Interesting woman. Essay after essay, but it is an OK class if you are good in English. She is really nice and tries to keep herself open to answer all questions. Took a hybrid class that met once a week.
Really nice teacher. She is very receptive to feedback. You will have to write essays and do book work. But she is fair and always gives you time to make up work.
Took her hybrid class. Didnt have to do much DB work everything was in class. She doesnt explain too well but loves to answer questions. 1 mandatory research paper at the end of the semester. She is very good at praising you and giving you feedback. She is really fun teacher and would take again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!! Easy "A" btw just do the work
Highly reccomend! Show up for class, do the assignments, and you will get an A. Hybrid class is awesome. Not very clear with instructions but I was able to figure it out. Responds to emails very quickly. One of my favorite teachers.
She is so cool.Highly recommend! Show up for class, do the assignments, and you will get an A. Hybrid class is awesome. Not very clear with instructions but I was able to figure it out. Responds to emails very quickly. One of my favorite teachers.
I agree w/other comments but want to add that she teaches you how to write a proper college level paper. She is an exceptional teacher. She provides individual feedback that is very constructive. She really wants all of her students to succeed. You will need the book, but older editions OK. 5 term papers and weekly HW but you will learn a lot.
Show up do the work and you'll be fine. especially since she lets you rewrite as much as u want
Jensea is a good professor. She's a little all over the place with the assignment requirements, but is always very flexible. She does teach you how to write a good essay and introduces new ways to prove a point with your writing. She sincerely cares about her students and just people in general. She wants you to succeed! Take her classes.
She is a really great professor and helps her students in any way she can. She can be disorganized but she is very flexible to help anyone better their grade.
Great teacher!! So helpful and wants you to succeed! It is a lot of work but if you do it you get the A. Offers a LOT of extra credit so even if u don't do well on your essays you get the A. I took her hybrid course so I had to do DBs once a week but so easy and you use them for your essays. I recommend her!!
Great teacher! Very enthusiastic and truly loves to teach. She has some strict requirements but she eases you in to them. She hands out extra credit just for being in class,since it was a hybrid course all of the essays were explained and walked through in class. A discussion board was due weekly but you could use it in your essay
Great Teacher!! really helpful and wants you to succeed! A lot of work but really easy. you get full credit for doing the work and you need to come to class. i took her hybrid class so i only had to go once a week. I loved this class. lots of group work too and group presentations often. I definitely recommend her!! She is soo nice!
Professor Storie was a great teacher. She really cares about her students succeeding in her class. She gives a lot of homework, but the homework pertains to your essays making it easier to write your ten page essays. I recommend this teacher because she really love her job.
What an angel. I crashed 4 other sections prior to hers and have the syllabus of each. Hers was not only the most interesting (new media), it was the kind that, above learning to read and write critically, makes you a more understanding person to others. Her hospitality should be gold standard. The 1st day my seatmate and I agreed: "She's so cool!"
Was a very easy class. But she was not very clear all the time. I spent a lot of the time confused and wondering what I was supposed to do. Very nice lady, I would recommend her if you don't mind the lack of clarity. Gives you almost off sources for all essays. Attendance is not mandatory but you get points for showing up anyways.
I enjoyed professor storie's class! I took her Eng 101 class. it was really easy and she makes the class enjoyable. i recommend her! she is very helpful as well.
She was a great teacher and thorough all though everything you needed to was outlined in all the work and online. I recommend her to anyone, she is easy and very helpful! I loved her and she helped me believe in my writing.
I took her hybrid class. it only meets on wednesday. her class is so easy. i definitely recommend her. all of her essays are group essays. :)
I absolutely loved this class. There were a lot of essays but she does a really good job of explaining the assignments and what she expects of you. I'd definitely take another class with her.
Take the class!!! It's super easy, the best thing is...you learn so much more than what you sign up for. Jensea is the kindest person ever and her love for life and people in general rubs off easily! The only thing you must know is every assignment is a group assignment, so if you're not into groups, find another course!!!
She is a good teacher, and not very concerned about grades. Can't skip too often, and have to do all the work overall good experience.
Professor Storie is AMAZING! I recommend her to anyone. I took her hybrid class and it seems like a lot of work at the time but it's all worth it and helps a lot! Discussion boards are very helpful, book work is easy and essays are all argument essays but she helps you with getting it perfect!You work in a group a lot. Take this class!
