She's a student professor for Bennett Schwartz so the course was pretty much taught based off of his syllabus. 13 quizzes 20 questions in 20 minutes The quizzes were very tough She does drop the lowest 4 and there's a memory paper and extra credit I only passed because of her grade curve Wouldn't recommend unless you plan on reading all semester
This class was very tough. She is a student professor for Bennett Schwartz so all the quizzes and tests came from him. She doesn't communicate much with the students so you pretty much have to read and teach yourself. She does curve your grade at the end having to take a 20 question quiz in 20 mins was so nerve wrecking and caused me to fail a few
if you put in the effort you will get a lot out of both the subject matter and the interaction with the professor. She goes above and beyond in helping students with the course and with their future goals. She was very timely in responses and willing to answer questions. She also wrote awesome letters of recommendation for my grad school admissions
Very helpful. Would take her class again.
I did not like her. The class is interesting but she made it so tough. quizzes every week 20 questions in 20 mins, which makes it impossible to get good grades in quizzes and one paper and final exam. I do not recommend taking her.
Professor Houston is a phenomenal professor. Yeah, she can take a bit to answer emails but she is beyond helpful and genuinely wants you to do well in the class. A lot of students complain about how you don't have a lot of time for the quizzes and this is true if you don't take the time to read and understand the chapter. Generous extra credit too!
She's confusing, rarely responds to emails, and the tests are kinda tough (and tightly timed!) I'd still recommend her. U def have to work for grade and take great notes on experiments/results to pass 20 min tests but she's very fair, LOTS of extra credit, &3 out of 10 quizzes dropped. Ensures she wont fail u if she knows u tried. 1 paper also
Fair. Tough tests but good extra credit opportunities. Responds quickly. Would recommend if you're an independent learner.
She's nice outside of class. Real sweetie pie. Tried really hard to captivate the class with Star Wars and Pokemon stuff. But she barely came to class our semester; I can count on one hand how many times we had a full lecture. She gave good exam reviews though. Wouldn't take her again, but she's a cool person, really smart. Class is a breeze.
This professor has an awesome teaching style that is engaging and relevant. The material was clearly presented and this professor was always available for questions and timely feedback. I found this class to be a great learning experience as well as a fun experience. If you want a professor that "gets" you this is a class I would suggest.
I absolutely recommend this professor, she is a great teacher, so passionate about what she teaches you that will make you understand everything easily. She makes this class easy and interesting. You are going to loooove her if you take this class with her. I just wish every professor was like her! Take herrrr!!!
IDK how anyone could rate Jenn poorly. She's the best professor I've had so far in college! she gives awesome reviews and she's really sweet and funny. Class is an easy A just pay attention and go over power points that she emails you every week. Seriously IGNORE the bad reviews cause Jen was awesome all semester long. Id so take her class again.
This class was the best psychology class I have taken yet! Prof. Houston is the most wonderful prof. at FIU. There is 4 test, a final, and a final research paper. It is basically impossible to fail, since she offers extra credit and drops a test grade. Her lectures are entertaining and her test reviews are straight from the test. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Great professor. Cares. Gives Extra Credit. Term paper from a subject in book. Testing is fair. Read the book and test yourself on the book's website and you will do fine.
This class was pretty easy. Consisted of weekly quizzes, one paper, and one final. Would definitely take her again, super interesting.
Wonderful professor... Make sure you take her. Great class plus wonderful professor
Very caring professor with a great sense of humor. Her lectures are easy to get through and often uses videos. Grade is based on exams and a paper but as long as you attend lectures and pay attention you should pass. She ended up canceling a lot of classes this semester, so we didn't exactly follow the syllabus that was my only issue with her.
She is the corkiest prof ever! Easy class. Best exam reviews (themed: mario bros., hunger games, star wars) paper was easy. 3 exams and a final. Material is not so interesting unless you are into it, but come to class, she may give extra credit to you, especially towards the tail end of the semester.
Very sweet lady but alittle unprofessional in that she constantly cancels class, sometimes even at the last minute. Class is very easy, she makes it clear that you don't even have to show up if you read the Powerpoints. Al though the class was easy I was a tad bit disappointed because I learned NOTHING but I got an A so whatever
Shes really an awesome professor. Disregard the negative reviews because shes great. Exams are online and theres a paper due at the end of the semester but you literally have all semester to work on something thats min. 3 pages. 100% Recommend her. Im taking her for senior seminar next semester :)
Her lectures where easy to comprehend and the humor was definitely well acquainted with the lecture material! There were a couple of times where she canceled class due to unexpected events, BUT majority of the class insisted on it! She puts her students first! I am definitely taking her again for senior seminar!
