Ms. Kierbow is a really nice teacher. She is always willing to help her students out. Sometimes her notes are unclear, but if you need her for anything she'll help. She wants her students to pass, and her being a student herself made the class easier because she understands her students and what it takes to pass that class
Ms. Kierbow is witty and fun. She does a good job of teaching students how to write because she provides lots of examples. She is also willing to meet students outside of class. Her class is also fun cause she writes on the board a lot. nice view
I hated Jade's class for most of the semester because she kept making us revise our papers and I thought it was stupid to keep working on the same thing. But she always told us that the only way to learn how to write is to practice, practice, practice. She was right. I learned a lot from her. Take her class. you will learn too.
She's a good teacher. Some students don't like her because she's demanding, but if you do your homework and read the books, you'll be fine. Also, you'll learn something from her.
Very great but you have to be willing to put in effort in your work. GO TO OFFICE HOURS! I can't stress this enough. Very helpful. Remeber to keep an open mind.
Very great professor as long as you are willing to put real effort into your work. GO to office hours. I can't stress that enough. Very halful if you ask. Do your work and don't half ass it and you will be fine. Keep an open mind and don't be afraid to ask questions. She is really great but not easy so don't think you are going to just pass.
She mad me like english. She is extremely helpful and works with the students. She allows revisions on the first 2 essays. She prepares the students for 1102. great Job.
She is an amazing teacher and really gets you prepared for future classes. She is always willing to help and you really have to put the work into the class but as long as you show effort she is also looking to help. I would def. take her again!
She is a GREAT teacher! She is not extremely hard but she does expect the best from you and offers help whenever you need it. She is young as well so in a way she can relate to you. One of the best english teachers I have had! I highly recommend her.
she was extremely wishy washy and couldnt get papers back on time. if i had to take her again i think i would prefer to quit school or transfer to some foreign land because thats how bad she is at teaching.......oh one last thing she was never in the office on time when her hours were posted if she showed at all
I really enjoyed Jade's class. She allowed us to revise two essays which totaled to a possible maximum of 6 out of class essays. It was a lot of work but it did help me learn. Also, she stays after class to talk to students or talks to them in her office. That really helps with the revisions. I recommend her class
I love this teacher! The material she uses to teach is awesome. We used Kanye's Album for example. We revise our first college essays and she really makes you think. She's funny, a bit sarcastic, and she puts out just as much as she puts in. Take Kierbow for English!!!
I dropped English 1102 twice for two semesters than I took her and passed with a B!! She is great, she helps you out alot, go to her office and talk to her after class and she will help you understand. Class is not boring, she trys to make it interesting as possible. Recommend her def!!
she is the best. she's close to the age of her stuents and she can relate very easily. one of the best teachers iver ever had. i would recomend her to anyone. specialy freshmen.
She has the best personality in the world, explains everything well, and picks interesting topics for learning. She will also work with you on whatever you need help with. Her prompts are kind of weird but all in all, this was a very fun class. I advise anyone taking this class to attend it everyday. take my word for it. got a B
I LOVE THIS TEACHER!In english, when it comes to writing I dont do to well. Beginning of da semester i wasnt confident but walkin out at the end of the semester I was ready to take English 1102.Her class is interesting, she makes us think and interact with each other. She also takes very part of an essay step by step.TAKE HER CLASS!U WONT REGRET IT
Prof. Kierbow is awesome. She is hard but helpful. She expects a lot but walks students through the writing process so its easy to understand what she expects. I feel confident in 1102 this semester because of her. She's also mad sexy cuz she's got brains and red hair
krunk teacher!
very intersesting teacher!
Okay so I was really into English when I took her class, but taking it I learned I didnt know much about the Fundamentals of writing. She is an interesting person to talk to and is really mellow, I was late almost everyday and she would crack up with me. remember to READ everything she has up there...YOU WILL BE TESTED, but I managed to make a B
If I didn't transfer I wouldn't have taken anyone else for English 1102! She makes herself very clear in what she expects from students. She trys to keep class entertaining. Go to her with helps for your papers and read the assignments before class because she will quiz you! She treats you like a college student so go into her class room and act li
Make sure to always read before class! If only a few people read the book, then she'll kick everyone out of class. Never make her angry.
Very good Teacher!!!!
Very fun and helpful. She has to be one of my favorite teachers. Better read the books though.
great teacher
great self-staging class
She is one of the best teachers I've ever had! I never liked English prior to taking her class. Now writing is getting easier and easier the more I do it. She explains everything clearly, very interactive with the class, and always available if you need help. Just make sure you read and take notes before each class. Take her class! It's worth it!
awesome teacher!
I had to repeat 1101 because my first teacher was an evil you know what who made me feel like I was incompetent, but it turns out I'm a pretty decent writer I even got an "A" when I took Kierbow.....TAKE HER because your life depends on it......I'M SERIOUS....but if you think this is going to be an easy "A" think again...I worked hard for my "A"
Great teacher, my favorite one for my college career!
