I cut some stems off of a jasmine plant and put them in s vase of water
to root. Is this going to work or do I have a bunch of sticks in a pot
of water?

You might want to try dipping the stems in rooting hormone (available at any
garden center) first. I scrap off the top layer of skin (cells), dip
liberally into the rooting hormone, and then very loosely wrap it with wet
paper towel. I then would place the stem into a mud of dirt and water. You
want to keep the stem wet and provide it with nutrients at the same time.
Good luck...