Discussion board is a must and very helpful! Book work is super easy and all the essays are argument essays.You do a lot of group work! She really cares about her students and helps with whatever you need. Take her class! She is awesome!
She is one of the best professors at MSJC. Extremely helpful and responds quickly to any questions you may have. She grades quickly and fair. Definitely take her you wont be disappointed. AT the end of the semester you will become a great writer at the end of the semester!
Jensea is a nice lady. I took her hybrid class and at first she is a little confusing on her instructions but she works with you and wants to help you learn. Essay brainstorming is done together in groups before you write your own essay making it really easy! weekly homework and discussion board but if you do your work this class is simple.
Best teacher I have ever had in my life. In her class I learned how to articulate my thoughts in an organized way so my writing made sense. You will do a lot of writing. She reads and gives lots of feedback to her students. In high school i never learned how to write and I just assumed writing was not my thing. She is fun and interesting.
she was a really great teacher for my hybrid class, she likes to show a lot of YouTube videos to help make your writing stronger. She gives great feedback and if you have any questions you can always contact her through email. She knows your strong suits in writing, but the essays get to be up to 10 pages long. I would so take her class again.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TEACHER. It's to your benefit if you show up to class, she goes over quite a bit in the lectures. She walks you through the essays to make sure you get them done right and she's willing to work with you if you are struggling in the course. She genuinely cares for each of her students and goes above and beyond when you need her.
Best english professor I've ever had! If you suck at english, your writing skills will be ten times better by the end of the semester! She super fast at emailing back. She helps the class write every paper, so you'll always know what she wants. If you do your work and try she'll give you an A. Theres tons of extra credit at the end! TAKE HER CLASS!
Awesome Professor! Participation matters, do not skip class because alot of information is given to enhance writing skills. Very inspirational and extra credit is given. Amazing lectures and group projects. interaction is important to develop writing skills. Strongly reccomend.
Best English teacher I've ever had! She is very clear when it comes to explaining everything that you must do. She gives quite a lot of work but it is not hard at all. She motivated the heck out of me! Take her for 101 and I promise you will not regret it. She's always there for you if you need help. I would take her again in a heartbeat!
If your taking English 101 take her class. She responds to emails as quick as possible. Her essay outlines are extremely helpful.
Professor Storie was a great teacher in the sense of her attitude during class, always prepared, & cared about getting to know her students. Her grading is TOUGH, and loves to mark down points for little things. I had to do extra credit just to keep an A. Points matter in this class, and they add up quickly! Be prepared to work hard & show effort.
Such an easy class, wish I would've her sooner
She gives quite of bit of outside assignments, but they all help you build up to your essay. When the time to finally write the essay does come, you are already prepared with everything you need. She is a great teacher, and grades with good feedback that will help you. Don't skip class, because that is when she really helps you the most!
TAKE HER CLASS! She gives lots of extra credit and it seems she adjusts the grading critieria to the needs of the class. There were a couple people who had poor english and they passed her class, her essays are fun and she wants you to pass. Her faith in my skills bumped me from a B to an A. She loves her students and emails feedback quickly.
Professor Storie is amazing! I learned so much in her Eng 101 class about writing and about myself. She's a great teacher, explains in detail, encourages questions and creativity, she comments how your work could be better, and gives extra credit. Take her class, you will not regret it.
Hands down the BEST professor I've ever had. She's literally SO amazing. Her class seems scary on the first day, but it's not even hard. She makes everything so relatable to what's going on in today with papers, and makes her class fun. Best English professor you'll ever have & she lets you redo past essays at the end of the semester!
One of the best teachers I've come across. She breaks down each paper, and has a heart of gold. 10/10 would take again. Not only that, but she takes feedback from students on what the papers should be on making them a lot less dreadful to write.
she honestly the best teacher I have ever taken! truly cares for everyone in her class and wants everyone to pass. I would most definitely take her again for all my English classes. I recommend taking her she's the best!!!
An amazing teacher. She wants to help you in any way she can. I recommend taking her class of you're going to take english 101 for the summer. The work given isn't so heavy; you just need to be present and she helps to break it down for you. I would dedinetly take her class again if I had to.
Would definitely take again. Great teacher and she is funny
There were interesting topics to write about, but the directions were so convoluted and she was disorganized at points. I found that her teaching style and feedback did not help improve my writing. Unfortunately, I will be taking another English course when I transfer to make up for this class.
