She really care and is going to work with you and wants you to pass. You got to go to class and participate and do the work to pass
Ms. Hanson will help you and she will push you to be the best you can be. She wants everyone to pass you just have to do your work.
She's one of those teachers who you can run and talk to about anything. Always there when needed even if she's busy in her own life. Won't let you fail her class no matter what. Can't miss class she will call to make sure everything is okay. Overall a wonderful teacher!
Good professor
She was a great teacher.
Respected, participation matters, caring, extra credit available, she's awesome
she is very determined to have all her students pass her class
Good class. Lots of work. Patient and cool professor.
She is a very caring teacher that make sure that all of her students successfully passes her class.
10/10 This teacher is soo good all you need to do is follow directions with your work, DONT CHEAT and go to class youll be good . Shes funny and cares about your time and grade.
Will have lots of discussion boards but pretty easy!
Probably my favorite professors of the many. Super understanding and helpful
Less reading. Let discussion boards be more homework. Submit grades before semester is over.
She makes sure everyone participates.
Makes sure you understand the material
Jessica Hanson was by far my favorite Professor this semester! She works with you through any issue in or out of the classroom. As long as you communicate, participate, and put in the effort with her and in class, she will work with you. I recommend her for any English that she teaches.
Although her process may be tedious, she means well.
Ms. Hanson is a very good teacher. I would definitely take her again
She is a good teacher and cares a lot for her students just gives a lot of papers but she had a coo English class.
I absolutely loved her class she was one of the best professors I've had yet.
She's very understanding and caring. She wants us to do good and succeed and tries her best to help us and make sure were successful and pass the class.
She's a good teacher and her class is easy
She is a very outgoing professor. She does assign lots of papers, but it is not an overwhelming amount. Overall she's a good teacher and I enjoyed her class. I'm actually apart of Engl 1010 02
She not nothing to play with. If you just listen and do it then you'll pass so easy.
She is diligent and communicative. She always gives you a warning about upcoming work that's due. Very respectful and down to Earth.
Nice class, just come to class and do your work.
When writing essays for Ms. Hanson's class the only thing that I would say is that every essay has a word count and you must reach that word count in order to get a good grade on your essay she actually does care and want to teach just don't make her upset and she will make a group chat for your class. My class was the English 1010 class.
Ms. Hanson is a really great teacher. She is always full of life and energy. It is easy to stay engaged with her class. You will get quite a bit of work but its not unbearable. Be ready to participate in class because she will pick on you. She also will call and text you often but its out of love and passion for you to do good. Overall she is great
Best english professor I ever had very easy, most homework is discussion boards. She's so nice and understanding. Really cares about her students' grade.
Ms. Hanson is the best English 1010 teacher. Her paragraph method makes writing essays 100 times easier. She cares deeply for her students and will reason with you as long as you communicate before hand. Reads are very interesting, intriguing, and will make you think or develop an opinion that you will want to share in class.
She was amazing, great communication, very hands on
Chill and laid back teacher if you get your work done and participate.
Ms.Hanson is such an amazing teacher. She is very flexible and understanding so please don't take it for granted. She has great lectures and has an very engaging class. I'll miss this class
It's a good class she's very flexible and will work with you. You might find the outgoing politics jarring at first but you get used to it.
There are many essays and she moves pretty fast, as long as you do your work and come to class though, she is very lenient with you and she tries to work with you.
She's good at giving feedback. She's good at going over what to do with our assignments, but there's always a lot of homework and diffusion code. The work load can be a lot at times
Great teacher I highly recommend
Ms. Hanson is a great professor. Her class is not hard you just have to do your work. She works with her students and will do anything in her power to help them succeed. Her assignments can be a lot so do not procrastinate. Overall you will come out of this class as a better writer and with a professor that you can call your friend.
She's an amazing professor who is willing to help you when you fall behind. It's really hard to fail this class unless you just do absolutely nothing.
She does her job well as long as you do your work on time
I genuinely like being in Ms. Hanson's class. Just make sure you do all your work and be on time for class and you will be good.
The class has a fast pace, but as long as you keep up with work, you should be fine.
As a freshman she is a good teacher to take. Her class work isnt hard, it can be unnecessarily too much that she will ask you to do in the classwork.
be on time
Decent Professor
She is very understanding, but can also be a little annoying.
She is really nice, and she really cares if you pass or fail if you care. Just make sure to turn your work in on time and be attentive in class.
Proffessor is very understanding and patient with students. Reasonable teaching style and nice to work with.
