Reviews of professor Jaclyn Michael

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Took her for religion class and she cares for her students. there were 10 short essay reflections and can be easy or difficult depending on your efforts. 3 main assigned books and other readings are assigned as well. seminar type of class but she does give short lectures that are not long. Can get overwhelming so time management is important

The class was one of the easiest gen eds at utc. EVERY assignment is returned back to you for the option to do corrections (if you do the corrections you get a 100). Weekly homework, 3 at home quizzes, and a "project." Her lectures were great and it is obvious that she is extremely knowledgeable but she is very condescending. EASY humanities credit

Dr. Michael is very understanding. Make sure to keep up with the readings and comprehension. What students are graded on comes directly from the readings - not so much the notes. Overall, I had a good experience with her.

took this class for a gen ed and it was pretty easy. she's pretty lenient with due dates and attendance. she lets you redo quizzes and homework for a higher grade and there's only one assignment a week and it takes an hour max. would recommend her!

one of my favorite professors, she is very nice and likes discussions and questions. her class is a blessing, you can choose to do three exams or just a big project at the end of the semester. better part is that you get the grade you want, basically impossible to not get an A, unless you don't do anything. Less memorizing and more critical thinkin

Her class is heavy on lecture, reading, and group work. She takes late work which is nice, but quizzes are hard to piece together because of how much she covers in so little time. I felt that if I wrote down every word she said I would still not understand fully. She also focuses heavily on how things are offensive and it was just annoying.

She is very passionate about Islam, Gender, and equality. Her classes do involve a lot of reading so be prepared and ready to talk about it in class. She wants to hear from everyone. She asks great questions that make you think deeper on the subject. She's also been incredibly supportive during the pandemic. Don't skip the reading.

Constantly seemed on the backfoot and lacked subject matter expertise. Many classmates and I felt disliked for no other reason than being non-Religious Studies majors. She gives little feedback or outlines for what is expected and doesn't seem interested in students developing a real connection with the coursework

Professor Michael is by far one of the best professors I have had. I absolutely love the assignments that she gives. You get to choose your grade, write the necessary amount for that grade, and then you're allowed to revise. She is super helpful and incredibly understanding. I would definitely recommend taking her class!
