Reviews of professor Jackie Vogel

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Worst professor I've ever had at McGill. Her lectures often go off-topic and her exams are overly specific. It contrasts with the other professor I've had for the same course, which made the class content interesting and clear. It's not hard content, but she made it difficult and frustrating to learn.

She doesn't really actually teach anything she just talks for like an hour and a half and her sentences make no sense. They aren't clear and her slides don't help at all, I don't understand how she is a teacher here. This class is easy content wise but somehow she makes it hard to understand. I like the other lecturer though Wooley is awesome

the content is not that complicated but she makes it seem soooo confusing. the way she speaks is so misleading and unclear. you're better off teaching yourself. her exams are sometimes overly simple, to the point where it throws you off.

A lot of info on her slides is wrong, because she doesn't correct it. Before her midterm she mentioned two questions with their answers and said they would be on the midterm. They were not there!! Very frustrating when you're counting on 2 free points. Her presentations and lectures are not in line with the objectives. I learned by myself.

Professor Vogel seems like such a wonderful person and I would love to be her friend if she was not my prof. However, she is truly an awful professor. As someone who came into the class with very little background biology, I had to basically teach all the content to myself. Her slides and lectures are confusing and her tests are quite hard

Professor Vogel cares a great deal about her course material, but often presents it in an unclear way. She has a tendency to go off track during lectures and talk about her personal life and accomplishments at considerable length. I wouldn't recommend taking her class unless you've got a solid foundation/understanding of basic chemistry.

literally the worst teacher I've ever had, made me so turned off from learning anything science and I left every class genuinely agitated.

For BIOL115 in Fall 2021, I got an A+ on the Vogel part thanks to the class being online, and being done with others and notes. Vogel is a sweet woman and very nice, but as a teacher is hard to follow, not much of a helper, and the tests are quite ambiguous and difficult, they make you look through your notes 5 times before you get the answer

Worst teacher I've had. The slides are useless. Hard to understand the lectures, she uses many difficult terms to explain a topic but there's little explanation to what the terms mean first so you can't understand what's she's explaining, if that makes sense . I love science and because of this class I now hate it. The textbook is your best friend.
