Reviews of professor Teesta Jain

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very bad experience taking Biology 121 with her. Taught too fast and did not go over material very well. My class basically had to teach ourselves because she was no help. Also did not know grade until the class was over and could not discuss final grade due to the grade book being closed.

This professor's accent is VERY heavy - bad for newcomers. Draws but exams don't come from drawings instead from the text content she skips or reads very fast. Gives you 1min per quesion for 10questions for quizzes &  talks while you're taking the test/takes attendance at the same time. $200 lab kit, not worth it for a very poorly taught class.

Dr. Jain was definitely a character for me! While she did have a wonderful, charismatic personality, I do feel as though she was underprepared herself during the laboratory sessions as she often asked the TA and even us students in regards to how the experiments were to occur. I definitely would not mind having her again in the future, though!

I will be contacting Dr. Jain in the future for any advice or help I might need. She is simply the best and tried her best to make complex concepts more accessible. She uses power points and gives quizzes after every chapter. Its a challenging course, but she is super friendly as we transition back to campus; I love her for being patient.

She writes on the board and actually draws and uses not only power point but videos to clear concepts. I think BIO 121 is a lot of content but I love the lectures. They are full of examples.

Teesta is a very kind and passionate woman about her profession. She wasn't the best teacher for me because her lectures never really made sense to me. Labs didn't seem planned out well. She likes to connect biology to irl examples which isn't helpful bc that's what made the lectures so confusing. Don't take her class if u get confused easily.
