hateful woman
What is this last guy talking about!! Dr. Jackson is one of the most helpful, caring teachers we have in Tech. You would be lucky to have taken her class.
Great Teacher!! Wish all my other teachers are like her.
Great teacher. always willing to answer questions if you have any. take her if you ever get a chance!
best professor i've ever had!
great teacher
I loved Ms Jackson's class! She made chemistry fun and interesting. Take her class if you get the chance to!
Great teacher. She makes the class really fun, makes you laugh alot, and makes chemistry easy to understand. You can tell she really cares.

great teacher but dont ****her off!
Dr. J was absolutely one of the best prof I have ever had. She is helpful, funny and witty. She also helped me after class and gave me lots of great advice when I was discouraged. Keep up the great work Dr. J and keep writing your funny scripts!
Dr. J is a good teacher, but she jumps from subject to subject in class. In order to understand the material, you have to study the notes! She does give you notes to study by (very nice!) and lets you drop your lowest quiz.
Dr. Jackson is the best professor I have ever had. I reallt dont' like chemistry but she really made it fun and interesting and made me want to come back to the class. And she cares aobut student's lives outside of the classroom.
She was and still is my favorite professor
Excellent teacher. Uses common sense to teach, so you can actually use what you learn. Best Chemisty professor I've had.
Dr. Jackson's accent cracks me up. She's funny and as she says "nerotic." hahaha. I really like her, she's really easy to talk to.
She explains her lessons very well
Best teacher I have ever had. Doesn't teach you things you'll never need. Explains things in ways you can understand. Tests are easy and often off of your notes or practice problems. Excellent teacher.
Wonderful teacher, person. Lecture is as fun as Chemistry can be. She rambles frequently, sharing her funny life experiences. Fit her into your schedual, and ask her about her movies!
Inspired me to change my major to BioChemistry! You will never have a professor this good again so take her class or be sorry for it later.
She is very claer and will help ypu do anything that you need help for
She is one of the nicest people I've met! She will help you out side of class, and be glad to do it. She makes her classes interesting with lots of stories and analogies. I recomend her to everyone.
easy quizzes
Great teacher. I scheduled my second semester around her lecture class. Everyone has an extremely easy opportunity to pass her class with good grades. I give her an A in Teaching!
I used to hate chemisrty until I took it under Dr.J. I like her teaching style and hope to get to have her again.
Very easy class. Extra points just for showing up to class. Very good explanations
Easy weekly quizes, extra points awarded, she gives the notes and practice quizes out. Highly recommend
With weekly quizzes and extra points awarded, you basically have an A if you come to class- especially if you have had Chemistry in high school... I was bored most of the time!
She is CRAZY, but i like her. she is a visual learner and i can relate to that. her class isnt hard, only hard to get into. everyone loves Dr. J.
She is a very excellent teacher
Dr J is great! She teaches the material to you, like you don't know it, which is exactly the way one wants to be taught. She's very helpful and has a great sense of humor. Definitely take her if you get the chance!
I hope Dr. J teaches BioChem so I can take her class again.
WEIRDO, but nice. easy if u go to class and take quizzes. gives lots of bonus points.
Dr. J is a awsome teacher, she will help you in anyway she can. She normally gives a quiz every tues. and lectures after the qiuz and on Thur. She will give anywhere from 5-10 points for just being there and not leaving early. Do not buy the book.
Go to class, pay a little attention, you're sure to get an A. And if you can get her for lab, it's even better!
Just go to class everyday so you don't miss a quiz. Her old tests are on the web her notes are on the web, and any questions you have she is glad to answer. Chemistry doesn't get any easier.
Still the best teacher at this University!!!!!
she was a good teacher, but you really have to be in tune w/that class. missing classes totally throws you off, and she doesn't do make up tests/quizes unless there's a big problem. notes/sample quizes are on the internet..all in all it's a good class w/a good professor-you just have to do your part
I like Dr. Jackson. She really tries to break things down so everyone will understand. Just look over the stuff on your own outside of class. Study a little and you'll be fine.
Dr. Jackson is awsome!Weekly quizzes.She is will help you with any problem that you have. If you work with her, she will work with you!!She doen't call roll but always go to class because you never know when she will give extra credit for being there. Also missing a class will totally throw you off.
Dr. Jackson is an awesome lady! lots of notes(normal for chem classes), but types of lectures for you. didn't use my $100 book much. weekly quizzes that are easy if you look over your notes! finals don't outway quiz grades at all! love her stories! learned a lot about chem and nursing! TAKE HER
1 word spectacular
easy if you go to class and print lecture from internet. don't miss quizzes and you will pass. don't buy chem book never opened it once!
