Ratings for Jessica Bayliss

RatingQuarterComment
9920023She is a great teacher. Lectures informative, and she will go out of her way to answer questions you have. Take her if you possibly can.
9520023Had her for CS3, and that was the CS that I learned the most in. Fair grader, friendly, recommended.
9120023A good professor. Tries to make the class fun.
9120023very energenic and fun. very fair and actually teaches
6520023She is a bad instructor. She has a terrible time explaining things and is not very orgranized. On the bright side, all her classes are easy A's.

If you don't mind having a lousy teacher and don't care about learning, then take Bayliss - at least you won't have to work hard for a decent grade.
9920023Very lax on attendance, fair grader, good instructor.
9920023AWESOME! Recommanded
8520023I give her a B and not a C because I got an A in her AI class. The reason I complain is that I learned absoultely nothing for my $1500+ in AI. She couldn't quite figure out what she was going to teach, gave one project/lab that was impossible to finish (the compiler was busted but we found out after the due date), and often taught straight from public websites. All in all, she is very nice and helpful when you go see her, and I could see her being a better teacher in maybe lower courses.
8120012She knows her stuff, but she too boring. Trying to teach off of power point is not really smart either. Then again, the whole CS Dept. isn't too bright. I mean how do you give a programming project with bugs all in the project?
9920012I love Jessica. She is amazing and so is her bird, Snoopy. Jessica makes me smile! She is the best CS teacher on all of the campus. She makes CS fun, as if it isn't already. HAHA. Well TAKE HER!

8820012Lectures were good, sometimes boring
8520012Not bad - helpful when you need it, but not entirely outstanding.
9920012Definitely one of RIT's outstanding professor's. Dr. Bayliss will go out of her way to help a student with anything she can, so long as the student makes the initial effort. At times her lectures may be a tad on the boring side, however, this is primarily due to the CS Department's schedule of which she must cover. Whenever she has any sort of leeway, her lectures are anything but boring, and almost always include some sort of fun class interaction. In my opinion, Dr. Bayliss is right up there with Paul Tymann, as far as teaching ability, and care/concern for her students. I very highly reccomend taking any of her classes, as you're sure not to regret it. :-)
9920012Taken her for 2 quarters lecture, 3 quarters lab now. Outstanding professor. Willing to communicate personally with each student, responds to all emails, available during all office hours, and has review sessions before each exam.
9120012Really nice, goes out of her way to answer questions for you. She excells in helping you in a one-one setting like the labs. Her class room lectures are a bore. I guess its because I had AP Compsci back in HighSchool. She does have a wierd habit of not looking straight at you when you talk to here face to face. I found that discomforting, but I heard serveal people say that it is her thing.
9520012Very fair grader. Lectures were a bit boring but not too bad.
