Comment:

Dr. Jones is a phenomenal professor. That being said, she knows what she is talking about and everything she says during class as well as the lecture notes are fair game. Her tests are very, very detail specific including knowing the small pictures and fine print that goes along with them. It is very challenging but doable.

Comment:

Dr. Jones is the best teacher ECU could ever give you for this class. She provides you with all the information you need to succeed and understand. With that being said DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS CLASS. This was the hardest class I EVER took in my life, but it was also the most rewarding. STUDY STUDY STUDY everyday!

Comment:

This is a really hard class, but not because of Jones per say. She knows what she is talking about and explains everything really well both in lecture and if you go to office hours, but you literally have to memorize every word of the lecture notes. She does no rounding at all. Watch out for the final, it tanked our class.

Comment:

This class is purely memorization, and extremely difficult. If you don't go to class you won't do well, and study every day!! Her tests are very specific, so memorize all of the lecture notes and right down every word she says. Prepare well for the final, she may say its broad topics but it's just as difficult as the other 4 exams.

She does have a lot of material to go over but does little to help you understand all of the information. I emailed about what to do to improve and she responded by copying and pasting a part of her syllabus detailing the grade structure, as if she did not care.

Comment:

If you literally memorize every word of the lecture book you will easily pass the tests. There are 4 tests and a final. All are cumulative. Dr Jones is very good and explains things well if you read reviews about the tests being hard that is because of poor studying. Memorize the lecture supplement book and get a 90+ Always.

Her test are very hard. She seems very sickler to the syllabus. If you need help she'll only give you tips on studying but didn't really help me. wish she had more quizes in the class to help with my grade. She really is very smart so listen very well during lecture.

Overall the difficulty is not with the professor just the amount of material that she is required to get through. Her lectures were very interesting and she is very knowledgeable in the subject. The tests are very detail specific and need to be studied for a week to two weeks in advance for multiple hours a day. Overall she's a great teacher!

Comment:

I loved this class. Some people may argue with this, but the information you cover is not difficult to understand, what is difficult is the amount of information covered, but more so teaching yourself how to study for her exams. If you take the first exam and did badly, change the way you study for the next one, and do NOT wait till the last minute

Took this class Fall 2017, as I'm a nutrition major and it was required. I do not have enough nice things to say about this professor. Yes, you have to work for the grade you get, but Dr. Jones is so knowledgable I had no trouble paying attention. Study 5-7 days before. Always keep your pencil moving during lecture.

She's a great teacher and you can tell that she cares and knows what she's talking about. The class is fine and the lab is too much but you'll get through it. I studied for the tests 1-2 weeks in advance and never made below a 90 on any of the tests. You get out what you put in so if you want an A you have to put in the work.

Dr. Jones is very intelligent and an overall great professor. There are 5 exams including the final and they are the only grades in this class and none of the exams are curved. You must study about a week in advance before each exam to do well in her class. If you study and know the material you can succeed.

Shes really sweet and obviously knows what shes talking about. If you go to class she goes over the same information a lot fo that it hopefully sticks. Its not gonna be easy, but if you REALLY put in the effort then you can do well in this class. Its really just a class to get people to switch majors. Really helpful if you go to her sparce hours.

Honestly, this class is a weeding out class. However, just memorize the lecture notes and you'll be fine.

I am currently in Jones 2140 class and I love it. She is a GREAT professor, she knows the material so well. The first test is very easy, the next two have been just okay (easy if you study). Study at least 4 days before each test. Make flashcards or re-write the notes. I haven't gotten less than an A on any of her tests yet.

She only does 4 tests and a final. No homework, no attendance grade or anything to help with your grade. She puts old material on exams as if you do not already have enough to study and worry about. Wish I could take someone else, but unfortunately she is the only one who teaches it mostly.

I took 2140 and 2150 with Dr. Jones. This is a time consuming and hard class and she is a hard professor, but if you study and actually go to class you should be fine. I made a B- in 2140 and a B in 2150. It took me a little bit to get used to the way she tests, but when I did I was fine. You should take her classes, you will learn so much.

STUDY! And go to class. Some of her test questions will be from things she only said in class. Doesn't drop the lowest test grade/curve. Know every detail in the lecture book. Failed first exam which set me back but I brought my avg up to a B at the end. Study for every test because if I didn't fail the 1st exam I could have easily ended with an A.