I don't know where those comments came from but, I took her this semester and she was absolutely AMAZING! the sweetest professor every, best exam reviews, and yeah she cancelled class, but only because she was sick! She didn't even tale her birthday off because she didn't want us to fall behind, which we never did.
She's great at explaining things. When ever something is difficult to uderstand, she dumds it down you and not too many professors do that. She like to interact with the class which makes for a great learning environment. Would defiantly take next semester
What are these people talking about??!!! She was magnificent!!! Even when she found out that every one was being sneaky behind her back she didn't give repercussions or even take the exam off line she was more like a parent to us, disappointed and she had every right to be. But she stilled showed us compassion for teaching us and helping us to pass
She is so pleasant and funny!! She genuinely cares for all of her students and has such a big heart! She makes the class lots of fun (her powerpoints were amazing), she makes the best interactive study guides! She uses themes like Star Wars, Super Mario, Pokemon, and so much more to make the learning experience fun and relatable. I loved her!!
Awesome professor. While class was really easy, it wasn't due to her leniency but to the format and the content of the course. The class is very interesting!! And THIS is due to her. She explains the content very well and is able to make us understand it. I must say I got out of this course knowing a lot and I'm happy with taking it. TY very much.
She uses humor & pop culture in lectures which made things informative & entertaining! She missed days but it was due to real life events which is perfectly fine. Not only is she a great professor but shes a kind, genuine soul. She's one of the best professors that I've ever had & I promise if you take her, you will LOVE her! #horseacampus
Professor was a lot of fun and made the class so enjoyable and easy to learn! Even when she had to miss some days, she let us know way ahead of time and we were still able to keep up with all the lectures, exam dates, and stay ahead of schedule. She is super kind and caring and genuinely one of the most amazing professors I've had up to date!
Professor Houston is one of the best I've had at FIU. She knows what she is talking about and makes learning the subject matter fun and enjoyable. She truly cares about her students success and is extremely understanding. Quick at grading and answering emails/questions. Would definitely take again!
Professor Houston is amazing! She is a very fun person and she incorporates a lot of tv shows and cartoons in her pp that relate to the subject to help you "remember" the sections. She is considerate and easy to talk to and also plays games with the class as a review for the exams. I highly suggest taking her!! I would definitely take her again!!
EASIEST Senior Seminar in FIU. 5 assignments that are 5% given based on completion, a research paper 5 pages, and if you fix and adjust your assignments then submit it as a portfolio you get an A. you do one group presentation for a topic and present it for one of the classes and submit discussion questions for the groups to use for presentations!
Great class to take and easy. One paper due at the end of the semester, not hard. 13 quizzes and the final test is 5 short essay on chapters from the book. No weekly assignments you do the work at your own pace. She answers emails pretty fast and very understanding.
She cares for her students and her lectures are inspiring. Great teacher.
Professor Houston is amazing. Well rounded and helpful. Her teaching ethics are superb and you will actually want to go to class if on campus. If online she's also very responsive and has informative visual videos of herself on the subject matter. I have also taken her online for another course. She's what a college instructor should be and more!!
Jennifer is the type of professor you wish Universities had more of. She is such a beautiful and kind hearted person, not to mention super funny as well. Highly recommend everyone to take her, trust me you'll love her too!! Favorite/best professor EVER!!!!
Literally one of the best professors at FIU. She makes the class so simple and interesting. Grades are based on weekly quizzes, midterm, and final. She gives lots of extra credit so if you dont pass that means you didnt even try.
Very easy class. The class is mostly about you and things that can help you in the field. The course is based on discussions, and some papers, which are very easy since they are about you. She is very flexible and caring. Her goal is to help you so you cannot go wrong by taking this class with her.
All assignments were due at the end of the semester, 12 quizzes with two attempts at the quiz and the lowest 2 dropped. One 1,000 word paper due at the end of the semester with the topic of your choice from a list selection. Exam was five questions written response. All students had access to her live streams from her on campus classes.
