Comment:

I had Jenny for Journalism and she was awful. I did not learn anything and she was very pompous. Poor interactions with students and little clarification on what was expected. I'm sure she's brilliant but what good is it if you don't teach your students anything?

Comment:

Teaching well in an objective way is not Dear's forte. No word in the english dictionary could convey the lack of compassion that she proudly brags about. Listening to her coplaints about teaching got old real fast.

Terrible instructor. Singles out certain (mostly male) students for harsh treatment and unfair grading.

Comment:

She's not good. Terrible teacher that consistently rambles on about inconsequential hogwash and couldn't teach a student a valuable lesson if her life depended on it! Plus she has a weird cough!

Comment:

Tricky quizes that were worth too much of your total grade. Curious if the purpose was to test knowledge or screw your grade?! Too much lecture & not enough interaction. Expect redundancy and utter boredom. May be an alien... we're looking into it.

I agree with the last comment. Her criticism was very helpful and I hope those people that thought their crap was great paid attention to what she was trying to teach them. Also, she is willing to work with you on your writing

caring and enthusiastic. grades fairly-- anyone who says she doesn't probably didn't do their work, or is that kid in my creative writing class who wrote absolute crap and thought it was genius.

Comment:

Had to drop the course mid term, but learn alot about being on time, getting things turned in and learned you can't b/s with your education, for it will always come back to you. She taught me to love research and to love learning. She's cool too.

She's really awful. Rambles about senseless crap that has relation to her lectures. She grades very unfairly, and gets a highly enthusiastic two thumbs down!

Jenny is a caring professor. I've found that the students that don't like her are the slackers who got busted for not doing their work.

Jenny is nice and cares about her students, but I didn't learn a think from her class and I still got an A. I ended up taking Creative Writing from another professor so I could get the challenge I really wanted. Two Creative Writing Classes, Two A's. I
