Reviews of professor Jenna Loyd

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had friends who took this class with others professors and had it be super easy. However, when talking about what I have to deal with this semester they are shocked. Super boring lectures,confusing quizzes which all basically include a 3page essay. Gives no slides and talks a mile a minute so you cant keep up. DO NOT TAKE unless you want to write

The lectures were boring and unnecessary. Majority of the stuff in lecture is not related to graded assessments, but attendance (mandatory) is still counted against you in your grade. The required readings and quizzes were not helpful at all either. Most of this class was just useless, busy work. Take a different Comm B class, trust me.

A lot of what other people have said is true. The lectures are painfully boring and there is a ton of work for this class. The material could be easier to grasp, but I believe that Dr.Loyd makes it even more confusing, as her slides are all over the place.

The course itself has interesting concepts, unfortunately, the quizzes are unnecessarily difficult. All the quizzes felt very subjective in grading, especially the short answer questions which there is one per quiz worth 25 points of the quiz. Graders often nitpick very minute details on these. The essays were not that bad, however.

This is a very lecture-heavy class, but she does NOT upload lecture slides, which you need for the information on the quizzes. Additionally, she has a very difficult time connecting her points together in lecture, which makes it hard to sit through and listen.

Professor Loyd clearly cares, but is easily the least engaging professor I've ever had. The assigned readings were unnecessarily long and dry and I usually spent class time doing other work. What was important to pass this class was attending discussion and coming prepared for it. The content is extremely interesting but the presentation is not.

Very unprepared, wasted class time, did not give adequate notice of assignment changes, was never clear on assignment requirements, does not upload slides on canvas, uses jargon above the level of introductory, pretty boring to listen to overall

One of my favorite professors, very kind and passionate about the topic. I was very interesting in the topic, but her lectures could get too detailed/boring. Pretty easy grader and the projects/essay were original and fun to work on.
