Reviews of professor Jenna Loyd

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Loyd was so boring and the weekly quizzes were way too specific/challenging. Lectures are 75 minutes and absolutely drag by, Dr. Loyd is so monotone and boring when she could be enthusiastic and make content actually interesting. Geog 101 had many interesting units/topics however the delivery was awful and slow.

Good at fostering discussions to understand the material.

I would not recommend taking a class with Prof Loyd. She is monotone, which tend to make her lectures boring. You will get far more out of the class from the discussion section if you have a good TA. There is a lot of reading and writing for this class, but there is only one exam (which there were issues with in my semester).

Professor Loyd was not a bad person at all, but she was not the most entertaining lecturer. She also does not post lecture slides anywhere. The subject is really not bad, and it is obvious she is knowledgable, but her lectures were not easy to pay attention to. The readings were not interesting. Go to lecture and you can get an A.

Very dull and boring lectures despite the topic actually being pretty interesting. The class consists of one large final paper that is essentially most of your grade. You will be assigned weekly reading which you will probably find unnecessary - same with the lectures (they have nothing to do with the final paper). Take a different COMM-B class

I really dislike this professor. Her lectures never have a solid argument or focal point and the way she connects unrelated topics is always sloppy. The topics presented loosely relate to anything geographic. If you want a geography class, please know this is not what you are looking for. After the first week, only about 1/5 came to lecture. Pros:

I've seen a lot of ratings from last fall saying there are a lot of pop quizzes but as of this semester she doesn't do them anymore. Anyway there's still a lot of reading but so I've heard it's not as intensive as it once was. I personally enjoyed this class, but don't take it if you expect to learn anything about urban planning.

Professor Loyd somehow managed to make an already confusing topic even more confusing. Lectures are painfully long and slides are not posted. There are no exams, just confusing quizzes with long essay questions. There are much easier and more intriguing Comm-B classes at UW. AVOID THIS CLASS!

 For a 101 course that should have been interesting, Dr. Loyd somehow made it one of the most mind-numbing, boring and confusing courses I have even taken.  The quizzes were way harder than they should be due to the wording used and tested on small, random details from readings or things said out loud in lecture. AVOID THIS CLASS at all costs.
