Reviews of professor Jennifer Cohen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I did not like professor Cohen, she always walked into class like she was better than us. Lots of reading in this course. The group project had very bad instructions. She does not answer her email, don't even try. Learn how to use "Perusal" before you take this course. Do the homework it won't take long, but do it because there's few items graded.

This was a very tough class thematically, but provided the most eye-opening content I've ever engaged with. I loved having a small group to discuss things and study with outside of our collective meetings, and appreciated the online resources Dr. Cohen provided to us in this semi-online course. You will not be underwhelmed taking this class1

Dr. Cohen is very knowledgable and passionate about the material taught in her class. It is important that you read the assigned material and come to class prepared to discuss. If you do that, you'll earn a good grade. This class is not about testing or grades, and more about learning and applying the concepts to everyday life. I really enjoyed!

I took it hoping for an easy miami plan class and that was not the case. There are lots of reading and make sure you know how to use persuall. There is only one midterm exam for the semester so that was nice. However, there are minimal grades in the class. Participation is the sole reason I didn't get an A. I would not recommend. Tough grader!

Dr. J is super cool and very intelligent. The way this class is laid out is not for everyone. It relies heavily on discussion, rather than on lecture. Make sure you understand key concepts, rather than dates/people/specific facts. Group project is kind of complicated, so seek clarification if needed (she's good at this). Study hard for exams.

If you read the hw and participate in class you will get an A. She expects a lot from a 101 course but in terms of workload it is always very manageable. Just participate and you will do great

Prof. Cohen is too smart to teach a 101 class. As someone who knew nothing about the topic going in, I felt overwhelmed. The class discussions in small groups was the only thing I took away from this class

Out all of my classes, this was the easiest one, and somehow ended up being my lowest grade. You have to read and annotate, show up, and write a group paper at the end of the semester. The reason Im rating so low is because this teacher doesnt know how to give an A. U can literally do perfect and she will give u a B or lower.

this class was made wayyy harder than it needed/ should be. For a 101 level this class had sooo many papers and readings. Daily reading quizzes means you must show up. Huge semester long group project was confusing and stressful. Topics were interesting but the insane amount of work this class had made it not enjoyable. Grades really hard as well.
