Reviews of professor Valerie Jones

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Valerie is the instructor for the Tempe Team at Rio Salado College. I had a few questions for her throughout the course. She was great in her responses to me to help me succeed. I very much appreciate her support this semester. If you see a Tempe Team class, take it!

honestly Ive always had an interest in ai/social media, so the content we learned was great. i think dr. jones did well giving us different resources, but sometimes the readings can take a while. overall, i wish the rubrics were a little clearer and projects were graded faster, but i definitely enjoyed the class. one of the best honors electives!

I think she's fine. Nothing you do on a major project will ever be perfect so you will never receive a 100, but if you follow the pretty broad rubrics you should be good with an A or B+. No one fails (as far as I know) but no one is great either. Sort of demoralizing and sort of a waste of time. Glad I don't have to have her again, but she's fine.

Honors course I took for ace credit. 94 is an A-. She doesn't like to give out full credit on any assignment. Really enjoyable course however. Interesting and make good friends with only 20 people in the class.

Valerie Jones is the instructor for the Tempe Team at Rio Salado College. I received good feedback from her for my questions throughout the intro Powerpoint class. Thank you for the great experience. Hope to see you in another class!

Dr. Jones is nice Professor, and although shes a tough grader, she wont completely fail you. She also willing to revisit and revise grades if you discuss them with her, which you cant say about other Professors. The class is easy, just requires lots of work. Youll meet good people in your group projects so theres an upside. Not that bad at all.

I had a hard time with Valerie because she can be naive, unrealistically idealistic, and disingenuous at times. She had inconsistent grading practices, was not clear in her expectations and feedback, was not communicative, and was unavailable outside of class.

Jones frequently makes comments during class discussion and will shift the topic to where she wants it to go. The actual content of the class isn't too difficult, so as long as you participate and put forth a good amount of effort on assignments/projects (majority of points), you should end up with a pretty good grade.
