Reviews of professor Kenneth Jenrow

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Jenrow is very knowledgable and passionate. When I had him (2018) he was still new to teaching in a classroom so the class could have been organized better but otherwise he was always willing to help and make sure we were learning. He is a great resource but you must put in work to take full advantage of his classes.

Very kind and understanding of student's personal lives outside of class. Grades were only based on exams and a very long term paper that was formatted differently than any class I've had before.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is VERY intelligent, but assumes we would know things that are way above anything we have learned. Everyone I have talked to in the course is not doing as well as they want to (and are typically A/B students). He is a good professor, he just unintentionally makes a hard class harder.

Jenrow is very knowledgeable on the subject and incredibly enthusiastic. There's a quiz at the beginning of every class, usually 4 easy questions and 1 more difficult one. Read the book and ask questions if you get lost. He has accessible office hours- use them! He makes it a very interesting class.

Jenrow is extremely smart but ignorant. He goes through lectures way too fast, doesn't give us time to take notes from the powerpoints. He rambles on and gives you no clue about which topics are most important and what to expect on exams. I told him I expected a better grade on a test and he said "work harder" when I got one of the best grades

He's very knowledgable! He gives many examples and has had actual experience in the field. That being said, the grade is based on 17 quizzes (one for each lecture, all worth 5 points) and 6 exams. Studying is vital!

Prof Jenrow is incredibly knowledgeable, and this class isn't hard to do well in as long as you put in the time. Attending class is necessary because of a 5-point quiz at the beginning of class. As long as you read ahead and study the lecture slides, they aren't too difficult. Exams are straightforward and using Cengage MindTap is helpful.
