Reviews of professor Jessica Peterson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Peterson (Welsh) is very nice and passionate about her teaching. Class was easy if you're willing to work with your group and do your stuff. Four speeches per semester and if you need help with them she's more than willing. Made COMS bearable.

Super funny and has amazing stories that connect to the lesson. Heavily weighted group projects but overall no busy work. I would 100% recommend Jessica to everyone she makes class so fun. She can be a harsh grader but gives back really good feedback and gives chances for extra credit!!

There were weekly quizzes off of the reading in the textbook, but skimming the text should be enough to get a 5/5. Jessica Peterson is a understanding professor and is down to earth about the fact that she is teaching a gen ed course. The projects overall aren't that difficult, although the final paper is a bit difficult.

She is a great person, responds fast to emails, and doesnt make class mandatory at all but very tough grader. Shell take many points off your outline for small things. All 4 speeches were done over zoom or video. You will write 2 papers which sucks and online tests about the text book. Overall great person and teacher but HARD GRADER

Shes an amazing professor! Cares a lot about her job & her students! Probably the best professor ive had in awhile! She is a fair grader & gives really great feedback, I wish I could take her class again honestly!

Professor Peterson is a fair grader. This is a college level communications class and she expects perfection. She grades a slight bit easier for speeches given on the first day vice the last day. Great feedback, but doesnt give you specifically when you did said thing. Huge on positive encouragement to your peers before and after speeches.

Professor Peterson is one of my favorite professors at UWL as she genuinely cares about how you're doing outside of class and will take the time to go over material with you outside of class. She is very open to extensions as long as you're honest as to why you need one. A true queen. <3