Be on time.
Work with her and she will work with you
shes dope and caring really understanding and the work is easy
Overall she's a good teacher, if you're a freshman i recommend her because she'll make sure nobody fails in the class. Also very interactive.
she was a great professor. Very caring and intentive to her students. Very aware of social problems regarding race, gender, and any form of discrimination. get ready to write essays. the essay prompts are nice because it gives you the ability to write about things you care about. The class discussions are interesting as well. she is super nice.
The class is easy if you do the work.
She is very understanding about personal problems. She actually helped me while I went through problems.
I loved this professor. The class is a heavy load, However she is very passionated and willing to help.
She tries to be as engaging as possible but sometimes she gives woke white woman. Overall though she cool and a fair grader.
Ms. Hanson does a great job with helping you understand the criteria and you're writing skills.
she's tough with grading but overall a good teacher!
Teacher was good
She is very caring and helps stay on top of things.
Ms. Hanson is a great teacher and I recommend her to anyone who has to take English 1020. She's a great communicator, understanding, and has a sense of humor. In my opinion, it is kind of hard to fail her class because she works with every student to make sure they are successful in her class. The work can get heavy but she makes it less stressful!
Be patient and communicate with her with everything. Overall great teacher and person
Can be late on grading assignments.
Literally only way you can fail is by not trying
Literally only way you fail this class is by not doing anything
Take this teacher if you want to hear about black history all day and have homework every night.
Shes very easy and very interactive. The only problem is the amount of homework she give but if you pay attention then it should be very easy to do. I would definitely take this class again.
great teacher would take again
I love Ms. Hanson and I recommended her to all of my friends for next semester. She is very fun in the classroom and always cares about your personal well being. I highly recommend her for ENGL 1010 and 1020
I love Ms.Hanson ! My absolute favorite teacher.
Just do your work and pay attention in class. This was a very interactive course.
Ms. Hanson was a real good professor. Since TSU is a HBCU we actually get to learn about our history in this class. She is also very helpful, and the class is not hard. Just follow directions and try your best and you will get a good grade! The classroom is also good vibes!
Very understanding is a student herself she is very patient and loves what she does. I would recomend taking her in the future.
Ms. Hanson is a great professor. She explains the work we have very well, and she make sure her students are well taken care of in class.
I enjoyed her as a teacher. I related to her a lot, considering she was a student herself while I had her. She was very engaged with us, and the class discussions weren't dull and boring. There would be homework every night, but it's over interesting topics and black history. I'll 10/10 and recommend and I would like her as my professor again.
She gives a lot of homework but she explains and makes sure everyone understands before leaving class. You can also contact her outside of class too which is helpful.
Ms. Hanson cares about her students truly. If you want a professor that does not care about attendance then this is not the right professor. However, it is almost impossible to fail her class. She relies heavily on communication if you miss a class. Shes very easy to talk to. All you have to do is do your work and you should be good.
Great Teacher, be ready to laugh and take notes. Cares about her students.
very considerate and understanding teacher, enjoyed being in her class.
she is one of the best professor is this college
Very easy class
she's a great teacher and she's very understanding. she will make sure you understand what you are doing.
She is an amazing teacher. All of her lectures were very clear, and all the homework was beneficial with all the class topics.
Ms. Hanson is a great professor. knows/teaches a lot about black history which I really enjoyed. Very knowledgeable about people of color, made class interesting and fun. Had good in class discussions. Overall great class.
Honestly she is strict,but she is fun and if you show up and participate your grade will show
she is a really good teacher.
She is a very easy teacher. She's also very interactive so participation matters. Her only problem is that she gives a lot of homework. You have to write at least one paper a day. However if you pay attention in class, then the papers will get easy. I would definitely take this class again.
Ms. Hanson is very good professor. You can tell she truly cares about her students and wants you to succeed She is very strict grader, so make sure you look over the rubric as much as possible..Tbh if you go to class, participate, do your homework, and turn your assignments in on time you should have an A off the rip.
She is very humorous and welcoming
Instructor Hanson is amazing at class engagement. She responds to questions in a timely manner, gives detailed instructions and explanations, and is friendly. Attendance is mandatory and she will let you know the most important days to show up. She sends reminders about homework and gives detailed feedback. 10/10. My best instructor so far.
She give A decent amount of work but is always understanding.She is a helping hand and always takes care of her students
Cool teacher and she allows for you to be yourself and she gives second chances so just be aware of your actions and there should be no problem.
