Reviews of professor Jennifer McBryan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of the best teachers I've ever had. I used to dread writing assignments, but she gave clear, constructive guidance that allowed me to enjoy putting my thoughts to paper. She's always reachable outside of class, I can always get a helpful response within 24 hours. Enriching lectures. A solid 10/10 professor.

Professor McBryan is a very caring professor. The theme for her CAL 105 was "Intelligence." Grades were based on low-stakes weekly writing exercises, midterm, and final as well as 2 analytical essays and a research paper with a presentation. You would want to put in work for the essays. She was very understanding of work that was late due to Covid.

Professor McBryan is fantastic. This is a STEM school and that's the focus here, so many students aren't interested from the start. Professor McBryan acknowledges that is the case, and makes class interesting to engage these students. It's impressive and leaves students focused on STEM with a good albeit brief education in the humanities.

Professor McBryan is a true educator who is passionate about teaching and roots for the success of her students. She gives good guidance and tips for your papers in class, and has a large amount of office hours where she offers even better one on one advice. Made a required freshman writing class an amazing experience.

 I felt discouraged going to class everyday. I felt like I was putting in my best effort but no matter what I was getting awful grades. maybe I am not as good of a writer as I thought. But I got top scores in high school for AP English and get only A's in my other classes essays. I don't think she liked me very much though I don't know what I did.

Professor McBryan is such a great teacher, and the class, while I don't usually enjoy English classes, was a genuine joy to go to! She always had interesting discussions, and was extremely clear and helpful on how to write a great essay. She grades easy if you put in the effort, but you won't mind as the content is actually interesting.
