Keep in mind I got an A. Class is boring. Monotonous style of teaching and speaking - we went over the same stuff everyday of the semester. Class is a complete waste of time and money. Assignments are no handed back, so you don't know your grade. If you want to learn ESSENTIAL university writing skills, dont expect them from Jacky. Tough marker.

Honestly, avoid her. I mean, she's a great woman, don't get me wrong, but so ridiculously disorganized and boring. She was late getting things back to us, and, in addition to this, was late getting our final grades and term paper back to us. She is hardly helpful and way too slack. I would avoid her at all costs.

Avoid this teacher at all costs. She is extremely unclear in her instructions, she speaks extremely quietly when lecturing, and is completely scattered and unorganized in her presentation. She was not very helpful at all and gave minimal feedback on the paper. WASTE OF TUTION MONEY

I had Jacky for one of my English classes and was excited to take it but by the end of the class I can not wait to be done with her. I got an A in the class but this women only gives you a good mark if you agree to exactly what she thinks it does not matter what you think even if she is wrong. She is very disrespectful and very opinionated!!!

This class never mentioned academic writing ever. Her criteria for the 3 assignments is vague and she is a very tough grader. Her responses to the assignments are also vague so you don't know what you did wrong. She also marked the assignments so late there was no way to know how you could improve for the rest of the semester.

Super unclear grading criteria and very unorganized lectures, with material very unrelated to academic writing. There was little to no feedback given on assignments which made it difficult to improve writing skills; assignments were ALL marked the day before the exam, so there was no way to improve your mark over the semester. Super frustrating.

Her instructions for assignments were unclear, and she marked them so late. so you won't know what you did wrong. Never learned academic writing in this class.

This class was torment and I would never suggest this prof to anyone that wants to learn about academic writing. This was a waste of money and time and now I have to teach myself how to do academic writing. Please, read this review and don't ignore what I have to say. She does not teach anything related to academic writing. Nothing at all...

I would not suggest her to anyone who wants to learn academic writing. You will learn nothing at all. There's almost no feedback for the assignment even if you ask. She didn't make her requirement clear either, and she's definitely a tough grader. Don't take her class! Worst prof ever!

Definitely the worst prof I've ever had. Most classes consisted of youtube videos and we would be asked what they mean or to compare 2 videos. She doesn't explain anything and her assignments are very unclear. If you want to learn, DO NOT take this class. She won't teach you anything. Waste of money and time.

Oh man, about a year late writing this, but what a mess her class was. She was frequently late, only showed us music videos, was super late with grading and had strong political biases that filled up the majority of class time. Shes an easy grader, but thats about it. Once, while she was reading poem she dropped the n word, hard r and all.

worst prof ever. DO NOT take her you will learn nothing in her class. Usually end up watching some type pf music video, has nothing to do usually with the class. Does not explain anything clearly, makes everything so complicated to understand.

Nice enough as a prof, but her criteria is hard to follow. She can be a difficult marker and it's hard to explain your work fully since her assignments are short but worth a lot.

Jacky did not give a lot of structure to her course and it was difficult to figure out what she wanted from the assignments most of the time. She also struggles to grade assignments fast which can become a problem when the class and finals have been completed, but your mark is still not up to date.

Ive asked her for help during this semester she told me to figure it out myself, and that it is basic knowledge I shouldve already known. She also has not marked one assignment and our final is next week. Awful professor.

The criteria in this class is definitely not very clear. If you're taking 105 with the hope to improve your writing skills, I would try a different professor. The feedback given back on papers was very bland and in no way feedback to learn from.

Bolding gives very vague assignment expectations. Her lectures (which are just a few paragraphs) are very short and commentary style. She makes us watch youtube videos that barely connect to course content. Is a super tough grader. Overall, would NOT take it again. Waste of money and time

Extremely confusing feedback and instructions. Take her class if you want to learn absolutely nothing.

