Really fun to hang with,and a nice person who makes time for her students!

cool class! shes extremely EASY GOING!

Very straight-forward, would take anouther class from her

Not at all intimidating, and a very easy marker

lets you rewrite essays

Very nice lady. Willing to accomdate the needs of the students. Loved the class

Awesome prof! Really down to earth and clear about everything.

has approximate due dates-yay! long slow lectures, but fairly easy

good prof but takes about 2 weeks to hand back essays!

Very nice lady. Helpful, and considers the student, will take another class.

kinda quircky. interesting lectures.

rewrite every essay!

Quite boring, but really nice and good marker, lenient with due dates, good overall

Awesome professor!! She actually wants to see her students succeed. I would HIGHLY recommend her!!!

Really good teacher!!! Very helpful and a very nice lady. I highly recommend her to everyone!

Awesome prof...I definitely recommend her to everyone..she is nice, marks pretty easy....is very helpful, looks at essays b4 you have to hand them in.

Very interesting material, very knowledgeable, very understanding, very helpful! Great Lady! Definately recommend taking Eng 110 with her!

Class material was a bit sketchy, but I guess she was okay. She definately marked easy.

Excellent! She is very helpful..willing to read your essays and give pointers before u hand them in! She marks quite easy too.

She's really good,everthing's easy in her class,nice prof.Highly recommanded

She was easy to understand and lets you know what she wants on essay's and assignments. The only hard part was the grammar test.

Her class is really enjoyable. You always know what she expects of you and she is very open and respectful of her student's opinions. She's very approachable and understanding, when it comes to problems with assignments or with attending class.

good prof! she lets you revise your essays for a better mark, which helps alot! i dont like the course material though...but i recommend her

She is a great english prof. I am horrible at essays, but in her class the lowest mark ive gotten on one is a 75. She lets you know what she expects and helps you with things u need to work on, very approachable. Highly reccomend her.

Good prof. She only got her master degree though by the time she taught me. Duno about now. Grammar test is easy. Duno why some people found it hard. Don't u speak English?

Well, if you are looking for a slack English class, Hillabold is the one to take it from. We do have to read 4 books... and write an essay on each book, but she does not care about due dates, and you can make changes to and re-submit your essays if you are not happy with the class. take it from her!

Nice. flexible, depressing pieces of literature, really boring mind-numbing class. Grammar- well, forget it- impossible to comprehend her. Flexible about papers, due dates and a very nice person.

Very approachable. Although areas of improvement are sometimes sketchy (in regards to essays) the initial markings and comments usually make sense. Again, the best part is that she's very approachable...

ok, listen...gender-based marking DOES happen and it's horrible...but in a feminist-lit class, i would guess that, as men, we might have to work harder...afterall, we are a big part of the perpetuation of inequality against women...i think jean is a great prof for any PERSON that really wants to grasp the intent behind the literature...

Available outside of class for help. Material to read wasn't very interesting. This class exposed how bad my writing is and it needs a lot of improvement. Now I know!

Marks quite hard on essays, but its no different than any first year english classes. The material that she teaches in class is easy. Attending this class isnt overly necessary. She loved to read random announcements at the start of every class which sometimes resulted in no lecture whatsoever. Overall I would recommend her for first year.

Very boring, not to bad marker thoguh

For a English 100 class, i would recommend her, you dont really even need to go to class because it does you no good really. I went to class half the time and still managed a respectable mark. Her marking is very inconsistant but is approachable

Google her and look at her articles on the U of R website. Also check out her internet stories.Unique topics I suppose. This was an alright class, English can never be that exciting anyway.

Pretty good class overall, she's very quiet though, so I advise not sitting at the back of the class.

She was really good, one of the first english teachers I've ever liked.

All semester she let me write any/all of my tests late without loosing marks. She also let me hand in my essay late without loosing marks too!! First english teacher I have ever had that wasn't a hoe bag..SHES AWESOME!!

slllllllllack!!! take this class!!!

She is a really nice lady. Pretty easy class, but the material is really not that interesting. All she does is talk the whole time, pretty boring but pretty slack.

She really gives you a chance to get a good mark, very helpful.

This is a fairly easy class, considering that in most other 110 classes you would have to write three times the essays. I didn't read the books and still got an average of 75% on the essays. She can be interesting...but usually I had a hard time staying awake. Most of the lit is based on feminism, lesbianism and so on. Overall good PROF!

She is a good prof who is easy to understand but the subject matter is quite boring. Some days we would just sit and read. She also likes to write on the board what most profs would just say out loud. Good teacher, decent marker, boring class.

slaaaack, but boring. she marks fairly easy and is very understanding about making up assignments you missed. after she corrects your essay and hands it back, you get to fix your mistakes and hand it in again for a better mark. you can also hand in essays late with no penalty. no need to go to class often. definitely take her class!

The class seemed really easy, but my mark dropped considerably after the final. She forgot to tell the class that we could use our books for the final until she handed it out to us. Overall she marks pretty easy, but repeats herself in class. Take it from her if you want an easy mark but don't want to learn anything.

once you had in your essay, she marks it and hands it back and then you can re hand it in.. so on my essays i got 75 - 85.. so fairly easy.. but then you get to the final and you think you did really well and your mark drops like 7 percent?

The material was really dry and feminist. We read books about coming-of-age and lesbians... So not that fun. She was very helpful, essays could be late with no penalty and she would correct them ahead of time then let you re-submit them. But she was super-boring! Grading was easy. Take this class if you want an easy grade and no mental stimulation.

The nicest lady! Goes out of her way to help you succeed. The literature she picked was interesting (Frankenstein, Interview With The Vampire), with underlying feminist tones. Downside: Though what she says can be interesting, she is incapable of capturing interest! You don't have to attend regularly to get a good mark. Only 5 very short essays.