Great professor! Jackson is awsome and I highly recommend her. Take her!! Her class is easy. All you do is take a quiz once a week so I recommend comeing to class to know whats on it. the quizes aren't hard at all if you just look over you notes. Print off the notes online and old quizes online
Great teacher! Very interesting. She has notes and old quizzes online. Quizzes are pretty easy. I recommend her..she's great.
very wonderful and entertaining. she has all her quizes and notes online. if you read those and keep up with her in class you should do fine. book is non-existant... don't waste the money. but she is also great if you can get her for a lab too.
Excellent teacher and knows her stuff and is very engaging
Very nice teacher! Great to listen to in the wee hours in the morning. If you are not a good note taker then you better retreive the notes offline so you can just sit back and listen in class.
she's hilarious and easy to understand. she really cares about her students
Dr jackson is great and she will help you out on your grades and she tells some of the best stories and she actually knows how us non chemistry students feel about the class and she makes it a little better for us she is a real nice lady oh and i would reccomend staying after your through with the test she gives bonus sometimes hint hint
Dr. Jackson's a NUT! For the first few weeks I had no idea what she was talking about. If you go to class, you'll probably make a B. If you go to class and study a tiny bit, you'll make an A easily. She likes students, and she works with you.
she is such a wonderful person. she actually cares about her students unlike a lot of other teachers. she wants us to do good not only in her class, but in life. shes very funny and entertaining. she is very clear in her lectures. all notes are online. she reviews before quizzes. i *heart* dr. jackson!!
Dr Jackson is a very nice and caring person. My only complaint with her is how unclearly she teaches. She speaks in fragments and very often leaves problems halfway solved. I have a lot of trouble taking notes and understanding concepts because she never finishes a thought. Other than that, she's wonderful.
this class is very easy so if ya want to pass then take Dr. J. she is very easy and the class is like high school. you dont ever have homework except when you have to study for quizzes and that is once a week. like i said she is really easy and she will say dumb lil jokes and all u have to do is laugh and she will like you. also take her for lab.
Dr. Jackson is awesome! She really cares about her students and wants you to do well in school and life. You do have to pay attention in class and study, but if you do that, it's easy. Weekly quizzes aren't bad at all.
Dr. Jackson ROCKS! She has a jersey accent but its not too bad to understand. Just review and study for her tests and you'll be fine! she gives you the notes online and thuroughly reviews in class. She is GREAT!!
I liked her a lot. Her work wasn't too hard and she was clear in her teachings.
She teaches chemistry well. She has an awesome NJ accent that makes her intersting to listen to, and she always has a story or anecdote about everything. Anyone can do well in her class if they do their work. She's also very accesible for after-class help. And she's friendly =)
I love Dr. Jackson, she's hilarious, her accent is really funny and she makes fun of Southerners but she has us pegged. She is a little hard to follow just because she's all over the place and trails off on stories but the work isn't very hard it's like high school Chem
She's a good teacher, I wouldn't buy the book, just group with someone else who has it to study for big tests. Pay attention to what she says because it can be real hard to read her handwriting. Most of the work is high school chem, and it doesn't get to hard.
She isn't hard at all! Look over the quizzes on the internet and the notes before quizzes and you will do fine. She trails off subject a lot and sometimes hard to follow, but overall i liked her.
DO NOT BUY THE BOOK, I haven't opened it once except to look at the periodic table...but it's painted on the walls anyways. Study the old quizzes off internet and in the library you'll do fine. Pay attention in lecture, easy easy notes. Very helpful and accessible after class. HILARIOUS
She is an awesome teacher. She really cares about her students and wants them to get a good education. The only thing I didnt like is the weekly quizzes. they are only 10 questions... if you miss only one you already have a B. dont buy the text book
Great professor. You have to study, folks! And she makes it easy for you, just pull your weight and you'll get a good grade. No book required, just her notes and old quizzes and exams found online.
Dr. Jackson is a great professor. She truly cares about her students and it shows in every class. She can get off topic and jump around, therefore making the lecture a bit confusing. But, she's very helpful, interesting, and HILARIOUS. Study for the quizzes. And don't bother with buying the book! It's not too hard to make an A. Just have fun!
She is an awesome professor! You not only learn a lot about Chemistry, you learn life lessons as well. I hated chemistry, but taking this class was very enjoyable and I learned to like it. She is a great person and really cares about her students. It's pretty easy to get a good grade too!
Dr J is a reat professor! I dreaded Chemistry cause I have never done well with it, but she is always willing to help and wants her students to do well and understand. I would absolutley take her again if I could. OH and her stories are pretty amazing!
Dr. J really knows her stuff. She really makes it easy for her students to learn. You don't need your book at all. Just print off the notes, study them, and you will get an A if you try. There are weekly quizzes and two tests. Study the quizzes for the tests.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED-A++++teacher.
