She was to the point, very helpfull, and kept you as long as was needed. Didnt waste your time and gave you needed reading for the assignments.
GREAT TEACHER...RECOMMENDED TO EVERYONE
Seems to never want to give an A to a well deserved paper! I guess I will have to settle with a B! But all in all a JOY to be in class with and highly reccomended! :)
She is outstanding. very clear and staight to the point. I wish i had every class with her.She will require all essays quizes arent important easy A. AND SHE IS VERY HOT.
she is a great teacher, very clear and helpful, she will do what she can to help you to understand
She is an awesome teacher. Do your work and ask questions. Very helpful in any way she can. Do your work and you will do fine. Keep a record of everything she gives, notes, etc. Keep it organized, it is a grade at the end.
Great teacher! Very clear and helpful!
Very Clear Doesnt beat around the bush at all its great Take Her There are essays of course but you write what you want to Fabulous class I will take her for all my english classes
Boring boring boring! I was very excited to take her creative writing class, but I found myself falling asleep. Easy class, but not inspiring. It is a shame there is no other creative writing professors at FCCJ
Very nice, helpful, and easy going. She makes taking, an otherwise boring course, interesting!
BBOOOOOOORRRRRIIINNNNGGGGG! all you do all class long is analyze the themes and characters of the assigned poem or story, then write an essay on it, nice teacher but so boring....
She was great! I never dreaded going to class. She makes it easy.
good teacher, she made it easy and was laid back all the way. She lets you write what you want. huge advantage
She makes what would otherwise be a boring course, interesting. She is energetic, animated, interesting, and fun, and she loves to engage in conversation. She has a heart for her students to do well and loves being helpful; all you need to do is just ask. She's one of the best!
Prof. J. Kinder is def a teacher i would recommend to a friend. she was a very easy teacher and i received good grades from her as well.
I would recommend Mrs. Kinder to anyone! She is extremly helpful and will do whatever she can for you. She gives you 2 weeks to do a paper and is pretty true to the syllabus schedule so you know what to expect.
Great teacher very helpful, very nice, very low key. Did great in her class because she was so nice and helpful. I wish all English teachers were as nice as she was. I learned alot because she was so nice and I looked forward to going to her class. Take her she's great!
Prof. Kinder was so nice and extremely helpful. I would recommened anyone to take her class. She gives plenty of time for assignments and she is very personable. Thanks Prof. See you in the next class.
She is very encouraging and willing to help. EXCELLENT TEACHER. Very personable.
very greattttt teacher!
She made ENC 1101 & ENC 1102 alot of fun. It was a wise choice to take her again for ENC 1102.
Pretty light on grading. i would get her again. wish i took her for Eng I. shes kinda goofy, but she is really nice and enjoy'd her as a professor. gives you a sheet of what you will be turning in the whole semster. basically take her.
Prof. Kinder is very knowledgable. She is a great professor and wants all of her students to do well. Syllabus is straight forward. You always knew what you were suppose to be doing. Great professor take her if you can.
Prof. K. was a great teacher! She's very easy to get along with and understand. She welcomes any and all questions. Loved the class.
She was nice, sort of goofy, but overall a good teacher.
Good teacher and funny. Just don't miss a class or you have to take a final. Hard on papers sometimes. Unusual for her to give an A
She has a great personality. Her syallabus tells you everything you will be doing and she sticks to that schedule. If you come everyday, you don't have to take the final. I would recommend her!! Easy A!
I didnt like this teacher.Took her for ENC1101 and 02. But I am a little irratated at the slow return on papers,took 2 months to return papers from the beginning of term!Her grading is based on your ability not merrit. I know several students who could not organize a sentence and made an A while other with well planned papers made a C based on gram
Professor Kinder is a great teacher, she gives you a syllabus and sticks to it the entire course. If you do the work you get an easy A.
Great professor, requires cheap books that you actually use. Gives a very accurate syllabus and sticks to it, you always know exactly what needs to be done. My only complaint is with grading. It seems that your ability doesnt count for much most people seem to get As.
