She's nice enough. you have to write a big paper 3 weeks in, write a bill and present it to the class, and there is a midterm and a final. She seems to think that we are all political science majors, only reason I'm taking GOVT 2302 is to fill a pre-req. I didn't appreciate putting in this much effort as a nursing major taking way harder classes.

I took her online TX Politics class. The material was straightforward and she really pointed you to the most important stuff. The best online class I have taken because: 1) Not boring, she does PowerPoints AND audio files (so kinda like a class on campus), 2)ALWAYS gets back to your e-mails soon, 3) she's nice (makes sure quizzes not too hard).

She does not ask a lot of her students but make sure you attend her class! The only reason I passed was due to all the extra credit I did. And the big group project that's all semester long.

She was very nice but expected a lot. You need to read the book on your own time, take very detailed notes of the lectures and remember it all for the mid term and final. Review guides were not comprehensive at all and she had to curb the grade since so many questions were not actually covered in class. The group project is a lot of writing & time.

Powerpoints do not follow the book...means constant note taking & lecturing. You will be writing a book on top of the one you have to read at home. She will not clearly indicate what the test covers. With a lot of info, you have to guess. Also, no test is handed back & it's cumulative info for the mid trm & final. You have to guess what you missed.

Her PowerPoints are recorded with her lecturing & it is SO HELPFUL. The weekly online quizzes weren't bad & it's good to study Quizlets with the lectures/PPTs. Final paper (5 pages) was on gun control - interesting!

She posts slides with very clear, straight to the point notes that have a clear understanding of what will be on the quiz that week. She only gives one quiz per week. The answers came from the notes. Usually they are multiple choice and then some are short answers and then a final paper was a 5 page paper over a simple subject. But she was so easy to talk to and very flexible with problems and very understanding. She cares about your grade and your troubles and would help you solve them.

Took this class online. This class was harder than I expected. The quizzes start out pretty hard then get easier. The lowest three quizzes are dropped. Make sure to listen to her powerpoints and write stuff down. Lockdown browser is used. The book was not very helpful but I felt like I still needed it. The essay is 5 pages long.

Prof. Jac is great. She helped me every step that I needed it. She answered my questions when I wasnt sure about something and she answered quickly. (Sometimes at weird hours). Anyway, the class is easy to follow, no surprises. Just focus on the paper. One week I got sick and just skipped it since she drops the lowest 3 quiz grades it worked out.

I took Prof. Jac both 2305 and 2306. I did better in 2306 since I had my book. Her quizzes are timed and usually have ten minutes for ten questions. This is because they are not meant to be open book. I found that the worst. However, she is kind and is willing to help you where needed and I feel anyone can do good.

Paper at end is worth 30% of total grade, but easy. Short timed quizzes (no tests) make this class temporarily stressful once a week. 3 drop quizzes. No final.

I'm in my last semester & this class F'd my GPA. Her long rambling PPT lectures are all mixed up & don't coincide with the book or quizzes. I missed questions on quizzes because the material wasn't covered until following chapters. Her essay grading is terrible. She expects a 4+ page paper about a topic that can be covered in 1 page.

I took this class with 2 friends- we all got As. Only thing that was somewhat of a challenge was the paper, but it was only 4 pages and she has a 1 page long prompt that walks you through the research question step by step. I dont know who isnt successful in this class.

Prof Jac was awesome! I took the class as a 6 week course and did fine. 2 units a week, usually 1-3 chapters to read per unit. No exams, only a final paper (worth 30%). Paper grading was mediocre, perhaps a tad too harsh. Her lectures are pretty clear, and she always responds to emails. Would def recommend

Took this class with my friend and we both got As. The paper was the hardest part of the class, but it was totally doable. I am a high school student and I am so glad I have this class taken care of- my senior year will be better because this is out of the way.

Her quizzes are absolutely nothing like what she teaches or covers. Shes online and she does NOT give you what information you should read in the textbook (I'm assuming we have to read the whole chapter every chapter. When you get to the quizzes you are basically smacked in the face with things she didn't talk about nor are they on her powerpoints.

Don't take her class. She is very rude. She is non-comparative. She gives more than 2-3 quizzes every week. She expects you to write a paper of graduate level. I wished I never took her class.

I have asked Prof. J twice in the last 24 hours if she teaches history too. I took her 8-week online Texas class and I wish I had taken her for US. I wish I could take her for history, which she has kindly informed me she does not teach. I got an A, appreciated her help and the extra credit. Loved this class.

Professor Jac was very clear and stuck to her syllabus. I see some people complaining about some info on the quizzes not being in the lecture, but she specifically says 50% of questions come from lecture and videos, while the other 50% comes from the textbook. I learned a good amount, even though government isn’t necessarily my thing.

I took Dr. J for the accelerated 8week class. She basically covered 2 weeks every week. She still had cool stuff in her online class, documentaries, funny videos, etc. It was pretty fast-paced, but I still got an A. Class was easy to follow & even online I didn't get lost. Quiz and assignment reminders, extra credit, info about stuff on campus

Prof. Jac really wants you to succeed. The class has 13 quizzes (she drops the 3 lowest). One four page paper. She also has extra credit, worth a lot if you do it. She's nice and responds to emails quickly- I got one at 2am. My advice- don't wait with the paper. My friend didn't turn hers in on time and that messed up her grade.

At the end of every week, you would have a test. It was a simple as that. The final for the class wasn't even a test, it was a paper. She gives you months in advance to do the paper and even gives you a week off of work to work on your essay.

Overall the class was ok. Personally I would most likely not take this teacher again but the experience was not horrible. In this class make sure that you look at the dates and times because there were many times that she changed the times to an earlier time. I do not like how many of the quizzes you get a grade on are dropped.

Summer. Two quizzes a week and one paper due. That's all. She has lectures and tons of material to review to pass the quizzes. Beware listening to her lectures laying down, her voice is an ASMR heaven and you will get swept to the sandman for a dream. You will need to learn this material, you won't be able to just open the book and quiz.
