She's fun, presents the material in a great way, and makes the arduous process of learning how to write a good essay a very palatable endeavor. She will work with you, she's very fair, but don't arrive late and DON'T miss class. Highly recommend! (note: her Osceola campus classroom smells funny.. I don't know why.)
She is funny.... funny
A great teacher and has the ability to adapt to students learning skills.
Makes it so easy!!!!!!
Don't miss any of her classes, something will be due every period. She's wonderful, though. Take her class and put a little effort in... You may not get an A, but you'll leave a much better writer. A slim young redhead with brilliant eyes... Hey, a pretty smile makes any class more fun.
This was a very easyyyyyyyyy class. She made everything easy with handouts and the homework assignments she gave was based on things we were doing in class.
She is very nice and a good teacher.but if you do not put all your effort in into you will not do good
I love her. She is one of the two best teachers I had. She is funny, explains everything in the fullest detail. if you attend class and follow her fully detailed instructions you can't go wrong.
She is very easy and has a sense of humor. Just do all of your papers and follow directions and get an easy A. My greatest professor so Far!!
She is a very good professor overall. We have papers that are due almost every week, but its worth it!
Very EASY A! no tests or quizzes, all you get graded on are 10 essays all but one are only 500 pages. she is very funny and keeps the class interested! take her!
she is a wonderful professor. She will help you when you need it as long as you do the work. The work is very easy though. You have a 500 word researc paper due at the end of the semester. You will love her!
Love her! So organized, tells you exactly what she expects in your writing. Essay topics are fun & they let you draw ideas from your own personal experience. The class discussions are also fun and interesting! Try to fit her into your schedule, it's worth it! Thanks JZ! =)
I definitely recommend her! I had the chance to opt. out of Comp I and had I taken that opportunity, I would have missed out on learning under my best teacher so far. She really is great and I am a better writer for taking her class.
This teacher is AMAZING!!! The best teacher I have ever had! Really smart, VERY nice personality!! LOVED HER CLASS!!!!
She is the best teacher I have ever had! She really encourages you to use your personal experiences in your writing. She gives handouts for everything and they are always helpful. She also grades very fair because you really do earn your grade. Take her if u enjoy writing and a great teacher who auctually cares!
JZ is literally the best teacher ever, seriously. I loved everything about the class. She always finds ways to make u laugh and you still learn! I wish there was a picture of her here, because she is a beautiful teacher and will always find ways to help you learn.
Professor Zuromski is the only reason I got an A in this class. She is very helpful and funny. Always respond to my email's and was always there to help. Gave very clear instructions on all assignments. I'll recommend her to anybody.
She was a fantastic teacher. She makes learning fun, plus she is funny. There is a fair amount of work, but everything is clear on what she wants. Theres a lot of open discussions where she values everyones opinions. Take the class, you can't go wrong!
She is the worst teacher ever!Thinks, is awesome but she makes you do much stupid unnessearry stuff. You only write one essay the whole semester, but she makes you do a LOT of stupid little thing. Going to her class is pointless,a waste of time you don't learn anything. Still, all the work is mad easy and she always gives extra credit. Very EasyA
umm, i don't know where you're coming from saying shes the worst teacher ever, i guess u didnt do well in the class? i had her last semester and she was great. very helpful and fun. btw - if the class was so easy maybe u wouldnt have grammar errors in your comments :). DEF TAKE THIS CLASS!
I don't know who said she was bad, because she is great. Look at literally every other entry besides yours...ALL POSITIVE. She's literally the best teacher, but you wouldn't know since you wrote "Thinks, blah blah blah i dont know english" Seriously, take her, she is smart, helpful and clear. Not easy, but so worth the effort.
I actually did really well in the class until i slacked off at the end. shes great. lays out everything for the semester on day one. she grades fair. helps a lot. great teacher.
good teacher, too early to tell tho
she is a good teacher if you can get past her rudeness she can be pretty mean...dont miss her class ever!!! her class is way easy
She made this class so easy and explained everything crystal clear. It's english so you have to write essays of course, but she gives a hand out for what is expected for each paper and it helps you a lot. She's a fair grader and definitely willing to help and has a good sense of humor. Definitely going to take her for Comp II. :)
JZ is cool as hell. a lot of work but worth doing it cuz u learn so much. u gotta work for an A. she is very sweet and will help u with anything, TAKE HER!!! if u wanna learn!
