, but that means we get out early too. Spent the last week on review for the final exam, which was very good.