This course is very similar to EXP3523 as far as the requirements. In my opinion taking the course online was less interesting then the memory course online, however I managed to do very well on each quiz. All assignments are due at the end of the semester however PASS YOURSELF, there's also a 1,000 word paper due at the end as well.
Prof. Houston is AMAZING! I took her for memory and memory improvement during summer & I took her for senior seminar this past fall. All I have to say is that she is a GREAT professor & I wish I had more professors like her! She genuinely cares about all her students! She is a true sweetheart!! I graduated but I would love to be her student again
Going to cut it short, amazing professor, very fun and enthusiastic. The class had 12 online quizzes, an online midterm, and an online final. Both midterm and final were all short answer questions but all the answers could be found in the ppt. Easy class, easy A
12 quizzes, 3 of the lowest grades dropped, 1 paper and 1 final that is open book. she responds to emails very quickly! it is almost impossible to get anything lower than an A! take her!
Jennifer made senior seminar really fun. The main assignments we had were career based, and easy to do. Attendance was not really mandatory, but she appreciated it when everyone came to class. In class we had real life discussions which were very interesting. She is very easy to reach after class, and gives good feedback on assignments. Take her!
This class is very, very easy. There are simple opinion-based weekly discussions and a number of assignments about future plans and things like that. This professor is also super nice! I recommend taking this class when you first start Psychology because it'll really make you think about your path within the field and whether you truly like it.
The class was pretty straightforward. I took it online, and at the beginning of the semester she informed us that ALL of our assignments would be due at the end of the semester, telling us that we could complete everything at our own pace. I liked that. If you dont read the book, you probably wont pass. Most of the material comes from there.
The best professor ever!! She's so cool and nice. The class is based on weekly discussions and a few assignments based on your future. This class taught me a lot not only about having a psychology degree but also about myself. Please take her, you won't regret it. She's awesome!!!
She is an awesome professor. I took this course online and it was not difficult. There was a set date at the end of the semester in which all the work was due, quizzes, a final, and a paper. She lets everyone work at their own pace. However, the quizzes do require a bit of reading on the chapters and the paper was a bit lengthy.
Amazing professor easy A+ Im taking her in the summer right now. There is no reason why you should get lower than a 96. Although it still an A but still.
Professor Houston is simply just the best. She is always available when you have a question, very helpful. I learned a lot in this course. She opens up all assignments but they do have due dates. A few assignments but all durable. You have discussions, a final interview paper. Overall easy class but you must do the work.
Easiest class Ive ever taken!! She was very helpful and straightforward with anything I needed and timely with emails. As long as you do all the work youll be fine. She has YouTube videos of her explaining assignments thoroughly. I would definitely take her again!
Easiest A you will ever get in FIU. She is a great professor and very lenient. I took the class during summer B. All of the assignments are due the end of the semester and if you show up to every class you don't need to write the paper. Only complaint was that she barely taught bc the front row was always asking irrelevant and obnoxious questions.
Definitely one of the best Professors on campus. She teaches in a way that material interesting and fun to learn so you actually look forward to coming to class. Show up, participate, listen to the lectures and you will learn something and enjoy it as well. She creates a comfortable and conducive learning atmosphere that you will enjoy.
All assignment are open at the beginning of the semester, so you could complete the course within the first week. Online course consist of useless powerpoint. Class is not hard, just extremely boring.
Jen was AMAZING! So please do not listen to that person who rated her a 1 because obviously they dont know what they are talking about since they received an A+ in the class... She is a great professor to take your senior seminar, memory and psych career development with! She truly cares about her students and teaches with passion. Ill miss you !
A great professor and easy class, would definitely recommend.
Professor Houston was so helpful, she definitely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Her class is simple and she makes class fun! I recommend taking her!
There are so many reasons why you should take this professor that I don't even know where to begin. Professor Houston is the first and only professor throughout my college career that has displayed both love and care for her students, academically and in overall life. She genuinely wants you to succeed and will do her best to help.
About to wrap up this class now (Spring 2020). Professor Houston has been extremely accommodating & helpful throughout the whole pandemic situation, especially within the last two weeks of class. Without a doubt, I would recommend her to anyone. Weekly quizzes (do-able with textbook), a paper & a final. 5 stars!!!
