Timothy Jacobsen JOUR370 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/22/2024	I really liked professor Jacobsen this semester! He is def a tough grader, but I found his feedback useful, and if you put in effort on every assignment you should still end with an A. Assignments were just a photo project every week, so nothing was a surprise. I also found the assignments really fun, personally. You get a TON of time to work on the final project and portfolio, so just make sure to work on it throughout the semester. I do think he could have done a better job teaching those who don't know how to use a DSLR or editing software, but he does go over it in class as well. If you're willing to put in the work, and have an eye for photography, I would definitely recommend this class!

Timothy Jacobsen JOUR370 Anonymous 05/03/2021	Prof. Jacobsen is a hard grader. It seems like he expects us to know how to shoot photos perfectly before we enter the class and grades us based off it. His grading method is not very transparent but you do learn a lot through his comments on ELMS. He's a very nice guy but drones on and on in class about irrelevant things.