As long as you complete the work and follow her directions, her class is easy. And she has a very good, funny, and outgoing personality. She also communicates very well with her students. In class and outside of class.
The professors professional ability including. teaching style and ability to convey the material clearly is good and helpful to other students.
It was really fun to have class with her. Always she was respectful to students.
I want people to know that she is a great teacher and will do anything to help you pass because she does not want you to fail.
In my opinion, it was really fun to attend Ms. Hanson's class. She always tried the whole class to get into it and participate. I think that I improved my writing skills with her correct feedback.
She is definitely one of my favorite teachers at TSU. She is funny at times, although she can be a bit strict, she cares about her students and she wants you to do well.
She is a great teacher and actually pushes you so if you fail you absolutely wasn't trying. It is a good bit of homework and papers but coming from a person who doesn't like papers it's not too bad. be prepared to read out loud and participate!
A really understanding teacher and, doesn't play when it comes to assignment.
A great teacher and relates to us. She understands the struggles we go through during school and how stressed out we could be.
She's a great teacher. If you try not to procrastinate, assignments are easy. Paying attention in class is beneficial to your understanding of the assignment. I look forward to taking her again. She's very understanding and patient while also being straightforward.
It's a lot of writing, but you'll be good if you do the homework and meet the essay requirements.
very personal with students, shows she cares and still teaches great even though she is also in school and having assignments.
She is very fair and low stress
You can tell Ms. Hanson has a heart for teaching and her students. She doesn't work overnight, and collects each student's phone number just for fun, or just for a paycheck; She genuinely cares, which is quite difficult to find among a college professor.
Ms. Hanson is a great teacher. She takes her time explaining the materials, always replies back to your messages, and even sends constant reminders on work that is due, so u don't forget and stay on track. I would recommend taking her course!
She is very sweet and considerate! In this class you will have to make sure you are punctual and timely with your stuff (late work is not accepted and being present is crucial).
You will surely enjoy this class because the instructor is both caring and amusing.
Lots of work but a great teacher, would take again
She will give you quite a bit of work but she usually does a good job explaining. Attendance is mandatory. Great person and teacher will make sure you will succeed. You'd have to really not try to fail her class.
Ms.Hanson was the perfect teacher to work with. She does a lot of 1 on 1 and makeup work if you are reasonable with her. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.
She is amazing. 10/10. She is gonna make sure that your mental health is addressed 1-on-1.
This professor cares about her students and is involved with them. She makes sure we are ok if we are not present in class. If I could take this teacher again I would.
She reaches out to her students and actually responds to emails when needed. Always makes sure the students are okay and makes sure things are clear.
Good professor grades good and leaves comments. Makes sure your on track no matter what.
She is a good teacher. She will help you if you need it even when some students do not put in the effort. She does give homework but other than that she is good.
One of the best English professor, she is very aware of struggle of disorder such as autism and ADD/ADHD. Very Understanding and willing to work with you to get your grade, but it is a team effort, and you have to do your part for a good final grade.
I enjoyed her class a lot , most def would take again & would recommend. She also is dependable and caring.
she is a very hands on teacher and will answer any questions you may have .
Ms.Hanson is a great professor and she truly cares about students. Attendance is very important to her, she likes to talk and will hold you past the class time a lot. But overall her syllabus was clear and she was a easy to work with professor.
She does talk a lot, and she waits to the last minute to explain assignments. Overall she is a good professor and is willing to help you.
She is good and will help when you need her to.
I liked how she cared about students and it was more then just getting the class work done i also liked how it kept my attention because normally English is very boring to me i wished that some topics were not talked about or was a warning because the topic with the law and colored people bothered me a lot because i been through something like
Honestly an amazing professor that emphasizes the importance of black literature. Her lectures are informative and amazing. Definitely taking again.
She is very cool and honest.
Ms. Hanson is cool people. She is very helpful and explanatory. Her class is easy to pass as long as you do your work

Ms.Hanson was a really good teacher her talked were interesting and never boring

She will care about you a lot and make sure that you get good grades.
She is a great professor. She is always willing to help you with your assignments. Yes, you will have a couple of essays and homework assignments, but they are not that bad or hard.
I enjoyed having Ms. Hanson as my teacher. I feel she was the best teacher I had when it comes to giving feedback and critiquing my work.
