Reviews of professor Jennifer Reid

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I know that COVID changed how a lot of classes were run, but she seems very checked out with the class. Disorganized and did not post weekly material on time for a few of the weeks. She seems knowledgeable and it is unfortunate that there are no office hours because I could really use some more help in the class.

She teaches material at a high level and expects you to take on the responsibility of learning. I appreciate her knowledge and wish more profs knew as much history behind their topics as she does. (She understands English incredibly well because she has studied its history/origins). However, her expectationsaretoohighforstudentsjugglingotherclasses

Prof was often disorganized for class - forgot important materials for important lectures. Asked for help and she seemed to have gotten overwhelmed and was unable to control her emotions. She said very rude things. I was in genuine disbelief at how she treated me and other students. Her U of T reviews show similar experiences. Wish Id listened!

Posted 0 lectures, was graded only on understanding of readings/slide-sets/textbook through Nexus tests. Tests were really straightforward though. I would take other courses with her due to simplicity of the course design alone (2 tests, 2 quizzes), but if you learn by listening, do not take this prof.

Adequate and quite clear instruction. Buying the textbooks isn't really necessary, you can find all the info you need in the handouts and online. Attendance is important. Lots of small assignments.

Terrible prof so far. Goes on about extra curricular effort but doesn't answer emails. Asked her what books were required so I could avoid shipping a book late. She never responded and now I'm waiting on a book that she keeps referencing. It seems that the online course is so stripped down hardly any effort was put in. 3 assignments all term lol :(
