Comment:

The most boring class you will ever take and the hardest class. It is way too much information in the few lectures before an exam. The information is really dry and all she does is read off a powerpoint. She is a very nice lady but I wouldn't take another class with her.

Comment:

Do not recommend her for any class ever. I would never take her class again. It was more like an animal research class than a bio-psychology class. Two research papers due plus essays for each test. There were 3tests including the final. Her tests are fairly hard. Not a good teacher reads from pwrpt, extremely boring.

Dr. Jenks does use a lot of PowerPoint lectures in her class, but she does try to keep it interesting too. If you want to hear something hilarious, ask her about her research on spotted hyenas!

Comment:

She is boring, but straight to the point. She has you copy the test information. While she talks yes, but you don't need to hear her talk, and you can shorten the reading to only want she wants you to know.

She's very nice and very helpful. Great teacher. The only problem is she is late for meetings and appointments regularly which can be frustrating if you are on a time schedule

Comment:

All she does is basically read you the book! Do yourself a favor, stay home and read it instead of having her do it for you. It is such a waste of time. I do not enjoy her class at all.

Comment:

Boring!! Her way of teaching is to give you overheads of notes and talk while you're trying to copy it all down so you hear nothing b/c you're writing. She's really nice, but I wish she could teach it better. Also her tests are really hard.

Dr. Jenks is, by far the best teacher I have ever had. Not only is she incredibly brilliant, but she is one of the sweetest people I know. I have had her for all of my semesters at sage and sad that this will be my last. Shes great!

She does love notes and teaches straight from the book but is very helpful if you need it. It gets a little less boring as you get into stuff that she likes, like the course on Sex, Stress, and Strategy.