She's great - no comment needed!
She's an awesome teacher!very clear with everything.Very helpful and she listens to her students.The amount of work she gives is just right.Not too much or too little.She gives enough time to do her work and turn it in.There's no excuse if you don't pass her class. Take her,she's great!
this is a hard class because there is a lot of work, but she is not that bad.. if you do what she say... its all good. no tests but quizes. 5 essays, 4 out of 7 responses papers. just follow instructions and you will get a good grade
Professor Zuromski is a wonderful teacher. She has not only eradicated my worry about English composition but also inspired me to write. Thank and love her very very much. Absolute recommendation!
she was was a really good teacher. would recommed her to everyone whos taking comp 1. just write your essays and you'll be good.
There is not much to say - she is the best professor I've had at VCC. Take her class if you can because it will improve your writing. Be creative - if it's already been said, you don't need to write it too.
Jacquelyn Zuromski is the best teacher ever. If the class has a good group discution in every response paper, they won't have a final exam. The final will be then the last essay that the class were doing. 3 mandatory essays and everybody can make up the bad grade of essays by doing another one. 4 response papers, and you are done. =]
I actually took Professor Zuromski for both ENC 1101 and 1102. She was wonderful and even though English has never been my strong suit when it has come to writing I still made an A in both courses :)Word of advice you better be on time she will mark you late even by a min. she gives the lay out to you clear as day just do as instructed sure 2 get A
Professor Zuromuski is a great professor. She is very organized; as long as you follow THE RUBRIC you will pass the class with an ?A?. She takes attendance, so make sure that you are not late for class, she hates when students walk in late. This class is simple, come to class,FOLLOW THE RUBRIC,& turn your work in on time.
JZ is really down to earth. There is a lot of writing, but they are smaller papers compared to other comp classes. All the essays are required to be around 3 pages in length. Her grading to be very easy and fair. And she always writes something on your paper after grading for a more personal touch with her students. Fun class.
Awesome teacher. Very helpful, a few essays but she guides you through them and at the end you come out with a great understanding of what it takes to write a great essay. Easy class, and you leave knowing the material.
She was great! A lot of essays,but it is worth it ! She is kind of funny and do not be late to her classes !
A good professor, not exceptionally great, but tries to be as helpful as possible. Be ready to write a lot of essay. Attendence mandatory. Not an easy A, however extremely helpful.
Anyone who doesn't think that Prof. Zuromski is amazing is impossible to please. She is funny, helpful and crystal clear in her directions. Discussion are always interesting and the work load is bearable. The papers are fun to write because she has you write about your own experiences. Do the work, proof read it and turn it in on time. Take her.
Prof Zuromski always brings up funny analogies in class that I can definitely relate to. Her syllabus is really clear and she has everything planned out for the whole semester on day 1. wish I could take her for comp 2!!!!
She's the best, you have to take her. The whole schedule planned out for you from the first day, only have to write 3 out of 5 response papers and 3 out of 5 essays. So funny and great discussions.
She is extremely helpfull. My first language is spanish and she taught me lots of things. The essays that you are supposed to write are extremely easy. Would recommend this teacher if you really want to learn
She is amazing!!! I absolutly hate english and i have never received an A before professor Zurmoski!!! She easy essays and has your grades within a couple of days!!!
Professor Zuromski is without a doubt the best teacher at Valencia Community College. She is hilarious, easy to talk to, brings up wonderful commentary - a lot like Jim Carrey. The Papers are extremely easy to write if you follow the Rubric. I wish I could take her for Math haha.
Prof.Zuromski is a great teacher.She is very fair and makes all requirements clear.I would tell all my friends to take her and I am going to take her again for comp 2.
She is awesome! I would say her class is easy because she makes it very clear what she wants done and the way it needs to be done. She is so helpful with everything. I would completely recommend taking this class! The class was always interesting and funny too. We used the book a couple of times, but it is mandatory. Overall though she is awesome!
I really loved Professor Zuromski's class. She's an awesome professor. If you attend class and do all of your assigned essays and homework you will PASS her class. I wish I could take her for CompI. If you want to learn more about writing skills take Professor Z. She's very structured and well organized. She was always on time and prompt for class.
