Student Feedback:
Teaching an Elective Course
"The instructor took the time to meet with me whenever I was stuck and always reminded us that she was available to help. I could not have asked for a better instructor."
"Dr. Ku is always focused on making sure we understand the material."
"You truly cared and put a lot of effort into teaching. I appreciated your skill in steering discussions in a productive direction. The class was full of assignments and discussions that make me feel more prepared to move on into rotations and caring for patients."

Student Feedback:
Precepting
"Dr. Ku has been wonderful to work with as a resident! She treated me as a work colleague and not a student. She asked many questions to test my current knowledge and identify areas I need to grow or refresh on. She used these opportunities to educate me. Dr. Ku provided useful feedback to help me grow as a pharmacist."
"Jennifer is an excellent preceptor. She is kind, understanding, and so knowledgeable about palliative care, pharmacy, and a lot of other aspects of health care. She cares about her students that she is precepting and whether they learn. I could tell that she wanted to help me out to the best of her ability and she spend a lot of time working with me. She encouraged me to do the best that I could and to engage with the team. She would spend time helping me work through my thought processes behind making decisions which was very beneficial. Overall, I really enjoyed working with Jennifer and hope she finds a great job as a palliative care pharmacist!!"