She is the MOST caring teacher I have had throughout college. During the covid pandemic she really went out of her way to ensure all our needs were met. If you get the chance to take a class with her DO IT. I would literally be her friend she is so sweet! and the way she structures her class ensures the assignments mean more to you than a grade
I think it says a lot about a professor how they deal with certain circumstances and with COVID-19 happening, I felt the need to say she is honestly the most caring professor I have ever had. She wants you to pass with an A. She is flexible, accommodating and inspirational. Overall the class is not hard. Try and you will pass. with an A..
EASIEST CLASS AT FIU, VERY SWEET PROFESSOR SO HELPFUL AND SUPER EASY MATERIAL. TAKE HER!!
Dont think about it just TAKEEE HERRR you wont regret it. She is willing to work with students to ensure their success, she is caring passionate and an awesome human being. Everybody loves herrr!!! I had her for 3 different classes, got A in all of them not because its easy but because she is the best!
The best professor at FIU without a doubt!!
I took my career development class with Dr. Houston last year. Since then, I have been wanting to take another class with her, as she is truly FIU's hidden gem. I am currently Day 2 into her Senior Seminar course, and I had to write this review. She is inspiring and incredible at what she does. Her funny emails make my whole day. Take her! :)
She's a very chill and kind person. This class is easy! There are 12 quizzes but only have to do 10; she takes the top 10 highest scores. There's a final exam and paper. But she gave us a deal which was to choose to do one of them. Get the textbook because you'll need it for the quizzes and final.
Just want to say this, she is amazing.
Best teacher you can find during the pandemic she GAVE us 2 chances to take the test. Even open notes. Quizzes are 30 min. Final is only 5 questions. 60 minutes. You'll definetly pass.
Amazing professor. Seriously cares about her students. I got an email from her that ended like "I hope you're all doing well. Remember that self-love isn't selfish! Your mental health matters!" She is incredible!!
Super cool, open schedule so you can get things done on your own time, very understanding and laid back.
I wasn't a fan of how she didn't bother teaching once. It's basically just up to you and you're teaching yourself. She leaves all the quizzes and paper open all semester so you can do it at your own time.
Awesome professor. I've taken a few classes with her, and some are more participation/discussion based than others. For this class, she left the assignments open all semester so you could work at your own pace. She's very responsive to emails and provides feedback, so if you're struggling with the coursework she's very accessible.
Prof Houston gave me such good vibes in the beginning of the semester in a video syllabus review she made personally for the semester. After that, not much communication but it wasnt needed. The class is REALLY EASY. 4 assignments, 10 discussions, 1 paper & 1 extra credit. All the assignments are about you & your future. How could you fail?
Dr. Houston is the best professor I have had in a while. The assignments are not only super interesting but they also are super easy to do. If you need to communicate with her she is available to answer any questions you may have, she is clear on her grading criteria, and honestly makes the class a really fun environment. I highly recommend taking
I took this class online, it was a very easy class. All the assignments were very easy and if you have any questions just email her. The class work very easy to understand. She opens up all the assignments that way you can do them when you want but there is a due date for each assignment I highly recommend. Easy A and amazing professor.
Assignments are all open at once to work at own leisure. The assignments are so helpful in getting a better feel of what you may want to do careerwise and point you in good directions. I never once felt like I was doing busy work and am so thankful for the assignments as I feel better prepped for what to do to go to grad school and pursue my goals.
She's an amazing professor! This class was very easy. She opens up all the assignments & you work on your own pace (they are due at the end of the semester). There are only 4 assignments (easy), 10 discussions, & a paper. Highly recommend! Easy A course (:
Professor Houston has to be by far my favorite professor Ive taken in all my college career. Highly enthusiastic about the course and motivates students to do well. I took the course online and she provided us with amazing PowerPoints and aids to help with the course load. As long as you do your work, youre guaranteed an easy A.
Shes a very chill professor, makes all assignments due at the end of the semester. The only assignments are unit quizzes and a final paper and exam. If you attend every class, you can choose between the paper or the exam. Lectures are interesting, shes very lenient. Get the textbook!! Only critique is that shes kinda weird with students sometimes
I took Professor Houston for Summer term. We had six quizzes (one is dropped) and a paper. I enjoyed this class so much. Extra Credit short essay (about two pages). I highly recommend taking her. She responds to emails. Remember to watch her syllabus video.
Professor Houston is great. Her assignments were simple and focused on helping students! Not pointless assignment to keep you unnecessarily busy. The class was fun and easy. She's definitely an easy grader. Since assignments are all opinions she gives you a full A just for doing it. Take her!