She was an awesome teacher. I would def recommend her to other students. All you have to do is follow her guidelines and instructions and you will do great. She tries to make her class fun and interactive.
Professor Zuromski is the best among the best at the Valencia Communications Department.She deserves to be the head in some area, because her hard work and dedication alone illustrates. I am pleased to reccomend any student who is going to take this class to take Prof. Zuromski. I got an B in her class-- I am to be blamed because.
Professor Zuromski is absolutely the best english teacher I've ever had. She deserves a gold medal for her teaching skills. Her class is an easy A if you just attend every session and complete the assignments ON TIME. She grades fairly and her discussions are the best. take her!
I don't like writing or english at all and I am extremely lazy. So, you can guess why I got a B in this class. She gives 5 essays in which if you get an A in the first, you don't have to do the second. And you only do 3 RP. So, great teacher.
Shes nice and enthusiastic teacher.NO TXTBOOK REQ! as long as you do your homework on time its an easy A. only had one research paper, but she broke it up so it took half of the semester!then just reading an easy book for the rest and made up our own test questions.answers questions. Shes the best! :) btw im not even a fan of ENC classes.
Prof. Zuromski was BY FAR the BEST college teacher I have ever had. She made the class current and fun. I learned a ton of writing techniques that I will totally be able to use later in my career. Her class is a lot of work, but It's fun. If you keep up with it, it's easy. I wish she taught other subjects.
she is an amazing prof. lots of papers to write but i love a challenge. she breaks it into categories. one for essays,second for response papers, and the last for workshops. she lets you pick 3 out of 5 response papers to write and etc. you need only one book for her class..the 75 plus. she is nice funny and helpful. really enjoyed her class :)
Professor Zuromski is awesome! She's one of those professors that truly care about their students! TAKE HER NO QUESTIONS ASKED! :)
Professor Zuromski is a great teacher and will teach you how to write an essay properly!
LOVED HER. Not only was she a great teacher, but a great person. She's funny, clear, structured and understanding. She is the reason I am considering becoming a English professor. Her class was great, not too difficult but just difficult enough that when you get a good grade you feel proud and accomplished. I would take her again in a heart beat.
She is AWESOME!super funny and you will learn.Essays are easy just apply what she teaches you.You will have 5 essays only 3 are mandatory if you score 90 or more are mandatory ones.they are only 2-3pg.There are like 5 response papers only 3 are mandatory.Everything you right is about your opinion and what you believe so its super easy. Take her!
Great professor. Every assignment in her class is per a schedule that she provides on the first day. She is clear with the instruction regarding the assignments. Take her class, she will do everything possible to help you get an A.
Great professor. She makes it very clear what exactly she expects from her students and tries to keep the class entertained. There was homework given and you had to read & write papers but what else does one expect from a comp class. I still found it easy and I would recommend her!
GREAT PROFESSOR! How can you not get a "B" at the very minimum. No exams or tests! Read the pieces and do the response papers (she likes the letter style). If you score an A on Essay 1, 3, & 5 you don't have to do 2 or 4...Oh Yea! Final is a breeze. Only downside was my class had some "clueless" students, but she handles them very well. Take JZ!
GREAT PROFESSOR. Prof Zuromski is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is very clear on what she wants, gives you plenty of time and is always there to help anyone who needs it. Great teacher, great class, I highly suggest taking her if you have the chance.
Zurmoski is really nice! She grades fairly and gave quite a bit extra credit. Class was fun and she usually gave interesting assignments. Only a couple quizzes. Write one paper and a bunch of annotated bibliographies. Final was hard because it was true or false but it wasn't worth much at all. Ended up with an A easy.
Most amazing teacher ever! Take her if you want to improve your writing. Class required work which I was willing to do and I made and A ;-)
JZ wants you to be the best writer you can be. There is a lot of work but it is necessary for craft improvement. Take her! She had me hanging on to every word.
I loved every minute of this class! I was dreading having to take English, but she made it really fun. 5 essays and 3 response papers, but if you get an A on essay 1 and 2, you don't have to do 3 and 4!! Class attendance is mandatory, there are a lot of in class grades, but as long as you're there and give it a try, it's easy.
