Great with students and is always willing to give suggestions for improvements.
A really good teacher
she's smart, teaches damn well, is very lenient on handing work in on time and writing tests and she knows how to tell jokes!
Super nice, very helpful, classes are enjoyable even though it's only english!
She rocks.....
Excellent teacher. Always in a good mood, she's more than willing to help, and she picks interesting and funny topics.
Easily the best english teacher I've ever had!
very helpful, and always help students
Best teacher I have had at Seneca college!! Anyone in her class is lucky! She is awesome!!
What an incredable lady Ms. Zeppa is !!! She is a kind , understanding and brilliant english teacher! Not only a great teacher but a great women full of excitement and charisma. Don't think her class is a cake walk, she is a hard marker but you will be pleased with your work!
Very nice teacher.She is always willing to help.
He is the best teacher i ever had plus he gives you bonus marks. In my class most students got B TO A+ so take her
She is funny as hell.I'd come to class just to hear jokes.lol
She is the best professor on the face of the earth. Very sophisticated yet modest, not an easy marker, but teaches very well, very resourceful. Her classes are always fun, and the time flyes. You should do your work though, but you'll feel very rewarded by her.
Very very nice teacher! She's very helpful, explains very well, give a million examples. She's very easy going, relaxed and funny. Gives so much help with essays. Looks like she enjoys teaching! She really wants everyone to become a better writer, and helps so much! I really enjoied her class, I wish I had more classes with her! Exellent job Jamie!
Great teacher- make her class very wonderful with her wonderful sound, wonderful explaining, and wonderful thought. I really enjoy her class. She is fair, nice, and helpful.
Great teacher!! I learnt a lot from her class and I will choose her again if she will be teaching any courses I will be taking.
Prof Zeppa is one of the best teachers in Seneca. She definitely made my EAC150 class enjoyable. I would say it shouldn't be a problem to get a A in her class as long as you do all your assignments on time . Overall she made english much less boring and more bearable.
She is a joy to have as a prof, very funny and intelligent, good marker and very helpful.
Best teacher ever!
she's a really gud teacher and would always help...but the problem is the subject EAC150 is hard and above that she's a hard marker......
she might be a good teacher for native english speakers but for people whose enlgish is second language..then she is not so good...you will be end up with getting just passing marks.. no matter how hard you work....
She is a good teacher,but a hard marker! And if english is your second language, do not take her class.
she is an excellent teacher; exhibits subject matter in a clear and comprehensable fashion; knowledgeable and helpful! if you appreciate lecture style of teaching, hers is of good quality. she likes to get feedbacks from students rather than to communicate telepathically. she's not a hard marker...just gives what you deserve.
she's an excellent teacher with a great personality; shows clarity and knowledge when teaching. if you like lecture style of teaching, hers is of high quality. she likes to get loud feedbacks from her students rather than get telepathic communication...she's not a hard marker...just gives what you deserve.
She's brilliant! make English funny and interesting. You can really learn stuffs from her class. But, not an easy marker. You need to work hard to get A.
FUN FUN FUN-----but she is a very hard marker.....DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOUR ENGLISH IS NOT YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE!!!! HARD MARKER.......Trust me, even if you work very very very hard, you will get only a C
SHE IS THE HOT HOT, GOOD LOOKING PROFESSOR. FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN, BUT A LITTLE BIT HARD IN HER MARKING. IF YOU ARE WILLING TO STUDY HARD, TAKE THIS COURSE BECAUSE YOU WILL ENJOY IT.
Funniest class I ever had! She is the funniest professor you can have in Seneca. She's fair, to everyone, no matter English speaker or not. As long as you get your work done, and take the notes, A is not a problem. She is very helpful and nice if you ask questions.
Hard marker
she is wonderful. Her class discussion is very clear. but to do good in exam you have to be in the class. eventhough i believe she is a very hard marker. but she is totally awsome.
Zeppa is awsome. she swears and she's funny. she makes the class interesting. She is fair with her grades and she actaully makes you want to go to class.
very nice teacher! made my 8AM classes fun. she's not easy but she helps if u need help. not an easy marker.
great teacher.