Professor Storie is a great teacher. She grades your paper very thoroughly, she is easy to understand also very helpful. She will go out her way to make sure you understand the work assigned. Professor Storie answers email quickly and give great feedback. My tips are just attend classes regularly, ask questions, and always email her.
She's honestly the best. She gives you every chance you need to succeed and will help you along the way with anything! She is a little broad but it's because IT'S A CRITICAL THINKING CLASS...(HELLO!) THINGS ARE UP FOR INTERPRETATION! I loved writing for her and seeing her feedback on all my papers, her class is a must for 103!
She so easy! Take her her! Her class can be confusing but she is very easy, just do all your assignments and you are good to go. She is very kind too.
AMAZING! A lot of reading and writing, but all the writing you do is pretty much copy and paste/ edit to your essays that are due. 5 essays and 1 research paper throughout the semester. She is funny and it makes you want to attend class. The topics that are covered throughout the semester are based on today's social norms. Highly recommended!!!
she's a really sweet lady who won't let you give up on your homework no matter how hard it is, she'll be behind you no matter what, give you some really good ideas while having conversation at to get you motivated, and she'll pay for your lunch and if you need to print your paper so give you money. But don't take advantage of her kindness.
This last summer I took my first college class here. I was doubtful at first,but all I had to do was ask her for help,and she never brushed me off. She grades fair for each individuals ability. As long as you turn in your work she will see that you are putting in the effort. She has a lot of patience,so don't feel rushed.
The hidden gem of MSJC. interesting topics to write about and grades fairly for everyone. But because she's so flexible her directions can sometimes be confusing, but ask for help, she'll always make time to explain the prompt and answer all questions. Overall Highly recommend
Wouldn't take her class again. Lectures are all over the place. Preaches about class etiquette yet has no boundaries herself, has no hesitation talking about students to other students. Doesn't respond to emails yet yells at you if you don't email her with questions, be extremely clear with any questions asked, she never gives accurate info
She has made me a better writer. A wonderful woman all around. Brilliant and inspiring. She is fun!
Prof Storie is really caring about her students and wants all her students to succeed, She is willing to give you her time to ask any questions and help you, she gives really good feedback on your essay which leads you to passing her essay's and class, Especially, for English being my second language, you will learn so much, I highly recommend her
she is the 1st Prof. Storie i ever rated. Shes the BEST. she loves to teach and always willing to go above and beyond to help her student. very respectful and understanding. highly recommend her specially if you struggle with English. We need more people like Proff STORIE in the education system. if you work for an A u will get it.
An easy and great class to be in. My classmates were great, the teaching concept was easy to understand. She's super nice and willing to help you as much as possible. Heads up, though she's a bit awkward. The work is difficult, but she teaches so well. I would recommend her over any professor.
Great essay topics to write about. Gives clear explanations of what is due. Glad I took this professor after years of not taking a college English class.
Lectures are all over the place. She would talk for 30 minutes about what we were going to do and I still did not know what was going on. I would ask her questions and she would get mad at me for not understanding. Very frustrating class. If you dont really want to learn anything and just want to pass a class and move on then take this class.
A fabulous instructor who really cares about her students. She will really go the extra mile to make sure you understand the assignment. Plus the class was super interesting and she is funny too. Take her!!
Professor Storie is really an amazing professor. While there is a lot of writing in the class (ah hey, it's English), the essay assignments are really interesting. So if you do not like English, take her because at least you will be writing about something that is super interesting. Plus, she really cares about you. On top of it: she's hilarious!!
I love Professor Storie. She cares about her students and is very passionate about English in general. Sometimes it can seem like her instruction isn't clear, but if you ask her she will explain it to you however many times needed for you to understand. You will always have homework, but honestly, you're just writing out the essays by paragraph.
It is critical thinking, so sometimes the class is very challenging. BUT, Professor Storie does everything she can to help you get through the concepts and the terms. I would just always text her to make sure I was right on track (yeah, you can text her). At least. the research paper is on TV dramas, so that makes it kind of fun and real to life.
If you gotta take it, take Prof. Storie. She makes the class fun and you will laugh a lot. The writing is a lot but what the heck, she is chill and will help you with it cuz you write the essays in homework drafts. I took her for summer and it was quick and fairly easy.
Storie is SUCH a G. Took her for an 8 week accelerated English 101 course and it was so fast paced I thought my head was going to spin off but I am definitely a better writer after getting through that. She breaks down the writing process and makes it so workable. Bad writer? Take Storie, you'll owe it all to her.