Even though she gives work every class it well worth it and easy to me
Was a great professor and was very easy to get in touch with. Made sure that I turned all my work in and really cared for success. Love her soo much. Highly recommend choosing her!! I loved her!!! TAKE HER
Attendance is very necessary. work needs to be done on time
Ms.Hanson does a great job with communicating with all her students which is key in college because everyone needs that relationship with their professor.
One of the better teachers I've had so far at Tennessee state.
I loved Ms.Hanson. Not because she is a good teacher but because she is an understandable teacher. Many people take that for granted but if you have something going on, she understands and doesn't penalize you for it. The work isn't hard, its consistent. The class is easy if you don't procrastinate and get your work done its an easy "A".
She is the best English teacher I have had. If you ever get the option to choose her to be your professor PICK HER. She is ALWAYS responding to emails and text messages at crazy hours of the day even when she has a lot of work to do herself. Also, the emails and texts are very detailed. She wants to make sure that you truly understand the work.
I recommend you take Ms. Hanson. She's a really good teacher. The only thing is you'll be writing hella essays, like every week an essay is due but what can I say it's an English class. She is very cool and easy to vibe with. she's the best and I am taking her again. Be on time and do your work.
Great teacher she was very hands on and was always going above and beyond for her students
Ms Hanson is a great communicating professor who wants to see all student succeed but that does not mean sh will roll over for you, you must come to class and do your homework
I love miss Hanson, she is one of the best teachers I ever had. When I needed feedback she gave it. When I needed anything she was there. She is so easy to communicate with. The work is easy, she always checks to see if you did it. She loves her students and I would take again!!! Get to know her, because she's a great teacher to have.
I honestly think she is pretty cool. She gives homework every week but it's not time consuming or hard. If you pay attention in class and do your part you will be just fine.
The best instructor that I had this semester. She cares about more than just the assignments.
Great professor ! just wants you to attend and for your work. If you cant, always just communicate with her. She's very understanding and easy to reach. She genuinely wants everyone to pass.
Very good teaching style , rather talk lectures and about the work and engaging rather than just let you do the work yourself .
participation & attendance is mandatory. she is very lenient & accessible outside the class.
very easy. just make sure you get the work done on time
Ms.Hanson is an amazing teacher, and her classroom is a comfortable, and exciting place for students especially new incoming freshman. 10/10 would recommend her for English 1010, the only thing that you might have a discomfort with is the amount of class participation but as you get comfortable with it you will be fine.
Ms Hanson is unlike many of my other professors as she goes out of her way to make sure you understand the readings and homework assignments. She does stay on top of attendance but she also emphasizes her office hours for a class missed or to get extra help with the work.
She was very nice and seemed like she really cared about her students. You will get homework everyday but the assignments are not that hard. She is a good teacher I would take her again.
Very nice and easy to get along with
What I would say about Prof. Hanson for future students would be that she truly does care about her student's success. If you take her class, make sure to ALWAYS be on time, and when writing essays for her, make sure to follow the rubric as close as you can to ensure the most points. She was a great teacher and would take her again.
Mrs. Hanson is a firm teacher. She cares about every single last one of her classmates and wants everybody in her class to leave out feeling well educated and fulfilled with the best of knowledge she can give us. I really enjoyed her this semester, and by far she was my favorite teacher out of all my other professors.
Attendance is mandatory. Like only two missed classes for the whole course so beware that. But if you know you can keep on top of that, great English professor with a willingness to communicate with students. Gave feedback on every essay as well. Highly recommend!
Love Ms.Hanson she cares about her students and will help make sure you are doing good. The work is actually easy if you pay attention. She is not work load heavy but we did have an assignment every week but they were reasonable. Recommend all freshmen take her class.
One of the best classes I took attendance is mandatory! The best teacher ever communicates very well and is fair and cares for you. Work is easy homework even easier. Only wrote two essays the whole class both was a page long. We popcorn read a lot in her class. Make sure u come to classss !!!!
Overall a great teacher and she cares a lot about your grade. Attendance is mandatory so make sure you go to class every day!
Communicates well and goes the extra mile with students
Attendance is mandatory, she will stay on you and she's not afraid to blow up your phone. But that means that she really cares about her students. Her class wasn't that hard, not much homework but is a tough grader.
This is my second time taking Ms. Hanson's class and I still liked it. She was still very responsive to late texts, and she is very caring and also very lenient. SHE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO FAIL! She will try her best to help you pass with an A, you just have to put effort in as well.
Ms. Hanson is a great teacher! She is very caring, attentive, and straightforward. Attendance is always mandatory so make sure you come to class. However, she is not going to give you a hard time if you do your part.