Awesome prof! She allows you to re-hand in your essays after you correct the mistakes she's noted for you, I got an average of around 75 on all my essays which is good (for me). all her quizzes are super easy, and you can easily get 100% on them if attend class and read the assigned stories and poems! grammer quiz is very hard though.

LOVE Hillabold. Rewrite essays, hand anything in late, she really helps you get a good mark. Grammar quiz is impossible, but it won't bring your mark down too much. Take her!

Jean is such a professional of her trade. She breaks down concepts in sentence structure and reading comprehension. Pace is class is a little trying but her opinions give perspective in the English arts. Opportunity to rewrite, assignments are fair to expectations. Jean is a good one to retake if you really want to perfect your writing fluidity.

Very great class, very easy but she, unlike other english teachers, isn't there to give you a bad mark. the 4 books we read were very good reads and here essays were max 500 words. The classes wern't stimulating since she just went over the books. tests were easy, and she is extremely flexible about due dates. highly recommend

Best english teacher ever? She doesn't expect you to be an English major, but she does expect you write better by the end of the class. She lets you redo every essay once. Always available after class in her office. Her classes usually fill up quick, so get her while its not full.

This class was quite boring. Attendance was in no way mandatory which was awesome. Her classes consisted of reviewing the book we had to read in extreme detail. If you did not read the book you could show up to class and get all of the information. On the flip side if you read the books it wasn't necessary to show up.

Being a "mature student", I found this class to be an excellent help in improving my writing skills. I found the classes to be interesting, not dull, and a challenge for one who has been out of University/school for a number of years.

I understand that this was her first time teaching Creative Writing, but was thoroughly disappointed in the class. We studied more grammar than critiquing each other's work. I would have rather had more class involvement and less teaching. On the other hand, there is no final.

I recommend this prof for English 100 if you want something easy. She is very flexible about due dates and lets you re-hand in essays for better marks. 5 essays total (1 in-class, 4 out-of-class), 1 grammar quiz, no midterm, easy final. She is also quite nice & approachable if you need help.

The class was easy if you actually read the books and go to class. she can be a little repetitive at times, but she explains the literature well.

Greatest prof I've had yet. You had to attend class to do well, but as long as you showed up and did the reading, it was smooth sailing. She always willing to give you extra feedback, and would help students one on one with papers. She isn't a grammar Nazi, nor a "Creative Flower", as she looks at everything logically. Best prof.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. The materials she asks you to read are interesting. ENGL100 4 essays and one grammar quiz ENGL110 3 essasy, 4 quizzes (on reading material) If you write your essays logically with proper grammar you do good. The best classes I have taken in University.

I recommend Hillabold for ESL students if you still need to take ENG100. She goes over grammar, which is a great review when getting back into writing. I found that she gave great feedback for essays, and her tests and quizzes never had surprise content.

I really love jean! She is a professor who seems to be really interested in grammar and enabling students write better. She is the only English professor that will allow you to submit your essay whenever (after due date). She seems to know people do bad in English, so she is really interested in anyway to help students get good grades! Awesome!

I loved loved loved Professor Hillabold! She's very understanding and aims at helping her students pass. She allowed us to revise our essays in hopes of a better grade and allowed late assignments. Her grammar quizzes were great, they helped me a whole lot personally. Definitely would recommend her. I'd go on and on about her honestly!!

I dont enjoy english but the material that she picked was intriguing and interesting enough. One in class essay and then 4 out of class essays along with a grammar quiz. She marks hard but shes always willing to explain how to write better essays. Very flexible with due dates. Attend class so you know what the essay topics are.

Jean is very kind and respectful toward her students. She wants to see you succeed. At some points, the lectures were not what the syllabus said we were supposed to be discussing, but stay on top of your readings and youll do fine. She also gives great feedback on essays and the grammar review in class was very helpful as well.

She is good at what she does and knows what she's talking about. Gives great feedback on essays. Grammar quiz is difficult even though you get 3 tries and she's a little hard to reach outside of class. Be prepared to read a novel and write 4 essays. Easy class if you don't procrastinate and rush through everything. She is a fair marker!

She is a nice teacher who is willing to help you succeed in your studies. Although her grammar quizzes are impossible, she marks fairly on her essays and provides valuable feedback. She will also accept late assignments and sometimes she will ask you to hand in an assignment again because she occasionally loses them. Just work hard and you'll pass

Loved Jean's class, she explains herself clearly in class and is a fair marker. If you hand in your essays in as paper copies I found she got them back to you relatively fast. I took her class at 8:30 in the morning and didn't attend every lecture and it didn't affect my overall grade.

Professor Hillabold is a very respectful instructor but lots of the material learned is on your own. We were assigned novels to read and write essays on. If you enjoy reading, she is a great prof to have

Jean is THE choice for English 100. I had to drop out of my last class... and Jean made my favorite subject FUN again. She isn't a hardcore, jaded, impossible to score over 60 marker. Her poem selection was interesting, and I loved the Starlight novel we read. The assignments and grading were clear and fair, and I ENJOYED my favorite subject.

Jean is a wonderful prof. She is very sweet and considerate when it comes to late papers. She isn't the greatest with technology so sometimes she takes her time, but overall she was a solid prof.

Love her! taking her class again for coming winter

She was nice and the class is easy if you actually attend. She gave us multiple dates for the final so there were options to better fit your schedule. Tried her best even though she is not super great with technology. I thought she was nice and respectable, overall a good class, no complaints.

Jean is a really nice lady and grades papers in fairness. Although there were lots of papers to write in this class, it was fun because we got to write about whatever we wanted. I was surprised to see that she has bad ratings, and maybe she is not so great in ENGL 100, but for me she was a sweetheart. :)
