She's an ok teacher. She puts a lot of emphasis on the quizzes, so take your time and read the chapter. She also puts a lot of weight on your papers. She makes you work for your grade.
very helpful
She is a great teacher. She makes class fun and interesting. She goes out of her way to proof papers in her office before they are due. Sac needs more teachers with a fresh approach. Dr Gold makes teaching fun, not a death sentence.
Dr. Gold really is a great teacher. She's nice, out-going, and up to date. Her classes are fun and interesting. The readings and discussions in class really makes you think. But her grading on essays is pretty tough. Just try hard cause she's awesome!
Jill is a great teacher who manages to make literatue fun and interesting. i would definately take her if she was teaching any other courses that i needed. and she was right, I woun't sell the book back! :)
SHE GIVE US SOME QUIZES TO DO IN CLASS, AND THE GREAT PART OF WRITING IS NOT IN CLASS. SHE TALKS VERY FUNNY AND CLEARLY. ALSO, SHE GRADES OUR PAPER VERY FAIRLY.
Ms. Gold is a really SUPER teacher. I thought English 1B would be a class to try to get through as soon as possible, but she really made it worth the time. I would actually take it again. (Never thought I'd say that) Also, the "Hamlet" movie was
She is so nice and says clearly. She likes helping you whenever. Talk to her, she is so funny.
She was the best teacher I have ever had. She was very helpful and clear. She is a very funny lady. She helped me learn how to write better and she makes sure that everyone understands the information. She reviews alot,and is ready to help.

She has a PhD. and she doesn't let you forget it. When she askes for your opinion then responds with "you are wrong" your desire to contribute in class greatly diminishes. I felt I could never be 'Wright' in her eyes. Since when are solicited opinions wrong?
I had her class 8AM! but she totally woke me up because she's so enthusiastic with her classes!!! i really recommend her... grades pretty easy, just make sure you do the readings... it's a sinch! She's one of the greatest teachers!!!
The class were full in the beginning of the class, by the end there were only 8 people. Decide for yourself. She got a phD in English, so gotta watch out!

She is one of those teachers thats on a power trip and expects everyone to be at her level!! She comes off at being nice, yet is undoubtebly one of the rudest people you'll come across once you require a little help. She admits to being a hard grader and makes no appoligies for it.. so you decide.
she is cool...
she is strict. if you take her study study study...and get help
4 Word. Don't Take Her Class
She is so easy to understand. I am horrible at English and she taught me so much. She claims to be a hard grader but as long as you do your work you get a good grade. The first day she was loud pushey, but thats just to scare you off... after that she is awesome!!! SO MUCH ENERGY! Great teacher!
Shes a really outgoing teacher, and tries to make the class as fun as possible.Her quizzes are easy, as long as you do the work. Shes very clear of what she teaches and expects the best from you. Good teacher.

Dr. Jill is a very smart woman. She's very energetic...likes to talk and share stories. Sometimes a potty mouth...which is fun. She's super nice and helpful. Just don't be late to her class. She has perfectly straight teeth...beautiful smile
MADE ME LOVE GRAMMER! very helpful.. and allowed me to excel in my writing and grammer skills.. awesome teacher and cute personality!
she doesn't change topics til students have them clear.
Good teacher. A few papers and lots of stories, but overall she makes it fun and helps a lot if your having trouble. She edits your paper in her office before you have to turn it in, if you want...so you get a better grade. Very funny and outgoing. Take her...no regrets here.
OMG! Dr. Jill is amazing. She is intelligent, smart and beautiful. Her class is challenging and it made me a better writer. I recommend taking her for ANYTHING, she is wonderful.
she is helpful yet grades xtremly HARD!!!!
Good teacher very intrested in helping her students, gives you essays but lets you use her office hours & will help out! She really help me understand english better. i recomend her!!!!!
Dr. Gold Wright is a very very intelligent person. She is enthusiastic, energetic, and kind to her students ideas. She knows A LOT about literature and the history behind it. If you plan on taking her, prepare for three 5- 7 pages of interpreting literature such as Shakespeare. However, I do reccomend her to all students.

Dr. Gold-Wright is a very challenging teacher. Her teachings will definately move you up to the next level of English. She has an awesome way of putting challenging topics into a simple format. If you are looking to learn something new, and become a better writer, she is the teacher!
She s an Excellent professor, I really relt i awas learning something, I really looked forward to her comments, she keeps you interested with her teaching style, you just got to do the work, and ask questions if you don't understand, she will help you!
was not helpful during office hours and was rudely sarcastic
interesting lectures, great teacher. 1-2 pop quizzes, 3-4 essays ea 5-7pgs. she'll read your drafts & help u. overall, i enjoyed this class.
she loves to help people. she is nice and is always smiling. she wont get upset if you ask the same questions over and over, she is actually happy. she loves it when students ask her questions. she tries her best to teach the class. and if we do not understand, she finds alternative ways to explain the same subject to us.
