Comment:

By far the worst teacher ive ever had. Very boring, very confusing, will not go out of her way to help you. Very strict grader, especially on tests. Also tries to confuse you on tests; not straightforward.

Comment:

Textbook won't help you when she expects answers to be from her lectures and not from the book. Honestly (and we've all had some pretty horribly teachers before), Jessica McCraw was hands down the worst teacher I have ever had. No doubt about it. She is impossibly stubborn and painfully pathetic at teaching. Can't stress enough- do not take.

Comment:

This class can be boring and she can get off topic during class. Just read the book, go to class so she will bump your grade at the end, do the worksheets, and go in to get help. She is much more helpful in her office than in class - she used to sit down and answer all of my questions.

Comment:

People that say she is incredibly hard are not trying. She is a horrible teacher but her class is an EASY A. I repeat EASY A. The trick? Just dont listen to her. She is terribly boring but her tests are straight from the book. Just know the book frontwards and backwards on test day. Lots of Extra credit. Nice lady, but dont bother arguing...

She is a very nice lady, but she is a horrible teacher. She is so confusing and extremely hard to follow. However, her tests are right out of the book so if you memorize it you'll be fine. Also, she provides a lot of extra credit.

This is the worst professor i have had in my career of schooling. She is extremely hard to follow and although she says she goes by the book but she wants it her way. Her class is boring and hard t pay attention to. I recommend that you stay away from taking her class.

She teaches right out of the book so all you have to do is read the book and you do not have to go to class. She gives no homework but her test are immposible. She does not like to help you and if you go to her office to get help she treats you like you are stupid. Her examples in class she talks and talks about them FOREVER!! I hated her class!!

Comment:

I hated going to her class, she was very rude when a student didnt understand the wacky example she was using. She blinks a lot thats very distracting, i stopped going to class but read the book and passed the tests with A there were a few times i snapped back at her in class because she was being rude to other students.

Comment:

She is a very nice lady. However, as a professor she is very confusing. She constantly gets herself off track, and she never admits when she's wrong. So don't try to debate your grade! Her tests are incredibly hard and she is never clear in any of her questions. She takes attendance, but doesn't give any projects or papers.

Nice lady but Horrible professor. Tests are on incredibly small detail from the book. I pulled 3 all nighters and drank countless redbulls along with was adderalled out and still failed the final. Horrible teacher all in all. Avoid at all costs. When in class, half of the people are asleep.

Comment:

She goes off topic a lot but somehow will come back. The last test is really crammed so be ready. Hw takes longer than you would expect and counts for a grade. If you take it 1st semester, go to class before t-giving, she gives an extra credit and it really helped. must read chapters to do well on the tests but they are usually straight forward

Not one student passed on the 1st test! I read 4 hours and still did not understand! She does not help you and automatically assumes that we should know the answer! Take Klopfenstein!

she's really sweet and talks with her eyes shut. kinda weird, but once you get past that take down every note she gives you. there is extra credit options on the tests and DO THE HOMEWORK!!!! they count towards your grade more than you think. pretty straight forward class and she'll help you if you're sick or have a problem. she's pretty cool!
