She presents excellent lectures, offer many helps in the office hour, give much flexibility in grading, and leave many useful comment in your paper, but the exam is a little bit tough for me and covers things that have not been taught in the class.

Comment:

Jaine was a great professor! She clearly knows her stuff, and knows how to convey it in an engaging manner. The work load for this course was extremely heavy, though, the papers in particular--They were (unnecessarily) heavy and involved. But she never failed to make class interesting and to show that she cares!

Comment:

Jaine is really patient and respects students. I once asked for an extension on a paper because of personal issues and she granted me one without deadline. Cry at her office hours? She totally understands! And she will be there for you. I declared my major partially because of her. Just wonderful.

Hands down, the best professor! Jaine's lectures are engaging and extremely informative. She is so dedicated and her intelligence inspires me. Exams require a lot of studying but are very fair and representative of what we learned. Definitely recommend taking a class with her!!!

Jaine is my favorite professor! She is super engaging and always keeps classes interesting. She was always available for me to stop by and chat outside of class and if you do the work the class isn't too hard. Definitely recommend to anyone with an interested in clinical psychology.

Comment:

There aren't enough words to describe Jane as a professor. What stands out most is her personal investment and passion for the material and her ability to engage students. Her classes are so much more than just lectures, they're an experience! She has the ability to turn a 60 people lecture into a family enviornment. Absolutely invaluable!

Comment:

Jaine is hands down my favorite professor at Mac. She is deeply knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects, and when you ask a question she doesn't know the answer to she will look it up and report back to you the next class. She's also quite approachable and has a great sense of humor.

Jaine is hands-down one of the best professors I have ever had. I loved ever class I took of hers (I think I took every one she taught). She is connected to the topics and engaged with her students. It is clear that it really matters to her that her students learn.
