Reviews of professor Jodi Dowthwaite

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Jodi is literally the best person ever and the greatest FRI professor you can have. While sometimes it may take you a while to understand the ropes of FRI, and how useless and tedious HARP170 is, youll eventually realize shes the best and easiest and also most individually focused and caring professor in the program.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
HARP170 is arguably the most useless class of FRI, but Jodi makes the class so much better. One of the easiest As of college youll ever attain, and she is an interesting person to be around. Everyone loves her.

Dr. D. is the worst professor I have had in this graduate program. She never goes over the topics and just talks about her political beliefs and random tangents. I have had to teach myself every aspect of this course and she provides no in-class or outside-of-class help. This class was only 2 credits but she taught it like a 4 credit class.

It's clear that she's very knowledgeable and cares a lot about her students. Lectures and assignments can be confusing at times, but if you ask questions she's quick to clarify. Very available outside of class. Some reviews mentioned politics are (rarely) brought up, but it's always relevant and it's for a competency required by CEPH accreditation.

Dr. D is by the far the best professor Ive ever had the pleasure of knowing at Binghamton. She cares so much about each and every student and it makes the long days of FRI so worth it. She is supportive to what every students wants to pursue, both research-wise and career-wise, as well as super knowledgeable about public health.

Dont drop FRI! It really worth it if you stick to it. Its will be a lot of work for the 2nd and 3rd semester, but its really worth it if you want to pursue Pre-Health, grad school, research or anything related to the team that you have. Also, you teammates can really be your companion for the rest of the college. Very great experience!

Dr. D is a wonderful educator, and an amazing person. She is someone who genuinely cares about her students, and ensures that all of us do the best we can. She keeps lectures interesting and relevant, and goes above and beyond to help us understand the material she gives us. Lots of in-depth feedback. Very patient and engaged with us.

Out of all FRI professors, Dr. D is less lenient and didnt respond to emails. She took points off for unclear reasons and her advice was contradicting. Overall FRI is an easy class as long as you do all the HW assignments. If you do bad on the first google drive check and poster draft, you can still get an A. Just make sure to read ALL directions.
