Reviews of professor Jennifer Roy

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Pay no mind to the review below this one, as she completely changed the course. Attendance is required and you are placed into random groups to do projects with. Lectures weren't the best use of time if you didn't watch the videos online beforehand. Tests are tough, but open note. 2 projects hit you hard at the end of the year, so get a head start.

She's caring and extended deadlines for us, but this course is has a heavy workload. She'll grade you more for effort on weekly written assignments, which is nice. I hated reading tax code (which is why I'm amazed some people are asying this was easy) and really strained myself during the big group project at the end of the year.

Most of homework quizzes and exams on Chegg. 6 exams, drop the lowest(every 2 weeks but little content and online). Also, prof is nice. Watch the videos before class or you look dumb. Most of exams are from problems in class or homework. Content is sometimes interesting. 2 final projects aren't brutal, but do them over Thanksgiving (if applicable).

Really enjoyed her lectures although they did not necessarily always align with the connect homework material. I do wish she posted the powerpoints rather than just the lecture videos.

6 tests, drop the lowest one with weekly homework and a couple of projects. Mandatory attendance (tophat) to lectures that are incredibly boring and not helpful for the exams. Take notes on your homework, as exam questions come straight from the textbook. Get a Chegg membership.

got a good grade but she was very difficult. The group project we did was poorly explained and was graded strictly. When the rough draft was submitted we got confusing feedback a week before the final submission. When asked for help only 1/3 of them got answered. and professor said the other 2 were not clear questions and got 3hrs past due date.

This class is an easy A. ALL of the homework, quizzes, exams, even attendance is online (and on Chegg). You don't need to show up to class ever.

There is a real disconnect between what we are taught in class and what we are tested on. Class examples and practice problems are oversimplified and are nothing like what is on the HW or exams. It is frustrating to take over 2 hours of quality notes to then realize that they don't help with the problems at all. Roy is a boring and lazy lecturer.

Incredibly rude and inflexible. Seems to relish taking out her negative feelings on others. Save yourself the stress.

Fairly easy course as long as you do all the weekly cengage HW and show up to class. Lectures were pretty boring and less useful when compared to other profs. Graded by 6 exams where she drops the lowest one, weekly hw and quizzes, top hat attendance, and then two group projects at the end of the year
