Reviews of professor Janette Herbers

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Herbers is very thoughtful and kind. Her assignments help you apply and understand complex material. She provides solid feedback on labs/papers. I felt prepared to write a research proposal by the end of the semester. However, lectures are long, the material is quite boring and the lab work takes A LOT of time. Exams are challenging as well.

The subject is boring, but she tries to engage the students in lecture. Exams are easy-- just study the PowerPoint material. Little to no work if you use your lab time to complete lab assignments. The main writing assignment is divided in a way that makes a seemingly overwhelming project very manageable.

A solid choice for research methods. Lectures coincide well with the textbook. Labs are tedious but not difficult. Dr. Herbers is a very sweet professor and provides helpful feedback regarding the main research paper. During COVID-19, tests were open note which is appreciated. I'd recommend her.

Dr. Herbers is okay. The class itself is not bad but the material is boring and uninspiring. Her slides are not very informative for how much material is covered on the exams. There was one bonus assignment that added pretty much nothing to the grade so it was practically useless.

Nice professor. Tests were challenging, but if you study the Power Points, you will do well. Some MC questions, however, were extremely niche. Focus of the class was geared towards how what we learned could be applied to real life scenarios including our own life - very neat. Overall, material was genuinely interesting, learned a lot. Fun class.

Dr. Herbers is an incredibly nice lady, but lectures can really get drawn out and if you don't read the textbook and take notes in class, the exams are very difficult. There's a lot of things that she breezes through quickly that end up being important on exams which makes it difficult to get a good grade.

She assigns labs weekly which take hours to complete and does not prepare students for them, grades awarding half credit with no explanation. Very picky, petty about every thing you turn in even if it's well done

It isn't a hard class but she just isn't the most interesting. Part of the issue is course material. She does her best,  so I don't fault her much and she is definitely accessible.

Notes are all powerpoint based and classes are very lecture heavy. If you pay attention and study your notes from class youll pass. She gives extra credit opportunities and easy homework grades
