Reviews of professor Jessica Peterson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Peterson is a great person and she always makes class fun. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you don't go you just have to do an assignment on canvas. She's a tough grader so if you're someone who needs an A on everything I wouldn't take her. The speeches are easy, you only do one in person and one over zoom, and two recorded.

She is a hard grader, but if you use the extra credit opportunities and just do the work, is seriously a super easy class. I have never had so much fun in a college class yet, everyday I was laughing, so if you need a class for a break with hard classes take this one!!!

Lot's of difficult concepts, but presented extremely clearly. Dr. Petersen has a very thorough knowledge of the subject matter.

I am a good student, but she didn't like me and found anyway to take points off. I tried to talk to her, but she takes forever to respond. The class was really easy, but even if I did all of my work and met all the criteria I would never get an A. I worked really hard to get on her good side, but nothing worked and she let it affect how she graded.

Peterson grades the speeches very hard so be ready to put in work on them. 3 speeches will be required over the semester with weekly online quizzes and a final group project. Peterson is the funniest professor I had and is extremely caring. I looked forward to this class everyday.

Professor Peterson is one of the best professors! She understands that lots of people struggle and get nervous with public speaking, but she always made sure we felt comfortable in the class. We had one in-person speech, and the rest were over Zoom. There were weekly quizzes on the textbook in Canvas. I would definitely recommend taking her!
