Reviews of professor Jasmine Forde

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
jasmine is one of the worst teachers I have ever had. She is often wrong on her powerpoints and Kahoot questions and has to be corrected by students during class. Her tests ask too many questions for the time given and many students do not finish or have no time to check their work. Tests and quizzes are all multiple choice and are very hard.

Give 2 bonus points on your final grade if you do most of the kahoot questions. Quizzes are hard, 20 questions and takes the full 45 mins. Lab saves your grade. Does in class group assignments over papers, drops 1. Goes crazy fast during lecture so you can't write notes. Posts slides. Has wrong info on her slides, but test over the correct info.

Dr. Forde referred to me as ILLITERATE in a meeting with the associate dean of ecology. The meeting was set up to discuss material which was contradictory to other slides or just outright incorrect. Upon a respectful confrontation of the confusion, she did not understand just how many students were struggling after being tested on such material.

My advisor told me that this class would be an easy A. It's not. They switched professors half-way through. Dr. Forde's quizzes and tests made no sense. They were insanely difficult. There were always 2 answer choices that were basically the same thing, and the material on the test was much more difficult than what was on her PowerPoints.

I took Dr. Forde for 3500. She is certainly not a pushover, however is very clear about what content you will be tested on and gives lots of study materials. If you take good notes and do the assigned readings you will do well. Attendance is taken via Kahoot, however it is a small part of your final grade. Dr. Forde was a great, fair teacher.
