Reviews of professor Ruth Jacobsen

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Beware: not for those who like everything to go as planned. Professor is highly unorganized, often late to class, forgetful, and difficult to get in touch with. Best 2/3 on exams get counted toward final grade. Assignments are all one point each, so turn them all in.

She is very unclear ab reflection assignments. Only chance to fix grade is by office hours and even scores can still go down. Class discussed issues and concerns and she blamed the class for our grades bc we aren't discussing our feelings enough. When confronted with class issues she became unprofessional and defensive. Try to take someone else.

The textbook readings are very long and she does not give much time for the amount of reading you have to do. However her lectures were very informative and fun I got to know my classmates very well even though this was an online class. She creates a comfortable and open space with great discussions and interactions! I definitely would take again!

Class is based on discussions where you talk about your own spirituality. You gain a higher competency of others, & you learn more about yourself. Weekly Journals, 2 papers, no midterm/final. Takes a long time to grade things, not a problem since assignments are based on your own reflection/opinion. Very caring and inspirational professor.