One of the best english teachers I have ever had.
She was a wonderful teacher. She explained everything so clearly and made her class so interesting and funny. She is a great person. Take her class, she teaches everything and in a very easy flow.
GREAT PROFESSOR!
ok first of all she is not hot lol. She is a good teacher if you are a good writer then all you need to do is write... but if you need help and instruction she is S***. All the feed back that you will get if you ask her to look over your work is good or bad with no further explination.
Although she has rather a good personality, at the end most of the student end up getting C in her class, which is horrible. You can take her class if you can't find someone better than her.
If you have an option of taking a gen ed ith another teacher, DO IT!! she is a hard marker, hates ppl that miss lectures even for good reasons although comes of as a verry nice lady, has favourites... most ppl pass with a C even if you try realy hard
Out of all the PROFS at SENECA she is probably the one of the few that will stick out to me. She talks to students like she is their friend. She explains everything really clearly. SHE IS SO FUNNY! Like I never once felt like I was in class thats how entertaining her classes are (and for someone who hates school as much as me) HER CLASSES WERE SICK
Humour Class - a 1 of a kind prof who speaks to students at the student level. Carries the class perfectly with great integration of jokes, slides and an abundant of films. Do the work, go to class, and participate in discussions and she will mark you accordingly. GREAT PROF. A+++++
Excellent teacher, extremley engaged into her lectures. Very clear on what she expects and it will show in your marks. Shes a little picky with grammar, but other than that shes a GREAT prof!
Very Nice and very helpful. She explains class content clearly and states what she want you to write on your assignments. Just follow her instructions to get your B+ or higher.
No walk in the park! She rarely gives students anything higher than an 80% on essays. She's very insightful, humorous, and relatable to the student; she cares about the success of students and is willing to go the extra mile for them (but only if you are willing to go the extra mile yourself).
Amazing teacher, Amazing Class! This class is extremely fun and Jamie is very respectful and engaging. I would highly recommend this class as a gen ed and Jamie as a teacher. Attendance is extremely important since material is only covered in class and you'll need to take notes for tests and exams. No text book only online and handout.
She is AWSOME. She is better explainer than the author of the textbook we use. You dont have to buy the textbook, cuz if you go to every class and take notes, you will be on a good track throughout the course. Shes the BEST
She is a author by profession and a teacher. Very vivid and helpful. attain her lectures and guarantees you will do good.
Her class always interesting. Highly recommended!
Best englihs class!
The Best teacher for the SES218 Humor course. Loved attending her lectures, she is very insightful, friendly and laid back. She has a sense of humor & encourages open class discussions. She doesn't force people to speak. This course is EASY if your are a NATIVE English speaker. Lots of TV & pop culture references. NOT for International Students!!
Awesome Teacher! Loved every minute of her class. I highly recommend this class. It is a literature credit so there is a bit of reading/writing involved but not an excessive amount. Jamie is very friendly, funny and always engaging. She is very laid back and accommodating. I feel like I gained a lot from having her for a teacher. Attendance a must
Nice and cooperative professor if you work properly on the assigned tests and assignments.
I took this class because I really wanted to have Jamie as a teacher. Again. I knew nothing about mythology when I started the class but now I find it very interesting. Attendance and good note taking a MUST. Great class and one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend taking this class
Jamie has a great sense of humor. She is very helpful with assignments.
Unbelievable teacher which made learning enjoyable. I would recommend this course to everyone.
best teacher to take for EAC150
Hard marker! !if u are international student,do not take her!she really care about Grammar than you idea!!!
Very bad teacher. she just care about your grammer! Dont pick her if u r suck in grammer!
Professor Zeppa is a great teacher. She explains the lessons very well. I am currently atending her SES285 class: Transformation of Myths Through time. She is very helpful and always encourages class discussion. Attend her classes because that is where you get most of the materials for the tests and the exams.
Jamie is a very helpful, kind and funny professor in her class. She is one of the best professors I have ever had. I learnt a lot about North American comedy, including humor techniques. She has a lot of enthusiasm and patience to us. When we have questions about class's lecture, she always explains to us in an easy way. SES 218 is a good choice!!
