Very, Very funny. I love this class, she explains everything very well

Jennings is an amazing professor, cuts out all the needlees BS they taught us in High School and she gets right down to the details that are going to be on the test. She can seem to be rather condesending, but thats because she doesnt care about pointless information. Lets just say i never cared about bio before her class! Take it, you'll love it!

Dr. Jennings is my favorite teacher! Her test are easy and so is anything else she assigns. She's real down to earth and one of the coolest teachers I know. I wish every teacher was more like her. You Rock!!!

Good professor! She knows her stuff. Didn't use the book much, but there were quizzes on the text book website which you could easily pass using notes. Exams are easy if you read over notes and do the study guide. Overall pretty cool teacher!

She was a great professor. I found her class interesting and informative and if the class was still confused then she was willing to go over the material again. Interesting sense of humor.

I really think Dr. Jennings is a good teacher, the real problem was that this was her first year teaching. As the semester went on I think she got alot better. The exams were pretty easy, and you have to keep track of the online homework, but other than that I feel that it was a pretty good class.

she was nice, and she knew what she was teaching. Her tests and quizes were easy. All you have to do is memorize the class notes that you took ( she basically tells you what to write) and do the online hw questions

Great Proffessor!!! I enjoyed her class a lot. She knows her Biology. I would recommend her any day. She gave us study guides right before the exams to study. If you study them, exams are easy.

Consider this, I failed Bio 101 last semester with a horrible teacher. Now I have Jennings and I'm passing with almost flying colors! From what ive heard about other teachers, I would say she is one of the best. Online work brings up your overall grade. Show up to class, read the book, and take good notes, Youll do fine.

Dr. Jennings was an okay teacher. She was new to VCU so she was a little lost. SI sessions and online quizzes helped a lot. She's a little crazy, but it's impossible not to pass. Go to class, do your work and it's an easy A!

Easy class. It can get a little tricky at photosynthesis but the class has really great TAs so go to the study groups if you don't understand something. She's a decent teacher, but she apologizes for biology too much. She doesn't seem proud of what she's teaching. Articles were annoying. Tests were easy. Good class. Good teacher. Easy A.

She's an awesome teacher, but don't talk when she talks. That's all.

The class is easy just as long as you do all the blackboard quizes (you can take them over) clicker and discussion questions..and COME TO CLASS! Shes gives tons of extensions and extra credit. The exams are not as hard as she makes the lectures, and about 1/2 the questions come from the quizes. Plus, if you get an 'A' or 'B', the final is optional.

Great teacher!!!! She is always willing to help and give extra credit. If you do the homework quizzes and go to class you are guaranteed an A or B. I am a bio major and she is the best biology teacher I have had so far.

Dr. Jennings is an awesome teacher. Recommend her 100%

LOVED her! She made a 300 student lecture seem like a small conversation. She's very clear on what she expects and doesn't throw trick questions at you.Uses blackboard extensively and that's to your benefit. Show up to class/do hw on blackboard and you're set.My favorite instructor so far!

I can't say one bad thing about her! There's so much room to make up extra points and the quizzes make up almost the entire test. Just print out the quizzes with the correct answers and you're set. She has an awkward sense of humor but she makes the class very enjoyable. TAKE HER CLASS :)

I never thought I'd like biology.

I hate biology but I LOVE this teacher! She is clear about what she expects. She is pretty laid back. In a class of 200, you have to pick up your own slack, but she seems like the kind of person who roots for you to do well. Sometimes she goes through things kind of quick, but for what I thought was a boring subject, she kept it interesting.

she is a great teacher. biology is my major so obviously it thought i would like the class but i know that biology can become a boring subject (even for me) at times. she keeps her classes interesting. the tests are a little tricky sometimes but if you know the clicker questions previously asked and the quizzes from blackboard you are going to get

Great teacher! Funny and helpful.

