Reviews of professor Jessica Whitt

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Bio 162 is a tough course and I believe Professor Whitt isn't an ideal professor to teach this course because she doesn't usually teach Bio 162 and she doesn't really explain the concepts effectively. I noticed that she would sit in the previous class' lecture to help her prepare for her lectures for my class.

Prof. Whitt is an extremely accessible professor when it comes to needing out-of-class help. However, the material is extremely difficult for a non-science major course, and the way she explains it is very vague and "dumbed down" until the exam, when it is nothing like the way it was explained.

I really enjoyed my experience with Professor Whitt. Even though she did speak at the speed of light and talked to us like we were elementary school kids, it was a nice break from the hardo professors who expect soooo much from us. She's such a sweet person and you can tell when you talk with her that she wants you to succeed. Hasta pasta!

If you enjoy getting talked to like your 8 years old boy do I have the class for you. Professor Whitt, claims that her class is no harder than any other intro non-major bio class. No greater lie has ever been told. If you are a a senior looking to knock out some common area requirements under no circumstances take this class.

Professor Whitt is a great professor. I am not a science major and had hardly any science background coming into her course. I was so nervous to take a science class. She is very hard but very good at teaching. She makes me wish I took more science courses because she makes the material graspable and so interesting. Take her!

Professor Whitt is the best professor I've ever had at Holy Cross, I'm sad I met her right before graduation. She's very kind, brilliant, and a fantastic teacher. If you're looking for an easy class and not trying to learn, then don't take her course. If you want to learn about biology, I can't recommend her enough, the course was excellent

Professor Whitt talks to her students in a condescending tone and can be an unfair grader in my opinion. I also did not find her particularly approachable. I highly recommend taking this course with a different professor, especially if you are taking it for a requirement and are not super passionate about the material

Professor Whitt's attitude and unapproachability ruined the class for me. She likes to berate students and acts like she's teaching a group of kindergartners ie. calls students 'my little jelly beans'. She speaks too quickly, doesn't teach to sides, and will regularly let one student monopolize her office hours- if you're a so/jr/sr take Paxton.
