Reviews of professor Jennifer Zenovich

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Difficult to collect social media examples that fit her criteria for an important paper, which seemed slightly unfair. As an undergrad, accurate analysis of social movements/social media rhetoric at the level she set seemed more suited to a post-grad student. This was an online class so I'd still give her the benefit of a doubt.

Dr. JZ is a fantastic professor. She's very knowledgeable and is very passionate about the subject of Gender. She gives great feedback on papers and makes you really challenge the way you think. I would totally take her class again. She's hilarious and makes class very interesting! I totally recommend her :)

I took her for Communication of Gender here at SFSU. She is a very tough grader for group projects and presentation papers. She likes to get off topic on tangents and goes on and on lecturing about it. Not a nice person to be around in her class if you dont agree on everything she teaches. NO ROOM FOR QUESTIONING HER IDEAS. Worst class I have taken

Fall 2018: Zenovich's teaching improved dramatically over the course of the semester. I went from dreading her class to actually looking forward to it. Once she mellowed out about the desk arrangement and started facilitating class discussions, I was more engaged. She is intense but can be funny too.. And she gives comprehensive feedback on papers.

Honestly., her assignments can be confusing. She is alright. Tough grader. Lots of reading. Wants meaningful discussions but she spends most of the time going on tangents.

Vague lectures, heavy attitude that is incredibly patronizing if you ask/request for specification. Poor lectures, seems rushed and in a hurry to leave. Not helpful/accessible outside of class. Assignments are not clear, and graded harshly despite not having clear requirements. Gives somewhat helpful feedback, and encourages you to do your best.

The worst online Prof. so far, here's why: Lack of communication, no guidance, lags on grading. She doesn't care about students, which is a crime for teachers. Only plus: work load is not heavy, but expects very specific criteria orally/written, which she doesn't communicate clearly. She posts a syllabus at the beginning of semester & that's it.

The class is not an "easy A"... Dr. Zenovich wants students to really apply the course concepts and develop public speaking skills. There is required reading and there are class presentations. Do the reading and dedicate plenty of hours to rehearsing your presentations for the class. Great educator, good class to practice your public speaking.
