Reviews of professor Jena Whitaker

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
It's a pretty by-the-numbers mid-level French course. Do the work and you should be okay. Whitaker's nice enough.

Very nice professor and an enjoyable class to attend. Participation is very important but makes sense for a language. Makes class interesting with group assignments and class discussions. Mindtap does have a lot of homework, but not unreasonable and very comparable to lower level French courses.

Dr. Whitaker was super sweet and I loved going to her lectures everyday. She's truly passionate about what she teaches and listens to student feedback and adapts that feedback to her class, even in an online setting.

Professor Whitaker was awesome, and her humanities class was by far the most interesting and enjoyable I've taken at MSU. You can tell she's passionate about the things she lectures about, she's always interested in conversation with everyone. So long as you attend class and participate, it's a very enjoyable class that's not too difficult.

Whitaker is awesome, but she assigns a lot of homework. She is very, very kind and will help if you need it! 340 is a lit class, so there are weekly comprehension quizzes and vocab assignments that get a little tedious. You absolutely have to read the texts! That being said, she's very passionate about the material and tries to keep it exciting.