She demands a lot out of her students but hey it's college, recognize!!! She does expect a lot out of you but she offers the time and help needed to make sure you reach her expectations. She also makes the class super interesting! Would recommend her in a heartbeat.
The best engligh teacher I have ever had! I never ever liked english becuase of the boring teachers I've had but she isn't like them. She would tap dance, sing, act, sit on top of the table. Really really great lady! Plus I learned a lot. Make sure you do your work and not be late because all though she is cool she is VERY proffesional!
I love her!! She's one of my favorite professors i've had so far...if u really want to learn, TAKE HER CLASS!!!!
Read all the stories and poems completly and also she hits Hamlet hard... watch out for the research paper on Hamlet.
This is my second time taking her for a different class, great teacher, great personality, and you will always learn something in her class. She is a hard grader but its worth it! Very entertaining!
She is the best English Teach in the world. She is so much fun, but watch out, she grades really hard. I did all my assignments and got all A's on the tests, C's and D's on the essays. I ended up with a D. But She is the only teacher i would want to go to class. She's the best.
if u wanna learn, take her. she's really passionate about literature. she'll make it clear, so u'll understand. really active n not boring. but, u really have to write a perfect essay to get an A. i ended up with a B though. can't wait to see her in 1B.
She's great! Is extremely precise with MLA formatting.
Dr. Jill is a great teacher. Very helpfull, interesting, and has an extremely clear lecture. Funny...WILL WAKE YOU UP!! Sometimes pulls away from topic with interesting conversations but then jumps right back into lectures.Do all work,STUDY, and you will learn alot and get the grade you want.
High recommended! Great teacher.
Dr. Gold Wright is probably the best teacher I've had by far in Mt. Sac. She is extremely helpful and very passionate about her job; she left me with a good impact with school and learning and I enjoyed my time being in her class. She is funny, classy, and very supportive. EVERYONE TAKE HER!
Professor Gold Wright has absolutely changed my life for the better! She is such a great teacher! You use the textbook alot for reading at the first half of the semester, but then not so much. As far as hotness is concerned, if she was younger and single, i'd ask her out! Her class is NOT easy and it requires hard work, but it is worth while :)
I took her this summer. It was HARD but also FUN and completely worth it. She will teach you, and you'll want to learn. Your writing will improve! She gives you lot of feedback on essays so that you get better! It was a crazy six weeks for me! I suggest taking her during a 16-week semester, but if you must, then do the intersession. Challenge yourself!!
she is a great teacher! i loved her! she inspired me and i liked english after i left her class and i totally understood her class.she teaches very well! it wasnt boring and it was fun! trust me take her class you will love it and its easy!
Great teacher!!! She is very easy to understand and very helpful! I learned a lot in this class!!...and please don't be gramatically incorrect =)
most amazing teacher I have ever had. She is so fun, down to earth and everything about her and the way she teaches makes the class so intersting. Makes you look forward to go to class all the time! That is rare too!
She is an amazing professor. Her class was fun and very easy to follow. She explains eveything so well, and that made all the difference to me because I was taught badly in the past, but all those habits were broken in her class. I loved her class. I always looked forward to going. I recommend her 100%.
very helpfull teacher wonderfull job teaching.. explains in detail.. very fun to be around with.. like her material and the way it's presented..
HEHE!She is a wonderful professor.She loves to teach and she is very good at it. I recommend her for anyone. She will make your time at Mt. SAC better. I told her i was going to rate her! lol
She is probably my favorite teacher! She really has a passion for what she does. I impressed and surprised myself with the essays I wrote in her class. She is an amazing teacher. It wasn't my easiest A but it can be done. You really just have to work hard and READ the stories and peoms. Her class is worth it!!
CooL teacher. She's always in a good mood, and has a wonderful way of describing things. She is always there for you if you want her help. Homework is light, and essays are pretty simple. There is a midterm, and a final. Very simple, you'll leave the class feeling smarter!!!
She's really GOOD!!
She handed out her own text book in class which was great so I didn't need to buy one. Very clear and engaging, fun class.
One of the best teachers I ever had.
One of the best teachers at Mt. SAC! She is a real teacher! She has wonderful ways of teaching. She is strict on plagiarism, as so many other english teachers. So dont do it ! Other than that she's amazing! Highly recommended!
She does give you her own book! She is amazing! I now write perfect papers :) She has drastically changed my writing I improved so much in the first 3 weeks! If you really really want to learn how to write you must take best teacher I have had by far!