AMAZING TEACHER! Her syllabus is to a 'T'. You never have to guess what is due. Her tests are easy (as long as you read the essay), she lets you use notes on the tests. There are 6 essays, 6 tests, and lessons taught everyday. thats it. I would DEFFINATELY reccomend her and would take her again if I needed another english class.
Prof. Kinder was a great teacher. Very energetic and made sure you understood the things she was teaching. I took a 3 hour class and she made it very interesting so no one would fall asleep. Great teacher. You write lots of papers, but thats with any english class. I HIGHLY RECOMEND HER:)
She was fantastic! Funny, silly, brilliant, and communicated well with others. Great teacher, great person!!!!!!!!
Prof Kinder is a great teacher. She works with her students and keeps the class fun and interesting :) she is the best. Class is easy as long as you do your work :)
She is the best ENC teacher.
Professor Kinder is really great. She is super nice and witty. The only complaint I have is that it was too easy! You have the same order of events for every section of writing done so you always know what is going on with out the syllabus.
Best teacher ever
Kinder is very nice. I didnt like her teaching style tho. Rough drafts read by other students, not her. You dont know what u did wrong until the paper was given back(months later). Term is almost over but dont know my grade since she never posts them. Take her if you like to keep guessing about your grades and abilities.
I completely disagree with the comment below. I didn't really care for reading my rough drafts to the other students, but she always read my paper when I asked her and gave me some suggestions on what to correct. I never had to guess my grade in her class. She always gave us our papers after she graded them. It's not that hard to figure out an av
Very interest class. I found the class to be a bit "elementary level" overall. She spends a lot of time going over basic concepts like summarizing and writting a research paper. I expected something a bit more challenging, but great professor. She really does care about her students and wants to help them succeed.
Professor Kinder is a nice, but she takes forever to return your quizzes and essays. Attending her class is a must, maintain a A or B average and perfect attendance and you will be exempt from the final. Her grading can be strict, it depends on her mood and yes she will bore you, but she's a sweet little lady.
THOUGH MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY SHE WAS ELEMENTRY!... I SAY SHE DID A GREAT JOB. EVERYTHING SHE DISCUSSED IN CLASS WAS EVERYTHING I NEEDED FOR MY OTHER CLASSES. ALTHOUGH I GOT AN A...I WORKED MY BUTT OFF. SHE CARES AND UNDERSTANDS WHAT SHE IS DOING... AND THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT. PICK HER AND YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
I really enjoyed Prof. Kinder's class. She made a subject I absolutely hate into a somewhat entertaining study. I highly recommend
Good class, enjoyed reading selections, not a hard grader but hard to get an A on papers, good sense of humor.
this was my second class with Prof Kinder and I really enjoyed the semester. My only regret is that I don't have any more classes I could take with her. I highly recommend this professor
I don't know why everyone is writing good comments about her. She is all over the place and just really not organized!! It is hard to get an A, she doesn't help you in any way and overall, the classes were terrible. My least favorite class of the semester! Ugrh!
Very good professor and the book for the class is like 20 bucks. Will exempt you from the final exam if you make an A or B on the class, but you also need no absenses. Made an A in class, was an easy course,would definitely recommend her.
Very nice teacher! She is funny and makes the class worth attending. I would love to take another class of hers ! I didn't think it was hard to get an A if you completed your assignments on time!
She's wonderful! Funny, entertaining, and helpful. Extremely recommend her class. It's an easy A.
LOTS of projects and papers. Not exactly an "easy A" because it is like a regular english class. She is nice, but too lenient with the people who don't do their work.
A great professor overall. Takes time to return quizzes and papers. Her voice is a little annoying and rambles alot, but I am taking her again.
Kinder is a nice lady. Grades fair.good overall
Professor Kinder is great! I had her for ENC 1101 and ENC 1102. She's very kind and respectful. I think she's too lenient on her work and students who don't do their work take advantage of that, which isn't right. Overall, I would definitely recommend her to anyone. This class is an easy A. As far as textbooks, we used them occasionally.
She is very nice, unorganized, returns papers & quizzes extremely late. She isn't very clear on when assignments and papers are due and on where information is on blackboard, I found out that some due dates are on the syllabus. We hardly used our textbook. I would not recommend her if your and organized person, I wouldnt take her class again
This class was...okay. The syllabus lays out exactly what you need to do for the course, so don't lose it and do exactly what it says even if she doesn't announce that something is due in class. She is very helpful, but also very unorganized. She often cancels class or is late due to her young children. Do the work and you'll get a good grade.
