She means well, but very condescending. Treats you like an adolescent. Threatens to give "pop" quizes to the class for one person showing up late. The biggest problem was moving onto the next section without going over homework questions from the previous section! And way too much homework!

You better keep up. She's fast. She talks fast, skips steps and explains things too fast. She does offer her help though... after class. About 1/3 of your time will be in discussion in some dumb little group she arranges trying to figure out your OWN problem. Groups may create teamwork but what it is is that the teacher is too lazy to teach class

Real chill "Mom". Don't take her class if you're an unfriendly, or shy person - almost every class requires group activity work. Lots of opportunities for bonus points, but they can take a lot of time since they're due by the next class meeting. Tests are homework and group activities, so if you don't do it, and can't work with others...bad grade!

This is an instructor, not a counselor. If you want to talk to someone about "alternatives to the class," see a counselor. She drops anyone who misses more than the number of hours the class meets per week, because that is the college requirement. She has no tolerance for whiners or people with a negative attitude.

Love her!! She's great! Took this class to refresh my memory so it was a little easy but she does a great job explaining each chapter and the test comes right from her homework, but the homework isn't even mandatory. Would take her for any math! Wish I could take the class again!

She is an amazing professor. I attended her math 090/ math 103 class and she completely got rid of my fear of math. Her exams are not too heavy and there are so many points in classwork that she is a perfect professor for someone with testing anxiety. Homework is not mandatory but helps. There are also so many extra credit opportunities!

Jen Denney is an amazing professor! Don't even think twice about it, take her! Her lectures are great! She is very clear about what she expects you to know for tests, and she truly cares about her students. Show her and the class respect by being on time, participating, studying, and you'll do great! She is truly an asset to Grossmont College.

She is an amazing Professor! You will not get bored with her. I just got done taking this class for summer and there's homework but you can work on them in class with your peers to compare answers. She also help you in class if you don't understand the questions. I like how she uses different colored markers to make learning easier.

She's the first professor that really helped me. She has her own way of teaching which really helped me understand the material. She's tough only because she cares if we learn the material. Homework is optional but most tests have problems from the homework and it's probably better if you do it. She's strict on attendance. Its only for your benefit

She does a review before every test and gives study guides (review it!!!). I went from retaking alg2 in highschool twice to being an A student in her class.

This professor was the best math teacher I have ever had. I took stats 3 semesters ago and got a D because the teacher was so terrible. This semester I finished this class with an A. The tests are pretty easy, don't really need the textbook, no homework, and the nicest teacher ever. I 10/10 recommend taking her especially if you struggle in math.

Denney was well MiA the whole semester,only having only 2 zoom meeting. there was a tutor who basically taught and helped the class,modules contained 1 reading, 1 practice and 1 quiz. which only having 1 graded item a week can lead to passing or failing in a snap. quizes were 10 questions which ranged from 1pt to 3pts,so hope to get the 3pts right.

AVOID HER ONLINE. Had 3 zoom meetings, all of which lasted less than 20 minutes, then dropped off the face of the earth until late May, despite the class being synchronous. Instead of lectures, she linked KHAN ACADEMY in modules. The quizzes were irrelevant to khan academy. She's paid to do nothing while we pay for the class. What a joke. :/

A really good teacher. My class was self taught and we barely really met on zoom. She is super nice and does not give out a lot of work, maybe one to two assignments a week. Quizzes are super easy and based off of the given worksheets, the only negative is that she gives no wiggle room for any late work but its whatever, plenty of time is given.

Scared of math? Take this course. Made the content accessible by showing the most relevant parts and then quizzed us on that. Her course just makes sense with how straightforward the workload is! Other instructors need to take a page from her book and simplify their content. Makes it easier to learn. Made me genuinely excited about math!
