Jason Donaldson

Worst professor I have had at WashU. Extremely disorganized, you can tell he doesn't prep for lectures since they're often off-topic, full of errors, or just plain confusing. The exams were horribly written and usually had averages 65, they barely related to content from class. Professor often was dismissive and condescending to confused students.

Take this class if you are a masochist. Seriously, take this class with other professors if you can. You learn nothing and the tests are hard.

Please take the option class with another professor. The class is too disorganized.

Donaldson is a really nice guy and in the beginning you love his personality. As the semester goes on you realize he isn't explaining anything, he just expects you to know all of the topics already. He is very disorganized. Exams are extremely difficult, tested on topics we never even spoke about. If you can take options with someone else, do it.

Professor Donaldson is a really nice guy. He loves students to ask him questions and he is very willing to answer them. However, his teaching can be very confusing. He does not teach in a very clear way. TA session is really helpful because it basically give away answers to the assignment. Exams are very DIFFICULT.
