Reviews of professor Jeslin Hancock

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She was amazing and caring. I was struggling with personal things and fell behind with the research proposal, but she was kind and understanding. She is very accessible through email and meeting times. You can tell she wants her students to succeed. Would recommend her to a friend!

The class is not difficult, but her lectures were impossible to sit through. Presentation of material matters and she did not care about that at all. The class was long, in the evening, in a hot room, and she is quiet as a mouse. Her slides were literally black and white and straight from the text. Very nice and easy grader, but not engaging.

very understanding professor, easy to reach about any questions you may have. Realized certain things weren't working for the class as a whole and changed course on quizzes near the end but it was in the best interest to help students complete their research proposals. Attendance isn't graded but is needed to fully understand the material.

Amazing, kind, passionate teacher! No midterm or final! Just weekly quizzes that are easy if you take VERY detailed notes. There is a research paper due at the end. It requires a lot of dense reading, but you pick the topic. Paper is hard, but the rest of the class is amazing. Idk if the textbook is mandatory, but not needed if you take good notes

Jeslin cares about her students. She wants everyone to succeed. She provides plenty of extra credit opportunities for those who do and do not attend the live lectures. She records her lectures for students. Note-taking or some other way of retaining information is a MUST in this course. Her quizzes are original and based on the lectures.

Very patient. I like that I can ask her any question I want without her jumping onto a soap box and talking to me like I am a child. Easy grader, you just have to do the work. She is still developing her teaching style and is a new teacher who has 10+ years of experience in Autism research and is not old enough to have more than a few in teaching.

Jeslin truly sets her students up to succeed. She uses original PowerPoint presentations, videos, and documentaries, and records her lectures. I highly encourage taking notes in this class as they help with quiz success. She allows for lots of extra credit in all three of her courses. She has great communication and listens to feedback.

Professor Hancock is the best professor I've met at PSU. She loves to teach, very accepting of different opinions, and gives amazing lectures. You don't have to do a lot of reading, but you definitely want to attend or watch recordings of her lectures if you want to do well.