Jill is by far the most best prof I have came across on this campus. She is so GOOD at what she does very clear on everything. taking her class improved my writing so so so much I cant thank her enough. If you really want to better you writing TAKE HER U WONT BE SORRY!! THANK YOU JILL!!WE NEED MORE PROF LIKE YOU
Hands down the BEST English teacher I have ever had! Dr. J is a tough teacher, but cares about her students. She is very hands on and helpful.there is a lot of classroom participation. She wants you to succeed in her class. She is very down to earth and real. I loved going to her class and can't wait to take another English course with her.

She is very nice and funny I was never bored in her class do not be late on the days you take a quiz or test. There is no required textbook for her class she has her own that she gives to the students for free! I would love to take her again.
very good professor but didnt want to help me she perfered talking about her children or to the guys in the class always bragging about her PhD and how her name started with ((DR.)) strongly dislike
Dr. Gold Wright is the most awesome professor on planet earth. She is fair,caring,hands on,and makes herself available to those who want the help. You want to be well versed in English than take her. I learned a life time in one semester with her. I no longer write chicken scrathes for essays! Thank You Professor Gold Wright! LOVE YOU!!
I used to hate writing essays, but Dr. J turned me into a writer! She is very clear, direct, and fun. Although I am not a morning person, her enthusiasm woke me up! Her class was worth waking up at 6:00 a.m. This class is not easy; however, she will help you improve your writing skills as well as how to apply English to life. Take her!
Great teacher, she wants the best out of her students
Dr.J is awesome. Her teaching is very clear and if you don't understand something she will go over it until you get it. Her class is challenging but she helps you do better. I've learned to love enlish because of her. Great teacher!!
Dr. J is a great English teacher! She wants her students to pass and even makes her own textbook for the students(free). Tells a lot of exciting stories and makes reading Catcher in the Rye fun. DEF TAKE HER
Dr.Jill is the best English professor at matsac. she's really clear and makes the students understand all the materials. You can ask any questions when ever u want. Also she's really helpful u can always visit her office hours.
She is the best professor ever! I truly recommend because she is dedicated to help anyone learn the basics of English. She is helpful when it comes to teaching, and she cracks jokes. I recommend taking her.
good professor. give students textbook.
Tests are though and lot's of writing required, no multiple choice. Though grader on quizzes. Class requires a LOT of reading.
This is a team taught class, but she's a really great teacher. She is very funny and very helpful to students. There are quizzes, essays, projects, and a final in this class, make sure you write good essays and you'll pass! Highly recommend taking her!!!!
very helpful. She wants you to pass and explains the material very clearly!
Dr. Jill Gold Wright is my favorite English Professor! I love her class bc she gives really good feedback when she returns papers, she is extremely clear in every aspect, and she grades fair. I learned what I needed to learn in her class; I would definitely take it again. And no need to buy a textbook, she provides one for you completely free.
Dr. J was one of the best professors I have ever had. I highly recommend her for any literature class since her Ph.D was in Lit and her specialty is Shakespeare. She will move you to love poetry and plays and she is full of positive energy. She expects a lot from her students, but she is more than willing to provide outside help. I HIGHLY recommend
Winter class. English has never been my cup of tea. I have to say that Mrs. J made this class an amazing experience! She wants you to learn and not be there to just warm up the seat, if you have to ask 20 times for you to get it? She will explain it 20 different ways, I would of loved to have her in my HS years eng would of been so much easier.
Great teacher, she made me a better writer. She wants all her students to become better writers. Her lectures are amazing. Her grading criteria is straight to the point. Over the winter break, we had a lot of homework, but it was manageable. She tells you that the 1st day though. I would take her again. We also had a TC, she was helpful too.
This professor is amazing! She is hand down the best professor I ever had and ever will have. She is very clear on what she expects from you, she is hilarious so you pay attention more in her lectures. She is a fair grader and gives a lot of quizzes but they are really simple as long as you know what the class is doing. Take her she is AMAZING!!!!!
I loved this class and wish i could take it again or something like it! You will have to visit a museum to write a paper on a piece of art. Kind of hard to get a personal connection with a professor because it's 3 professors in one lecture hall.
Dr. Jill is by far my favorite English professor. She is so dedicated and passionate about literature and makes class really fun. She is very helpful and never makes you feel bad about your grade, instead she encourages you to do better. I loved that she does not slam you with a lot of work but is rather understanding and fair with the workload.
she was so disrespectful to my friend.. She asked my friend why are u in this class anyways. (she said because I want to learn). Half of the student didn't have the book because they order it on Amazon and she kicked half of the class out and fail the quiz because the people didn't have the book. only 10 out of 30 students were in here class.
