Reviews of professor Joy Ekenga

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Rude and mean. I had her for lab and she was just awful to us. I've heard she's the worst lecturer too

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Ekenga was a great professor to have for Pharmacology! As long as you show up to lectures, participate, and study for the exams, you should pass them. Joy definitely is the definition of "tough love," she wants us to apply ourselves and will push us to apply the knowledge that she knows we know, but we may be too afraid to try to apply it

I heard that Ekenga was good as a clinical instructor, but she was awful as a lecture professor. Her lectures are disorganized and confusing. Additionally, her tests cover material not discussed in class. Everything is a guessing game. Also, drug calcs & Is and Os are on all tests and are nothing like the practice problems.

I heard a lot of people didnt like her, so I was really scared. The first 2 days of clinical I wasnt a fan. TOUGH LOVE is the perfect phrase to describe her. Shes not super personal, but is just trying to make you the best nurse. She makes you find the answers, not just give it to you. She challenges you & makes you think.

She gave realistic examples when explaining patho and nursing interventions. I never felt confident about pharm until her class. Test were difficult and some questions were confusing. Focus on lecture notes rather than book (but reading was necessary too). Some ppl didn't like her but I thought she was professional and held us to a high standards

Terrible tests. Often covered content not outlined in objectives or content not discussed. Generally rude, average was low on several tests and instead of blaming herself, blamed the students.

Professor Ekenga is an amazing professor. I will say, she is very blunt, but she knows her stuff and is going to make sure you know it as well. She is always prepared for lectures and clearly states how we should be ready for them. As long as you are in class, listen to her lecture, and study, you will pass this class!