She is the easiest one. she will allow you to take the quizes twice or more. so, you can end up with perfect scores in the quizes. she never throws tricky questions in the exams. Just review previous quizes and clicker questions and you will rock the exam.Go with jennings and you won't be regrated.

professor jennings is pretty. i got C's on my exams but she gives out so many quizzes, forum discussions, clicker questions and everything else in the world to help you out. So even though my exams averaged out to C's I'm pretty sure i'm leaving with a high B or low A in that class. do your work!

Jennings is nice enough. The class lecture is an hour and 15 min, she rushes through to get out early at the expense of you being able to get all of the notes. The exams get progressively easier as the semester progresses. For a bio class it could be worse.

Wow, am surprised Jennings doesn't get higher ratings. Course is incredibly easy. I studied roughly an hour for each of the progessively easier exams and got all A's. She gives CPS for attendance, and online quizzes that you can retake 2 or 3 times. As an individual, Jennings is funny and prepares you well for exams.

Plant Class~ loved it!!! You do not have to buy the book but the pics will help you out~and if you need additional help she will work with you! EASY A+! Although I am a Bio major I still only studied for 1 hour for my final and got an A+!

Easy class. She uses clickers but you don't have to get the answers right, has online homework quizzes that are easy and are put straight on the exams, and forums discussions that are interesting. She gives you so many chances to get a good grade. Tests definitely got easier throughout the semester. Take her!

Dr. Jennings was very helpful! If you go to class and do the CPS questions and review the material from lecture you'll get an A! She's also very helpful! TAKE HER!!

TAKE HER!!!! She is really laid back and will make your life easier. She gives quizzes online and you have three chances on each one. I highly recommend her. I also like her sense of humor, shes adorable.

She is awesome! Keeps the student entertained the whole time. She is very clear, and does not use a text book. shes big on the clicker so go to class. lots of personality tests are not too bad at all.

She is a great teacher and I'm basically that all I have to say. Take her!!

Dr. Jennings was great. I am not a bio person and was less than thrilled about having to take this class, but she made it simple, fun, and relevant to everyday life as much as possible (even to us science haters). Quite clear, straight forward, and VERY easy to take notes from, and study for. If you like order, you'll enjoy this this class.

Very friendly and helpful teacher. Gives much extra credit and assignments to make up for quizzes and tests. Fair grader. She explains material well, but cant exactly link it all together.

Very boring class, but pretty straightforward with material. Provded online quizzes to reinforce material. Study your notes and DONT buy a textbook. Bring your clicker everyday, (she gives points just for answering the questions)

This class was boring and a waste of time. The only reason I didn't get an A was becuase I was too bored to care about the class. Bring your CPS... she uses it religiously and takes attendance with it. DON'T BUY THE BOOK!!! Easiest BIOL professor so I've heard but look elsewhere if you want a challenge. I wasn't impressed...

I took AP Bio on high school, so this class is mostly a review -> still, she's made a lot of things much clearer than my high school teacher! :-D

She's a really great teacher! She keeps you engaged and is very smart and entertaining. She seems intimidating but she's actually really down to earth and nice. Awesome professor!

She is the most nicest biology professor I had so far. She really wants her students to get a good grade, and she does everything she can to make sure you get a good grade. She knows very well that no one is really interested in knowing about plants, so she makes it very interesting! Great professor!

She's really awesome! She's funny. Her exams are not that hard, nor easy. She tells you to read the textbook, but you really do not even need a textbook. You will love bio!! TAKE HER(if you can)!!!

She loves the subject! The tests are somewhat easy, most come from the online quizzes and others come out of nowhere sometimes! CPS and online quizzes are a BIG part of the class. LOVES helping students out. Only extra credit opportunities are questions on the exam. I suggest that everyone takes her

Her class is pretty easy and she is pretty entertaining/funny at times, but her lectures were extremely confusing sometimes. I got much more out of the book and online quizzes than lecture. But still, she's a cool teacher.

she uses test questions that are given online for quizzes......... and all those questions were about 70% of the final.. and about 30% of the regular tests. so if you do the quizzes, youll know a lot of the test questions.. shes good people too, down to earth and curves grades.....

