Reviews of professor Kimberly Jeckel

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Jeckel is such a kind person. But her lectures are very boring and hard to comprehend. It is very hard to take notes during class but luckily her lectures are posted. She does in person exams which are worded very poorly. But if you go to the group learning sessions and ask questions you will do well in this class

Just reads the slides, doesn't really teach anything

Very kind, helpful, and informative. She speaks fast and covers a lot of material per class so don't zone out or you will get lost. Utilize the learning assistants, it is a game changer.

A bit of a tough professor, but very kind- willing to help. Lengthy lectures that can be hard to follow and boring. Exams often oddly worded and use odd examples. Most helpful thing was the exam review sessions, make sure to go and study the exam concept sheets heavily!

Dr. Jeckel is a literal ANGEL. She made anatomy & physiology 2 a piece of cake. She provides plenty of resources to help with difficult research assignments. She allowed me to submit some assignments late without any penalty. Truly the best professor I've had. I recommend you take her for any science course! You won't regret it :)

While attendance is not necessary, it does help a lot with exams. Very kind and understanding. Tests were easy if you put effort into studying; she posts exam concepts that are identical to the exam.

I'm surprised she has a 5/5. I never write reviews, but I wouldn't recommend taking a class with this professor. She speaks so fast; It's hard to follow along while taking notes. She is passionate about biology, but she does a terrible job at thoroughly explaining concepts. The homework was easy, though! Lots of opportunities to get your grade up.

Dr. Jeckel was a great professor! In high school, I struggled a lot with biology, but Dr. Jeckel simplified things and helped me do really well in this course. Although attendance isn't mandatory, I recommend going as she mentions things during lectures that aren't on the slides. If you are taking LIFE102, I would highly recommend Dr. Jeckel!

Great class, great lecture. She repeats a lot of the information that directly relates to the test. If you follow lectures and answer/ know all of the questions on the study sheet, it's a guaranteed A. She is a fast speaker so make sure you have your own slides pulled up on your computer.

Lecture heavy and goes very fast.   Be prepared to teach yourself.  Content is way above a 100 level course.  Format is the worst learning environment I have ever experienced.
