The only reason I got an A was because of his generous bonus participation, but wished the class was more hands-on. Half of the course was basically an in-depth version of bstat, and started to become test-based in the second half of the semester. His final exam was poorly designed--which he even admitted is why he curved so generously. I came to every class and stayed engaged, but the last exam was impossible for me and for that reason I would recommend taking it with another professor. It was only 15% of our grade, but I know other teachers have this class more hands-on and less test-based. He wanted his students to do well which is why the curve for the final was an exception, but if he made the exams as simple as the quizzes I would've felt better about my ability in the class, given that this is marketing and not just statistics. |

Don’t take him lmao. unless you want him to get mad at your for asking for help and asking questions in class. You’re better off taking any other professor or any other class for that matter. Our average final exam grade before a curve was about a 40%. (it was open note too.) Passive aggressive when you need help, doesn’t explain things well in class, and makes this course impossible when everyone who takes it with someone else gets an easy A. |

I would definitely recommend this professor to others, he prepares you very well for every exam and provides exercise sets in class that aren't graded but help you prepare. He also provides a lot of opportunities for extra credit and genuinely cares about your understanding. He uses Piazza so you can ask questions anonymously and he gets back super fast. He sometimes lectures fast but I never thought that it got in the way of my understanding. It's very similar to BSTAT if you are good with that. |

Professor Jacobs is a great lecturer. He is slow, explains things well, is always willing to answer questions, and takes time to help his students. He cares about his students learning. This course does not offer many points opportunities, which can make the quizzes stressful, but he prepares you well for the quizzes. |

Do not take this class with Bruno Jacobs. This might as well be a statistics course. He goes over the material extremely fast and does not go in depth or take the time to properly explain anything. Grades are based on quizzes throughout the semester that are basically impossible to get a good grade on due to the time limit as well as the difficult content. He is a harsh grader on team projects and only offers negative feedback. I have friends who are taking the same class with different professors and are doing far better than I though possible in this class. He opts to use SPSS when there are other applications out there that are 10x easier to use and understand. |

Professor Jacobs is a good man. But not the best teacher. His lectures tend to drag on and he doesn't make things very interesting. As a junior, this honestly has to have been one of the most boring marketing classes I've ever taken. There certainly could've been ways for him to get us more involved, walk through practice problems with us, or simply just spice things up, but nope. A very black and white course. |