She is disorganized, two-faced (talks polite to you, and then bashes you when you are away) the submitted writings for the phoenix are based on majority vote, when the majority of the class is not literate when it comes to the English language or does not read at all -- pointless, useless class, was not as fun as I hoped
She is very nice, but is very rude with little comments. Her feedback on the work DID NOT help at all. I'm so upset with this class. I'm taking it over with another teacher that will TEACH me.
Proff. Z was great. With all the writing and evaluating I really learned about other peoples writing and most importantly my own. She was really passionate about this class and the Phoenix, which shows. No textbook, but plenty of work.
Best instructor ive had she keeps you in line with her no non-sense policy and basically if you know how to follow directions you will pass
She is an excellent teacher. I love her strategies in writing and her class is so much Fun! I can wait to take her in Comp 2. If you are registered in her class, then call her JZ. She deserves to be called that.
With any class, you get what you put in. I took JZ for two terms and relished in every min. She genuinely cares about students and wants them to succeed but she's not going to do the work for you. Her insightful feedback help improve my writing which got me published! Take her, show up, do the work, and get a fairly easy A.
She is a VERY funny lady, for the semester she gave us a choice of using any 3 ed. of the same textbook (75 readings plus) to save money. Assignments are easy completion time of 1.5hr-2hr. Quizzes are scarce. Final depends of the majority of class and what they learned. Don't be late for her class. Teaches very well.
Prof. Zuromski is a great teacher! Her classes are interesting, and she tries very hard to help every student. I am very grateful I took her class, she is a wise woman. You can learn a lot from her. I am taking her again this semester for enc1102.
Really good teacher but can be boring at times. She's really helpful and you do a bunch of annotated bibliographies. You do one research paper the whole semester but its 5 pages long..
I REGRET taking this class.. all the reviews I read on her made her seem awesome but I really dont understand why. Shes not necessarily mean but she definitely wasnt the nicest teacher of all time. what makes her seem so mean is the fact that she grades so HARSHLY. Its just mean. So much work
Best English teacher EVER. Those how thought the class was hard must not have followed her very clear instructions. You DO have to work in this class, she's not going to just hand you an A. She is very friendly and makes discussions easy, inviting everyone to participate - which is part of your grade. DO THE WORK an you'll be fine. :)
Mrs. Zuromski is a wonderful teacher, she really teach English.
She's an awesome teacher and SOOOO FUNNY take her she's great and very helpful! Always there to help and good at answering emails. DONT BE LATE! your work wont be counted if your late. OVERALL great teacher ive taken her twice already.
Personally I've always excelled in writing, but one thing I particularly liked about her is how clear she is with what she wants from you. Rubric for everything! You have to put depth in your essays (easy for me) but she really helps you with w/e you need. 9 assigned essays but 3 are optional if you score an A. :)
Take her! The only way you can fail is if you do no work. The essays aren't difficult especially since you can always ask her for help
Take her!! You will get an A if you put in a little effort and follow her instructions. she is very generous with points as long as you do what she asks .which is not hard at all. You get a learn a lot too. I am glad I took her.
She is extremely funny! Professor Zuromski is charming and makes learning fun even though english can sometimes get boring. She can be a little picky in her papers but to be honest is all pretty good feedback! Take her!
She is best professor. She helpful and friendly. Give us a lot of paper to do but it help her students know how to write correctly format paper. In her class, she give us 4 respond paper and 5 essay, BUT you just need to write 3 respond paper.
monotone voice, lectures the whole class, gives assignment list not clear enough, 4 response papers, 5 essays two are optional if you pass the other 3 with 90's. Text book not required.
This class was easy to pass as long as you did the work and study. The professor does grade hard to prepare for college courses, other than that she is a good professor.
Mrs Zuromski is a great professor. She knows a lot and is always available to help students after class, by e-mail or in her office hours. Comp. I is not a easy course but she is there to help if you struggling, that's really matters to me! She upload the book content that we need on blackboard. You don't need to buy it!
One of the few professors that actually knows how to teach. Her lectures are very long and she's very strict but that balances out when she tells you exactly what she needs in her papers. if you want to learn I suggest you take her. Also if you get over a 90 on the first paper you don't have to do the second one & the process repeats for 4 papers
One of my favorite professors at Valencia. Outlines exactly what she expect and what day things are due, on the first day of class. 3 response papers and 5 essays (only 3 are required if you score high enough on the other 2). DO NOT buy text book, she will give you the readings you will need. Amazing teacher, I cannot wait for Comp II with her!
