Unclear grading criteria, no help. A student in the class was a better guide. Her lectures could be templates for the bad place.

Tests are difficult and CS 141 is very challenging for a beginner. However, professor Orr is very nice and accommodating. Lecture heavy and can be hard to understand.

She's knowledgeable and enthusiastic about teaching. Orr does a good job at explaining concepts and challenging students to think critically. It's really a shame she's retiring. A great prof.

Professor Orr led an Independent Study for myself and one other student. She was very helpful with the subject matter, and provided great guidance on how to approach it hands on. She's a very nice person and is willing to put a lot of efforts into helping students, especially if you are passionate about her classes or anything in particular.

She's a very kind and accommodating lady. If you put in effort, she will take that into consideration. However, the topic is quite difficult, and the tests are mind-numbingly hard.

Comment:

These old ratings are old! Jenny is a fabulous teacher. Her classes tend to be project based, visual and interesting. I highly recommend 3D Animation and Images and Imagination. As far as her teaching style goes, she does like things her way to an extent, but since the classes tend to be creative, you do have a lot of freedom.

I honestly think she discriminates against the girls in the class. What a hypocrite, huh? Treats you like a moron if you don't understand.

Best teacher ever. Her lectures can sometimes be long, but in the more interesting classes they are much better. If you don't get it, she does and she is very helpful.