Not bad, not good. Fairly boring class... She returns papers late most of the time. She lays due dates out on the syllabus, though.
Easy teacher! Not hard at all, have a week or so in b/w every essay. She returns papers really late, but overall an easy A. Final Exam is optional if you have perfect attendance and have a B or A at the end of the term.
She's Great. This class has opened my eye's to writing in a positive way. She's a hard grader but even the suck-yest writer can make it out of this class with a B. She''s super sweet and funny too. Just show up to class and do the paper and quizzes. That's it. It's not hard. That's only thing that's bad is she gives papers back super late.
I had her for ENC1101 and ENC1102. Recieved an A in both courses. There is a lot of writing in both classes, but she does follow the sylabus exactly. Overall she was a good professor to take for these courses.
She is great! Very helpful and understanding to your schedule. She explains everything clear and will help you on anything you need it on if you just ask. She's just really nice and I hated writing essays before this class and she made it bearable.
Professor Kinder is so great. She is very easy going and I love her class. She has kind of a corny sense of humor, but it cracks me up first thing in the morning. She keeps grades posted pretty regular and follows the syllabus. I would definitely recommend her.
She's awesome, kind of funny for a mom. But i am passing her class with an A. Just have to watch those coma splices!
Kinder has a nice personality. I enjoyed taking her class, but feel she should have been tougher on grading (mainly the essays). I don't feel I really learned anything from her course. She has a relaxed teaching style and is willing to help. To me, she seemed disorganized but not to a point where it will hinder your grade.
Ms.Kinder is a great English teacher. She can't stand comma splices and grammar errors drives her crazy but she is there to teach you to avoid those errors! She sticks to her syllabus and gives you a chance to make the best essay you can. No textbook really and if you don't miss a class you don't have a final! Just remember your due dates!
Very practical. Doesn't believe in spending 100's on a textbook. She is very friendly and really knows her stuff. Assignments are very reasonable and you have plenty of time to get them accomplished. It's not possibly to fall asleep with her teaching. Highly recommended!!!
A great professor. I had her for both ENC1101 and ENC1102. She really cares about her students success and will go out of her to help. The only negative thing I have to say about her is, she isn't the quickest about posting grades, but not a real big deal. I have and would recommend her to anyone taking Comp 1 or 2.
She is the best. Took someone who hates writing and through two semesters (ENC-1101 and ENC-1102) showed me writing could be fun. She lets you choose your own topics.
Wonderful Professor. I was a dual enrollment student, and she helped me a lot. Responds quickly to phone calls/ emails. I hate writing, but she made the class enjoyable. Highly recommend especially for first-time students.
PROFESSOR KINDER WAS SEEMINGLY THE PERFECT PROFESSOR WHEN I VIEWED HER RATINGS, BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT SHE IS EXTREMELY UNORGANIZED: SHE GAVE ME 3 0s FOR WORK I COMPLETE, I HAD TO SHOW HER MY EMAIL TO CONFIM TO HER THAT I TURNED IN MY WORK SO MY GRADE WENT FROM A F TO A B (THANK GOD I HAD PROOF) KEEP YOU WORK! SHE IS A STRICK GRADER. NO COMMA SLICE!
this is not an easy class, but professor kinder is super helpful. she is really nice and makes the class fun. Their is a lot of work and papers, but it isn't hard, and if you do the work you will get an A or at least a B.
SHE IS A HORRIBLE PROFESSOR. VERY UNORGANZIED. ALWAYS GAVE ME A DUMBFOUNDED LOOK. NEVER HAD GRADING UP TO DATE . DO NOT TAKE HER !!
Mrs. Kinder was a very kind-hearted teacher, although if you do not do the work or show up for class, you hope for a good grade is out the window. On the other hand, she work very well with communicating with her students, even if the grades are not always up to date, and she is always willing to give her students a helping hand.
teacher was ok, a little funny, but instruction on assignments was very unclear. i remember texting other students and no one knew how to do the assignment. she grades paper very hard and does not like jokes.
