Reviews of professor Kathy Jensen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Jensen is one of the most caring professors I've had! The entire class is based on HW assignments, two midterms, and a final. She allows redoes for all HW and drops the lowest exam grade. She's also very accessible outside class as she has both in-person and online office hours. She truly cares for your success in her class!

Professor Jensen is very kind and open to questions during or outside class hours. Like some have stated, she is a bit disorganized and will make some basic mistakes during lectures, but will quickly fix them. You are assigned a reading and program(s) each week, so it is easy to stress if you fall behind. Otherwise use office hours if needed and GL

Don't do it. Don't plan on having a life for the next semester if you take this course. Terribly organized class. She assigned 30% of the book content in the last day alone along with a pop final. Her midterms are dysfunctional and so is everything about her class. Overall terrible. I pity you if you end up with her.

Messiest teacher I've had. The Canvas page was updated as we went along and her homework posting was extremely inconsistent. She only gave 2 assignments the first half of the semester and stressed everyone out with 4 assignments in the last 24 hours of the term. Very unpredictable teacher and stressful class; so many more things I can't fit here

Professor Jensen was very nice and gave very good feedback during office hours! Unfortunately, her class was very unorganized thanks to the short summer semester and online teaching complications, leading to messed up pacing. I highly recommend going to office hours as she is very helpful with homework and concepts that are hard to understand.

Get ready to teach yourself. In lecture, she will go over a 20 minute example problem and at the end of it, she will say "oops there is a mistake" and she will expect you to stay after class to correct it. This happens at least once a week. She assigns hw AFTER the final, who does that?

The most disorganized class Ive ever taken. Lectures were very confusing and professor makes constant mistakes during lecture problems. Midterms and finals were extremely messy, no details until a couple hours before they were assigned, and we even got a surprise second part of our final.

Mrs. Jensen structured the course so as to allow students to work at their own pace. Students got to collaborate with classmates which helped us understand not only the code but to meet people.
