Took summer session with her. Clear notes w/ lots of examples. Rarely used text. Attend ALL classes for iClicker marks & example solutions. Will only help on assignments in person. Must have thorough understanding to excel on midterms (Both multiple choice) & final (MC + long answer). Easily one of the best statistics professors. Highly recommended

Jenna is an absolute angel! I am in my third year and would say without hesitation that she is the best professor I have every had. Funny, super-intelligent, and tries her best to keep the lectures interesting. Assignments are fair, easy, and marked within a reasonable amount of time. If you have the option to take any class with Jenna, DO IT.