Go to class, get an A. Skip a couple, get a B, Never show up except for tests, get a C. You would have to WORK HARD at failing to get lower than a C... Very disorganized, but interesting, fun, and cares about what she is teaching. Will alter the lecture to cater to students iterests!

Her exams are very detailed. She makes alot of senarios on her exams therefore you need to know more than the definition. When taking her you need to know everything inside and our

she made me really like biology. (i HATED it) she is so easy to understand and she tells you what you need to know. and she is really helpful if you want help. TAKE HER!!! she is really good.

She is passionate and her tests are easy and straightforward, she does throw in some confusing questions here and there but often puts bonus. Her exams are based off her lectures as opposed to the text. She wont ever throw any weird questions at you with out warning you about them. She offers buffer grade with her clickers and in class activities.

She's a great professor and is very animated in lecture. She gives you the tools to get an A (Powerpoints are posted online) but make sure you take note of what she says. Clickers. Online quizzes you can take an unlimited amount of times. TAKE HER.

Dr. Jennings is great. Her class was the best. If u need a upper level BIO course, take Plant Development. As long as you study for the exams you should be fine. Also, Keep up with the notebook, lots of people didn't do them and ended up with B. She is very understanding and will Help you if you need. Take her for Plant LAB also if u get a chance.

One of the best teachers @ vcu. If you need to take this class get her! Helpful, powerpoints, funny, and great teaching style. I could've gotten an A if i had study more. I in the end got a B because i finally decided to study and earned an A on the last two test. An A as in i only miss about two questions. STUDY and you got it :)

Record all her lectures and take notes on just what she says, use the links she posts on blackboard if something confuses you. And most importantly STUDY! I did all this and got an A :)

She's one of the only bio professors I've had that is passionate about the subject. She does come off a little impersonal but I think it's more attributable to her no-nonsense attitude than the "coldness" people are talking about. Her method of teaching is very straight forward and understandable.

Attend every lecture, record all what she's saying, copy ppt after class and use test bank questions from the book-half of questions on exam are from there and the other half is from the NOTES! If you do that you will get an easy A! Her lectures are interactive, and involve group activities sometimes. She's really nice and has good sense of humour

Need to listen to what she actually says and not so much whats on the power points. Tests are not easy and are weighted differently. I had to work really hard in this class but im glad i did, i ended up getting a A on her final and in the class. She is also very willing to help her students!

She's a great professor. I love lecture and she really knows her stuff. It's just a shame that she seems to dislike teaching so much.

Dr. Jennings is a really great professor who knows her stuff well and tests you fairly on exams. She's also pretty cute for her age and would highly recommend her to others

BRING A RECORDER, and rewrite everything she says! Everything she says is on the tests. People fail this class because they just copy her powerpoints (which are very vague). take my advice and record her and listen to the recording. Go to class and do all the clicker questions, these boosted up my grade by a letter!

Knowledgable professor. Read the material before class if you can and notate everything she says in class. Study for every test, as she doesn't drop tests. However the final should be easy if you look over previous tests.

She is a good teacher...just a little scattered. I would take a class with her again.

She is one of the better BIO professors at VCU. Reading the book is a must, as she tests on things not mentioned in class. Plus there are plenty of homework and classwork so that you can get Bs on exams and get an A in the class.

Jennings is the best BIO 151 professor, and much better than Jill Reid from what I heard from friends. Her tests are very manageable, as long as you study notes and the textbook. Clickers are easy and show up on test; classwork helps boost your grade. The one thing I hate is Eating the Sun- it seems pointless and irrelevant to lecture material

Attendance is very important. She posts her slides on Bb but they aren't nearly as much detail as what she talks about. At times she is very disorganized but is very engaged in the subject. Her tests are very tricky so it is important you know the material backwards and forwards. Study hard and go to class and you'll do fine.

Biology is a hard class in general. You have to STUDY if you want to do well but Jennings IS A BOSS, SO TAKE HER!