Dr. Jackson is a wonderful teacher who will help any of her students in any way she can. You have to study for her quizzes, which isn't hard to do since she provides copies of previous quizzes which are EXTREMELY similar to the quizzes she gives that year. If you take Chem 1010, TAKE HER!!!
Very good professor. Loved the class!
she is a really good professor. she has really easy ways of solving hard problems. she is really entertaining and quite funny. her tests are easy. DONT buy the book!! you dont need it! it will save you $160
Mrs. Jackson is quite a character. She is a great teacher. She doesn't take roll but sometimes she gives extra credit if you show up. She gives example quizzes on all quizzes and lets u know exactly what is on them. TAKE HER!! SUPER EASY!! DONT BUY THE BOOK it will not be used!! save about $150 because seriously u wont use it
All of her notes, old quizzes, and old exams are online. The class is more of a joke the first 8 weeks... She makes you re-learn high school chemistry her way, which is the easy and retarded way. It gets harder toward the end, though, so go to class and take notes. You have a weekly quiz and two tests.
well... great teacher. in 1010 she realizes shes teaching a mild chemistry course. like a private school class. come to class on tuesday, know about 20 formulas, print out notes and old quizzes and your practically guaranteed an a. i have her right now. what else could you ask from a 1010 teacher. props to you dr.j
For nursing majors...Great teacher! She really knows her stuff! She's very eccentric and scatterbrained, but if you show up to class and take notes, the quizzes are really easy. 1 quiz each Monday instead of lab. Only 2 tests. She's very willing to help if you don't understand something. Really enjoyed her class!
If you had a decent high school chem class, you'll be okay. She tries to apply what she is teaching to the med field and nursing...towards the end she covers organic which is a little harder, yet interesting. overall, highly recommend her.
She cares if you know it or not and if you don't she will be glad to go back over it with you. She covers basic material and teaches you what you need to know.
Dr. Jackson is a very caring and wonderful teacher. If you go take class take notes and study the old quizzes on line and in the library it should be an easy A. She really will help in anyway possible. Talk to her and get to know her. She really is an awesome person and teacher!!
Dr. Jackson is a very good professor. She may come off as cooky at first but she does this so you dont get bored. She will often tell she class she would rather you process the information and learn it rather than try to memorize it and throw it away afterward. i really learned a lot in her class! TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!
Dr. Jackson is an awesome teacher and I definately recommend nursing students to take this class. She does a great job at tying certain things in with the nursing major. You have an easy quiz on every lab day. It's an overall easy class and she will help you get an A or a B unless you shoot yourself in the foot.
Dr. Jackson is an asset to TN Tech and an awesome professor! She makes up for all the crap that some of the other professors can give. You will learn so much in her class, and she will see to it that you do. If you treat her with respect, she will do the same to you. 100% RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY CHEMISTRY CLASS. SMART AS A WHIP!
Covers material fairly well does not expect students to work with decimals too much.
I feared Chemistry before taking her class, but she made it so fun! Even though it was an 8 o'clock class, I enjoyed going because she cracks me up. She's theatrical and explains well. She's awesome.
barbara jackson is awwwesome!!! she is firm in what she believes, she has a zero crap policy with everything in chemistry, therefore has an alternate way that makes so much more sense. you better not cheat though...she's goooood!! :)
super easy to understand....no textbooks...sample quizzes and notes on line...would definitely recommend taking Dr. Jackson for CHEM 1010!
She definatley knows what she is doing. it's in your best interest to go to class cause at times she jus randomly takes attendence and gives extra credit points. She gives weekly quizzes but they are fairly easy. She really wants her students to excel.
She's amazing! She's knows her stuff and can explain it clearly and show you the easiest way to solve the problem. Great lecturer and cracks jokes too. Will randomly take attendance and give bonus points. Quizzes every week. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!
Dr. Jackson is wonderful! She is a little scatter-brained at times, but eventually gets her point across. I learned so much in her class and it wasn't very difficult. Study for the weekly quizzes and you'll be fine. Class isn't mandatory, but she gives extra credit when she takes role on occasion. This class has been one of my favorites!
Dr. Jackson is AMAZING! She is super helpful and teaches you her own way of doing things which makes a lot more sense.
Great teacher!...Just go to class, print out the notes and you'll do fine. Attendance isn't mandatory but she gives you extra points...and quizzes weekly that potentially account for 45% of your final grade.
Dr. Jackson Does not know how to keep out of everyone business. she gets on her health rants and takes up way too much time. when she is actually teaching her handwriting is illegable. Overall Dr jackson is a decent teacher just be prepared to hear boring rants about useless topics.
Dr. Jackson is the best teacher that I have ever had! You should take this class even if you don?t need it. You will learn so much about nutrition and better ways to approach things. Her teaching style is phenomenal and if you get stuck on something she will try several different approaches to help you out because she wants everyone to succeed.
