She's serious about her no talk/cell phone policy, but it's actually not a bad policy tbh. If you can take organized notes and study them well, you'll be fine. Just try to actually make sense of the material. Write down the examples she uses! It helps!! She might seem intimidating, but she's nice and her tests are pretty identical to the notes.

85% of her test are from the lectures and 15% are from the textbook (which she gives specific pages to. If you attend the class and take her verbal notes word for word, you can easily pass the class without a problem.

Very solid choice. She is clear with what you need to know for tests, and basically gives no work outside of class.

She has a very VERY strict cell phone policy which I hated but all in all I think she is a really great teacher. If you take her class, make sure to go to the lectures because she makes it very clear what material from the book she finds important and testable. I found her lectures organized and understandable and her tests were straight-forward.

Great psych professor and if you show up to class you can easily get an A

Attendance isn't mandatory, but you need to go or you won't know everything that's on the test (make friends, you'll need their notes) Only graded by 5 tests and an easy 100 research grade (5% of your grade). No homework. She's very scatterbrained & sometimes hard to follow but she writes everything you need to know on the board and then elaborates

Her lectures are kind of all over the place, but she is a very sweet lady. She is not that organized, and her tests are kind of hard, but if you take notes and study you should be okay. She doesn't grade attendance, but the only grades you get are on tests, so you need to go to class.

She really gets a bad rep, and I actually enjoyed her class. Lectures can be all over the place and a bit boring, but it is not an overly difficult class. As long as you show up to class and study the notes from the lectures and readings she gives, exams are pretty easy. Also gives at least a 5 point curve on every exam.

honestly if you just actually show up to class this is not difficult at all to do well in lol people just complain because they don't go and then expect to get an a. the tests are just literally verbatim what she talks about during class and if you take notes you will do fine. she is definitely all over the place but it keeps it interesting

People like to diss Jo because I can agree that she can be disorganized sometimes, but she 100% gives you every single thing you need to study and do well in the class. The exams just your notes and specific reading sections that she gives you. All you have to do is attend class and take notes and BOOM ya got an A. Good student?-take her for psych

Sometimes the lectures would get a bit boring, but it was still easy to follow along. The tests and quizzes are insanely easy and it is a good class to take for a gen ed.

This was my second class with professor Jorgenson, and I enjoyed this class. If you take detailed notes in class and read the assigned reading, you will do well. Grades are determined by tests only, but there is opportunity for extra credit, and she curves almost every test depending on the averages. If you study you'll do fine.

Professor Jorgensen is one of the best professors I've had at Clemson. Her tests are extremely straightforward and if you attend class and read the book you will get an A, easily. If you're too lazy to read from a textbook you'll probably end up blaming her for it. This seemed to be the case with most of my classmates at least

This was her second time teaching my class and while she did talk about the syllabus for over four lectures, that was mainly because students kept interrupting her. She is, for the most part a very understanding teacher and makes time for students. Roughly two quizzes a week mostly based on the study guides she posts on canvas.

Her exams are a majority lecture based, but if she gives you textbook page numbers definitely know them for the exam. Overall, she made my 5:00-7:45 class entertaining because you never know what she is going to say!

Jo gets a lot of unnecessary hate- I loved her as a teacher! She was funny but also ensured we understood the material and were prepared for the 4 tests we had. She always related what we were learning in class to the real world. I took the 5-7:45 lecture once a week, which could get super tiring at times, but overall, I had a positive experience.

Professor Jorgenson is new to teaching this class. The grading scale is based on points and not percentage, and she did not curve grade letters. Points were given from textbook quizzes, so the textbook is needed. There were 4 normal exams and a final exam, so the lowest exam score points get dropped. She was not organized at all with notes.

Jo Jorgenson is very unique. This class is on zoom, and she spends most of the lectures rambling on about something unrelated. That being said, the class material is actually interesting and useful. She gives big study guides for tests, with a decent amount of effort you can definitely get an A.

Jorgenson has a bad rep, but in my opinion she is really not that bad. I took the 5-7:45 class which was tough to get through, especially because she kicks you out if you phone is out, but it is definitely manageable. If you take good notes you should be fine because everything is curved.

While her grading can be a little unclear, she really is a compassionate teacher. If you talk to her about your grade or have her explain something you she will put aside the time to do it. There was a complication with my grade and she allowed me to fix my mistake when that was something she didn't have to.

If you're lokoing for a class that is both fun and interesting, this is it.

LOVED HER! She's so funny, sometimes she goes on weird tangents but usually its about the topic. I'm going to take her again in summer :)

Dr. J was a great professor for this class. She makes the structure and grading clear. It's entirely online and you don't have to go if you don't want to. It's based on a point system, so once you hit a certain number you have and A and are done with the class. Definitely take if you need an upper level psych class!!