I took Jennings for biology 151 and easily got an A. Her tests are not extremely hard, although she likes putting application questions and tricky questions. I never got lower than a B in all her exams. She gives plenty of extra clicker points and classworks points to boost your grade.

Very good teacher. Must take careful lecture notes based on what she says instead of her slides. Read the textbook to reinforce the general concepts you learn in class, but don't worry about the specific details in it. Do yourself a favor and ace all Mastering Bio/ HW assignments and enter an answer for all clickers...your final grade will love you

Def the best prof for this course. Take good notes in class and skim the book. Her tests are straightforward except for a couple application questions. Even if you get Bs on her tests, your classwork grade can really boost your grade. Take her over the others! I got an A.

A very reasonable professor whose tests are very manageable. She is very funny at times and really knows the material well. She can be a bit rude when you ask her questions during tests, but otherwise she is a fair teacher. I would definitely recommend her. Got an A!

She was so informative during lecture I didn't even need to read the book. She also gives GREAT study hmwk on masteringbio with a lot of helpful videos. Her tests were tricky at times, but after a while you'll get a hand of her test writing style and ace them. She also gave extra credit at the end of the semester and I didn't have to take a final!

Very helpful! Used all of the books so you know your money is not being wasted. You can tell she really loves the subject. Tests are pretty hard, but if you study you should do well in the class. She makes sure that you learn a lot!

I had her for the Fall 2011 semester as well. On the contrary, I thought she was a good professor. If you take solid notes based on what she's saying and look over the textbook for background, you'll do well on her tests. And if you go to class and do the Mastering Bio, you'll be rewarded with a nice grade boost at the end! Got an A pretty easily!

the people who are complaining about her are just plain LAZY. her class is 50% homework/classwork, 50% tests. you must be super dumb to not get an A or B. she is very good at lecturing - her ppts don't really help but just take detailed notes on exactly what she says and you'll do fine! also, reading before class is very helpful. highly recommend

My tips for Dr. Jennings: 1. do the reading BEFORE class. 2. If you do not like group work, then you will have to get used to it, but most of the time she grades in-class work just for effort. 3. come to class. and 4. take detailed notes and drill the fundamentals in your head.

Go to class, do the assigned readings and assignments and you will do fine. She is very reasonable and a great teacher!

She is so interesting. The class is hands on. If you go to her lectures, sit up front, do the homework & give it some out of class study time, I don't see how you could do poorly. She is an awesome teacher. She'll keep you on your toes, & try in every way to help you succeed.

Jennings is an excellent teacher for 151. Although she does rely on the book for alot of her material she does make sure that the difficult stuff like photosynthesis is covered thoroughly and clearly. She is very interactive and likes to hear from the students. most of your grade is based on attendance though so GO TO CLASS

Jennings is not exactly a bad teacher, it's her teaching style that is so "bad". She does not have lectures, but she does have group work and really great online quizzes/homework. The online questions are basically the same as the test questions. If I can score 110% on the Final Exam, her class is not that hard. It just takes a lot of outside work.

People say she's bad but they're probably just not used to her personality and style. If you go in with an open mind, it's pretty easy to do good. There's a lot of assignments which makes it easy to maintain a higher grade unless you just don't pay attention. Sometimes even tells you the exact test questions.

Really, she gives a lot of assignments but most are easy if you read. She does clickers daily. The tests are straight from the homework and readings. She makes the class so much more interesting. I would've gotten a higher grade had I read.

The tests are extremely hard but the amount of hw that you do in this class balances out the tests. You do the hw assignments as many times as you want and she takes the highest score. So obviously just do until you receive 100! She does the best to help student count was very large. Answers emails very quick and accurate.

This class was super hard and Dr. Jennings won't make it any easier for you. There were couple of online multiple-choice questions that had nothing to do with the material covered. Her in-class short answers exam kills your grade, yet they are not impossible. VERY HARD CLASS but definitely worth it.

She is quite passionate about her work, specifically environmental subjects. The main focus of her grading is online "review quizzes" that have unlimited tries up to a specific day, but there are a lot of them. Around the beginning of the semester you create a group of 3-4 people in the class and work with them every lecture, which sucks.

