Reviews of professor Jennifer Cole

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I don't understand why she has such a low grading. I took her fall2020 for the lab portion of Earth Science and she was fantastic. Very straightforward work. You have a quiz every week based off on simple material. Not difficult at all. She's also very understandable and lenient. Super helpful and caring! Definitely recommend her.

Took her for GEO01, got an A in the class so I thought 15 would be fine. I was wrong. She is way worse with the Lab. The tests aren't remotely related to the module, and she does not give you feedback on missed answers. Final Exam was the worst. I seriously recommend picking another professor- one who would give you even slight feedback instead 0

5 week Summer course. Class description stated 10.5hrs per week, but she expects 30hrs per week of work. The 2nd week was the toughest, 5 chapters, 3 quizzes, 3 TIMED assignments and 1 discussion. She takes long to grade assignments. Is not considerate of personal life of students. Expect to work Mon-Sun.

I'm not sure why Dr. Cole has such a low rating, but I took her for Earth Science and was pleasantly surprised. The coursework is straight forward (one quiz, one discussion due every two weeks) and she's really kind and communicative. She even gave a survey at the beginning of term asking for everyone's pronouns, which I thought was sweet.

She's a great teacher, just pay attention and you'll do fine.

Had her for the 2020 Summer. Lots of tests, but you can use textbook. Some are timed, so be prepared. She doesn't let you see the questions you get wrong, just the score. Discussions are rough, you really need to know the topic. Very little communication. You really have to plan out your days to do her work if you have other classes. She's okay.

New teacher on campus. Class size dwindled to 8. Don't have to stay for class, but many students are not doing well because of this. Does let you turn in late work! Uploads all the power points on Canvas. Tests are very powerpoint based. First test was difficult, a lot on the Coriolis Effect which is confusing. Straightforward class.
