Reviews of professor Jessica Abbott

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Her quizzes are very frustrating. You have 10 minutes for 10 questions, and you aren't allowed to skip or come back to one. She gives no clarification on what material to take special note of, so I wasted time studying things that seemed important but were never mentioned again. Positives are I can tell she knows her stuff and is easy to contact.

Overall Professor Abbott is a really good teacher. I will not lie though her class is tough. You will not have too many assignments in the grade book and the exams make up a good chunk of your grade. Sometimes their will be opportunities for extra credit. YOU MUST STUDY. Sometimes the answers to the study guide are hidden in the textbook so READ.

Professor Abbott was not one of my favorite professors. While I enjoyed her personality and who she was as a person, I did not like her as a professor. Class consists of her reading directly off powerpoints and tests are nothing like what her "study guides" are. You are graded mostly off of three 25 question tests. Bad test grade  bad class grade.

Ultimately had to read the whole book, but assignments were relatively easy and I liked watching the videos we were tasked to watch and discuss. Do the assignments ON TIME. She will not accept any late assignments so my advice is to print out the syllabus and know when the assignments are due and do them.

She's a very nice and funny lady, and I loved her class. She teaches mainly using slides, but a lot of stuff is in the textbook, which I personally thought it was very technical and hard to understand. Her tests are very hard, but the assignments and the final paper are easy.

Had Dr. Abbott for both CJ 3300 and 4790 and a couple of online classes. I dont understand how anyone says anything bad about her. Do your work, go to her away from the class for help (a must IMO) and youll do well. Cares and helps if you show as interest and dont just try to cruise. Not an easy A but the work left me feeling satisfied.

Her tests are based off of the textbook but she skips around in the chapters so it is hard to know what to study. She lectures by powerpoint every single class period.

There are 5 discussion boards and 5 quizzes that alternate every week. The discussion boards consist of questions that relate to videos needed to watch. There are 3 exams that all have 25 questions with a time limit of 30 minutes and are worth 100 points. She offered 5 points extra credit twice this semester. The textbook was very helpful.
