Comment:

Overtly sexist towards men and incredibly thin skinned. She is a walking inferiority complex, constantly trying to overcompensate. Exams are a joke. During lecture she claimed that her goal was to give almost everyone a C and that her exams are tailored to accomplish that goal. Wish I was making this up but I'll be damned if she wasn't right...

Comment:

She is a tough grader but overall I think she is a good professor. Her exams can be tough but as long as you study the terms and slides, you should do just fine. She's funny and really easy to talk to. It is very obvious she cares about her students and their success.

Comment:

UGH. This teacher is very unclear. She doesn't grade you on your comprehension of the curriculum, rather she nitpicks over semantics. What is even more frustrating the double standard. Everything she writes is full of typos and grammatical errors (everything, I'm not kidding)! Avoid taking her. It's a trap.

Comment:

VERY hard grader. Extremely picky when it comes to papers, which are given a lot. It takes a couple of bad grades to figure out the way she grades and how she wants you to write. Her exams are pretty difficult as well. They are mainly focused on memorization of the information from class. Pretty much all fill in the blank and short/long answer.

Excellent Professor, was very engage for an online class. I have taken two online classes with Prof Jenkins and enjoyed both. Wish she was teaching other classes.

Comment:

Please refer to a different professor if you use a tablet for note taking purposes. Profressor Jinkins does not see tablets as useful tool for note taking purposes, even if the class is about the management of engineers in a "technology rich environment". -Disregard Easiness and Textbook Use scores, N/A was not an option.

Comment:

Jinkins is a hard grader, but I thought her content was good. Lectures consisted of organized (though sometimes too vague) Powerpoints and labs were challenging and usually required a formal written report. I liked that the labs listed ABET expectations and the point of the exercise. Also, watch your grammar in her class; she'll appreciate it.

Comment:

Jenkins is a joke. She is as cool as AIDS, and gives way too much homework for a one credit class. Expects you to do ridiculous things like make a ping pong ball hit a tiny target with a self propelled machine, even though what you learned in class was jack stuff that comes out of peoples butts

Comment:

She is very anal with how assignments and projects need to be done. You will do well on assignments if you are good at english and grammar. A few group projects and long assignments. One paper. You dont have to take the final if you do all of your assignments. I had a mid-B in the class but I somehow got an A. It might be because she favors girls?

Her in class instruction sucks, and her handwriting is almost unreadable. She seems like a nice person, but she is not a good teacher.
