Write a well written paper=C grade write bad paper=C grade very unfair democrate

too liberal, you don't learn anything. harsh grader. find another teacher

Completely unclear in what she wants with assignments, be prepared to rewrite every paper, expect a ton of extra projects, a grade that doesn't reflect the amount of time you had to spend on her class, very liberal thinker who doesn't actually teach

Very hard to deal with... You must think like her, or your answer is worng.

She's such a bad teacher that she'd turn you off poli sci completely.

Awful teacher. No class structure. Won't even put a grade on a paper, then when you rewrite it you're lucky to get anything above a C, when any other teacher would give you at least a B. Avoid at all costs, TERRIBLE.

do not take!!! worst experience ever and was painful to go to class and actually sit through it with my eyes open.. horrribleee grader . DONT TAKE

a horrible experience

avoid

This woman is an absolute terror as a teacher...do not take her under any circumstances! She never tells you what is required, rips apart your papers and ideas, disagrees with everything you say and still will not help you learn anything more about government than you could learn yourself. Beyond liberal, if that bugs you too....

In a word: avoid. No matter how well you write, she rarely, rarely hands anything back above a C, even if you actually work in the writing center. She will not repeat things if you misheard her. Very tough and uncompassionate.

I'd rather have syphillis...

This class ****ing sucks. Disorganized, doesn't even tell you how you're doing, gives "checks" instead and then throws you a C at the end of the semester. Being a liberal is also recommended, but she'll probably hate you anyway.

Just do not take a class from her....AVOID!!!!!!

Not a class. No syllabus. Disorganized. 8 Random papers that have nothing to do with anything. Arbitrary grades. Has NOTHING to do with ideology. By far the most useless class I have taken at Marist. What a disgrace. I get disgusted just talking about it.

She seems like a nice lady, she is just not a good teacher. She goes on extremely long rants in class and teaches Am Nat Govt like a civics course. This class is absolutely useless, she teaches absolutely nothing of value. She uses the textbook rare to never and is a terrible grader when it comes to papers. I recommend avoiding her at all costs.

This woman is Un-American. I would even go as far as to call her a Communist. If you don't agree with what she says, you suffer for it. Please, please, avoid this teacher at all costs. Unfair, and unjust.

Worst teacher I have ever had in my life.SO nasty and no matter how hard you try you will never do good.DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS

One of the WORST professors at Marist. She is close-minded and dismisses alternate viewpoints on political issues. Dr. Myers is extremely abrasive and is repulsed by any student who leans conservative even by the slightest means. While I have great respect for some of my other liberal instructors, she is radical who indoctrinate students.

THE WORST PROFESSOR EVER....DO NOT TAKE

JoAnne Myers is a hardline, liberal extremist who actively indoctrinates and humiliates students who disagree with her. Please take two wonderful instructors: Louis Zuccarello or Veronica O'Connor.

DON'T TAKE JOANNE MYERS. YOU WILL REGRET IT. Please take a wonderful instructor such as Louis Zuccarello for American National Government!!!

JoAnne Myers ruined my interest in political science with her hateful speeches. Avoid at all costs!! You are better off taking Eckert.

If you get a C+ or worst, she will tell you that grades don't matter. She has no problem giving people C's like free green cards though.

First off, Professor Myers is a wonderful, intelligent woman. She is clearly passionate about Politics and holds strong views on feminism and equality. That being said, I've never taken a worse college course. Assignments are vague, then you get no feedback on a bad grade. You will get a C. No matter what, you will get a C.

RUN!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! A terrible professor, she should be fired

Class is extremely difficult. You literally have to beg her for help. When you ask for help she we will be rude. When you have a concern she will be rude. Worst professor ever

JoAnne Myers is vitriolic ideologue who detests conservative, libertarian and moderate viewpoints and believes her opinions are sacrosanct rather than debatable. She is a pseudo-intellectual and one of the most academics at Marist College. Louis Zuccarello made a huge blunder by hiring her in 1986. She is overdue for retirement.

By far the worst professor ive had

Worst professor I have ever had, did not learn a single thing about philosophy and all she spoke about were her political views and her feminism. She donates her body to science apparently and each time she cancelled class we had a 5 page paper to write. Wrote 10 papers by the end of this course and it was horrible. Drop immediately!

Terrible professor. No clear grading rubric. Readings are ridiculously long and make no sense. Requires question cards for every reading. I learned nothing.

DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH DR. JAM!!! It will make you want to quit political science

The worst experience I have ever had in my entire life. Just dont do it. If youre thinking about taking her, save yourself. She literally made me change my major thats how bad it was. Two kids dropped and also changed their majors. If you like poly sci and want to keep liking it, stay away. MARIST FIRE THIS WOMEN!! We pay too much for a bad prof

the conversation was never easy to follow, rambled, and could not follow a path in the discussion. Some of the information she provided to the class was blatantly false and is not acceptable to the diversity of opinion.

she seemed good at first, but then it flopped. She expects you to take notes during class even though she is not clear half the time. She expects you to read the textbook but doesn't really discuss the actual chapters to see who read it and who didn't. Not much work in the beginning, but will pour everything on your last month of school.

