Reviews of professor Jenne Westberry

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If all you want out of the course is to get an A, go for it. If you actually want to learn neuroscience, avoid Dr. Westberry. Her grading policies are comically lax while her lectures are mediocre. You won't learn much. You will get an A. On the other hand she is very nice and supportive. I guess it depends on what you want to get out of it.

Her lectures are good, she explains well but she does go a bit fast. Exams are doable and you can correct wrong answers for half the points back. Grading is fair. She is funny and passionate and has great stories. If you participate, she likes it.

Incredibly sweet and understanding person. Dr. Westberry honestly just wants her students to understand the material, she isn't all about grades. If you genuinely try and ask questions, you will do great.

I have pretty much taken a majority of my Neuroscience courses with Dr. Westberry and it has been nothing but the best, she really wants you to do very well the class and is willing to help any way she can! Her exams, quizzes, presentations are graded FAIRLY and I highly recommend her!

I have been taking courses with Dr. Westberry for over 2 years and enjoyed all of them. She can be very disorganized but wants you to do well. Exams are doable and offers extra points back on things you may have missed.

She has a big character, super bad ADHD, which makes her class and her very unique as a whole. Easy grader and genuinely cares about you. She is very knowledgeable, and I believe taught at a medical school prior to St. Thomas, great resource for research/pre-health stuff. The more you engage and ask questions the more you will get out of the class.

I took Dr. Westberry's Epigenetics class and loved it! Truly an interesting class and Jenne is very passionate about the subject. You are given roughly 2-4 papers to read for each class with a quiz and have one 20-40 min presentation on one of the papers. This is all very FAIR and Jenne is always willing to help you if you need it. Great class!
