Reviews of professor Jennifer Riley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I LOVED THIS CLASS
We did chem labs every week and had mini quizzes every other week; no big practical's! Impossible to get a bad grade if you show up bc the labs basically make up your whole grade for the class. I loved getting to know them, tanner is so personable and i could tell they just loved getting close w my class over the semester

Professor Riley is sweet and seems to enjoy what she does...some of the time. She cancels lab A LOT. Which at first might seem positive, but when you get handed a quiz on a lesson from 2 weeks prior, it's not too fun. She makes you hand in all of your labs and quizzes and lets you review them once they are graded but you can't keep them to study.

She is very thorough in her lab explanations, sometimes they take a very long time. She is super sweet and helpful and the quizzes are not too bad as long as you study.

She Was always full of energy and did try to make jokes. Lab was every week, we never missed class. She thoroughly went over the lab before we did the experiment...but sometimes she talked a lot! We had to do prelab questions before coming to lab which was annoying. Quizzes can be tough. She takes off (IMO) a lot of points for labels and units.

enjoyed the lab, took in summer. like how she related chemistry to other fields. explained topics well and went over lab procedure before each lab. labs were fairly easy. quizzes straightforward, ask her what they cover and she'll tell you what to study. overall very good instructor.

Pretty good overall. However, I had to deduct a few points because her attendance with the lab was lackluster at best. We ended up missing about 3 or 4 classes in a 15 week period, and I feel this negativity affected my grade.

The lab was tough at first because she's a tough grader. She's picky with units so make sure you label everything! She does have a sense of humor and will answer questions if you have any. Quizzes can be tough too, so make sure you review the board notes and lab book.

Prof. Riley is a good professor. However, she was absent for family reasons a few times, and rarely had us engage in outdoor lab activities. It was her first time teaching ENVR-107, but the labs/tests were made easy. I would recommend any future students just encourage more time in class for activities. Also, I hear she is great for CHEM.

Prof Riley does seem to rush through lab but she lets you work in a group setting to do your lab. She drops the lowest lab and quiz grade which helps. You need to be present for class in order to pass because labs are only accepted a few hours after class, which i think is fair