Prof Jorgenson gets too much hate. She only puts notes on the whiteboard but if you go to class then you have all the information you need to pass. She tells lots of stories but it helps to make the information relevant to real life events. As long as you take notes and study you'll be fine.

Take good notes, that's the # 1 rule, and go to class (EVERY CLASS). Find a buddy you can get notes from if you miss a class as well because she does not post study guides or record lectures. Jo is super funny but the lectures are long. She is very smart and passionate about psych, so just go to class, take good notes, and STUDY!

I highly enjoyed this class! She designed the lectures and quizzes to help students study and understand all the information without putting hours and hours into the material. The quizzes are designed to walk you through a textbook chapter, and the following lecture will review the same material that is more prevalent in the exam.

Go to class or at least get someone who can take notes for you. Anything said in class can be on the test. The only grades are exams and a few small extra credit options.

Ive taken two classes with Dr. J and above all I would say she is extremely fair. Do all the EC and assignments even if its for very few points because every point helps at the end. She makes the grading very clear which means she wont give much leeway but she sends so many reminders. She's a kind and funny professor that wants you to succeed.

I took her Human Sexual Behavior class; she was awesome. Easy A as long as you actually attend class and do what's assigned. I think her lectures are hilarious, her grading is more than fair, and she goes above and beyond for her students.

Pretty easy as long as you actually listen and take notes and do study guides. Her lectures are entertaining and she's funny. She posts lecture recordings if the class is online. She is a little chatty but she's always trying to make things as easy as she can for students. Just pay attention and take good notes!

I LOVED Jo! The class was very easy if you actually went and listened. I would ask so many questions and she was happy to answer all of them. She does go off on tangents but honestly they are pretty interesting! Overall, a very easy class and you should take it if you are a psych major or minor.

She's funny and goofy, which made the class entertaining. Super easy class. I did it online synchronous so just watched her lectures and took notes on that. She often disappeared off the camera to play with her cats lol. Just take good notes and the exams were straight forward and easy

Dr. J curved our tests at least 7 points on each one. Tests were based on lectures mostly so go to class. Do the extra credits. It is a no phone class. Study and take good notes or find someone that does. Tests are straightforward if you understand situations and examples. She is willing to meet with you outside of class to help you study.

She is very fair but her tests are difficult because it is 85% lecture based. She does give chances for extra credit and is very fair with final grades. She pays attention to engagement with the extra credit opportunities.

Loved her class, super interesting! Grade is made up almost entirely of exams but they're all multiple choice and are clearly related to topics covered in class. Read the textbook and use quizlet and you'll be fine! People say she goes on tangents but usually they are just real-world applications that greatly helped my understanding.

Never took a psych class before this. Her lectures were very interesting and casual, no fancy syntax. Her "tangents" are actually just real world examples. As long as you pay attention and take good notes you'll be ok. Super interesting class with a good professor.

This is my second class with her and she's amazing! She is easily accessed outside of class if you're struggling and she really wants you to succeed. Her exams are quite intricate so you do need to focus on the small things when studying, but I've loved both classes I've taken with her! Easy to pass if you listen, take notes, and ask questions.

The content of this class was extremely important to learn, and she was very well versed in it, but her time management was really bad. I taught myself most of the information I learned in this class from the textbook. Her grading system is very confusing, and I could never understand it. I like it when her cat interrupts the lecture though.

loved this class

Dr. J was great. But absolutely NO PHONES in class you will get kicked out. She does not use slides and writes on the board which really helped me learn better. She does not post notes, so take good notes and everything she writes on the board WILL be on the exam. I really enjoyed this class and would take her again in a heartbeat.

Dr. Jorgenson was very interesting and I feel like I learned a lot from her lectures. I think she did a good job at handling the course material, and in my opinion she was pretty clear about what information from lecture would appear on the tests. I think this was an easy and informational class, and I would recommend it to anyone!

Dr. Jorgensen is genuinely passionate about what she teaches, and this is what makes her lectures interesting and engaging. This class was interesting and not something I dreaded having to do; however, it is not an easy A. It's not hard to get an A, but you have to put in the work. Exams are not very easy and the average is usually in the 70s.

Very engaging and very helpful. Makes her expectations very clear. You don't /need/ to read the book to pass, but I would recommend it just because it helps

Had her asynchronous 3060 and really enjoyed the class. She was a little ditsy but in a funny way and the material she taught was actually interesting. The quizzes and study guides are literally what the tests are made up of so if you study/memorize those you will get an A. She tells you straight up what she expects

If you don't go to class or get the notes you will fail, but as long as you show up and write EVERYTHING she says down you will be good. The exams are very straightforward and anything she says in class is fair game for the exam. Also phones are banned in class and you will get kicked out if you are caught with it.