Great interaction between the teacher and the students. She is kind, and shows respect to students and she asks for that in return. I do not like to write but if she taught another English class I would take it because she is great with words and ideas and she is helpful as well.
She was not very helpful to me when I got sick and had to miss a lot of class, and said that it was my responsibility to come to class and learn (Even though I had the Flu!) I did not enjoy class, it was a snooze fest and she made us read all the old novels from the 1800's. I wont take her class again.
Amazing professor if you ever needs help she will help you. She emails quickly and you will also be reading a book and you will do homework on the book you read. I highly recommend this class easy A as long as you do the work and ask for help if you don't understand.
Very easy as long as you do the work. If you have perfect attendance, she lets you skip the final.
She is an amazing professor if you do your work. She is a bit confusing at times but she is always happy to answer any questions you may have.
Professor Kinder is a great Professor! Her class was fun, she's entertaining and very involved in the lectures. She is a tough but fair grader, and she's very good with communicating to her students. Never waited for a response to an email for longer than 1 hour. She cares about her students and wants them to learn and do well.
She gives good feedback. There are 3 or 4 essays, one is in class. Those can be hard/time consuming. She can either explain things well or not so well. Pros. Kinder is nice but can get very behind so then you are rushed. She does work with students and responds to emails within the next day. Nice lady and fair grader.
Professor Kinder is an amazing professor. She does everything she can to help her students understand the topic. I took her for both of my English classes. The first class she was on point with her schedule, the second one she seemed overwhelmed. Still a very caring professor and that is hard to find!! I would overall take her again.
Great instructor. Not strict or boring, tries to connect with the class. States what she wants and there's only 5 papers. One of them is in class. Reading quizzes aren't bad. Overall a easy class that is if you work for it. She does college engagement, which I didn't really like. Exemption from final if you're doing good and aren't late to class.
Great professor. Not strict at all and is always willing to help. She is very personable with her students and it seems as though she actually cares about us. As long as you do your work there is no reason you should not pass her class.
This professor is very clear about the way assignments will be graded and is very helpful if there is any trouble. She gives great feedback on rough drafts to help get a good essay grade. The class is very easy as long as you do your work and keep up with attendance. Professor Kinder is very funny and by far one of the best teachers.
Not the hardest teacher, but wouldn't recommend. Gave lots of papers and never graded them in a timely manner. Expect a lot of confusing, especially after she answers a question of yours.
The overall class was pretty decent. There is alot of essays to write and shes a very tough grader. Alot of her grading is based on grammar, clearness, and useful information. There aren't many test or quizzes. I only remember taking one.
Kinder is amazing. She's funny and kind and helps all she can. A+ professor.
Kinder is a pretty cool teacher and is very personable. You don't need to get the textbook because she provides the material for you. She is a very tough grader on the 3-4 papers you have to write so make sure it is to spec from the rubric.
Professor Kinder is a great teacher! I've had her for my 1101, 1102 and LIT 2000 classes, and I'm sad I can no longer take her. Shes a tough grader, but as long as you actually do the work you'll be ok. Shes kind and understanding, and I would recommend all of her classes to anyone.
Professor Kinder is amazing! I've had her for both ENC1102 and LIT200. LIT2000 was Harry Potter focused, which already was great. She's passionate about her teaching, and easily relates to her students. I'd definitely recommend taking her for any literature course.
Awesome Professor. Very nice, funny, & caring. Complete all of your assignments & show up to class. They consist mostly of essays, but they are simple if you follow the instructions. Professor Kinder is a great English Professor. I enjoyed every moment in her class.
Really sweet. 5 papers with a lot of time to get them done. Small quizzes online with connect for grammar. Not many in-class quizzes. No tests. Good class, not super stressful
I liked Professor Kinder , but her grading took forever. There were papers I had turned in, and it took weeks for her to grade them .She also expects her students to understand without actually explaining anything. I will say she was quick to respond to any email I sent her .
Tough. Take it online with someone else
Prof. Kinder is a great instructor. Very understanding. If you're having an issue TALK TO HER!!! She's very clear on her expectations and the syllabus provided is accurate (to the class day) throughout the term. Would/will absolutely take a course with her in the future. Turn in your work, don't miss class, don't take the final...
