Reviews of professor Jessica Ernest

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Her instructions are pretty unclear, and we dont get grades until the end of the semester which leaves you wondering if youll even pass. Not a lot of actual work, but hard quizzes that require specific in depth answers without being able to use mathematical explanations. Her goal was to make us like math but it honestly made me do the opposite

Shes not great at teaching. She treats us like children. She will knock off .5 off your homework. Yeah shes one of those. Thats literally the reason its called homework its supposed to be to practice. She is not lineant nor does she care what responsibilities you have outside of class. She Doesnt even calculate grades till you go and see her.

I have had the absolute pleasure of taking Math for Secondary Teachers with Dr. Ernest. She is personable, insightful, and classes fly by because we are so involved with actively learning. She helps you think critically and find creative ways to solve problems. She sees opportunities in mistakes & makes you feel OK for making them. She's amazing.

She made the class engaging and kind of fun. I hate math (& I'm bad at it) so, I thought it was gonna be the worst. But no, she made things easy to understand & students helped each other out. You gotta explain "why" all the time. Do that in the assignments (say yes to group quizzes), and you should pass. It's not that bad! Recommend for UDGE-B.

She is literally the worst. She is very condescending and not respectful. She will act nice in front of your face and say that you have the chance to earn a certain grade but then everything goes downhill when you get your grades back. Oh and good luck trying to email her about your grade shes not helpful. Worst professor Ive had at CSUCI.

At first while taking this class, I noticed that so much stuff was in the way from other classes that I was taking, however, I started to feel glad that I understood better on how proof-writing works. I'm glad that I was able to take this class, because I'm aware that this is going to be a really important concept from the next courses to take.

This is my second time taking Dr. Ernest. Her teaching style is not for everyone, but I really enjoyed her class. You work in groups each week, her activities are hands on and you learn as you go, discovering and sharing ideas. She is more of a guide than a lecturer, and expects you to explain what you are learning. Very accessible outside of class

Dr. Ernest is without a doubt the MOST AMAZING professor. I am a senior so I have lots of experiences with different professors and Dr. Ernest is by far the best you can get. She is an expert in her field and one of the most caring and understanding people I have ever met. If you have the chance to be in her class, do it, you will not regret it!