Jensea is SO great! She is super awesome, and a huge Golden State Warriors fan. The class requires you to write five (5) papers over the course of the semester, but she makes it extremely easy and fun. she allows you so much time to work on it in class also. She is super understanding and willing to help/work with you. TAKE HER CLASS! She's amazing
Professor Storie genuinely cares about her students and wants to see them succeed, so she is available almost 24/7 -- you can text her any time about ANYTHING. The topics in the class are super cool but totally challenging: they make you think like no other class ever. But like I said: Jen is beyond helpful, so all you have to do is ask. Take her!
Prof. Storie's class is amazing, but A LOT OF WORK. But I hear that about all the 103 classes. At least w/ Jen's class you cover some interesting stuff -- stuff you'd be talkin to your friends about.I absolutely LOVED this class. And another cool thing is that you can text her anytime. If you've got a question, she's got an answer. Just text!
Professor Storie is the best. She is beyond helpful and is funny in a creative way. She gets you fired up about critical thinking and helps you become a better writer. She is available through text all the time. She's super caring and passionate about critical thinking and what makes characters tick in films and lit. Very inspirational class.
Professor Storie is an amazing English professor. She makes things fun and not boring. The papers you write are on interesting subjects. I enjoyed writing my papers and seeing how she would grade it and her feedback!
Quite possibly one of the best professors I will ever have in my career as a college student. Jensea is highly intelligent (as to be expected from a professor) and incredibly kind. She has very detailed assignment instructions and a comprehensive lesson plan, which she lays out the first day. The essay topics are interesting and thought-provoking
I love Professor Storie!!! I took her a 2 years ago (late on the review) but would definitely take her again if I could, she cares so much about her students and is always willing to help.
Love Her! Such an amazing person. If you struggle like I do and need to become a better writer then take her. She has an excessive amount of points you must hit for essays but she is a fair grader, wants you to grow and is accessible always for questions. Fun papers and easy essays but at the same time a challenge due to all the requirements.
I have no words, I love them so much! Their personality is amazinggg! They really want you to succeed and gives such good feedback. Expect homework after every lecture, but their comments are sure to make you a better writer. Total of 4 essays that you gradually work on, and NO TESTS! They are one of my favorites, and I HIGHLY recommend!
By far the most inspirational professor and mentor I have had. There've been MANY nights where I text them frustrated with writers block and they ALWAYS get back to me. Jen invests in each of their students by pushing and helping them find their specific talents and quirks. They believed in me more than I or anyone else ever has. I am so grateful!
Professor Storie is amazing. She does have a lot of other characteristics that are listed, she will turn you into a great writer after this course. She will take the time to make you better and encourage you along the way. Please attend the course, even though you may have the access to view the course its better in person. You will love her.
Professor Storie is one of the best English instructor that I've had so far. Shes so kind and helpful, her feedbacks are the best. She provides a lot of resources and writers models. I wasn't confident with my writing skills before but she helped me became a better writer. Shes just amazing. I highly recommend taking her class you wont regret it :)
Professor Storie is must take teacher highly recommended due to how she takes time to make you a better writer and encourages you along the way. Please ask questions if you don't understand, ask for help, don't be shy, she will help you I promise you. I really don't have anything negative to say about her though. She's caring and wants you to pass.
I LOVED Professor Storie! She really cares about her students and always gives good feedback. She is so sweet and this class has a really relaxed setting. It is a lot of writing but she is an easy grader. You also have to present a few times in this class but you get to do it with a group. Overall, I really enjoyed her class and would take it again
Jenesa Storie is a phenomenal professor. She is so kind and cares about you as an individual. Her class is simple yet challenging. We write a lot and it is group project heavy. Be prepared to dig deep and think outside of the box in her class. We frequently present and it is a must to attend. Follow the rubrics and you will be fine.
Jens is one of the best teachers I have ever had! She is super cool and down to earth, willing to help you with anything you need. Gives a cool grandma vibe. Her class is pretty easy, if you do the work and follow the rubric, you'll pass no problem. However, there is a lot of work but nothing that is unmanageable, lots of groupwork. Love her!
Professor Storie is so amazing. If I could re-take her class again I would. If you don't understand a certain thing she will help you understand. She gives amazing feedback, overall she cares so much for her students. Sad to see the semester end so quickly I will surely miss the way she teaches.