She works hard to make even the most boring books interesting. Really helps you learn how to write. Expect to work before papers though
So self-staging was really easy. There were a lot of fun activities that we did throughout the semester that actually made you want to go to class and presenting really isn't as hard as it sounds as long as you do what she tells you. Only downside was there was a lot of work, especially when it came to group presentations and interviews.
excellent teacher! makes class so much fun!
Wonderful teacher, extremely helpful, answers questions clearly, class was fun, grading is extremely hard on papers. I'd recommend her.
She is great for self staging. She makes class so much fun and you will always know what she wants and what is expects. I would def recommend her and she is great.
Prof. Kierbow is dedicated to helping her students learn how to write correctly. She puts in extra time on behalf of the students. She explains her expectations clearly, and she gives lots of extra help before papers are due to students who ask for it. If students will follow her guidelines, they will be successful in class.
AWESOME professor!!!! Listen carefully, take lots of notes (she gives you ideas for papers in class while talking) and go see her when need help BEFORE each paper. She will really help you. Also, she makes the class really interesting and makes you view things in new ways!
Amazing professor... Looks intimidating but she's cool (don't be scared of her, & her red hair) Loves teaching and you'll never forget what you've learned in her class. I had her for Self Staging, not really an easy A, but you'll enjoy going to class
really helpful. nice once you get to know her (comes off kind of mean). but maybe that is just me. GO TO HER FOR YOUR PAPERS IT REALLY HELPS YOU PASS! but overall,, GREAT teacher . i recommend her.
Ms. Kierbow can come off being very intimidating but she is just being honest. Very helpful ifyou go to her for your papers and is very clear on what the assignment is about. she is willing to offer help, you just have to be willing to take it. word of advice : READ THE BOOKS AND TAKE GOOD NOTES ON THE BOOK!!!
Best professor I've ever had. Goes through writing process step by step in class and is very clear on what she wants. Extremely helpful.
Great teacher I had her the whole year and have no complaints. I will recommend that you stay on top of all your work!
Jade is an amazing teacher. While intimidating at first, she is actually really helpful and is willing to know her students on a personal level. I'm so glad I took her class. I recommend her to anyone! Plus she's good looking;)
She is a great professor and really knows how to teach. She knows all of her students and their strengths/weaknesses and is understanding. She will be more than happy to help you and will make you a better writer. She has a great sense of humor that makes class more fun. Towards the end, we even watched SNL in class to help with stress and exams
Best teacher every! i took her for 1101 and 1002 and got a B! highly recommend!
Amazing professor! This course is so much better than public speaking and actually teaches you a lot about how to "stage yourself" in a variety of real world situations. She is extremely helpful and encouraging and even convinced me to change my major to english. Awesome professor.
I'm usually very good at writing papers, never made below an A. I was even an English major at first. Loicano is tough; harsh grading. Good texts/film at least for papers. GO TO THE WRITING CENTER! A LOT! She needs to see your effort! I managed to get an A, but I couldn't have done it without the writing center and going to her office hours.
She chooses interesting things to write papers on but she grades the papers harshly. I went to the writing lab for each paper and was told it was a good paper, then she tore it apart.
Probably the best professor I have ever had. Very helpful! Intimidating at first but you learn what you need to learn. Always go to class and make sure you pay attention. She makes the conversations interesting. She tore my first paper to pieces but ended up with a B+. Go for help if you need it. She likes seeing people care. Take her!!!
Amazing professor. I wish I could take her every semester! Made me a more comfortable public speaker in just a few short months!
She can be very intimidating when you first start class but that goes away after you get to know her. She makes it very clear what she expects in class and is very fair and honest. Participation and attendance is mandatory. Definitely one of my favorite professors and helped me become a better public speaker
Great professor! I wish I could take her again for a class. She is all about making students feel comfortable speaking in public. No tests or quizzes. She makes you talk in front of the class everyday though. She requires 10 journal entries and then 3 speeches and one is a group speech. I loved her class.
She's a overall great person, very outspoken and doesn't mind kicking you out.
She is tough but awesome. You will learn how to write and think like a college student in her class. She's also funny and hot.
She is a great professor and she LOVES Harry Potter. She is also willing to help muggles and non muggles during her office hours.
She's tough, she'll make you work for it, and in the end, she will be the best teacher you've ever had.
Great teacher. Very relatable.
She grades following a set of rules to a t. Maybe because we were literature majors she decided to grade hard. It's okay because now i know literature isn't for me. It's only going to get harder.
Great professor, definitely encourages you to open up in her class and drives you to produce your best work. Three presentations - one being a "Shark Tank" group project (be aware this is 20% of your grade) - and a mock interview. She has no shame and will give you the full benefit of her class. Definitely would take again.
