Jane Devoe professor reviews and ratings: 2.1/5 from 10 student reviews at Northeastern. TRACE + RateMyProfessor + Reddit.
This professor chooses to require scheduled, proctored and recorded exams/quizzes, even though the department does not require it for this course. If you're looking for a standard online course format without unnecessary stress, avoid this one. The unnecessary stress seems to stem from her not trusting adult students to work independently.MATHMATH 2025-05-27 18:50:03 +0000 UTC
She tends to rant but her calc class isnt hard!! She gives out practice quizzes and tests that are EXACTLY like the real ones, just different numbers. If you figure out how to do the practice ones, you'll get A's on all the actual quizzes!MATH1231 2012-01-08 21:18:45 +0000 UTC
Teacher was ineffective and assumed all entering students already knew the material. Students in our class continuously pointed out errors in her work. Those who knew the material already were bored to death and those who didn't had no idea what was going on.MATH1243 2011-11-16 15:36:10 +0000 UTC
Pretty easy class and she lets you fix grades. Takes attendance but does not use itBUSN1123 2011-09-14 17:35:39 +0000 UTC
Easy class, with easy concepts...She doesnt know what shes talking about though...Takes role at random times so go to class and pay attention. Grading scale is terrible...a 90 is a B.MTH115 2008-04-09 16:29:59 +0000 UTC
Unclear about many thingsMTHU117 2006-02-22 01:08:38 +0000 UTC
she doesnt talk well with her students...gets really defensive if you ask questions about why something was graded the way it was. i cant say that i dont like her, but i do admit that her class is difficult to follow, and it isnt the subject contentMTH117 2004-11-06 09:29:37 +0000 UTC
MATH 1231 A nice person, a bad teacher. If you ask for extra help she will help you. In class she is confusing, doesn't seem sure that she knows what she is talking about. Ignores questions.MATHMATH 2011-11-15 21:13:05 +0000 UTC
I'm pretty sure she's a nice lady, but I hated the class and maybe it reflects how I liked her. Math is awful.MTHU117 2005-04-20 13:02:45 +0000 UTC
