Was always responsive to emails, knew subject, wanted students to learn & improve. Nice but tough.

This was a great class and it was obvious that the professor truly cared about whether or not his students were improving in their writing. He wanted everyone to do good, and was always available for help through office hours or email.

The best. He's very funny and has the best accent. He is always ready to help.

He's great! He gives plenty of mercy when you mess up and is there to help out if something is going wrong. I actually know how to write.

Mr. J is excellent...you have to be willing to work, but he's really a brilliant man, and it is honestly a privelege to have him as a teacher. Take him for whatever class you can get him for!

Great teacher, easy on the eyes! Be prepared to work hard and participate. He will challenge you but this is what makes his class fun!

Mr. J helped me improve a lot in my writings. He is tough but he actually teaches you things that help you as a writer. He is a wonderful guy with a great accent and an amazing teacher!

great tech!!

Mr. J was a wonderful teacher. At first he might scare you but he is actually a great and fun person. He knows a lot about what he's talking about and wants the people in his class to improve. Be prepared to work!!

The class is a lot of work but u do learn a lot. He is fun, but is hard on grading. He doesn't teach you, the book does and if he disagrees with something that the book says then it will show on your grade. Overall it was a great class. NOT an easy A.

Carl Jenkinson is easily the best professor I've ever had. He pushed me very hard and because of that I am far more prepared for the rest of college than before I had his class.I'm very glad to have had his class and hope to get him for another class.

I hated him at first but by the end of the semester, I loved him. His class is very challenging and you will have to spend hours on assignment and a very hefty semester-long group project, but it's definitely worth it because he knows what he's teaching.

At first I thought he was just an a**hole. But then he became the best professor I ever had! Not easy but he won't let you fail if you do what he tells you to. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS FOR AN EASY A. Doesn't except excuses! Do the work and pay attention. He WILL call you out in class! Great teacher I got a B+ (this coming from a 1.8 GPA)

Carl is the best teacher I've had at USC. He truly cares about his students and is beyond helpful in every aspect from career advise to dogs the man is amazing. I highly recommend taking this class!!

Mr. Jenkinson is a very fair man....He would help you get through the class but you have to show that you are willing to work hard. He seems hard at first BUT work with him. Advice to all, DO NOT BE RUDE TO HIM and you would have a smooth sail in the class. AND NO YOUR OWN WORK......NO COMPROMISES. Stick with this and you are sure to do well.

He's very scary at first, but if you do the MASSIVE workload you'll probably be okay. I like him very much as a person, but he teaches the class like it's grad level.

Great, fun professor. After his class, writing papers for other classes are easy. He really made class fun, he picked on us and we picked on him. Some people think he is insulting, but those are just people who are too serious about things and can't take being picked on. He doesn't really mean anything he says if he picks on you. If I remember correctly, one time my class talked him into having half a class one time and just to give us our test back and let us leave. Both times were Friday classes.

Mr. Jenkinson is a very reasonable man. He is understanding, but he expects a lot. You have to be willing to work hard, but if you do, he will work with you. Class was interesting because all we did was talk, but you have to do the reading. Be polite and do not cheat and he will love you. Just a little clarifying though...he's definitely not hot.

Mr. Jenkinson is a great person with a great sense of humor. He truly loves what he teaches as well. The only problem is how he grades papers. I still don't understand it. He tends to grade harshly however he is very willing to work with you for a better grade. Take his class if you want a challenge.

Carl is amazing! I loved his class.. Beginning of the semester, it's a lot of work.. and theres a group project.. but it's well worth it in the end.. He knows what he's talking about and has taught me a lot that will help me out in the real world of business!

I had him a few semesters ago for business writing and I had a bad first impression of him, but by the end of the semester, I realized his toughness was for the best. I now have a job where I write product manuals and regularly correspond with customers, so I am constantly asking myself, "Is this good YOU ATTITUDE?"

