Reviews of professor Jamie Beinhoff

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
"Attendance in this course is evaluated in terms of professionalism. What habits, attitudes, communication etc. are appropriate in a professional setting" but she bases professionalism solely on attendance bc youll get 0/100 in professionalism if u skip more than 5 classes which will drop you a letter grade, absurd.

Has a 5pt midterm reflection q&a which she didn't even tell the class about or when it was supposed 2b due&5pt elevator pitch for ExCred. Workshops r worth 100pts for just peer editing which makes no sense. Editing a paper should be worth like 30 points for time spent and editing. Editing is not some hard concept to learn so it shouldn't be 100pts.

Not a good professor. She is very vague with how to and what to do for assignments. Her response to asking for help is usually its in your textbook. For some reason she requires you to print out documents instead of viewing them digitally, she even bans technology at times. Only positive is that shes gives plenty of time to finish work.

In my experience, Bienhoff has shown a significant lack of care and focus for her students through her poor directions, her unclear grading criteria, and the exceptionally long time it takes to grade. She tries to relate to us as students, likely to make us more interested, but in her drive for relatability, she loses any actual education there is.

Read everything assigned. Be prepared for class. Do your best on papers. Take her advice and make corrections. Rather nice. Tries her best to help you. You have to put in the work. Textbook is online and included in fees. Prepares you for business writing. Wish we could take class sooner in college.

Bienhoff is redeemable in some regards. She does truly care for her students, and she can be lively in class. Despite other people's ratings, I found her expectations for assignments clear. My only complaint with her is the busy-work she assigns for homework. There has been times when I found her grading unnecessarily hard for a 100/200 lvl course