This teacher was great!
Ms. Hanson is cool people. You have to attend her class and she truly grades the work that you turn in. If its good work, you get a good grade. If you don't do good work, you get a not so good grade with great feedback on how to improve. I passed with an A. Just do your work, come to class, and participate you will pass with a good grade :)
She is a very hands on teacher, easy to contact and access.
An easy teacher to take, she honestly cares a lot about you and your grade
Ms.Hanson is truly a really great English Professor ! She is really loving and cares about her students ! She wants to see everyone succeed and you can tell that it is really genuine ! I would recommend taking her for 1010 and 1020 !
Ms. Hanson is a great teacher. She is tough on deadlines but if you communicate that there are certain things preventing you from meeting the them then shw will work with you. She is also heavy on everyone participating which is a good thing if you are not a vocal person.
Ms Hanson is a great teacher and she is very helpful and cares a lot about your grade! Make sure you show up to class on time and do the homework. Overall an amazing teacher and would take again!
Ms. Hanson is a wonderful teacher, but there have been at times when I feel she wasn't understanding. Attendance is very important for her class.Don't miss her class and pay attention to her lectures.
She's a good teacher you just have to come to class everyday and you can't be late you have no space to slip up.
She cares a lot about her students. You will have a lot of assignments but they will be explained well and they are never too hard.
Mrs Hanson is very big on attendance you can not miss a class and if you do she will lwt you make it up in office hours. We did about 2 papers this semester .No test
Ms. Hanson is a great teacher, her energy makes you actually want to do your work.
She's easy, you just have to do the homework and finish the papers on time.
Gives a lot of work, but it is explained well. Not a hard class at all
Must attend class in order to pass, gives good feedback, and is extremely caring toward her students.
Ms. Hanson cool, be on time do your work and you'll pass
Ms. Hanson is very nice and understanding to all the students concerns and issues. You literally fail this class if you do completely nothing. She makes it super easy and understanding.
Ms. Hanson is a great professor that will make sure everyone passes her course. She is very understanding and easy to contact outside of class. She does give out a lot of homework but it is not hard to do at all. If you follow the directions and participate you should automatically pass with an A. I 100% recommend and would take her again!
Ms.Hanson is a great teacher, she shows that she cares about our grades and success and she builds relationships with students. The only thing is the homework can be a little overwhelming and its a lot of reading , if you communicate with her she will help you out though.
This is a great class. Take her if u can
She did well keeping us engaged, but she is not the easiest, there will be a lot of work, however she designs the class so that you have ample time and also that it is not just essays upon essays to do.
She goes over everything together in class to make sure we aren't lost; even if we are, she explains and walks us through to help us understand.
Grades tough but explains in detail how to approve. Attendance necessary! and participate. Really easy if you just do your work and try. Also really funny
Lectures are so amazing and insightful! She is very lenient and understanding as long as you communicate and show up for classes. One of the best teachers I've encountered at Tenn State!!!
I want other students to know that she is very patient and nice, has a good sense a humor, and values students' feelings.
If you come to class early and you engage and participate you'll be fine. This professor will help you if you ask for it. she ight
A lot of the work is done in class, so you can't miss a class... and she will message you if you do.
i loved her and her class! she was understanding, caring, and bubbly. great energy. does require you to be in class though.
Vey nice Professor. All you Have to do to pass this class is to make sure you are on time and do all the work she give you.
Ms. Hanson is wonderful Professor. She is very caring and understanding. I would recommend this class to anyone taking English 1 and 2. attendance it mandatory so if your not there you'll miss important information. most of the work is done in class so if you don't like showing up to class, this isn't the class for you.
Ms. Jessica Hanson is one of the bet English teachers I've had. She treats her students as humans and as we do her. Great class discussions and free to speak your mind, no matter what it is. This is a class I always make sure I come to. She has all respect and gives respect to her students. 10/10
This is the best professor/teacher/educator/mentor that I have ever been had in my entire 14 years of being a student. She actually cares about the students, she isn't one who will just show up to class just to get her job done. Ms. Hanson isn't paid enough, and TSU is in need of more professors like her.
She is so sweet and amazing, she's like a little auntie and she's so caring and you can tell she genuinely does care for all of her students. One of the best professors I've had, I wish I could have her every semester.
Honestly, just go to class and participate and you will pass. she is usually very understanding if you will be late, but don't become a repeat offender because she won't be a lenient. other than that great class, great professor.
Good professor attendance mandatory!
