Reviews of professor Jolene Vincent

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really loved Criminology with Dr. Vincent, she's educated on the material and set clear grading criteria for the course. It's a manageable class if you do the readings and stay on top of due dates. She's willing to help with questions if you make the effort and reach out. Definitely recommend.

Attendance is not mandatory to pass this class, but she will sometimes take surprise attendance in this large lecture class. Exams are somewhat unfair as they pull specific examples from class that don't necessarily relate to material learned. Weekly Chapter quizzes, a midterm, and final.

She is a very easy professor if you show up and pay attention. All of her exam questions are straight from lectures that she doesn't post online. But if you come to class, you'll do fine.

Fun class and interesting crimes are covered

I major in sociology and LOVED her and the class. It can be a lot of reading on theories, but she asked us what crimes we wanted to focus on and ties them into class with recent cases/ videos. I recommend going to her office and getting to know her because she is always willing to help and has interesting insight in sociology and criminology.

Easy to pass if you show up to class, read textbook, take quizzes, and do well on tests (simple multiple choice tests). Did not like her style of teaching as her classes are very slow/boring. Reads straight from Powerpoints and has dry, boring lectures. As a Sociology major, I was disappointed by this course.

All she does is read off the lectures (and once class was online, she simply posted power points b/c she could not figure out how to do videos after the first two). She is VERY delayed in responding to emails and giving grades (MC midterm took more than a month) but only gives students a few days for assignments. However, it is an easy class

Class isn't hard. Yes you do have to memorize a lot of details and theories , but all you have to do is gather your friends, use the online resources and absolutely cram everything. No paper, you can do most bb exams using Ctrl+F. Class is really boring and awkward with group works, slides are from the textbook, obscure knowledge for the 1st half

Agreed with others that all she does is read off the slides. Class is really boring and the professor is obnoxious. She seems to think she's amazing but she knows nothing about the subject and takes forever to grade things (MC midterms took a month). Pretty easy class but not worth having to hear her talk every week

This class literally feels as though another college student is teaching it. She is very uninformed and ditzy and barely teaches anything - half the time when people had a question she'd say "it depends" or "I'm not sure." Super easy if you do all the work but Vincent is not a good professor.