One of the easiest bio classes if you stay on top of readings and quizzes. I wish I could take her again

This class in half online half in the class. Her lectures are mostly a review of the readings on BB, but showing up to class really does help because she gives Tophat questions and worksheets. 50% of your grade is tests and the other half is participation. Every week she has 3 homework assignments on BB that you can retake until you get a 100.

You should expect to put forward 90-100% of your effort into this class. Follow along with the readings, always do the review questions as test review and always get 100% on the practice tests because they will save your grade in the end. Jennings is a very fair professor and her lectures are extremely useful so class attendance is recommended.

Professor Jennings is great. I wish I could have had her again for BIO 152, but the seats for her section filled up fast. Her exams have an online MC portion which are 70% of your exam grade and a short answer which are 30% of your exam grade. Her class is doable if you put in the effort. If I actually studied for exams I could have gotten an A.

She's a great professor. The tests are 50% of your grade and participation is the other 50%. There is a lot of reading from the textbook, but it's online and provided for free through her blackboard. You'll have to buy tophat. The multiple choice portion of the test is online and the short answer is in class. She'll hint at test questions in class.

I think she was great lecturer for 151. Everyone who shows up to class and puts in some effort will definitely get the grade they worked for. However for 152, her teaching style was not very compatible with mine and I l felt that her lectures had no content(but still go!). Also keep in mind she doesn't round (an 89.8 is a B!).

Dr. J was fun and engaging. She worked with my schedule outside of class because all of her office hours were when I had another class.

Bio is hard regardless of the teacher. Jennings does 50% participation/50% test average. The participation is an easy 100 comprised of online quizzes (which you can retake) + in class activities. For the tests, 70% of it is taken online and at home, 30% in-class. She is a competent lecturer and gives plenty of opportunities to earn extra points.

Providing lots of EC, she really wants everyone to succeed and get As/Bs. I ended up loving my "group" by the end of the semester (despite being shy!) A LOT of work has to be done outside of this class- A hybrid course. But the grade you earn is honestly you. Not her. She gives many opportunities and truly cares. Visit during office hours!!

Professor Jennings is the best teacher I've ever had in my life. I hated biology in high school but became passionate about and I learned how to push myself and work harder. I highly recommend Jennings as a professor to all who are looking for a challenge. This class isn't easy if you do not put in the time and effort but I have learned a lot.

For me, I never got much out of lectures and didnt pay attention most of the time unless it was a worksheet, but still go to class. Doing the readings with careful note taking is how I did well, and get As on all practice questions. She pays attention to small details, so read! Be very detailed in your short answers, more is better than less.

You have to work with a group that you get to pick for worksheets that ends up being a good chunk of your grade so do not skip. Helps even more if you go to office hours to get her to explain something in more detail. She will not round your grade but gives you some chances to earn points that go toward the your overall grade. Very helpful and nice

Average/serviceable lecturer. Where she shines is her online blackboard based review material. I've never had a teacher with as well laid out course material. Every unit has practice HW questions on assigned reading with clearly labeled due dates, with unlimited attempts. If possible, take her sections with Dr. Moore who is a fantastic lecturer.

Shes not hard if you pay attention. Theres a heavy homework load but not bad if you manage time wisely and be on top of assignments due dates.

Shes a great teacher and gives you time to make up assignments if you miss them. You don't have to always show up for class but if you don't there is assignment you must complete blackboard. Make sure you do the black board assignments and do them until you get the highest grade because she takes the highest one. I loved her she was the best!

Dr Jennings was honestly a great professor. She slides in jokes throughout the lecture, and truly understands that people get distracted in class. The test covers the lectures, and the readings. The test are not easy, but her grading scale it makes it so that you can bomb the tests but still get a good grade.

She is one of the few professors who actually makes the final based off the last few chapters instead of cumulative like every other test. She is very caring and if you sit down with her, asking for help, she will without a doubt sit and help you understand the material. Make sure you sit in the class and are quiet/pay attention/do tophat! Loved!

