Reviews of professor Jennifer Cullison

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Attendance is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY. She takes roll up to four times per class. This wouldn't be so bad if the class was more enjoyable, but it is very lecture heavy and every one is awful. She uses a PowerPoint and reads off an iPad in a monotone voice; too flat to engage, too fast to follow. Taking her class was the worst choice I made all year.

Holds you hostage. As long as you do the textbook work it's easy. lectures are pointless but the participation points accumulate. Very easy to get good grade if you care, or don't care and do well on the essays.

The class wasn't very hard, just time consuming. There are textbook quizzes due once a week. HW due every few weeks. Lectures are boring but necessary to earn a few attendance points. I used the class period to do other homework. Cullison grades tough on the essay exams, but provides good feedback and clear rubrics. If you take from her, good luck.

Get ready to come to class and have her read her slide shows that can be found on canvas. Ive retained very little from her lectures, extremely dull and difficult to follow along during class. Attendance is required. She does not seem like she enjoys teaching. K would love to say positive things about this teacher but cant find anything good.

Terrible! Loads of reading at home on top of HW from class. Expectations change regularly and are never clear. Questions will not be answered in class, she never looks up from the I pad to see your hand. Group work is a cluster and unorganized. You will have to go through IA's to get to her. Get ready to write papers as if you are in English!

Lot's of HW, not very clear about what is due and when, doesn't specify assignments, very few opportunities for extra credit, if you miss your grade WILL drop.

She means well, and loves to teach history, and overall I learned a ton that actually stuck in my memory. Though hard at times, I would say she is fair, and her critiques are long, thoughtful, and ultimately very helpful.

Each class is a lecture based on the selected chapters of the textbook you have read already. You basically read the textbook, take a quiz or do an assignment based on your reading, then show up to class and she reads from the textbook while having daily quizzes are required. The class is very dry, and she is not clear on assignment expectations.

Feels like an online class with a required, pointless lecture twice a week. Being in class seems like more of a chore than a place to learn information. The exams are based solely on the online textbooks chapter quizzes with little to no information from your lecture notes. Lecture notes are really only helpful for Essays an homework.