Shes really good at answering any questions you have and makes it clear what shes looking for. Makes you feel comfortable and will tell you if something needs correcting if you ask her about your paper before the due date.
Cool teacher, very responsive. Not too much work, one quiz, a few essays, she grades kind of tough, I never got higher than a B on any paper. She does offer extra credit. Watch some videos, participate in some groups, nothing major.
She was an amazing professor!! She did give a lot of essays, about 5. 2 of them were in class essays, however she was kind and gave a thorough lecture with plenty examples. She is a tough grader, points are taken off if the essays not proof read. However we never had any word requirements for the essays, as long s it had good context.
Professor Kinder is very kind. She relates what we're learning to real life. You can get extra credit by reading the final paper to the class. Only 3-4 papers total, no discussions, but some work that required an access code. Really nice lady and class overall.
Jana was a great professor and was willing to help when ever she could . Loved her and would recommend her class to anybody
Professor Kinder is amazing! I loved taking her class online, had her for 1101 and 1102, she was very understanding about every type of situation, her work is fairly easy and she will always give really good feedback, her lectures are awesome and helped me out a lot!
One of the best classes ive taken and Prof. Kinder is amazing and easy to talk to !
Professor Kinder is a great teacher, her directions are always clear, and she gives great feed back on papers.
She would make instructions REALLY clear before each assignment. There were 4 papers over the semester, 2 were short (1-2 pages) and 2 were longer (3-4 pages). She gave ample time for each assignment, and while we were doing our longer research paper, she even gave us 2 weeks off from coming to class to "focus" on it. I'd highly recommend her.
If your a student athlete do not take her. she dosent understand you are going to have to miss some of her classes due to games and she will hold it against you.
Mrs. Kinder is super clear and easy to understand. There are quite a few papers but she gives great examples to help create your topics and dont be afraid to reach out if you arent sure about something. Shes super nice
This professor is one of the best. She is very helpful, funny and easy going. All you have to do is show up to class and take notes. There are lots of papers to write but you have time to do it, especially if you show up.
All of her assignments were incredibly clear in what she wanted. She kept track of grades and the feedback was good. There is a lot of work,but she's flexible. She gave you time in class to work on your essays. She handed out packets for each section, which I liked. There was a lot of student choice when it comes to essays.
She is really nice and understanding. Gives extra credit.
She is kind and understanding and gave us over 3 extra credit opportunities. The semester started off with a book assignment which I enjoyed and we wrote 3 papers. Overall not a difficult class and she gave us plenty of time between assignments. She explains things well and answers messages quickly.
I would 100% recommend taking her for English class. She doesn't give out quizzes nor tests. Expect to do some essays throughout the semester but she gives plenty of time for you to finish them and she offers to give feedback also. Extra credit at the end of the year and she is very understanding
Professor Kinder is a very good professor. She does expect you to show up for every class. She gives PLENTY of time for papers to be done. She explains things thoroughly. She provides handouts for the class. She grades harshly, but it's not too harsh. She also accepts late work- until 6am the next day. HIGHLY recommended!!!
Great professor !! Always so helpful and genuinely cares about students. Clear assignments, you'll write a few essays but the topics are interesting and fun.
Ms Kinder was an amazing teacher, who helped me grow as a writer sooooo much. She has three essays in this class. A Synthesis paper, research paper and a critique. Along with the reading at the beginning Rita Hayworth
Professor Kinder is a great instructor who really helps students grow as writers. While the workload is manageable, she provides ample time for assignments and is understanding. I found unstuckstudy super helpful for essay prep.
Honestly an amazing professor who doesn't bog you down with unnecessary stuff. She teaches you how to write good essays and that's pretty much it. Good grades, good feedback, wonderful person to talk to outside of class and genuinely cares about her students.
One of the best things about this course was how connected Professor Kinder was to each students chosen essay topics, which are the bulk of the class grades. She gave great feedback and encouraged our creativity. Offered extra credit, and graded assignments quickly! Connects her students to tutors as well for feedback on essays. I'll miss her class
