Reviews of professor Jessica Haines

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Unbelievable waste of time this class was. Basically a highschool class. only 30 pages of notes for the full course. Lectures are unbelievably boring because she repeats the simplest concepts 5 times. Group assignments are graded horrendously. Super easy class but get ready to be frustrated during lectures and at her in general.

She is condescending in her feedback and is very nitpicky about marking. The lectures have no notes, instead, she rattles on so you have to pause her videos every few seconds to get everything written down. No learning objectives were provided. She had unclear expectations and did not address her grading criteria and what she wanted from students.

The class is pretty straightforward, and the exams are fair. She takes a very very long time to mark things, has been over a month and a half for her to return a 2 page assignment. Went into the final without knowing 30% of grade, and still waiting ..

The easiest class to get an A. If you show up for class and pay close attention to what she says, there should not be anything on the midterms that throws you off on her midterms or final. Very helpful and easy-to-follow course as there is not much content and it is relatively straight forward.

Her lectures were mainly all online because of hybrid course. Each lecture video was like 20-30 mins long with 4 videos for each topic. We literally had to do everything on our own and watch lecture and notes. Her exams were hard and nothing to do with the lectures. Don't take. Never taking her again, worst prof I've ever had

Jess' lectures were very informative, well-structured, and nicely tied to some of her own experiences and research, which I appreciated. She lightly uses the textbook but it is not vital. Her exams were very reflective of the lecture content.
