Reviews of professor Friederike Jentoft

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Clear slides and clear explanations. Yes, there was no practice exam and the exams were fast paced, but if you did your homework right, should be fine. Office hours were great.

Thermo II is one of the most challenging classes in ChE; yet, Prof. Jentoft's teaching was clear and straightforward. She solved examples on the board, going step by step and highlighting key concepts. She is amazing during Off.Hrs, but the exams are aimed at a fast pace. Prof. Jentoft was always prepared and could answer any question in class.

Very strict and ridiculous policy: no practice exams. The exams are borderline impossible and only given 50 mins with 4~5 questions (3 math, 1~2 concept). The homework is hard. Mostly unhelpful office hours. Pay attention in class and read the book. The book is very important (it has some of the homework problems and exams)

Exams count for a lot, but if you read the book and really try, you can do well in this class. Jentoft really does care about the success of her students, and gives opportunities to succeed.

Prof. Jentoft is very approachable and very enthusiastic about Thermodynamics. Highly recommend going to office hours. Thermodynamics II is an overwhelming course and may seem like a lot at first. Textbook is required as most of the HWs are from the textbook.  NO PRACTICE EXAMS.

Prof. F. Jentoft was one of the few professors in Senior Lab who actually gives you solid feedback and wants you to learn the material. However, I did have a bad experience with her when I handed her a doctor's note as proof for missing class and she accused me of forgery! But other than that, she was helpful.

Nice lady but so unnecessarily hard and unfair. She doesn't put up answers to homework or old exams. She's one of those professors who doesn't care about whether or not her students pass and when everyone fails she looks at it as though its their problem and not a reflection of her teaching. She's the hardest teacher I've ever experienced.

Jentoft is a great professor, but she makes her exams unreasonably difficult (only 50 minutes and can have 4-5 questions with at least 1 being concept related -- no time for error). The HWs can be challenging, but going to office hours can be helpful. If you are lost in the class, read the textbook (there are also problem similar to the hw).