Very nice professor. She has patience to teach me, even my first language is not English.
Best theacher in Seneca! I am so encouraged and motivated to study!!
If you want a good grade then not choose her.If you want learn things, then choose her.
She is helpful and nice, but if you want a good mark, she is not your best choice. Guys,think about it before taking her class!
One of the best teachers at Seneca. I would honestly take any course she teaches.
very hard teacher and hard marker, dont expect to get more than 70% on your tests even if u're genius. and for the course SES285 stay away from it, i never thought it would be that hard. it could be way easier if ur taking it with a different teacher. it's week six already and i still dont know what the hell is going on in the class!!!
Loved her classes! Very interesting and fun. At the same time her classes are very helpful as they helped me to improve my English skills so much better. Also, I finally learned how to write essays properly. I would take her again:)
I dropped this class after before midterm. She is a great teacher and brings student interests to class, and I enjoyed attending a class. However, she has certain standard of her class, it is very hard to get a okay mark( I just wanted B..) if you are not good at grammer. Three of my internation students worked hard, but all friends got C and C+.
I can't say enough good things about Jamie. She literally is one of the best professors in this program!! She brings the material to life, she's helpful, provides fantastic feedback and is easily accessible. Honestly, you'd have to be actively slacking to fail her class. I'd recommend her for anyone and after I graduate I'm coming back to visit!!
Jamie is the best english teacher I have had. My essay writing has improved SO much because of her. She is funny and always there for her students. Love her!
Jamie is one of the most amazing professors in Seneca who genuinely cares about the success of her students. Her lectures are very clear and in class discussions are always interesting. She constantly provides you feedback on your work and makes you aim for that A+++++
If u r thinking that founding godness in flower is okay and normal - take this class. She is hard marker and lectures suck. Her classes are too boring! Be aware of any her courses!
If you can have Jamie Zeppa as your professor, your really really lucky. Because it was summer semester, I only had her for half of the sem, and I am really sad that I only got to listen to her lectures for just half of the sem. She is clear, helpful and caring. She is very good professor, I think the best in Seneca College.
Jamie is such an influential professor. She turned me into the best writer, I am so proud I have gotten a chance to come into contact with such an amazing person.
Ms. Zeppa was my ENG150 prof. 6 years ago. She utilized a lot of pop culture to help students better relate to the lectures but takes grading seriously. - Expect a healthy portion of engaging class discussions/debates. - Although lenient with due dates, expect to be appropriately penalized. - Helpful inside and outside of class.
I have had Jamie for EAC-100 and always thought she was amazing! She is a great professor and really knows what she is doing! I would most defiantly take her class again.
Jamie is so warm and funny, she's approachable and her lectures are more like discussions because she encourages everyone to talk about the books we've read. Lectures are very helpful, attend them as much as you can because she explains concepts well. Overall a great prof and better person
Jamie Zepps is an amazing professor, this is my second time taking here at Seneca Newnham and I must admit she really cares about her students. She actually helps you understand whats going on with anything, she is so quick to respond to emails as well. Most defiantly take her again, i recommend her to all!
One of the best post-secondary profs I've ever experienced! Almost all of my favourite university/college profs have been I think it's a requirement that English profs be down to Earth. 3
Best prof E V E R! Her classes are never boring and she gives amazing feedback that will definitely improve your skills. (Also, her outfits are always on point). Approachable and genuinely cares about her student.
You already know how it is, my home girl Jamie kills it in the lectures. Her classes are packed with lit materials, each activity we do is straight fire. Jamie slays any other prof you ever had, 100% trust.
She makes you work for your mark, but just to make sure you're a better student. She's such an amazing teacher and she genuinely cares about you and your mark. She was a perfect professor for my first year of post secondary.
Jamie is beyond fantastic as a teacher. She went far beyond what was necessary to make me a better writer, and we learned a lot from each other. She teaches literature because she has a genuine passion for it, and that's not something you can say for every teacher in the program. She is accessible and respected by everyone I know. Take her courses!
