Mr Jenkins was seriously one of the best teachers I have ever had. I struggle with science and he helped me to understand. His lectures were so interesting and he had demonstrations to make everything more understandable. He is willing to help anyone. I reccommend him to everyone! He is an amazing teacher!

This is a very good class, boring at times but overall good. Mr. Jenkins uses a lot of great examples to help you understand the concepts. An outline of the chapters is given to help you study for the tests, also an SOS sheet (you can write whatever you want in a box given to you by Jenkins) which really comes in handy for the test. You do need to study and put in some time for the class as there is a short assignment every week and sometimes a take home lab (normally very simple). Overall, if you put in some effort you should make an A in this class. Mr. Jenkins is a very sweet man and will work with you.

Jenkins is one of my favorite teachers. He is very amusing and he makes class fun. He brings in all kinds of visual aids to demonstrate concepts. You never get out of class early because there is so much to cover. After you finish each test, the material is no longer necessary. The last test is not a cumulative test. It only covers the last subject you talk about.

Dr. J, as he likes to be called, is a wonderful professor. His class is easy. His first test is the hardest, but it isn't difficult at all. He gives more oppertunity for extra credit than any professor I've ever had. For the class, all you do is take notes from the projector and do labs, which are usually pretty interesting. He is a sweet man who will work with you on anything you need help with. He gives a few homework assignments from the book which are very easy. I would not advise buying a book for the class, I would just find out the questions from the person next to me. It's an easy class, easy grade, and easy professor.

Dr. J is a very good teacher. He explains everything so well that anyone could understand. He gives homework, but it isn't too bad. I really enjoyed his class and wouldn't hesitate taking him again. He is very willing to help you if you get stuck or don't understand something. He's pretty cool.

He is a good teacher he gives you a lot of chances to do extra credit. Can be boring at the beginning of the class because he goes over what you did in the last class. But don't miss class because he gives out homework in just about every class.He can be kind of weird at times but that just makes the class more interesting.

old man jenkins is the best, believe me.
I've never had a physics class but this guy explained it so well
I didn't even need the book.
He does assign book work but you will do it in class.
Jenkins will bring in all kinds of little experiments to keep you interested.
The class comes with a lab so it's a double whammy.
