Comment:

She is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely caring towards her students. You have to pay attention because she counts this as participation. It's an easy A, though. She does go off on tangents, can't keep a schedule, and is disorganized and scatterbrained at times. But she knows it and will make it up to you. Also she won't respond to emails.

Comment:

Kooky prof that rants a TON. Title of the class was more interesting than what was taught. Very disorganized and unclear with assignments. Not much work but she never graded assignments so no one knew their grades. She made mistakes on exams and made the class re-do their answers. Did not hand back draft of paper until the day before final was due

Comment:

Jenner was outstanding! Super interesting and intelligent lecturer and is SUPER personable and fosters a great learning community. Weekly quizzes were easy. Exams are weekly quiz questions, super easy if studied. Fun and is very helpful. No complaints. Doesn't respond to emails, however. A minor flaw. Keep up with the reading and you will get an A.

Comment:

Her lectures are pretty wordy with the power points and its A LOT of copying. You DO need to read the book for her tests though. She was pretty kooky and often went on tangents in class. If you just read the book you could do well in the class, but if you show up she will give extra credit if not many people are there. Funny person, clear, and nice

Jenner is a funny lady. As unorganized and prone to tangents as she is, there is no doubt she loves what she's teaching. Very willing to help if you go to her office hours. This course was fun - convinced me of a S/A minor!

She is extremely hard to keep on track with what she has "planned." I would recommend not taking any classes from her at GAC.

Elizabeth is THE most caring professor at GAC, hands down. She is also great to chat with outside of class. Definitely a scatterbrain, but she does know her stuff and she is always willing to help if you are feel lost with the material or are having a hard time in class.

Comment:

Nice and interesting as a person, but as a professor she's lackluster. I didn't feel there was any point in going to her classes so I don't and I'm still getting an A. If you need an easy filler class take this, otherwise it's not really worth it.

Comment:

Jenner was a classic by the book teacher who was slightly insane I thought. For absolutely no reason I received a B at the end of the course when I clearly should have had an A without any explanation from her. I even aced my final, and I have no idea what was going through her head when she was handing out grades.

She is an amazing teacher. She keeps class fun, and the material is very interesting. She uses powerpoints which help for note-taking. Her tests are pretty easy. Offers extra credit, and sincerly wants you to do well! She is very understanding!

She is the greatest teacher at GAC. She cares sooooo much about her students that its almost as though she sacrifices a bit of her life to be able to e there for us. I love her dearly, think she is a fantastic teacher, fair grader and an inspiration to any human being she comes across. Her wealth of knowledge is almost unbelievable! Great Prof!

Elizabeth Jenner is one of the best profs in the world!! She wants her students to do well in class and life, and makes both easier to accomplish. She cares so much about every student and her office is an open door where you won't leave for at least an hour due to awesome, stimulating, random conversations! She makes GAC home, and a place I belong

She is nice but if you miss a test you are screwed because she likes to give you a harder test then, even if you were at your Grandma's funeral.

Comment:

Jenner was trying really hard to make everyone happy, she does care about her students. However, her study guides are ridiculous. They are HUGE and take several days to fill out, not counting the time it takes to actually memorize the material. If she could fix this I would recommend the class.

Hands down, probobly one of the most caring and outstanding professors at GAC. I have not met anyone who cares so much about you as a person and what you want to accomplish in your life. She is my advisor and never fails to give me the best advice, she serves as my cheerleader. I highly reccomend her. Enjoy her wit and willingness to help you!

Comment:

I quickly grew tired of her dry wit and crazy demeanor. I also feel like she made it hard to get an A by giving us weekly quizes with abstract questions. Being in a large intro class i didn't feel like she really cared about us much. I also didn't like her 3 absences = lower grade rule, because her lectures were a waste of my time.
