Reviews of professor Jennifer Beshel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you want to succeed, reach out to her and youll do great. She wants you to do well and tries to give tons of extra credit. Whoever is saying the tests are impossible are just people who dont go to class... you get the final questions in advance and can ask her for help. This class is not as bad as everyone makes it seem

Beshel's lectures did not really help with the exams. Her tests pretty much come from her slides, but they're difficult because ALL of the questions are "Which one is false?" There are pre-lecture quizzes for extra credit, but answers are difficult to find. Sometimes they're not in the slide OR the book. Final is written & worth 35% of the grade.

Dr. Beshel Pros - very nice - very intelligent and passionate about what she teaches - powerpoints are pretty much all you need - exc pre class quizzes Cons - Tophat responses (graded on accuracy) 2 tests and a final are the only grades - tests are 40 q's ALL "which one of these statements are FALSE" Would recommend for psych/neuro majors ONLY

Where do I start? Were online and she prerecords everything, she never lectures on zoom, gives no extra credit and no matter how hard you study, you still somehow tank. Ive read the book, the PowerPoints, watched the lectures, took notes , studied, and still nothing. Idk why she changed from how she taught before but I will never take her again.

Tests are usually made up of previous tophat questions and preclass quizzes. Do the preclass quizzes, you can usually google the answers! Very funny and passionate about what she teaches. You don't need the textbook. Tophat is graded on accuracy but you can work with others. She made class very fun.
