Comment:
Jen is an amazing teacher in the ART department at USM. Her course is a lot of work outside and inside the classroom, but don't let that scare you away. I recommend taking this course with a light schedule if you want to gain a lot of feedback. Amazing professor and on the bright side no exams!

Comment:
Jen is great and has a lot of talent, she has worked for a lot of magazines and LL Bean. She keeps in touch with students if you wish and has a great personality. Her classes are easy if you have an interest in photography. She doesn't really give any feedback which can be frustrating and although art is subjective, she could teach you more.

Jennifer is a really sweet person and a talented photographer. I took a 4 week course and it was challenging because it was so condensed, but I would take another course from her.

Comment:
She prefers to do things for her students instead of instruct, which I found frustrating. She spends much of the class doing one-on-ones for printing or chatting which I find to be wasteful of class time. If she actually critiques someone's work, she doesn't bring ideas or constructive advice to the table. Nice person just doesn't inspire.

Comment:
One student admitted, "I learned more from you in one day than a whole semester with the professor." I learned more from the internet. Quite unfortunate if you're into photography. More unfortunate if you don't have a lot of money. What a waste.

Great professor. She will put in as much as you do. If you don't want to do the work she will not take excusses, if you are actually trying she will be there to help, and if you are willing to go farther than required she will encourage and support you. Be ready to work and be rewarded for it.

Plays favorites. Better be in the "in" crowd or your grade will suffer and she will be truly honest about your work...

Jen is an awesome professor. if you dont listen, dont take a photo class. shes very helpful and will always help if asked, and go beyond what she needs to do. shes got a laid back personality and likes to have fun in her classes, take it for interest (there is work and you cant slack) its not an easy A but you definitely learn about photography