This was a tough class. Mr J quizzes every class and expects a lot for hw and participation, which is part of your grade. He grades tough but he will always help you out. NOT an easy A, even if you're an A sudent, but I recommend him. He can be a hardass but you learn a lot and he's funny as ****.

Lots of reading, lots of work. Each class is precisely scheduled and followed strictly. Attendance is mandatory. Once in class, and you better be on time, you'll begin the daily Quiz. This instructor gives 110% in making English 102 your most valuable class. A brilliant individual and extremely helpful. He's the instructor's instructor.

Mr. J is a great English teacher. Yes he is a pain in the a** when it comes to attendance, but the class will prepare you to write on a college level. Great Class. Not to mention, he is the funniest teacher I have ever had.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Even though I had some trouble with him at the start, if you READ and DO YOUR WORK he is very fun in class. He has a great sense of humor (though you don't have to be well-read sometimes to understand it). The texts are interesting and HE MAKES YOU A BETTER READER. Hands down I will take him again.

Carl is the best teacher I have had at USC. Don't get me wrong I thought he was an **** when I first met him, but its a front, if you do your work and participate you will do fine. He is a tough teacher but extremely helpful. I loved his class

Mr J is awesome. He is easily the best professor I have had at USC. He expects a lot but you learn a ton and I feel prepared for writing in college. He HATES slackers and gives then a hard time. Class is fun but be prepared to work. I'd take him again anytime.

Best teacher ever. He is tough and I got an F on my first paper but now I am making an A/B in the class. Mr J has helped me to be more organized in my writing. He is always ready to help and gives rewrites as long as your work is in on time and you try. I totally recommend him--he actually cares about his students.

I have never had a teacher who cared more about his students He never looks down on his students He would do anything in his power to help you but you have to put in the effort The people who give him bad reviews are the people who dont put forth any effort and they EARN bad grades You get out what you put in to this class In the end he is a fantas

By the way I forgot to mention he is an Orioles fan, but we cant hold that against him. He cant cheer for the great New England teams (Red Sox, Patriots)because he is British and has to remain loyal to the crown.

Mr J. is awesome. The first day of class will scare you to death. But as long as you really try and you put in effort, he will help you a lot. As long as you arent really lazy you should be fine. You do have to read the hw if you want to sound like a competent person, but it was my favorite class so far.

Great guy, Awesome teacher. only prof i cared to look up after having taken his class about 2 semesters ago.

Incredibly hard class at first and he can be a hardass. I nearly dropped but I 'm glad I stayed. Once you get used to him you see Mr J really cares about his students. Mr J will help you out with anything if you show up and do the work. It has prepared me for the real world. I learned the most in this class and I had a good time.

Carl is a hard and very opinionated fellow, but a very helpful and knowledgable teacher at the same time. He has prepared me for a real job, and the class is totally worth taking. Dont let him scare you the first day. The book is a little expensive too.

Dr. J is my favorite teacher that I've had at USC so far. His class is very interactive, and he genuinely cares about what you have to say. He grades tough, but you're almost guaranteed to improve because of it. He'll answer any questions you have at any time and is always positive. I always look forward to his class.

Dr. J expects you to act like an adult in his class, so the people that are complaining about his "busy" work and his attitude: welcome to college. This is actually the first class I've taken that I've felt like I wasn't being treated like a little kid or doing meaningless work. Also, Dr. J is super hot and has a British accent... can't complain

This class was challenging, but if you just go and talk to him about assignments you will be completely fine. Participation and hw are a huge part of this class. He takes this class very seriously to try and get students to learn how to be able to communicate properly. He expects a lot but not anything un fair. Also he leaves instructions up to you

Dr. J is one funny/sassy/Britt. He has been my favorite professor so far. He is a tough teacher because he makes you pay attention to detail (the little things matter). Half of the semester is really easy and the second half of the semester is the group project. The group project sucks but when you finally complete it you feel accomplished.