She is one of the best professors I had in Seneca. She is awesome and her lectures are funny.
Arguably the best prof I've ever had. EVER.
Best professor I've ever had! Learned a lot from her lectures. Her lectures are inspirational, and she's so passionate about literature! Also, your writing will improve a lot, because she gives such a good feedback. You'll became confident in writing. I can't imagine liberal arts in Seneca without her. No matter what, take her class! I recommend.
Jamie is a fantastic professor who really helped shape me as a writer. She gives great feedback, provides you with the information and skills needed to be successful in her course and others, and she is a hard marker. Listen to her, follow her guidance and you will not be sorry.
Jamie Zeppa was my favorite teacher so far. Jamie is a suburb teacher who gives spectacular feedback and really cares that you succeed. Know this, she is a hard marker and makes you work for the grade, but apply her feedback, and you'll improve. If you get her as your professor, you're lucky, and she's funny, you will love her class.
Very, good at teaching. Gives lots of feedback. However, her marking is completely unacceptable. As a teaching feedback is important, however, no matter how much I tired I still ended up with terrible grades. If she is going to mark that hard then she needs to give a full systemic and orderly outline of how to succeed successfully in her class.
Zeppa is a fabulous professor who is down to earth and keep you listening to her lecture. You can converse with her so long as you are into politics. She tells you exactly what to do so you should not fail, however, if you so fail its because you either don't care to pass, or you did not show up to class so you were lost.
Jamie Zeppa is the GOAT. No debate. Any class that she teaches automatically becomes a must-take because she teaches it. Jamie is the best prof I've had at Seneca Newnham by a country mile. I could write a lot more about how amazing Jamie is, but just take her class and find out for yourself. She's amazing, caring, hilarious, and cares for you.
Best Professor for EAC150. Always giving good feedback and helping a lot in class. Just attend to the classes and you will pass.
i cant begin to describe how Jamie has changed my life when it comes to reading and writing, truly truly gifted and is one of the best professor around. Jamie is respected, and she actually cares about her students.
I have had Jamie for EAC150 and YKL200 and she is an amazing professor. She deconstructs the reading very well and her lectures are entertaining and inspirational. She is very caring towards her students and wants to help the succeed. Just show up to lectures, study for quizzes, and do the assignments properly and you will get a 70% or higher.
Jamie is of the best teachers Ive had in my life. She really cares about her students and she is very approachable after class. However, she is a very hard maker and gives a lot of assignments. You have to put in a lot of work to get a good grade with her.
Amazing professor overall. Gives amazing feedback and is there to help when you need it. Class attendance is super important. Would definitely love to have Jamie again as my professor.
Just wanted to reaffirm that Jamie is the GOAT. No contest.
She is Amazing!! She always gives good feedback and helps a lot not only during class time but anytime you ask for. She is very caring. Perfect in teaching, taking attention during lectures. Also, she is fun which makes the class even more interesting. Born to be a teacher I guess but the best...
she is a great teacher
Jamie's classes were totally interesting. She is well-informed in English and has the ability to make great writers of her students. She is thorough, gets straight to the point and is clear on what she is looking for in all of the content work. Prepare to advance your English reading and writing skills with Jamie.
What did I do to deserve meeting this lady. I love her, her mind is an epitome of class. I wish she has more courses but she doesn't. Thank you Jamie you are wonderful!
Shes super nice but really picky marker.
Jaime is awesome. She is tough marker only because she wants you to improve your writing skills. She's very engaging, thorough and clearly enjoys what she does. She's sympathetic and will always help you when in need.
Jamie is a great professor. Her assignments are interesting and make you think. Her feedback is really helpful. She is also really forgiving, and will let you hand assignments in on a different date if you discuss it with her beforehand.
What I like the most about this professor that she is understanding person and very respectful.
Professor Jamie is really helpful and amazing!! I really enjoyed her class and her lectures are really good! Though she is a tough marker but as long as you follow her classes and guidelines you can get good grades!! Her feedbacks are really important and it has also helped me improve my English and writing skills alot! Highly recommended !!
