Reviews of professor J. Ellen Gainor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof Gainor is the nicest prof ever. I took PMA 1161 (FWS) and it was really chill. Not many readings and easy essays. She is also very sweet and is extremely caring. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a FWS.

Not good, strict grader, quite rude actually. Has an lively exterior that masks this. Also drones on and on for things that could have been compactly said in a few words. Does not facilitate interesting discussion. Made what would have been an interesting class boring.

The syllabus was a little confusing, but she grades lightly. Only a few essays which aren't that hard as long as you put in a bit of effort. She has a very bright personality and makes class fun at times. A couple of field trips make the class more enjoyable. Opportunities to redo essays are helpful and she gives good feedback.

I loved Food and The Media with Professor Gainor! Such an interesting and engaging class. Gainor is also a very kind and understanding teacher.