Dr. J is the only professor I would take the time to write a review about. He takes the time to get to know if, even if it doesn't seem like it. He teaches for you to learn and grow, not to get an A. Take the time you need on the group project, you can't finish it in a day. If he taught anymore classes, I would take them in a second.

Dr. J is one of the best teachers I've had here at USC. He truly cares about his students, but be prepared to work harder than you ever have in any other class. You will need the textbook for assignments and make sure you pay attention to every detail in his emails, instructions, etc. It was a difficult class, but I learned a lot.

Dr. J's class was the most difficult class I've take at USC, but the most rewarding. I have grown more in this class than any other, due to his tough love. He teaches you to become detail oriented and how to be an adult. You will certainly be frustrated many times during his class, although you will appreciate it in the end. 100% would recommend.

Dr. J will teach you applicable skills and concepts used in business world. He has changed the way I write emails, texts and how to speak to others. Its a great class but you will get frustrated a ton either by him or the grades he gives you. He starts stern at first but later is a very caring prof who wants you succeed but you have to give effort.

Class is mandatory, and you must be on time. It is a challenging course, but a great growing and learning experience. Cares for students and is always available to them. Would recommend.

Dr. Jenkinson has very high expectations, but clearly lays out what he wants. At times, assignments can become stressful (particularly the group project and speech/paper), but if you read the rubrics and check your email often to know what Dr. J wants, as well as go to office hours (key!) and to the CBC, you'll most likely get a B+ or A.

*READ RUBRIC BEFORE CLASS+PUT PHONE IN BAG BEFORE YOU WALK IN* his main lesson of this class is to prepare u for the real world, he might seem tough at first but he has great sense of humor and wants u to succeed. Learn to be comfortable and this will be the most rewarding class you take. don't take if u don't want to learn or try, if u do ur fine.

This won't be an easy A, but the class is well worth the effort. There is no final, but a group project that you start working on mid-way through the semester. Jenkinson has a strict no-technology policy, and it may be annoying, but I understand why he does it. Make sure you do your homework and buy a used version of the textbook.

Dr. J is a great professor. There is a ton of work throughout the entire semester, but you will learn a ton. Do your work and stay on top of things and its a great class.

Dr. J is an awesome professor. This class is admittedly a lot of work, but you will leave the class having learned a lot and feeling more like an adult. Do the work that is expected of you and getting a good grade won't be difficult. Slacking off will bury you in this course though, certainly not an easy A

Professor Jenkinson is the best professor I've had at USC. He goes above and beyond to teach you about business and about life. This class requires a lot of work, but in my opinion it was well worth it. If you're looking to really learn, this class is for you.

If you can take Dr. J, I fully recommend it. Dr. J is my favorite professor at USC and you will learn more real life skills in this class than any others. The class starts and finishes tough, but if you listen and do your work you should get a A.

If you are easily-offended. Don't take him. If you don't like going to class or participating in class, don't take him. If you like using your phone or laptop in class, don't take him. However, if you are ready to work and do things the way he wants, you will learn a lot from this class. It's not an easy A, but it is your most useful option.

This class will help build your professionalism so much. If you have the option to take this teacher please do. He really cares about making sure students are prepared for the outside world after graduation. He will teach you so many important skills for your writing and speaking.

Take Dr. J for MGMT 250. You have to work hard for your grade, but you learn a lot about being professional and the class environment is great. I learned a lot & felt everything was clear and fair. He's very upfront about grading and rigor. Don't touch your phone in class or be unprofessional and you're good. An A is achievable if you participate.

Dr. Jenkinson's class is not the easiest MGMT 250 class, but he is the best professor and you will learn so much. He makes you work for your grade but he also gives great lectures. Don't let his British humor offend you, he really cares about his students. Don't use your phone though and participate!

AMAZING! Dr J is the best professor I've had during my 4 year of college. He is really really great, he wants you to do well. His teaching methods make you come out of the class with knowledge that you will actually use in the real world. You would be silly not to take him. His humour is very British, enjoy it.