At first, I wasn't sure about this class, but I learned to love it. It is not an easy A class, but it does help you learn a lot. She has online readings that act as a textbook. All the test information comes from these readings, so make sure to take detailed notes for each one. She's a good grader with high expectations from her students.

BIOL151 is really challenging but as long as you put in the effort in Jennings' class you will get an A. There were 4 tests total. All 4 were super hard. Try your best from the very first test since that is the easiest one! The 3rd test is the hardest IMO. She assigns one or two reading every 2-3 days and if you want to do well, take lots of notes!

Jennings is a great professor. SI Sessions helped a lot. Don't expect to learn directly from the lecture, it is just meant to supplement the reading. Very manageable class as long as you stay on top of your readings and practice quizzes.

The most important thing to do well in this class is to understand the readings VERY well. Its more than just memorize, u have to be able to connect concepts. She gives u enough assignments to buffer test grades. It should not be hard to get an A if you are able to answer all the learning goal questions on tophat readingsand do all the hw on time.

I had Dr.J for bio 151 as a freshmen and why her class does require work she wants everyone to succeed. The online readings are super easy and you can do them over and over to get 100%. Her test are only difficult because she actually expects you to know the material on a deeper level then just facts. Over all an amazing person and professor.

I had Dr.J when I was a freshman and reading some of these reviews they are very biased. She is one of the most honest people I have ever met. She will NOT round your grade and she tells you that from the jump. You earn the grade you get. If you go to class and do the work it is not a hard class. She really cares and is always willing to help!

Dr. Jennings is my favorite professor at VCU. She does not read off the powerpoint, enforces group work, is hands-on and tests are simple if you finish all the work. She has made me fall in love with Biology and her lectures continue to prove worthy in all Biology courses. Dr. J is easily approachable. Take her, do the work, pass, and be happy.

I took conservation bio with Dr. Jennings and got an easy A. Class structure was a little confusing, and most assignments were graded the week before graduation which was kind of scary, but overall the work was easy. Lots of group work, a final project, a few presentations, and some homework. Definitely recommend!

Dr. Jennings is the best for BIOL152. Dr. J is is here for the students more than ANY other professor on campus. Her tests are tough but you've already seen the questions and she is extremely helpful in Office Hours. She's my favorite professor on campus. If you take away anything from these ratings, it is that Dr. Jennings is the best. MUST TAKE!!

BEST PROFESSOR ON CAMPUS! Definitely take Dr. Jennings for any course you can, especially Quant Bio - she is extremely intelligent and very helpful! Her once-a-week lecture helps you exceed in this course and Dr. J's extensive knowledge at times helps you in other classes! She has a good sense of humor and is an amazing professor. She gives EC too!

Honestly, a lot of these other ratings have been pretty biased. I've taken Dr. Jennings in various courses across the semesters and have been able to perform well in all courses. Although she can be strict with her policies, she is extremely caring and sets you up for success. If you do the work, you will definitely do well in the class. Take Dr. J

Dr. Jennings is the best. I am not joking, some people have given dumb reviews and didn't focus in their first/second semesters which caused them to do poorly in her classes. Dr. Jennings is tough; go to her office hours, go to lecture, learn from her and you will be set for the REST of your Undergrad Biology. You will never regret taking Dr. J :)

If you take her suggestions on how to study for her tests seriously and go to office hours, you will be fine! She uses your feedback in office hours to tailor the class to you. Study a little bit every day to make it more manageable, don't cram all of your studying into the week before the exam, spread it out. Her study guides HELP YOU.

Dr. Jennings truly cares and wants all of her students to do well. Due to the adjustment of online learning, classes have been difficult and she has altered many aspects of it to benefit everyone. She listens to all suggestions and provides us with many resources such as study guides, in-class guides, readings, and several practice quizzes.

For lecture, she provides note taking guides to help organize the information because it can be a lot sometimes. For exams, do the study guide because a large chunk is fully understanding the material and being able to apply it. She also listens to students' opinions and will adjust things to benefit the students if it's reasonable.

