Reviews of professor Jocelyn Minsky-Roland

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Minsky-Roland is nice and knows her stuff, but her exams are overly difficult. She does good lectures and can explain concepts, but the exams are unfair. The exams have duplicates of specific questions, and the tests focus on a few objectives. You can study the whole topic, but she will make the whole test focus on a few specific topics.

Took the class online. No tests, but there's a lot of quizzes that are all open book. Quiz questions were often worded weirdly.
This class required a textbook, but I didn't want to purchase one so I found the previous edition of the textbook for free.
Two or three papers, and the final is a paper which is also open book.

Got an A, would recommend.

Shes a very nice professor. Her communication is very good and very responsive. However, her exams are very tricky. She asks the same questions in so many different ways. The final is cumulative . If you take online course then you have to self study a lot because her lectures are very boring. Overall, Very challenging online course.

Very clear in all instructions, and more than happy to help with any questions! It is a challenging course even online, but she is great with Canvas and technology. Does not use lockdown browser, so things are open note/book. 2 big papers for the semester, but they aren't awful and following her directions makes it easier. Very passionate!

She was a good professor overall, but little things would bother her that were unnecessary. The class lectures were very boring, but I will say the content was kind of interesting. The grading is too strict, and hands out lot of assignments. The material was explained well, but there was too much to have to follow.