Dr. J is by far the best professor I have ever had. His MGMT 250 class is the best one you could possibly take, and you will come out of it having learned tons of useful information. The class is difficult, but if you put in the work it's not hard to make a good grade.

Dr. J is a tough but awesome professor for this class. He is very clear from the beginning what he wants from you, but won't remind you of certain due dates, so refer to the syllabus constantly. He knows his stuff and will make sure you do too. One group project that makes up a about half your grade. Super helpful class for the real world.

Dr. J is the best MGMT250 professor you can have... if you're willing to work for it. He's the most caring, genuine man you'll meet but has high expectations. Keep your phone away, do your homework, and pay attention and you'll be fine. Don't expect to know what grade you'll get until the end of the semester : everything is due the last few weeks.

I learned so much about professional communication in Dr. J's class. There is no textbook required, but you have to print out and read/annotate lots of articles and online textbook pages for homework. He has a dry sense of humor and will pick on students who don't pay attention or argue with him, but you'll be fine if you participate.

Dr J. is pretty tough.. BUT I would say he is one of the most influential and best teachers I've had. This is one of the only classes where I actually feel like I learned useful information such respect and grit. If you want to get the most out of this class, take Dr. J. He is sweetheart at heart. Don't you dare take your phone out during class.

I don't understand how this professor's ratings are so low when he's very straightforward with how he teaches. He's blunt. He expects the most out of you. He teaches you how to think. His outlook on teaching isn't to give the class an easyA, but to benefit you in the future. Don't take him if you want a grade, take him if you want an education.

Dr. J is very blunt and not the kindest but he cares for his students and actually wants his students to gather and retain important information that pertains to stuff beyond education. Class is not an easy A but you learn a great deal.

All of these ratings are ludicrous and clearly don't understand Dr. Jenkinson's intentions. he cares and is a great teacher.

As you can tell by some of the other reviews, do not take this class if you are sensitive. He is a great guy, but he expects a lot out of his students. I learned so much in this class, the only problem is that it is very difficult for a MGMT 250 class. As long as you put in effort and talk to him/use resources, you will learn to love him.

First two months of class there is homework (notes) assigned every class session. As the class progresses he assigns less homework and you focus more on projects. I really liked his lectures and found them interesting, however, Jenkinson can be a harsh grader. If you can avoid taking him, I probably would choose someone else.

Dr. Jenkinson holds his students highly accountable in his MGMT 250 course. Be sure to carefully read all of his emails; he may purposefully misspell certain words and see if you notice in class. Despite failing the course, I have a tremendous amount of respect for the man and his unorthodox methods.

Dr. J is the man. Learned a ton in this class that is applicable to real world situations. Would recommend.

When you're in the class, you may or may not hate the way he teaches but by the end of it, if you have paid attention, you will become a far better writer than if you had not taken the class. Again, if you pay attention, you'll be fine. Just don't walk into class late or on your phone.

Goat, best teacher I've had, tough love teaching process

Dr. J is one of the best professors I have ever had. I seriously learned so much from his class. He very much cares about student success. I literally cried to him because I accidentally copied a sentence word for word and he was so kind to me and knew it was a mistake. AWESOME

Dr. J is extremely misunderstood. Initially he is difficult to figure out but once time goes on you get comfortable. He doesn't allow phones or electronics in class, but that's to maintain focus and a professional setting. He provides GREAT feedback and genuinely cares. If your'e professional and prepared you will do good. It is alot but worth it.

Dr. Jenkinson was a different professor from anyone i've ever had. He was very straight forward. Each class you were expected to have read at least 4 articles and come prepared to talk about them all class. Although is was work load heavy, I feel like I learned a lot about professional communication.

Dr. J is a good professor he just has a different way of doing things. He enjoys making things more difficult than they need to be at times, but I can't complain since I passed the class with a B+. Make sure to do the readings for class and don't expect to miss any classes without it affecting your participation grade.
