Reviews of professor Jessica West

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. West is an absolute sweetheart. She is super passionate about sociology and very passionate about teaching. One time she even sent me an email asking if I needed help because I used struggling in sociology as an example on an exam and she wanted to make sure I wasn't too scared to ask for help. She also goes out of her way to make class fun.

Jessica is a great prof who really knows her stuff and can explain it well. Her lectures are interesting and easy to understand. Only a handful of assignments & then weekly readings. Study the book + slides well for the final and midterm, she's a tough grader. Participate or she will call on you anyways.

Had to take sociology to fulfill a requirement for my degree. It was kind of even a mistake I was in this class, but I am really glad that I ended up here. Sociology isnt really my jam, but Prof West puts such effort and care into the class and makes it interactive and really inspiring. Amazing teacher. A fair bit of work, don't backburn this class

Prof. West is probably the best professor I've had at UNCA. She was spectacular. Prof. West made herself available to us for whatever we needed throughout our course with her. She was considerate and saw us as more than just bodies in a chair. I would 10/10 take a class with her again. She's a phenomenal prof. and an even better person.
