Reviews of professor Mary Jacobsen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Jacobsen has mixed emotions throughout student but I have had almost every semester of my years at Salem and she has pushed me to do better. The tests arent easy but the lectures help prepare you. Shes ramble sometimes but youll never feel off track unless youre not paying attention.

New class for psych majors, and was completely new so it makes sense the lack of organization. Doesn't excuse the unclear instructions, intro-lvl assignments, and high school projects. We did a career portfolio for our Final that was confusing to format and is something high schoolers do. Not 4th-year college students. Boy does she talk too much.

Bringing up Dr. Jacobsen tends to get a plethora of mixed reactions from Psych majors and non-majors alike. While I didn't have the best experience, if I had to recommend one thing going forward it would be to double-check Moodle often, in addition to your syllabus, as it can be easy to miss things that are due which have been moved or reassigned.

She lectured without giving any help regarding what she was teaching. No matter how hard I worked it was never up to par for her. I was an A student but she ruined it. 0/10

She did not know how to work moodle (which was the online classroom that the school used), she would often have wrong deadlines, and was really bad about updating moodle. She was almost impossible to reach outside of class and is horrible with responding to emails. Mostly had a class on zoom even though the class was supposed to be 50-50.
