I think JB's methods are excellent! I think all lecturers should video their lectures and include the most up to date information and an attempt at trend analysis. I think the insights offered in our lectures are priceless.

Too many people have become too accustomed to being spoon fed "information" that is often out of date, I cant understand why some people would prefer to repeat fact than have original, creative thoughts.

Most exams are just dull memory tests, in the real world the facts are often at your disposal, the real challenges come from applying the knowledge!

I think he was just a hater...
JB helped me understanding how web works, how people are making money and where all this is going. I hate lectures, when you tell me go to a lecture and listen to the same think again and again I can not, but JB is different, there is not lecture, we have a conversation, every lecture is different, even I.t toolbox that I had on the 1st year is different (because the web is changing). In the first year a lot of people ued to come to uni because of his lecture. He is amazing. One of my best teachers of all time. Keep the good work. The only disadvantage is: is hard to impress him.

Just to comment, I respect JB’s teaching methods as I believe it’s the right way to become a professional. I did not know anything about web developing although I have done it in the past!, but now I have my website and I am able to develop a site to any of my friends and help them with regards to everything. I ask the question “Do you still want to be in college sitting down and a teacher tells you to click next etc?

Really, people please....Jonathan's approach to teaching is one of the Best if not the Best I have seen since I started school, all the way to College and now University.People just want everything on a plate and already half digested for them so they do not have any work to do. This is not the way anyone will ever learn. I don't know why anyone would say that Jonathan does not know how to teach because, guess what no other teacher puts their lecture online so that students can review it if they did not understand a certain point, also because of that some don't even come to the lecture because they can go online and pick it up. Another thing, there are people that are not doing this module and still are learning this module, they will not get a certificate for learning this module but they definately will be learning about this module as it is online and anyone can learn this module, and by the way they did not pay for it. Why should someone be complaining, all people love to do really is complain, if someone is conservetive, they are too old fashioned, if they are bit more inovative (and by the way we are in the 21st century in case someone forgot about that), then they are to modern and should be more old fashioned, please people get a grip and try to see that Jonathan's approach is execellent. Jonathan's lecture is the one I look forward to every week.

On the matter that Jonathan is dificult to please, I dont think it is a problem of difficult to please but rather a matter of him wanting people to do good in their work and get a decent job after graduation and for that reason he pushes people hard. I am finding my final year project difficult to grasp because everything I want to do, either is not good enough and Jonathan said its not good enough, or maybe like my last idea, he helped me and suggested I could even open a business with my idea, I spent hours researching and found that it would be good to open a business in that area cuz it is overcrowded, but still am I complaining? No. Am I finding it difficult? Most definately yes. But also I fought hard to make sure I could get Jonathan to be my supervisor and the reason for that was because I like his approach to teaching and also because he helps people to get the best out of them and makes them work harder, hence his students from past years coming back to thank him and are doing good as well. That should give you a clue. Yes no one is perfect, because we are not God to be perfect on God is perfect. All Im saying is Jonathan has a great approach to teaching, I like the way he teaches and also how he helps people and makes them work hard.

P.S: Jonathan could you contact me on my email that I put here on the comment so that I could discuss with you about the final year project as I seem to be finding a few difficulties here and there and would need your help and anfortunately the PID will have to be in soon. Thanks for your time and thanks for the help and teaching.

I choose E-commerce module simply because JB is teaching it. 2 Two years ago Toolbox went really well and 100% sure that this module will do too! I am loving it. JB all the way (hehe)

I think the teaching method is great. Iv had some really bad teachers that just sit and talk rubbish and you dont learn nothing after two hours. The lectures can sometimes get a bit boring but the thing i like about it is that you learn yourself. You complete the tasks by yourself in your own time and they dont take too long but you learn something even if you dont want to follow the e commerce root in the future. As for criticism i think that 1% for each activity is a bit silly. I enjoyed jbs module in the first year so i hope the exam does not end up being disappointing. Anyhow so far so good. This module seems to be ok compared to the other modules so far this year. I think its a bit harsh to say jb cares just about his business. His company is making alot of money and jb is taking time to teach us what he has learnt. If he just cared about his business i dont think he would be teaching. You can see he has a good passion for teaching and is there to help you if you need. Any way hope everyone is working hard tc all.

i thought, we are students so Uni will appoint a teacher who teach the way of talk, teacher mean the person who has full of knowledge, anyone won't have right to target your teaching style because we are white as clean paper.