Jamie was probably one of my favourite professors at Seneca. She was so kind, understanding and hilarious. Such a sweet woman.
In essence, Jamie Zeppa is a great professor. Everyone has a clear understanding of the course material through her lectures. Also, she always provides helpful feedback to marked work. I really enjoyed her class because I love her humour and the assignments she gives the class.
Hands down, best English teacher , if not one of the best teachers, I have ever had. She really cares about her students doing well and her classes are so helpful.
She was great and very helpful, always open to answering questions and give feedback.
Great
Remarkable professor. Someone who I will remember forever as I remain a student for life. Great voice, enthusiasm, manner. I would recommend Professor Zeppa to the world to take her class. Even if you are not interested in literature, perhaps it may spark an interest for you just because of the way she teaches it. An exquisite author too.
She is very kind in appearance, She gives very bad grades she loves assignments and gets a very high number of assignments.
She is very kind in appearance, She gives very bad grades she loves assignments and gets a very high number of assignments
She gives terrible grades. If she is going to mark that hard then she needs to give a full systemic and orderly outline of how to succeed successfully in her class.
This is the worst professor i encountered in LAT, Toughest grader ever, she's a hater, a fraud, boring, will ensure your gpa drops. What she needs to understand is that her class is useless. so she should stop sabotaging her students grades by not assigning the proper grade that their effort deserves. Marks are subjective based off how she feels.
Amazing professor, I once gave a bad review, caller he a hater, because i was upset with the grade i received, I would delete that comment but i can't, She an amazing professor, students shouldn't let their emotions get the best of them and give bad reviews, Good mannerism is the key to success! Personal Development !!!! Shout out Jamie Zeppa.
very nice professor, loves doing lectures and makes them fun. a lot of writing work but its not very hard to do. she does a lot of weekly readings that can be boring but the class discussion is a nice touch. She can be a bit of a tough marker but using her feedback helps a lot.
Jamie was an absolute gem as a professor. Her lectures relied on presentations with concise information while she verbally elaborated on them, often adding examples or explanations that were hilarious or easy to understand. Although she can be a hard marker, she is incredibly laid back and is easy to approach. Me and some friends still talk to her.
I currently have her as my prof and her lectures are amazing, I honestly enjoy her classes. She's also flexible with her due dates. She gives weekly readings though, but hey it's college! I will take her again if I can lol.
I love her sm. She's an amazing professor and person- she gave creative and academic options for assignments & I genuinely had so much fun doing them. Her class made me fall in love with the subject. I'll never forget her
She is just the best. Such a dedicated and respectable teacher. Truly cares about her students. Just do the readings and you will be fine. I had one of my major assignments delayed by a month - extension on extension, due to mental health issues, she was very understanding and I got an 80% on that.
Seneca struck gold when they hired Jamie Zeppa. She is compassionate, understanding, intensely passionate about her work, and a pleasure to learn from. This is a professor who loves what she does and wants to see her students succeed. Do yourself a favour and take this woman's class. She loves world lit and she'll make you love it too.
Professor Zeppa made this class fun. There is a decent amount of reading to do- mostly articles. Professor Zeppa makes the guidelines clear and provides examples. She's funny and tries to engage the class. Attendance is not mandatory but it is best if you attend class. Professor Zeppa gives many quizzes based off of the weekly articles.
She's amazing!! I agree with what others said, she really is passionate about teaching and gives good feedback. Just an amazing professor and human being, so nice & understanding. I will never forget her, probably the best English teacher I've had. Do your readings, communicate if extension is needed, do your best and you will succeed in her class.
i mean i dont much is needed to say; the reviews speak for themselves. she is clearly experienced in teaching and knows all the right approaches. very caring and optimistic. makes all her students feel valued and important. I highly recommend her; the reviews are true to their showing!
Very cool teacher, gives extra time if you need it. marks are fair
She is amazing, the rates are absolutely fare. She was kind and understanding.I don't think that she is a tough grader, but be read to read alot of articles. There are alot of quizes but if you listen to the lecture they are really easy. I 100% recommend this prof.
She is a very good teacher and she also makes topics easy to understand.
