Jessica is really nice and a great teacher. Had her for AST1040 too and she was great. Gives great feedback and explains everything very clearly. 10/10

I am an art major and managed to do okay in this class but I put a lot of work in. Definitely the hardest class I took this semester and the tests are far harder than the homework assignments. Each test has a lot of material to memorize. It is obvious she knows what she is talking about and is passionate about astronomy.

Not clear at all what was going to be on each test. The class average for every test was never above a D. I attended almost every class and still had no idea what was going on. Wasn't lenient when you had an issue of technology or something and wasn't willing to help She curved the class but still would never recommend taking it.

Jessica is very very passionate about what she teaches about, but goes off on tangents about cool facts, but stuff that isn't on the test. It's very interesting, but the tests are difficult and based on smaller details and facts, and despite feeling prepared by the required study work, i'm still getting a C due to the heavy weight on the four tests

Honestly, this class has gotten to the point where I done show up anymore. The lectures are fast and can be boring and most of the stuff you learn you can learn easily on. The class is test heavy as its 60% of your grade.

She's nice and loves astronomy but forgets that the majority of students are taking it only to complete a requirement. The course is weighed far too heavy on the tests, which are unreasonably difficult compared to the rest of the course. I work very hard in school and it's annoying that my GPA is hurt because of an imbalanced grading system.

The tests are definitely difficult, but she makes class interesting, and is willing to work with you. You certainly have to study, and use the book for it. If you have an actual interest in Astronomy, I definitely recommend her.

I took AST1040 with her online and the class itself was fine. The tests were okay and she made the material in her lectures interesting. The only thing I want to complain about is that she had her TA grade our observation journal and they graded too harsh and docked many points when only one part of the question was wrong

Great professor and is very passionate about astronomy. Some people don't like her a whole lot, but I personally find her helpful. She's great at explaining difficult concepts. Make sure you read the book though. Tests are 70% of your grade, so if you aren't a great test taker and need to take this class, I would advise that you study a lot.
