Reviews of professor Jessica Maddox

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Maddox is great for JCM 212, the final is a group project but she is a stickler for making sure everyone works and not just one person. She is really easy to talk to and not at all a tough grader. 10/10 would recommend

Easy to work with and accessible outside of class. She was always understanding of technical difficulties when submitting projects and willing to extend deadlines for extenuating circumstances. She had attendance quizzes about once a week where you really just had to write your name on a piece of paper and turn it in. Easy A

Very interesting class, but be prepared to watch lots of movies and TV shows. Not having access to streaming services is not an excuse in this class, which kinda sucks. Also, she gives random quizzes on the materials we watched.

She is sweet but a hard grader. you also have to watch a lot of movies and take test on them. not my favorite class. there is not a lot of homework because everything is done in groups and during class.

This class is mostly talking about the film process, but the Photoshop and Adobe Premiere projects were very fun. Make sure you have a subject you can do a documentary on as quickly as possible to save the stress. In spite of it being interactive lecture, participation was not graded. The class is overly reliant on lectures.

I like Prof. Maddox alot, I want to take another of her class. Her rubrics were very clear in my opinion, I just don't enjoy group work especially when the work can be done on your own. Just make sure you pay attention to lectures and you'll pass.

Dr. Maddox was an amazing professor who always wanted to make her classes interesting and engaging. Would love to take again!

BEST. EVER!!!! She makes a class I am really not interested in VERY fun! In regards to pop quizzes, that's how she takes attendance. She does one a week and they are mostly "write your name on the paper." Everything you do in that class is a project, but they are very easy and fun if you put a little work into them! Loves this class!

Although attendance is not mandatory for this class, Professor Maddox does not upload the lecture slides or any kind of notes about the lectures. If you miss class you better hope you can find someone with notes. There are required readings and movies/shows that you have to watch. She puts questions about the movies on the exams.