Took ages to grade assignments. And I mean this teacher would take for ever to grade every little paper. I got a D in the class and it makes zero sense. Its too late to ask questions now.
Professor Storie is amazing. She is very kind and will do anything to help her students succeed. Her prompts and grading criteria are easy to understand. If you are struggling and need help, you just have to ask her.
Professor Storie went far and beyond because I felt so lost and confused. She is the only Professor who believed and had faith in me even when I didn't have it. She took the time to sit down with me and broke down the structure to my level of understanding. She taught me the skills and knowledge that I needed to know and I am forever thankful.
Pro: Professor Storie was super nice. She gives plenty of extra credit out and care about her student. If you are struggle, she will help you to understand the material. Con : Her modules was too messy for my liking, so many homework, and peer view on every single paragraphs of every paper which could be a little bit too much.
Took her class for the summer and while I liked her personally her class was challenging for me. I left the class with an A but she gives a lot of work and can be a tough grader. I would not take again but she may be better in a regular semester
TAKE HER! By far one of the best professors I've had for 101 and 103. she is a VERY caring teacher and wants to see you succeed and improve as a writer. She's also very understanding if you need an extension; just make sure to communicate with her. Don't fall behind as assignments can pile up but she offers a generous amount of extra credit.
Most likely wants you to pass. I found her class difficult, assignments were due within 1 hour or else it's late; she wants you to submit "something." It made me feel rushed. 1/4 of the time is for sharing about our work process. She left you more confused than understood. Her requirements or what she looks for is unclear. Hard grader too.
Awesome professor. She always gives great feedback on your work. She truly cares about her students and makes you feel confident about your writing. Overall you can expect minimum of 2 assignments per week and 2 group presentations. the group presentations are easy you'll see.
She's very nice and clearly cares, but I could not understand a single thing she said. I was never really able to understand what she wanted in the assignments given. There was way too many assignments dedicated to planning out essays in ways that just don't mix with my brain; the process we were required to use didn't match how I prefer to write.
She was clear in what she graded and also allowed us to go back and change things to make up the points/ re-turn in some things. She's crazy but you love her, she is very good with her lectures and provides a good amount of extra credit. All you have to do is try in that class and she will help you, communicate with her!
Professor Storie was an amazing professor who cared deeply for her students. She is extremely attentive towards responding to students needs and can be reached via text message. Her assignments are unique and can be a bit confusing to understand at first but with dedication, and communication, every assignment was easy to succeed in.
Storie was very nice! Her class is very hard to navigate especially in the online format. It would take you a while to understand what exactly it is that she wants and how she wants it. She is open all questions you might have and would respond to them quickly. She does get a little political. Other than those things she was great.
Now that I'm taking the same class with a different professor, I have now realized just how awful this class was. I have no clue what's going on with these reviews. She basically didn't teach; I didn't learn anything. No lectures on concepts, just assignments. The grading criteria was never clear. She's really nice, but she just didn't teach.
Proessor Storie is an amazing professor. She really does care about her students and understands that we have problems in our own lives. I would 100% take her again and wished she taught every subject so I could possibly have her again haha
If you need to take English 103 take Professor Storie! She makes the class fun to learn in, assigns multiple group projects which helps create new friendships. Professor Storie makes herself available for questions outside of class hours and offers plenty of extra credit. She is a super caring professor who wants to see her students succeed!
Shes very nice and caring! And I mean that, she loves her students to death. Every single one of them. However her teaching methods are really odd and just didn't stick with me. I couldn't keep my head screwed on at times. The structure of the class drove me bonkers.
She is the sweetest lady ever and very understanding. She absolutely adores her students and loves to see participation. Take her class as it is very well paced and she gives good feedback. She teaches you how to be creative and think deeper. Put in the proper effort and you should be able to pass and she genuinely cares a lot about her students!
genuinely so kind, lots of extra credit, super available outside of class, really clear instructions online, engaging projects, very veryy understanding and flexible. If you participate in class and do discussions you'll pass. She has honestly had an incredible impact on my academic career as someone who deals with burnout. Highly recommend!!!!!!
Storie is a caring prof who wants students to succeed. Her class can be challenging, but she offers lots of extra credit and is open to questions. Unstuck AI was a big help for study prep.
Storie is a really sweet professor, she is big on group assignments and there was a lot of extra credit opportunities. The class overall was really easy and a lot of fun.
