Reviews of professor Jessica Nowlin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Nowlin goes over a lot in class but she makes the material easy to break down and is eager to help. She has a great personality and encourages student participation, and she never makes you feel stupid for any question you ask unlike some other professors. I'm taking her again next semester and I'm definitely looking forward to it.

This was such a hard class, but that's just because i got lost the first week and never recovered. I just don't think Latin is the language for me. She gave me all of the materials I needed to succeed, I was just not able to understand how Latin works. She is a wonderful professor though.

Intro to Ancient Greece is not a blow off class!! Lectures are heavy with too much information. She expects you to read like 3-4 books for that class. Attendance is part of your grade. I regret taking this class, too much work for a subject with little to no real value.

Loved having Prof. Nowlin for Intro to Ancient Greece. She assigned a manageable amount of work and it always followed the syllabus. There were a few group projects to throughout the semester but they didn't take much time at all as long as you get in contact with your groupmates. Best Prof. I've had so far. If you need any credits go with Nowlin!

I enjoyed having Dr. Nowlin in her Ancient Sport class. She provided interesting lectures on various aspects of ancient Greek and Roman sports. Planning and hosting the Rowdy Olympics was the fun part. My advice is to be on top of your discussion posts so that you won't do yourself a disservice by waiting till the last minute (not that I did that).

Professor Nowlin is a wonderful person and a wonderful teacher! All of her lectures were entertaining and informative and she made me actually want to continue coming to class. She posts all of her PowerPoints online as well as other study materials. She gives plenty of time for the quizzes, essays, and projects, and is a very fair grader.

Professor Nowlin is SO passionate about what she teaches, which make it that much easier to learn! I personally didn't have to read much because I read the Odyssey and Homers Epics in high school, but if you haven't you might have to. If not, she goes over what the deeper meaning of these works! I recommend this course for non-art majors!

Great class but essays will make or break you. So if you find essays stressful, think twice about taking this class.