Easy course but the work is tedious at times. We had 4 assignments and 10 discussions along with a final project interview. She went over everything need for the class in her syllabus video. TAKE HER!!!!
I took the fall mini section and most of us did not do much because of the holydays and started turning in the assignments the last day. what stood out the most for me more than anything, Professor Houston dedicating the entire day to us by grading the assignments and responding to her emails instantly so that we know what grade we were getting.
She was so bad. I wanted to her a zero but that's not possible so I give you a 1. No one has time to read 15+ pages of a research articles and summarize it. Some of us have jobs or kids to take care of. Nice lady though.
I've taken three courses with Dr. Houston. She's awesome! I wish there were more professors like her at FIU
I took her for this class and for EXP3523 and both courses were great! I really enjoyed both classes. The assignments were helpful. She grades very nicely and seems like she truly cares about her students. Take her!
Professor Houston is very understanding. This is the second class I've taken with her and I'm taking another in the fall semester. You'll enjoy her class and it won't cause you stress. I love her class style and you should definitely take her.
She is an amazing professor. I have never encountered a professor that made so much effort to connect with students and get them engaged with the content! For Senior seminar, there are some discussion based assignments, a final paper, and a video project. Very simple, clear instructions, and you get practice reading+ analyzing research articles!
She is amazing!! Simple class. Just take her!!!
13 quizzes (only the 10 best count, 3 get dropped) & 2 attempts allowed per quiz. 1 paper (1000 words). Final exam is open book, no time limit, 2 attempts. She literally doesn't want you to fail. Do the work and you will pass with a guaranteed A. Assignments are open all semester, you could finish the entire class in 1 or 2 weeks if you wanted to.
Easy assignments, interesting information. I would take her again.
Great professor! I really liked this class it had 12 quizzes and one final project; very easy class.
Professor Houston is great and this class is super easy. There are 12 quizzes, the lowest 3 are dropped, and a "final exam". The final exam is a paper where you answer pre-picked questions from each chapter. Everything is open all semester. She's very easy to reach and everything is very straightforward.
This is a super easy class and Prof Houston is great. There are 13 chapter quizzes and a final "exam", all available the whole semester. The exam is a paper, you answer 10 questions (up to 2 extra for extra credit) from a list, and that's it. The material is kinda interesting and slightly useful. It's definitely a solid and easy choice.
She's awesome. Her due dates are flexible which is great because there's a lot of work, but you can do most of it at your own pace. She explains the assignments well too and her lectures are fun. Thx for the sticky hands
Dr. Houston was THE BEST professor I've ever had. She has been one of the only college professors I genuinely felt cared about me, and wanted me to succeed. Taking her for the capstone class of Psychology was the best choice I've made. Yes there's a lot of reading, but this is supposed to be a challenging class, but I always knew she had my back.
She's a queen. Just turn in your stuff and you'll get an A. She cares about students and made this semester a breeze. Just take her
This was my second course with Dr. Houston and I really like this class there were 5 journal, 5 discussions, 5 quiz and the final everything was open till the very end you can take 3 weeks to do the course Dr. Houston is the best
Her class is easy but as a professor she is horrible. In most classes, we spent it talking about other people's problems instead of learning stuff as if I am paying for a class to hear other people's life traumas. Literally had a whole class on it. Assignments were cake never more than a paragraph but final project was six pages long literally dumb
I took her this spring on the Wednesday class only at 2 and it was amazing. Her method of teaching while expressing her human self sets a great relationship between her and her students. My name is Caleb and I am a senior in Psych and she is the one to take for both this class and supposedly her senior seminar is amazing as well! Caring and loving!
absolute best professor. if you can TAKE HER CLASS!! best vibes and best attitude. super easy
I'd DEFINITELY recommend this class. You just have journals and a project. She also has extra credit opportunity. No tests since class is very easy and is focused on helping you what psy career path you want to take. She's a hilarious and fun professor. She cares about her students. Everything be open until end of semester. Can't FAIL, it's EASY.
Professor Houston cares so much for her students, there was not one assignment where she didn't give me feedback, she is very understanding and flexible with turning in assignments, and she also cares for students' mental health. The assignments are very simple and personal, easy to do, and not too time-consuming. TAKE HER CLASS!
