Exams are majority of your grade and if you do not have the exact answer on the answer key you will not get any credit. Professor is not willing to talk through short answer problems where points were taken off on exams either. Would not take this class unless required or have a deep passion for horticulture.Rate My Professors ↗
Was for Hort 121. Laura Jull was by far the worst professor I have had at UW Madison, and I had Joel Rogers. I just typed 1000 words of why she was so bad, but I only get 350. Class was interesting but she ruined it. In summary she's rude to guest lecturers and individual students, uncaring, and horribly disorganized.Rate My Professors ↗
Students are graded on exams only, which were not graded on understanding concepts, but rather being able to spew memorized text from boring ppts of 50+ slides. Attendance mandatory for listening to her read slideshows. She also displayed inappropriate social skills and consistently went past scheduled class time. Don't take if not required.Rate My Professors ↗
Has us remember literally HUNDREDS of slides of information word for word, but she can't even remember the names of her 12 students (originally 15, but 3 dropped the class the day before the drop deadline because it's that bad).Rate My Professors ↗
My semester with Dr. Jull was nothing but desperately studying 12+ hours for each exam to get nothing but B's. When asked what else I can do to get an A, she wouldn't give me an answer. She plays the victim every day. Singles out students and shames them for their majors. Tells us we aren't trying hard enough. Tests are unnecessarily hard.Rate My Professors ↗
Sad it's this professor for such an interesting class. She bases your grade off of 4 tests that are 100% memorization of terms and techniques. Learning is not the priority, instead it is memorization for different benches and tents. Really hard. Tests are super long and require so much memorization. Labs are kind of fun, but professor is demandingRate My Professors ↗