I LOVED this class! All her tests are ridiculously easy. She teaches in a way that helps you not only learn the information, but to also retain it for later.
She is amazing! A great teacher who keeps class interesting even for people who have already had Chemistry like myself. She is slightly crazy but she makes Chemstry fun!
Dr. Jackson is great!! I learned a lot. This was one class I was nervous about. She really makes sure you understand the material before she continues on..Very Helpful..& Enjoyed her. Definately take her!!
Dr. Jackson is a wonderful teacher. She makes the class really interesting, and for me, as a nursing student, made me want to do really well in the class. She has different strategies on teaching, but in a very positive way. She has great theories on life, and she makes the class fun! Take her if you can!
I was very nervous about taking this class, but Dr. Jackson is an amazing teacher. She has a certain way of teaching that is different from any other teacher I have ever had. If you have the opportunity to be in her class, you should definatly take her!
She was a really funny teacher and she really cares about her students test or quiz every week and she provides you with a lot of practice prior to. I really like her class
I would so recommend taking Dr. Jackson. I took chemistry in high school, never understood it, and was dreading taking it at Tech. However, thanks to Dr. Jackson I actually get it for once. She is a wonderful teacher & truly cares about all of her students understanding and doing well in the class. She also prepares you well for the weekly quizzes.
She is a really great teacher. She really cares for her students, and it shows with in the way she teaches. She gives weekly quizzes, and sends you samples of quizzes to help you study. I recommend taking her if you can.
She is a wonderful teacher. She breaks it down where anyone can understand the material. Take her if you get the chance!
One of best teachers I've had. She was very funny. She made the material to where anyone can understand it. I hate Chemistry and with very little amount of studying I walked out of the class with a B. I would recommend her to anyone that has to have this class.
love the teacher! she makes Chem as easy as it can possibly get, very helpful, and very clear on everything. I would take any of her classes again in a heartbeat, and I am terrible at math!
very good for people who nothing about chemistry
She is an amazing teacher! She is very funny and making learning fun. She teaches as if the student has never had chemistry. she is completely on the students side and wants the students to learn. She posts lecture notes, old quizzes, old mid-terms, and old tests on her website so you can use them to practice from. Definitively would recommend her!
Dr. Jackson is an amazing professor. I took chem 1020. She is so nice and is hilarious! Every professor needs to be like her. She cares about her students, and makes chemistry so fun! I am now about to take her again for physiological chemistry and can't wait!! She is the coolest professor I've had, and I'm a senior.
She was very helpful. She would explain the chemistry concepts in a way that was understandable. You won't need a text book for this course. She has notes online that she will have you print off for the lectures.
Put in a little work and you will get so much from this class....GREAT CLASS =)
This class is easy. She knows that you are only in the class because it is required for your major or its your science sequence. She is very clear and tries to make the material easy to remember. She keeps you awake during class and is very interesting
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Dr. Jackson makes sure you know your stuff. She cares about every student, if 1 student out of 150 doesn't understand a concept (and speaks up about it) she won't move on until they understand. Print off notes before lecture and bring them in and add to them during class. No lab, just a quiz every week during lab time.
Attendance is mandatory if you really want to understand what she wants on quizzes, which are during lab time. No textbook required. She is a hoot.
She rocks!
She is able to make very difficult concepts seem like elementary school science. She is so great and there is a so much you can get out of her class.
She is a little out their, but as long as you study for the 10 question quizzes and study for the midterm you will be fine. the material isn't hard at all, it's just like high school CHEM. Great teacher.
Dr. Jackson is a great teacher overall. She can be a little hard to follow and a little kooky, but she really loves her students and will put the time into assisting you in anyway. I didn't buy the book, no lab, and I got an A. Softballs the tests and quizzes.
Dr. Jackson is hilarious and makes chemistry interesting! Also,she's the only chemistry teacher that won't make you learn boring things that don't apply to your field of choice.Don't bother buying the book, just look over her study guides and you should be fine! Also, show up to class. She takes roll and it's part of your grade, but not mandatory.
I took Jackson for nursing chemistry and she is by far one of the best chemistry professors I've ever had. She makes sure all her students are on the same page and never goes on if someone does understand. She's really funny and keeps the class interesting. She gives quizzes every week during lab, but attendance isn't required for lecture.
I hated chemistry and felt like I was going to dread this class. I have learned so much and I actually enjoy going. She has crazy ways of remembering, but it helps. She also only teaches things you need. She doesn't care about the useless information.
LOVED HER! If I made an A in Chemistry then anyone can! She doesn't use the book and she will help you anyway she can!
Wellness was a decent class. Just make sure to do the labs or it is automatically half off the next week. I ended up with an A
