Beautiful speaking voice. Very eloquent. I enjoyed the literature that she presented to us- though she is somewhat right wing, she's careful not to shove it down your throat (though I wouldn't say she's open minded). I thought her class was fun, except for the idiots in my class that just begged for an A.

As others have said, she has a BEAUTIFUL speaking voice. Her class isn't the easiest class, but she makes you think and write about controversial subjects such as global warming. Also, for Comp I, she has you watch controversial movies such as "Crash" and "An Inconvenient Truth". She lets you use slang to a degree in your papers. Excellent teacher!

I had Mrs. May for English Comp 2. I don't know how anybody could think this was a difficult class. Great teacher. Easy to do well if you put forth effort. She found a way to interpret nearly every poem or story we read as having something to do with sex lol, which is funny considering a lot of us considered her the hottest teacher we've ever had.

Amazing teacher. Although she knows her stuff and is quite humorous, she strays a lot from the subject. She doesn't follow the syllabus. For our class, she cancelled our midterm and final exam and moved the grade weight onto other assignments. We spent the entire semester watching movies and submitted few assignments. Easy and hardly any work.

Professor May had some great lectures and was very passionate about her teaching. She was easy to reach outside of class and had quizzes on readings which were very easy as long as you read the assignment that was given. Overall, I totally recommend.

I took Professor May for English one and two online, and I wish I could take her class again. She is very kind and all the assignment instructions are clear. She gives great feedback on assignments and is always quick to respond if you need help. She made her class enjoyable for everyone. Best professor I have had so far!

Jacqueline May was a fairly easy teacher. I had her for English Comp I online and there were three or more papers to write throughout the semester and quizzes that went along with the topics. Not too difficult, not too easy.

Don't take this class. She doesn't believe in giving 100% on writing assignments. She will give you a 95 and say well done without feedback on how you can improve. She automatically marks off points because "nobody's a perfect writer".

I took Professor May for English 2 online. There were six papers, a research project on an author, and the rest were questions from reading or journal posts. She's an easy grader on the questions and posts. Make sure you remember to put your papers in MLA and follow the grading rubric. She's not the toughest grader or the easiest for the papers.

There are a decent amount of writing assignments. She gives feedback that you can use for future references. There are some quizzes, but they're pretty easy as long as you read the information provided. Use credible sources for the research project/presentation (electronic library). Make sure assignments are in MLA format.

The material she had us read was often unsettling and uncomfortable. I understand wanting to make the reader somewhat uncomfortable, but we read 2 stories about sexual assault, one about abortion, two that seemingly mocked religion, 2 about war, and one about social and economic injustice. If that's your cup of tea, go for it. It wasn't mine.
