Reviews of professor Jennifer Miller-Scher

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This is one of if not the easiest class I have ever taken, if you try even a little bit you'll get a passing grade easily. Wonderful professor who gives amazing feedback.

Her course schedule is very clear and organized, never anything unexpected. You have to read a chapter a week, take an open-book quiz, and complete an assignment. You'll have an open-book test every 3 chapters or so. It isn't an astronomical amount of work but you have to understand the material to do well on the tests.

The lecture powerpoints were not helpful at all. The quizzes and weekly assignments were easy, but then the exams (there are 5 of them) are really hard. The exams are nearly impossible to get an A on even with them being open book and open note. She hardly answers her email. She grades essays very hard.

Worst teacher ever! Had her for the intro class. Her tests had absolutely nothing to do with her topics. Part of our final had to do with education in societies and one of the questions had a Star Wars related question on it! STAR WARS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EDUCATION! That was just an example. Horrible teacher I was one point away from a B.

This Professor does not grade on time. She is an extremely tough grader. I have never received below a B on college papers and usually get A's on papers. I got a low B and a C on her essays. She is very anal about citations that English tutors don't catch. I even turned in my papers to the UNG online writing center to review the paper. She's a pill

I had Dr. Scher during COVID (FALL2020), which was hybrid. She was by far the worse prof I have ever had :/ she was my only C. We had weekly quizzes over the chapter and exams every three weeks. Her presentations were not useful at all. We went in person 4 times this semester and only watched videos in class. Overall, I don't recommend her 4/10.

I liked that the schedule was set every week: open note quiz and every 3 weeks an exam. She always graded the essays leniently and was very understanding about extensions. The exams were hard even with the powerpoints but she overall means well and is a good teacher with minimal work.

Dr Miller is an example of why social sciences have a bad reputation for being a requirement when not pertaining to a major.  She asks ambiguous and vague questions yet expects precise answers. She grades intro classes like they are high-level major requirements. She is very knowledgeable, however, if you are not a Sociology major stay clear!