Jill was friggin amazing! All of these people must be slackers because my entire class thought she was hilarious. This was also a winter intersession and she still didn't give us work we could not handle. She is extremely passionate about literature and it shows in her teaching. She is by far the most inspiring teacher I have encountered at Mt. Sac
She is a very awesome professor. she is clear and straightforward with the concept she teaches. I would definitely take her again! (I took her for winter session)
Jill is a great teacher; she tells very motivational speeches. Jill is a tough grader, but she is always welling to help her students to past her class. Take her if you want to become a great writer.
Lectures the whole class, provides you with a workbook, only thing you need is a reading book and a dictionary. Very energetic kinda too energetic if youre taking her for a morning class. Occasionally late, a lot of note taking!! Not many essays papers more quizzes. Willing to help you when you need it and can definitely change your writing around
I think she's a good teacher because she knows her stuff;She teaches you the basic and then leads to the hard lectures. If you don't know how to write then she is the professor for you.
she is a great professor. she explains herself very clearly and makes it easy to understand every lesson taught.
Dr Jill was an amazing teacher, however, if you don't do the work (reading, quizzes, and essays) you will not pass. She is straight forward, fair, and very willing to help. I really enjoyed her class and recommend her highly.
Before class, I would not look while crossing the street hoping I would get ran over so I don't have to attend her class. The class started with 30 students and dropped to 10. She talks about her life for one hour and the last 30min gives out the assignment. If asked for help with essays her response was, "looks like you didn't do enough research."
The class focuses on writing essays. She lectures on the process (brainstorming, body pts, word choice) and the structure of writing (organization, MLA). You'll have a hard time if you don't understand the assigned stories, which you read for homework. You'll do fine if you have a strong argument and support it well.
Has nothing to say and nothing to teach you. It's a class you take to get the credit, otherwise don't bother. Her feedback isn't worth anything Her lectures are basically empty and sometimes hysterical. She's a time waster who will assign you bad books you'll never hear about again just because she likes them personally.
Dr. Gold wright was a kind professor but she definitely made you work for your grade with essays, but also gave back good feedback. Make sure to read the book she assigns to you since she will give out quizzes about the chapters that we had to read on our own. For papers do not procrastinate on them!
She's one of the best professors I've had. My writing had improved so much after taking her class. She really cares about each student and is always there to guide students and help out. You have to attend each class to succeed, and put in the effort. I especially enjoyed the discussions we had in class. I definitely recommend taking her.
Professor J is the best English teacher I have ever had. She make class enjoyable with all of the many discussions that we had, while challenging all of the students to do there best. # best professor ever #come ready to work
she is very friendly, understandable and treats us like her kids. Gives amazing feedbacks on papers. easy class, easy essays, and easy A Would definitely recommend her to anyone! 2x time a week class. Trust you won't regret it.
Mrs. Jill Gold Wright is a amazing teacher, and she is very sweet and caring with her student. She give lot of good feedback. She was helpful to me on doing and turning in my assignments I recommend going to her office hours she will let you know is good and bad about the assignment before turning it in. Thank you so much professor.
Dr. J is very passionate about literature and knows her stuff. Beware if you are taking this course over winter/summer; there are essays every week and A LOT of reading. If you're an English major, don't take two essay-heavy classes during intersession unless you can handle multiple essays a week. She gives a lot of feedback to help you to improve.
Dr. Gold Wright is inspirational and gives fantastic feedback on your work. Although she is tough on grading, she enables students to do better on future papers as long as they recognize the given feedback. She is also very funny and her jokes add a lot to the class.
WOW. Great experience. Mrs. Gold Wright is a fair and supportive professor. I found her to be funny, deep, and intellectual. Be prepared to utilize your critical thinking skills. Do not be a bore and engage in her class, ASK QUESTIONS, it is rewarding and worth it. Too bad she doesn't teach other subjects.
Dr. Goldwright was by far my favorite professor!! She is very helpful and explains things clearly and thoroughly. 10/10 experience. I 100% recommend her.
Great college class experience. Funny, kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I wish she taught every subject.
She's a very kind teacher who gives feedback however she is a very tough grader. Discussion posts rarely have a prompt so it can be difficult to know what to write about to receive full credit. If you are a strong writer and have access to the writing center on campus, I would recommend her.
Dr. Gold Wright is a tough but fair grader. Her lectures are engaging, and she provides valuable feedback to help you improve. Utilize unstuck ai and the campus writing center for a smooth class experience.
Dr. Gold Wright seemed cool in the beginning. As time went on she became hard to tolerate because she has an unpleasant attitude. Her grading also isn't the best since she doesn't go by a rubric but says "I think this deserves a _" which opens the door for favoritism. She good at pushing you and let's you know her class will NOT be easy.
"Dr". Gold Wright is a BlTCH.