Great Teacher!!! Really knows what she s talking about and how to make the class fun with improv games. Only 3 presentations and do the journals.
I love professor Loicano! Most people think that she is hard, but she actually is not if you pay attention and also come to class. She helps you out ALOT
I hated English coming in. She pushed my creativity out and I thank her for that. She inspired me to change my major to English, shocking right? Everyone says that she is hard but if you do the work, you'll be fine.
She's very relatable and she teaches you things you'll use for the rest of your life. No tests, just speeches. I know, the idea terrified me too. But the way she teaches, and the methods she uses to prepare you are beyond genius. I never thought I would enjoy this class as much as I did. Also do your journals, they're so easy.
She is the greatest professor at UWG
I had professor Loicano for two classes last semester and she was the best professor i have had so far. First day of class she seems kind of scary but she is super funny and makes class interesting. She is a tough grader so it is not an easy A, but try and ask for help and she will. Get on her good side and be on time!
I had Professor Loicano for Public Speaking, and I was beyond nervous going into this class but she made it fun for everyone. By the end of the semester her class felt like a safe place where all of us could freely express ourselves. Yes there is some difficult assignments, but this is college so not everything will be a simple walk in the park.
Awesome Professor! Makes public speaking comfortable and cares about her students succeeding. You will be challenged in this course, but it's one of the best I've ever taken. Take her!
Loicano has by far been my favorite professor here. She will definitely make you work for your grade, but she gives you all of the tools to do well. She has always been really good about responding to my emails for help (even when I'm having such a hard time I'd send her one sentence at a time to help me with). She's very understanding. 10/10
Loicano is one of the best professors you can ask for. She commands (not demands, COMMANDS) respect while still respecting her students. She is so helpful with writing papers and also with helping her class grow as human beings. If you can get Loicano, GET LOICANO. She's the best thing you'll have happen to you in college.
Loicano is one of the best professors you can ask for. She commands (not demands, COMMANDS) respect while still respecting her students. She is so helpful with writing papers and also with helping her class grow as human beings. If you can get Loicano, DO IT. She is so great. GO TO CLASS. It's not "mandatory", but, it's mandatory. Ya know.
Professor Loicano treats teaching the way it should be. She grades based on skill without bias, and she has definitely got the credentials and skill to do what she does. She is always willing to help students in and out of class, and will even help students with emotional problems and things unrelated to class. Her office is also a safe space.
She's blunt and honest and she taught me more in a semester than I've learned in my entire time in college. You should take her. She's the best professor at the school
She is an awesome professor and actually makes class fun. I enjoyed going to this class and it was fairly early. She will voice her opinion but is so helpful when speaking in front of a crowd. Take her if you have the chance you won't regret it.
Amazing professor. She really cares about her students and their progress. She is always willing to work with you. But you do have to attend class and participate to be able to achieve a good grade.
Professor Loicano has been one of my favorite professors so far in my college career. She is very specific about what she wants and really cares about what you get out of her class. She gives excellent advice for class related presentations and things that are important for succeeding in society. TAKE HER CLASS !
Had her for Self-Staging and had so much fun. She is by far the best, funniest, and most sarcastic professor I have ever had. You have 3 to 4 speeches to give and they aren't hard at all. I will honestly miss her.
She taught me how to write. Ive made As and Bs on every paper Ive written so far this semester
I had so much fun in this class. It is not your regular public speaking class, so be ready to do some impromptu speaking. She makes you become friends with everyone in the class so its not as scary! The professor is VERY opinionated and will tell you anything and everything about her life. I highly recommend taking this class!
On the first week of school she makes the class get to know each other; which is super beneficial because your peers will quickly become your friends. Class wise it's super easy. There are only 3 speeches and a final. If you show up and put forth effort you'll get an A.
Mrs. Loicano was clear of her grading criteria and if you really showed that you cared about the class she is going to help you get through it. She cared about her students and their grades. Also, her classes are really fun, the material talked about in class is entertaining.
Greatest class Ive taken since at UWG. Loicano makes it a priority for classmates to get to know one another and it makes the class so much fun. I would definitely take her again. Shes great truly
She is a great professor who has taught a lot. She makes her class very fun. It was a hectic semester given circumstances that occurred but she was very helpful and understanding in making sure her students still succeeded.
I took her Junemester class. You have to do 5 discussion posts, and you have to respond to 2 students each time. Those were easy, but the feedback was not helpful. There were 2 essays; midterm essay is revisable. She gives little feedback and grades tough. She does not respond to emails with questions about your essay. Our class average was low.