Dr. JAM is hands down not only the worst professor I've ever had, but the worst educator I've ever had. The "feedback" she gives is not helpful, at all (unless you meet her one on one). The syllabus was out of date by the third week of class, so don't count on that to keep on track of the readings. She does not grade things in a timely fashion.

I have had the displeasure of being in Myers' class at least one class every semester. It hurts to be in these classes, with no guidelines and no help whatsoever, I have contemplated leaving Marist to pursue Political Science elsewhere because of this class. Shes passionate, but her reasoning for giving everyone C's is a dumb as it is ridiculous

By far the worst professor I have ever had. I would rather have my toenails pulled out in an Iranian prison than take another class with this "professor". Sadly no one else teaches this class which is a requirement. I'm debating transferring to another school because of her

no. just no.

I don't believe I've ever met a person who genuinely enjoyed this class. A word of advice: if any teacher advertises the poor grades they give as a mark of pride, they are a poor professor. Unfortunately, the Political Science department makes her the only professor for Intro to Political Theory, so you'll have to take it. Good luck.

Horrible

She is the worst teacher I have ever had! She likes to humiliate people publically ( in front of the whole class) and does it often. She does not use BrightSpace, so you will never know what grade you have in the class. She does NOT give out A's no matter what. She hands back work with corrections in handwriting that is not legible.

MARIST NEEDS TO FIRE HER!! Worst teacher I have ever had. She does not know how to use technology so you will never know what grade you have. She likes to make fun of students in front of the class. She screwed everyone over on the final by telling the class the wrong things to study. Trust me and never take her class!!!

Worst professor Ive had at Marist, avoid her at all costs. Id honestly change my major because of her. Pushed a heavily liberal agenda and was condescending toward students during conversation. Having this professor really makes me wonder if Marist even cares about their quality of professors. Class was scheduled to boost GPA but she only gives Cs.

insanely lecture heavy and she rambles about nonsense. grading criteria is very unclear and she refuses to give out A's. dont take unless u want ur gpa to drop for no reason

Dr Jam's lecture style is incredibly hard to follow, she goes on long unrelated tangents and only writes extremely vague terms on the board every now and then. She is an extremely picky grader and will provide unhelpful illegible comments (I would often receive snarky comments instead of constructive feedback often). Take intro to theory online!!!!

Is not a clear grader probably just for the purpose of being able to grade based on her personal bias (which she is known for doing). We are all just waiting for her tenure to expire. Could keep going, but just ask others and you will hear the same thing. Also, learned absolutely nothing.

HORRIBLE professor, is very biased and obviously very liberal. very intimidated by her and DON'T recommend her at all. she cancels everything people say and is very biased. As a freshman taking this class and politically being republican, I feel like I am being brainwashed hearing the stuff she says. Also stuff im never gonna use in my life.

If I could give a worse review I would. Has no due dates for any assignments on her syllabus and most of the time no one would know anything was even due. Every day was a long reading homework assignment which is fine but half the time she goes off on a tangent to nowhere and expects you to write a journal entry about what we learned???

DO NOT TAKE HER FOR PHIL101!!! She is so unorganized and has no agenda for class. She makes up assignments in her head but doesn't communicate them to the class. She seems like a sweet woman but the stress she put me through my first semester freshman year was ridiculous especially for a required 100 class

Do NOT take phil101 with her. I don't understand how she's even a professor she doesn't teach anything and rambles about politics for the entire class. Doesn't post anything, no grading criteria, doesn't announce when there's assignment, changes her mind about work and how it should be done without telling students. Worst class I've taken

Myers's entire class is just her bashing conservatives. She's a harsh grader, but she lets everyone rewrite papers according to her feedback, even though it's no guarantee of a higher grade. I had a nice back-and-forth with her, but if you don't like participating or defending yourself then steer well clear of her.

There is a reason why all her classes are always open. She grades so that the class average is a C, just because “that's what the average should be”. She repeatedly mentioned false and disproven information in class. Class was just her rambling about her politics, and very loosely tied it to the syllabus. Made me want to drop out of college.

This class resulted in the lowest grade I have gotten in my college career and I switched to STEM after taking it. JAM's grading policies are ruthless and overly critical, I recall her giving a speech on how she will not give As on assignments because "you can always do better." I regret taking this class and letting it drop my GPA.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER, SHE IS THE WORST PROFESSOR OF ALL TIME. NOT JUST AT MARIST, BUT IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Please save your GPA and take someone else. Thanks