Despite what people say, her class is pretty straightforward. If you go to class and study a bit you will be fine. The tests have a lot of information, but are relatively easy. She tells you exactly what you need to know from the book for the test too. The only thing I hated was the 3 hour lecture at night, but it was nice not having twice a week.

I have heard other things about her into Psych classes, but for this one she was great. She lets you exempt exam 4, the final, and the last four quizzes if you have an A after exam 3. All the lectures are recorded so you can basically treat the class as asynchronous besides exams (which are very easy if you do her study guides and take notes.

Jo Jorgensen is a great professor in my opinion. I took PSYC 3060: Human Sexual Behavior online and I felt like she was very clear about what was expected in the class and how to succeed in this class.

I had heard bad things about Jorgenson, but for this class, she was great! Lots of quizzes that come straight from the textbook (meaning you have to read it), but otherwise she is very straightforward about what material will be on exams. Lectures were actually interesting, and you can exempt the fourth exam and the final if you have an A.

I loved learning sexual behavior in her class, which I find so interesting, so I was shocked when I heard negative things about her. She made sure that we could get the most out of it, by providing study guides, posting videos on Canvas, or answering questions after class. She is very nice, funny, and (I think) genuinely cares about her students.

Dr. J's class is engaging, but requires dedication. No phones allowed - she'll kick you out. Lectures are board-based, so take detailed notes. Use Unstuckstudy, ChatGPT, and the textbook to prep for the tough but fair exams. Overall, a rewarding experience.

This was by far the easiest online class I have taken. Quizzes our given often, but you are able to use the textbook so it is very easy to do good. You are given study guides for each chapter and the test are mainly off of them so highly recommend doing them to do good!

I think she was a great professor for this course. She does tend to talk a lot about random things for a while, so I just watched lecture recordings a day after class and skipped through the tangents. A lot of the exam is based off of textbook study guides. If you have an A after exam 3, you are exempt from the 4th exam and the final.

I love JOJO! I have taken nearly every class she offers at Clemson. Some people give her a bad wrap, but I think that comes down to them not liking her teaching style. To pass the quizzes, just use Quizlet, not Chat GPT, and then actually study for the exam. If you have an A by the third exam, you get to exempt both the fourth exam and the final.

Very Exam heavy. Her exams are hard, but she writes notes and lectures in the white board so it's very easy to take notes and keep up. You do have to read the textbook, and go to class to be able to do good on the exams.

There are only exams in the grade book and one outside of class assignment. She has a no phone, no talking, and no recording policy. She's really funny and nice, but her material is based on what she talks about, no PowerPoint. I like the class, but I am a visual learner, so it can be harder.

JoJo is very funny and interesting. She writes terms on the board so you can easily get them down. She's a bit scatterbrained, but once you get the hang of the structure of her class and exams, you'll be fine. The final is also not cumulative. Probably more difficult than you would expect for an intro class, but you'll honestly be fine.

Dr. J's class is very interesting, even for a non-major. She writes all the terms on the board, make sure to write everything down. She does tell you when something she says isn't on the exam, which I like. The class is graded by the 4 exams and research credits, the final also isn't cumulative. As long as you study for exams you should be fine

I think she is great. Yes she's a little crazy and sometimes goes on mini tangents but it is very clear she is passionate about what she teaches. Sometimes the test questions were a little tricky becuase they were very specific, but I think this is justified because the tests are not cumulative. If you can study, you can take this class.

She's good, she writes info that will be on the test on the board. She's very accessible outside of class. The class and info is difficult, be prepared to study and put the work in. She's so helpful, reach out when you need it. She loves tangents so just go with it. good luck!

Dr. J's class was very interesting even as a non major, just pay attention to the lectures and read the textbook readings she assigns and you should be fine.

Wow. I understand the mixed reviews for Jo. She's not for everyone. An absolute character. I found the class i be clear, informative, and well organized. She is serious about phones in class. I really enjoyed her chaotic energy, class videos, and the exam content was well covered in class. Class is entirely lectures as she writes on a white board.

The notes she writes are super brief and abbreviated, making it hard to understand what she means. However, for 3060, she records the lectures, so you could watch class whenever. You definitely need to study for tests, but as long as you do so in advance and read the textbooks sections, the exams aren't too bad. She will get off topic a lot though.

I love Dr. J! She's a great professor and is very entertaining to listen to. This class was especially interesting. I also took Psych 2010 with her, and I plan to take more with her. After you know what her exams are like, they aren't bad, and it's very easy to get an A. She is very approachable, so you can easily go to her if you need help.

Dr. Jorgenson is a great professor. Her lectures can be boring, but it's obvious that she is very intelligent. She is strict about her policies, but they do make for a quiet learning environment. I would definitely recommend doing the readings as she assigns them; she uses a lot of questions directly from the book.