She is a very helpful professor and have an open door for everyone. Provide the material online for those who cannot affords it.
The best English professor Ever! I learned a lot in her class. She gives you the skills, and writing becomes easier. She really helped me to become a better writer. By the way she is not a tough grader and it's possible to get an A in her class. She is funny too, and I really enjoyed the class discussions! Thank you Prof. Zuromski!
I have become a better writer from taking this course! She goes into a lot of depth about how to decipher research you see on the internet to avoid believing false information. She also prepares you to write a college admission essay which was my favorite assignment thus far! Tough grader but she does care about your success!
Attendance is mandatory! She is an awesome teacher, you don't have to buy a textbook, she tries to save you money and provides everything you'll need on blackboard. I highly recommend, shes very helpful!
Essays are impossible. unclear. Our final exam was a 9 page paper with 25 citations. I followed all the instructions for the final and I ended up with a C- . I used Times New Roman and she marked off that I didnt use Times New Roman because it looked different to her. U go to the library for pointless "research"/ lessons. Waste of time. Do not take
Prof. Zuromski was the worst teacher i have ever had. She is very insensitive to personal issues. She gives alot of homework. Most of her class is just working on and towards the research paper. Things must be exactly how she wants it or there goes your grade.
Professor Zuromski is simply amazing. She is talented, professional, and competent. It is very evident how passionate she is about teaching and interacting with students. She really cares about our progress in class. Her differential is that we are not juts a number in one of her classes; she makes us feel valued. Take her class for sure.
I can't say enough good things about this professor. She was amazing. Kind of a tough grader, but she genuinely cares and wants to help you get better. She's really funny too, I never had a dull time in class.
It is almost impossible to not pass her class. This professor is well organized and is clear about grading criteria. She gives detailed instructions and helpful feedbacks. Her class is never boring, she is quite hilarious, and motivating. Overall an excellent professor.
Excellent Professor. Get ready to read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. Essays. Presentations and more.... Clear Grading Criteria. Good Organization
Prof JZ is amazing. I learned a some new things especially about poetry, and I loved the opportunity to discuss and edit other people's works. The class was small and Prof JZ worked personally with each one of us. Being part of the Phoenix magazine and having her guiding me along the way was one of the best things I did at Valencia College.
I loved her class. If you fail her class then that is 100% your fault. She does nothing but works with her students to not only make sure they pass but to make sure they know the material. She does assign class discussions but they're easy. She helped me become a much better writer. Definitely recommend taking her course!
Miss Zuromski is a great teacher, easy class to take. If you fail this class that your fault cause this class is soo easy. You don't do much work too.
She is amazing she does everything to help her students.
Professor JZ was honestly very open, honest, and very respectful to me and her students. She is honestly very organized, straightforward, and replies to her emails quite fast. I value her so much. Thank you for all your help this semester you are amazing. I'm so happy you were my professor :) This year you made me realize English is not so bad.
Miss JZ is an amazing professer. I would take her again and again if I have to. She is so caring for her students and not a tough grader at all. She is so understanding and will help you with your assignments. Take her you won't regret it.
She has a different grading method where there 2 categories: category 1 which is only complete/incomplete type of evaluation and a category 2 with a regular 100 points base. She also offers revisions for 2 category 2 papers.
Best Professor ever
She was an amazing professor and I would definitely recommend.
I did not speak english very well, but Professor Zuromski was able to understand me. One of the essays that I have wrote her class called "memory" which become one of the favorite and amazing essays
Very clear assignments, no material needed! She makes everything easy for you to succeed! Loved being in her class ;)
Took this class over the summer. She is very kind and caring. Not a lot of assignments or papers. No complaints.
She's an amazing professor and she helped me feel even more confident in my reading and writing ability
There's not enough good things to say about her. She's an amazing and funny professor!
She is a great teacher till it comes to grading. She gave my paper a zero, said it was “AI” with zero proof. I had my paper peer reviewed. When confronted she switched up her story, and still never graded it (after saying she would). Would not take her again. SHE HATES AI. SHE WILL FAIL YOU IF ITS FLAGGED FOR ANY AI and then lie to your face???!!!
