Reviews of professor Nayoung Jo

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I want to thank Professor Nayoung Jo for letting me pass. However, if you can, avoid her GEOG 101 course. The number of assignments and the veracity of them will make you want to drop out of college completely. GEOG 101 felt like a level 300 course.

Nice lady, but it is easy to tell she is new to teaching. Very lecture and powerpoint heavy, and to some could be hard to understand. She is very soft spoken and could be hard to hear if sitting far away. Open note everything, but lots of material and test questions are occasionally based off what she said, and not what was on the powerpoint.

The WORST professor! She is hard to understand with her accent, but that is the least of her problems. She does not actually teach the concepts in her recorded lectures. I honestly don't think she even understands this course since she never explains anything. If you are looking for a decent core online course, AVOID at all costs.

Felt like a 300 or 400 level class for an entry level course, a lot of super tedious classwork but at least it was only graded on completion. A ton of work for a 5 week summer course that just felt very boring and tedious plus a ton of 1 hour recorded lectures that you have to watch if you want a decent grade. Has a very heavy accent at times.

The assignments were pretty straight forward and not too bad. There were quizzes every week that matched the given assignments. It was a lecture heavy class with so much information and the exams were hard.

Do not take this class if you think it will be an easy core. Subject matter is much harder than you may think it is. I think this class would be better in person. Exams are proctored online. She was nice and I understood her fine. You won't really know how you're doing till the end bc she doesn't grade hw & labs till the last week.

Never again. You got to really double check what she says because she sometimes graded things incorrectly or gave incorrect instructions on assignments. Also, I noticed she also avoids talking in great detail about the role of African Americans and other important factors in the development of cities. Overall, she isn't the most thorough professor.

Every class is a lecture and outside of class there are quizzes and homework that is through the online textbook. She has a thick accent, so it can be hard to understand her at times, but it gets easier to understand. This class is an easy A as long as you study for the tests and take notes on the lectures.

Very boring and hard to understand. She forces you to watch her lectures for pop quiz like journal questions that are placed randomly in hour-long videos. Slow talker. But you should pass regardless so she`s not a bad choice to pick out of all of them. Also not mean.