Its almost impossible to get anything less than an A in her class. Seriously take her before she fills up! Easy class, not mandatory to show up. Very straightforward. This professor is incredibly nice. She canceled class alot due to personal issues but she was still very easy to reach & very considerate! I'd take her class over & over if I could
I love her. Take any class you can with her because she understands that you're a person with a job and other classes so she's very lenient with assignments. Her lectures are always fun and interactive and she would always bring us little treats/gifts almost every class! I'm taking an extra psych elective just because she's the professor. 10/10!!!!
GREATEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! She was so amazing that I ended up having her as a professor for 5 different classes. Her assignments were manageable and easy as long as you put in the effort. She was funny, understanding, and treats each of her students with respect. If you're a psych major, I say it is absolutely REQUIRED to have her!! 10/10
Such a sweet professor. She really made my semester amazing. She gives out little goodies and overall wants you to have a great time in class. Attendance is graded, but not a huge portion of your grade. The tests are a bit tough, but there's so much extra credit. Talk to her if you ever need anything, she's willing to work with her students
This professor is amazing. Take her for literally anything you can. She is so knowledgable and so respectful/respected. She cares so much about everyones journey and making sure they put their mental health first if needed. She is literally the best and you will learn so much from this course. I wish I could take it every semester.
only 13 test and one big paper that is half your grade. Easy assignments but the paper is too long and annoying.
i could not have loved her more. wanted 2 take this class bc I wanted to see if I liked I/O, and tbh i realized i don't. but the only reason i don't regret taking the class was bcs she taught it! with any class you don't like, the assignments and tests will be tough, so the tests were tough + long. but shes always willing to help. she is the best
Take this only if you LOVE I/O psych.Professor is very nice and chill, but I learned more from book than her 3-hour lectures. Class is very disorganized and I understand life can be chaotic, but the lack of consistency was difficult.10 easy journal assignments, 4 super long and hard exams, and a final 6-page reflection paper.She gives extra credit.
The vibes in the classroom are extra chill and she cares about her students wellbeing above all else. The classes are hilarious with the professor using real life scenarios to connect with what she's teaching. She is lenient with grades with opportunities to catch up and extra credit activities. This is the most human class I have ever taken!
Professor Houston really cares about her students and making sure that they are able to apply what they learn to real world scenarios. Our class activities were always engaging and informative and it really felt like she cared about adapting to how we, as a class, were learning the material the best. This was a night class and she was still 10/10.
She's super sweet and an amazing professor. The lectures in class are more of a conversation than a lecture. She's super approachable and the class is pretty easy. You complete 1 assignment a week plus the resume, 5 year plan, and a final paper. Easier than it sounds. Highly recommend her! You really have to try to fail to not do well in class.
Greatest professor that ever lived. This is my 3rd time taking her and she is ALWAYS the best option. Bless her! She is just wonderful in every class
The BEST professor at FIU. She is loved by everyone. She radiates so much love and care for her students, its beautiful. Jennifer Houston is my favorite professor at FIU. Assignments are very easy and straight to the point compared to other senior seminar classes. You won't regret taking her! Please listen to me on his one, TAKE HER.
Came here to rate her one more time... do yourself a favor and TAKE HER. I forgot to mention in my review that there is no exams, she is very considerate of everyones mental health, there is a final paper which is very straight forward that is not graded heavy and she is the most positive person you will ever take at FIU.
Prof. Houston is amazing. Her course is perfect for those balancing school/work because assignments are due last week of class, so you are able to work at your own pace. There were 12-13 quizzes and 10-12 pg essay paper on chapters, its a lot of writing that requires reading and learning, so don't leave it for last. I highly recommend her classes.
I love Professor Houston! She was so nice and so caring. She cares about your mental health and outside life. The class was easy for the most part. She was lenient with the capstone paper grades and gave full credit even if I turned it in late. Her resume workshop saved me! She knows her stuff and the discussions in class were so great
I took this class with intention of expanding my knowledge of I/O psych, because I thought I would go into the master's program with this considering several professors I've had with degrees in this. However I learned that it was not for me and that is okay. Way too boring and corporate for my liking. EXCELLENT PROFESSOR however!! She is pleasant.
While she's a generous grader, it is just simply a waste of time going to her class. She sets up non-sense activities, like collecting stamps, debate who is better, Kim Kardasham or Mickey Mouse, taking long time doing attendance and endless lame jokes...not a big fun of her teaching style but I recommend you to take her if you want an easy A.