I took Professor Loicanos Junemester that covered the Southern Gothic Genre. We fit an entire semester into 3 weeks, so it was a lot of work, but I feel like I learned a lot. The main problem in the class wasnt the professor, but the students who thought they could respond to classmates with great ideas in your post. She was tough on those
She taught a full semester of work in three weeks and even provided Free electronic copies of the texts. She worked really hard for the students who put in effort, but it was an online class so that meant that half the class sucked. She was cool though
I enjoyed having her as a professor. Sometimes her feedback seems a bit rude but I dont think she intends for it to be that way. I really like that she gives feedback on every single assignment. Definitely will get more comfortable with public speaking in this class! I recommend her.
Prof. Loicano is really understanding when it comes to missing assignments. She gives good feedback on assignments too. There weren't many assignments to do but they were easy so I never really worried about my grade. I highly recommend her class. She is a great professor. If you're moderately decent at public speaking, she'll be good for you.
I took her through ecore and I have to say she is amazing. She was so nice and helpful. Very quick to respond to emails, gave good feedback, even let me resubmit after receiving the feedback. The criteria for the assignments was easy to understand and completely laid out. If you get the chance to take her, do it! You won't regret it!
Professor Loicano is one of the BEST professors I have had during my college experience. I am an adult learner and so it is sometimes hard to connect. But she is so caring, funny and gives such amazing feedback and encouragement. I wish she taught every class I have to take for the rest of my degree! I would take her again a million times over!
Loicano is the best. She made public speaking easier for me and helped me come out of my shell.
She is the best Professor at UWG. She gave me so much confidence in myself. Beware that she will call you on your bs if you make excuses for yourself, though.
She did not respect many of the students in my class. She's good if you show up and participate. There are 3 "speeches" that you are graded on. The first and third are really not that bad at all, but the second one is in assigned groups and has pretty specific guidelines. This is not a hard class to pass if you do your work.
She was great. There was the awful girl named Helen in the class who tried to make everything about herself and Loicano had to keep shutting her down. She def respected her students if they deserved it
Professor Loicano's class was hard, but not overly hard. I feel prepared to write college essays because of her class
I feel so prepared for 1102 because I had her for 1101. She really teaches you how to write and makes writing not as scary
Loicano is a really entertaining person and enjoyable to be around. We spent the semester focusing on the theme of coming of age, and she picked really cool and current texts. We even got to analyze a movie. She also is willing to meet with students and gives great feedback. I feel like I finally learned how to write in this class.
I took her this summer in an ecore 1102 class and she was helpful and not really a stickler about stuff like most ecore teachers, so it was easier to do well in her class
She was a good professor but when you send her an email, she really never responds back.
We got grades for our first essays back today and it is honestly so helpful. I made a D in 1101 in the fall and didn't understand what was going on. But I feel like I do understand this time because of her
.......................
She is the best. I wish I could take her for every class
Took her american lit class online through eCore. It was a short class so maybe that is why i did not have a great experience. she isn't the worst but not the best either.
I feel ready for 1102 because of her. I wish I could take her every semester
The reason I wouldn't take her course again is because she doesn't always know how to explain the directions of what she's expecting from you. She will show you a few different styles of writing, but go into depth more than one style over the other, which makes it hard to really grasp the concept of how to use both styles.
I feel like I really got something out of her class. We focused on feminism and how it impacts culture. I don't feel like I wasted my time with her
I took this class for both English 1101 and 1102. I enjoyed coming to class because she made learning fun and engaging. Make sure to do the reading/watch the pieces of media as there are tests on them. The writing that was required was extremely enjoyable. Furthermore, the final projects in both classes were very simple and fun to do.
Jade was an amazing teacher pretty straight forward. A textbook was not required, but we did have to purchase one book for the class(didn't cost much). I would definitely recommend taking her class, I had her for English 1101!
Professor Loicano is a helpful and approachable instructor. Her clear grading criteria and engaging class discussions make the course manageable. I found Unstuck study to be a useful supplement for study prep.
I LOVED her class! Best Professor as UWG!
Professor Loicano helped me at a time where it seemed like the world was caving in. She did not hold my hand or give me any shortcuts, what she did was far more meangful and imprortant, she gave me a chance to make things right. To me, that speaks volumes to who she is, and she has earned my undying respect for her. We need more professors like her
I took her class through eCore and it was easy. Discussion and quizzes every unit. One semester project. 3 papers total. My only complaint was that she graded kind of harsh and didn't leave much, if any, feedback. But overall, easy class, I still ended with an A.
She seriously is one of the best professors I've ever had. I have taken several of her classes now and I have made good grades in all of them. She is incredibly helpful and she will BUILD your character, she takes no bs and takes the time to have a genuine conversation with you. She IS a genuine person.
I took an online english course with this professor. She gave very minimal feedback, but did offer revisions for the 3 essays. She was generally bad about reaching out or providing announcements, even if something was posted incorrectly. I personally didn't care for the theme of the semester, as it was largely unexplained to the online students.
