Reviews of professor Kimberly Jeckel

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Jeckel is very kind and passionate about what she teaches, but she is not the best at teaching large lectures (she is great to talk to individually). She speaks very fast and mainly reads off of the slides. If you don't meet with her or an LA one-on-one, expect to put a lot of time into basically teaching yourself. Tests were not difficult.

Kimberly is really nice and cares about her students. There is at least two homework assignments a week but they are easy and go fast. The test were a little more difficult, the questions were more about applying what you learned and not actually the content you learned which I didn't feel we were as prepared for.

There is a lot in lectures and the slides repeat themselves a lot so writing them isn't always in your favor. For me tests had information we didn't really learn unless you remembered every random question during lecture that she mentioned once cause those somehow end up on exams. She's super nice but can be snarky about extra credit and activities

Lectures can be a little difficult to follow since she speaks really fast, but all of her slides are posted online so it's easy to go back if you missed anything. Most of your grade comes from exams. However, Dr. Jeckel is very nice!

She cares for her students, but her lectures are long and boring. She just reads from the slides and her tests are extremely hard. My LA was the one who got me through this class.

It was honestly one of the worst courses I've ever taken.Get ready to cry and pull all-nighter's because her tests are way more difficult than the other LIFE 102 professors. She really isn't a good teacher; her slides consist of only pictures and little to no words.  Her study guides are not helpful for the material that the test might have.

She's a good teacher but I found that attending lectures did not help with the homework at all. She said we would not need to use the textbook to do well on the homework which is very wrong. Most of the questions on the homework have nothing to do with what she lectures on. She's a sweet woman and you can tell she loves what she does.