She is a great profesor and engages her students! Take her if you want a fun class
I've never left a review before but she is that great. She is completely understanding and goes out of her way for students, all she asks is for you to come to class. In class we did fun group projects where we all got to participate, the homework isn't hard and she gives you tons of time and incentives, at the end you can earn prizes! Take her!
She's such a great professor, makes her classes super dynamic and has flexible grading. Plus, she gives a ton of extra credit and includes fun games to help improve your grade. I would definitely take a class with her again!
i made an account just for my first review to say GREAT PROFESSOR whoever gave it a 1/5 just now is COMPLETELY WRONG. best professor i've had so far, lectures very intriguing and she is very chill and relates well to her students. normally i don't attend even when mandatory but i enjoyed. many opportunities to finish with an excellent grade.
Amazing professor, she makes the class very fun to be in and engages with the class. She also does what she can to help you with your grade. Totally recommend her as a professor.
She was very nice and such a chill professor. Attendance does count for your grade but you also get extra credit at the end for simply having shown up. You only have to do 3 quizzes with 2 chances, 8 article reviews, and one final paper. At the end of the class shes nice enough to do fun games and rewards towards those grades. Very worth it.
Great teacher, very clear grader and very kind person if you do what you are assigned and attend it will be a free A
FUN PROFESSOR! a lot of extra credits and great prizes if you win our last class was really fun I enjoyed a lot will definitely take her again and recommend her!!!!
Love this class! Amazing professor who really cares and helps you out with your grades. She made class fun and engaging while still teaching us the lessons. Group activity based on the lesson that was easy and fun. Wish I can give a higher rating because the professor is amazing!! We love you professor! Would definitely take again if possible!
She was the best professor I've had at FIU. Aside from being passionate about the topics in class, she's very charismatic and understanding. I would 100% take her class all over again, she made it a safe and fun learning environment!
This professor has become my favorite. I hope I can enjoy another class with her. She is extremely caring and generous. She creates activities that make it fun and easy to learn the course material. The best classroom experience I have ever had.
I took her for Summer-B and we only had 3-4 in person classes. She quickly became one of my favorites at FIU. She's very accomodating, down to earth, funny, and nice. It was an easy class with some simple assignments, resubmit available. I graduate this term, but if I could, I would take a second class with her. Seriously, take her if you can.
Nice professor,and super sweet, not sure why she has any bad reviews, the final was time consuming and a little challenging but I did my best and got an A. Quizzes are fairly by the book, and she gives extra credit. Taken her for two classes now and liked her.
The class was fascinating and vital to my major. This professor was supportive and her approach is straightforward. Put simply: do the reading and you will do well. The quizzes were accurate reflections of the material and the final was 10 essay questions that required you to focus on the content and what it means. Grading is always fair.
Do you want to learn and have fun? Take her. She is absolutely amazing. I took her in summer A, and she's so fun, super chill, and very engaging. You do group activities that are silly but relevant, you get stamps for showing up, and an extra one if your group gets the most votes, and it's necessary for the end of the semester.
Professor Jennifer Houston at FIU is the most charming and genuine professor. She brings incredible energy and fun to the classroom, making every lesson enjoyable and engaging. Her teaching style is interactive, and she creates a welcoming environment where learning feels exciting and memorable. CHOOSE HER!
Great professor. Makes class way easier and funnier than usual. Took this class Summer and it was great. Good choice for a business elective. She gives you plenty of feedback. For everything, you can submit twice (even exams). Amazing choice and chill class, so you don't stress.
Easy class but a lot of reading in the canvas textbook
Dr. Houston is a phenomenal treasure of FIU. Her lectures are so memorable that it's easy to learn and digest the material within seconds. I have learned a lot in her consumer behavior course, which made me reflect and relate to the current events in real time, whether through trends and other forms of consumer psychology. Take her! Mad respect!
Such a great professor who actually tries to engage students, she's so nice and I highly recommend her. She barely gives any HW, literally just show up to class and listen. She's so funny and engaging in her lectures, take her if you can!
Very easy class. Just an essay to do every week which sounds bad but it rlly isn't. She's a lenient grader and responds to emails quickly. She also gives feedback showing interest in what u wrote. Her PowerPoint's were easy to understand and she was overall a very easy class. 10/10 recommend.
