At first, you may struggle with boosting your grade, but you can revise three times from 5 essays included a research paper. Also, the midterm is counted as one of a revised essay, so this midterm is the opportunity to boost your eassay's score. She is so helpful for international students.

Everybody says really nice things about her, but I didn't really think she was that great. In the past my english teachers have challenged me to think in new ways, and it's like she tries to be provocative but can't pull it off. Everything is very step by step. Which is good for some people but I haven't improved in anything.

Professor taught the class like it was a jr high class. It was a very easy class to pass, but very hard to get an A in. I found myself often writing essays that would easily get an A in much more difficult classes, but were graded very poorly, with little to no explanation upon why they were graded like this.

As a beginning english course Jenny is a great professor that eases you into the world of english without overworking her students. Some might be angry with her phone "policy" but I don't blame her, she just wants students to pay attention. I enjoy her class and am going in to finals week feeling confident, she is encouraging and helpful.

Jenny is a very kind woman. Her class however was fairly easy to pass, just know that even one missing assignment could break your grade. Expectations are clear and not hard to follow. Lecture could be a bit boring and seem unnecessary, and honestly they are but it's still good to have the instructions read to you or have extra help. Kind woman.