Dr. J is one of the sweetest & understanding professors I've ever had. While her class is heavy on quizzes & exams, she often curves exam grades & give multiple opportunities for extra credit. She will help you if you need it. I most definitely had to work for my grade in this class, but Dr. J made it easier with all the extra credit opportunities.

Dr. J's teaching style includes using diagrams/examples to help you APPLY information instead of lecturing from slides. This helps me remember the content so much better. Dr. J is lenient with late work and gives you opportunities to get an A with group work, homework quizzes, dropping two quizzes (no exams). The quizzes are straight-forward.

Dr. J's class was for sure a wake up call for me, but I've learned so much about myself and my own study habits from her course. Her quizzes are not very easy IMO, but if you put in the time to study a little everyday, you will be good to go for an A. Class is half quizz grades and half assignments.

Jennings is a caring professor and will help adjust things based on what feedback she gets from her students. The textbook is given free online. Her quizzes are hard but she wants you to actually understand the content. I recommend going to her office hours. She records her lectures and draws diagrams to help us.

Dr. Jennings's class was the most fun class I had this semester. She's really passionate about what she does. No textbook but she gives out readings for every topic. DO THE READINGS BEFORE EACH CLASS! it would be much easier to understand the concepts. No final exam. 7 difficult quizzes & drops 2. Reach out to her when you're stuck, SHE WILL HELP.

Hard professor but learned a lot.

Dr. Jennings is one of the best biology professors you will find at VCU and you will get an A if you take notes on the readings and attend the lectures. Quiz questions are related to concepts from the readings and lectures. The only downside to the class is the homework load, but it helps students understand concepts more thoroughly.

Jennings is a great professor and she genuinely wants her students to pass! Her class is half quizzes and half group assignments, which makes it easier to get an A! If you do the readings/Q sets, participate in class, and go to office hours, then your set! Her quizzes aren't that bad, just look over her study guide + Q sets and you'll do great!

I love Dr J and will take her as often as possible in the future. Her lectures are passionate and engaging and, despite large class sizes, she manages to interact with students well. Her online material is well laid out. The quiz questions come directly off of the reading question sets. Do the readings, go to class, you'll pass. Take Dr. Jennings.

I struggled a lot in her class this semester. While we don't have a final, the quizzes are brutal and are barely related to what she says for us to study. There are so many homework assignments, readings (no textbook), and group work that will absolutely confusing. She's a very kind person though.

Excellent professor. Readings are long, quizzes are hard, but professor teaches well and her class is very flexible making for a really good experience. Thoroughly enjoyed it :)

You just need to be doing all the work to get a good grade in this class. I would highly recommend her as she only has quizes and no tests plus she lets you have credit on group assignments!

I loved Dr. J. Your grade in the class is 50% assignments (which are based on readings, and you get like 5 attempts per assignment) and 50% quizzes. To learn the material, it takes a lot of time outside of class because she barely lectures. She usually covers like 30% of what will be on the quiz in class. There is also lots of group work in class.

Dr. J is a great professor! Bio is a tough class, but the readings are not at all too heavy. You have maybe 3 readings per week, which didn't feel like too much at all. Dr. J was more than accessible and offered time to meet if needed! Her lectures take some getting used to, but GO to class. I rec taking paper notes! But I had a great experience!

You can tell Dr. Jennings is passionate about what she teaches and I really enjoyed her class. The harsher reviews on here don't make much sense to me personally, but obviously this is a matter of preference! There are a lot of grades for this class and most canvas assignments have no due date and multiple attempts.

Easy A class, 50/50 %s for assignments and quizzes. Do your readings, q sets, and go to class. You only need 80 percent on quizzes to get A in class. There are 3 retakes for 6 quizzes, which is exact same quiz. Go to office hours to see check what was wrong on quiz. Amazing professor.

