R.I.P Dr. Jacob

Best professor I have ever met in UCSB. Took the class as a BA upper-div requirement but Bill's lecture was so brilliant and critical that I am obsessed by education after taking his class. Class material is interesting and the class is mainly occupied by group projects and presentations, so go to the class and get an easy passing grade.

This was the worst math professor I've ever had. His lectures are super confusing, there was no textbook to use for reference and the readings he put online were just as confusing. He just kinda yells in class and is generally unapproachable. Syllabus was super vague, homework problems took hours and were much different than lecture.

Truly amazing professor! He design some of the most interesting courses (4BI) and he's really experienced in solving problems. He gave us some interesting problems in CCS classes and asked us to model! Really enjoy the process.

Really amazing teacher. Lectures are detailed and fun, class was very enjoyable to attend. Homework and tests had a good difficulty, not too difficult, not too easy. Take this professor, one of the best at this school so far.

Taking math 8 with jacobs is the best choice. truly captivates the entire class.
