Jan is a boss! Although it may be hard to understand him the first two weeks of class, you get used to his accent and it's not a problem. He is very intelligent and lectures are always interesting. He has a great sense of humor and the only downside of the class is that there is a lot of reading. I would definitely recommend his class.

Very intelligent, but very hard to understand what he is saying. Hours of reading notes due in section. Must do all of the readings if you want to get about a B on the tests. Just make sure to talk a lot in section and maybe go to your TA's office hours.

He seems very knowledgeable in the field, and he picked relevant (though perhaps excessive) articles for our reader, but lectures were a struggle with his thick Dutch accent... He didn't know how to make a powerpoint, so lectures were presented in bullet-point Word documents, except without the bullet points, and sometimes with tables/charts.