Jennings for quant bio was the easiest class/prof to take. All were quizzes (online w/notes), group projects, and summative assignments. If you do the work you'll get an easy A! We always met every Wednesday's and you need to complete the assignment before. She let's you retake all quizzes and assignments for you to succeed. Take her!!!

Easiest Quant. Class!! Lots of group assignments so beware. You have to show up to class to get a grade for the in-class assignments. Graded the assignments out of 20 and was really annoyed about it (if it wasn't perfect then you would get a 1/20). But was very lenient about assignments. DON'T FALL BEHIND ON YOUR MODULES!!

Do not trust the ratings. She was one of the best professors I had ever taken class with. New technique of teaching which provides such a peaceful environment in class. She had 6 quizzes in total and no tests. Retake one out of each 3 quizzes. Go to her office hours. Talk to her if you're struggling, she is very understanding and caring.

the class is mostly group work related the whole semester with a lot of assignments and quizzes and readings but it is not too hard to get a good grade in the class at all

Jennings is probably the best professor to take Quant if you are interested in taking it over the summer. You can do the work at your own pace, you have multiple attempts on Question sets, no tests/quizzes & most of the answers to questions are found in the text. Have good time management & read the lectures!! & you will get an A.

Has a "reverse classroom" where you learn outside of class with HW assignments on Canvas (usually a video or reading with questions). Rarely lectures in class; instead, puts you on teams to do group work most classes (you stay with the same team all semester and can request teammates). No tests & no final, just quizzes and you can retake 2 of them.

Her classes were mostly group projects which made it easy to stay engaged and gain an understanding of topics. She assigns a lot of work through canvas but if you do them thoroughly and stay on top of it, it's easy work. She allowed late work so it's easy to catch up even if you did fall behind. She also provides lots of help outside of class.

One of the best professors in the bio department and genuinely cares about your success. Also provides an appropriate amount of work and is aware that students are busy. Very flexible with late work.

Flipped classroom, do all assignments and need 79-80 quiz average for a A with 100s on all assignments (usually have multiple attempts- DO THEM). Weekly modules have study guides which are the most helpful to prepare for quizzes (no tests and only 6 of them- one about every 2 weeks) Can retake 1 of the first 3 and 1 of second 3 (Retakes- same quiz)

Dr. Jennings is a professor that aims to make you learn through working together with others. For her class, make sure to actually participate in class, it counts as attendance and it helps with the tests. She gives the opportunity to retake 2 tests which definitely helps, but only if you do decently on your first attempts for all tests. Work hard.

Her teaching style may not be for everyone, personally I prefer lectures. Very group work heavy; at times it seems useless but you still had to be present because it was a large portion the grade. She's flexible, all hw had multiple attempts + 100% credit for late work. Can retake 2/6 quizzes (same questions). Assignments and quizzes are both 50%

Engaging class with lots of group work. Easy A if you do the readings and assignments on Canvas. Helpful professor who provides support outside of class. unstuckstudy ai was a great study tool alongside the class resources.

Dr. Jenning's class is tough but manageable. Grading is 50/50, no final, and you can retake 2 quizzes. Most learning is on your own, with classes focused on group work. If your group is bad, you're in trouble, but revisions help. Follow the study guide and take good notes. I struggled but I'd still recommend her unless you prefer lectures.

Dr. J doesn't lecture in class, you will do most of your learning by yourself through modules she posts. Do not take her class if you aren't good at teaching yourself. You will do a lot of group work. Dr. J may seem strict on first impressions, but she's very nice and helpful. Quizzes can be hard, go to office hours and study and you'll be fine.

I loved this class! Dr. J was an amazing professor who made a lot of concepts that never made sense in AP biology click for me. She does give a lot of readings, but they're all quite digestible and don't come from a textbook. There is NO FINAL and you can retake 2 of the 6 quizzes. There's also no late work penalty! 10/10

This class was one of my favorite classes I have taken. We did so many different learning styles that learning the information became fun. She did have a lot of online assignments, but if you use all the attempts and do them on time, then it's extremely easy to succeed in this class. Focus more on understanding the material than memorizing it.