Jacky has probably the worst grammar of an english professor that I've ever had. Her instructions ALWAYS have typos and are so unclear. Its pretty much just her rambling on about the weeks content without real instructions. Her feedback is so general and unspecific too. Shell give a 30 second audio clip as feedback with no substance

This course feels unnecessary. Every assignment has been a summary on a random ted talk, her feedback is not helpful at all either. She doesnt give you ways to improve your writing and instead just grades the assignments hard. Her writing style gives me a headache too as her instructions are so unclear. She just seems lazy and unqualified to teach

Jacky is not a great prof. Her assignment instructions are so vague and there arent really any instructions or acual prompts, she usually just assigns a multitude of random online sources and tells us to write about it. She is also a slow marker so you cant even see your feedback to improve for the next assignment. I personally wouldnt recommend

It really seems like they just let anyone become professors at this school. I dont know how Jacky is qualified to teach honestly. Her assignments never have actual instructions, she just tells us to write what we think about it and there is never useful feedback. Her instructions are hard to comprehend and she just writes as if she is texting us

Omg I hated this course with Jacky. Her assignments were the most random things ever and she was never clear on her instructions in what she was looking for. For an english professor she should really work on her writing. I would not recommend Jacky as a prof. 1/10

awful. boring. uninteresting. vague.

I took this class online and I found this professor awful! she was a terrible grader and never handed anything back in time to make correction to my writing style of future assignments. at one point I was waiting for feedback on 4 papers and I had my final paper coming up. feedback was vague and given in a voice message form, very confusing too.

She doesn't know how to explain her assignments properly and whatever you understand isn't fully what she's asking of you. She says nice things about your assignments and comments on them, but then she proceeds to harshly mark the assignment that she didn't fully explain.

Jacky does not at all follow the rules that English teachers should be following. It's as though she's designed her own version of English that is not ideal whatsoever and I'm not quite sure where she got her degree from because it definitely hasn't been used by her. Almost as if it was granted to her through craigslist. Avoid her!!

Jacky Bolding does not mark assignments in a reasonable amount of time, does not post assignment outlines or follow her own syllabus. She leaves voice messages for critiques and grades very tough when she does not give clear instructions to assignments. Avoid her class if you can.

Very nice, but completely useless as a prof. Hard marker on unclear rubric for assignments. Seems to want no formal style of writing. Her marking is an audio file of her not making any sense of our writing. She hasn't explained the assignments properly and doesn't mark anything to improve upon. Such a mistake taking her. Unclear criteria

Well, what can I say. Took an English 105 course thinking I would be learning English and how it applies to an academic setting - i.e. summarizing, essay planning etc. Instead I was subject to insidious woke, feminist ideology that bordered on the racist. Honestly, for someone teaching English, she truely hates the language.

I thought I would learn how to write a research paper or, you know, something that has to do with English. Nope. If this was a feminist studies, gender studies, or a cultural studies class she would probably be a great prof. But for an English class? No. All we've done is watch TED talks, music videos, and youtube clips. Don't waste your money.

more like a librarian than a prof. Probably should retire soon as she clearly lacks the energy needed to teach, which is unfortunate because she is a very very nice person. Extremely vague in marking and assignments, always goes on hour long unrelated tangents, then ends class early. Also super quiet during lectures and kinda awkward with students.

Wasn't the best

Jacky is extremely disorganized and unhelpful. Her grading criteria are unclear, and her feedback often doesn't make sense. She takes a long time to return marks, and her evaluations seem based on personal opinion rather than quality. Even strong work isn't graded fairly. I do not recommend her at all.

She's really nice and very gracious with due dates, but she's simply a bad professor. She'll mention how to do something one class, and by the next class, she'll say that's not how you do it. No grading rubric, just personal opinion. All lectures are YouTube videos and the audiobook. Don't waste ur money. This class is not about academic writing.

This class had unclear expectations, was disorganized, assignments were removed throughout the term & she did not follow the syllabus at all. Half the time I couldn't remember what class this was because I felt like I was not learning anything to do with academic writing. Felt like a waste of time & money. Her feedback was vague and unhelpful.
