she is a great teacher with interesting topics. There is alot of group work and alot of writing but it is deffinately worth it. She makes the class fun to sit through.
Quigley is perhaps the best teacher on the English department at DeAnza College. She has a passion for teaching and getting to know her students. She has helped me reach my maximum potential with critical thinking and has motivated me tremendously.
Very nice.
Ya, she is hot.
She is a great teacher to work with. she is the person if you wanna learn some English. She is really sweet and considerate. Take her class.
very sweet and nice, always willing to help you, great class discussions
she is very personable and engaing in er classes
Hi guys, she is really cool and helpful. I won't say she is a hard grading; she grades you fairly to your level, so that you know how to correct your writing. I recommend her to you.
Mrs.Quigley is soooo fun. So far, she's my best teacher(not only English, but every department.) Before entering her class, I barely know how to write an essay; but now, I know what to do with it. Thanx to her! All students love her! and so am I. ^_^
I liked her class, but her workload was alittle much for me. I dropped out of her class 2 weeks into it. She's nice and everything, but her teaching style is kind of boring. There are better English teachers out there to take.
Great teacher! She made the class interesting. If you show up everyday and pay attention you'll get a good grade.
SHE IS SOOOO HOT!!! Who cares about her teaching style, she is worth coming to class everyday.
Very nice teacher! Essays are not too easy and not too hard. Would recommend.
Wanna learn english AND have fun,then take her.She is really nice and really exotic teaching style.Difficult to get an A but she will help you in any way to get it.she is open to extra credit to make up an A.and is very interesting person to talk to.
She came to teach in ELIT 10 in one class section. She is so hot
Shes hot
she's hot and all but class wasn't that great. i ended up with a B but she wants you to do everything criticially and puts too much emphasis on thinking analytically. she learns everyones name but she also plays favorites and she's also a "feminist&q
I think she is the prettiest teacher in De Anza!! Wanna go to school everyday!! Active learning~ and easy PaSS if you do all your homework~!! Lotz of HoMeworK~ But can LearN!! Luv her so mucH!!
She is pretty and clever. She is clear and enthusiasm on what she is teaching. She is very helpful and motivates you to learn. A lot of reading, but manageable. A really good teacher for ESL students if you want to learn.
She is absolutely amasing. If you like using your head you will love her class. If you don't like using your head or dont know how - she'll help you through it. As long as you participate and do your homework she'll be very supportive. She's the best!
if you are serious in improving your writting skills and if you want a decent grader, she's your choice. very clear and very helpfull. not a easy A but a reasonable A.
The class is cool, so is she. 4 novels, but not all good. Too much poetry, some hard to read. More reading load but less time for it on the final part. Very helpful on essays if you ask. Overall a good class. I recommend it.
Very dynamic, smart, real and helpful. Really wants you to succeed! I especially liked her wittiness and enthusiasm. Time goes by quick with fun. I am really impresssed by her. I highly recommend her.
She's awesome!!! She's so smart and nice.
Alot of reading. Grades pretty difficult. If you can work hard, shouldn't be too bad. We did 4 novels in the quarter, plus a lot of poems... :-/ Shes pretty cute though...
Quigley's sincerity and enthusiam brings a freshness to the classroom that most teachers do not possess. She is opinionated but maintains an open-mind that encourages participation. If you like to stimulate your brain, this is the class for you.
Quigley is honestly one of the best English teacher's I've ever had. She's extremely helpful, has an awesome attitude, knows so much about what she's talkinga about and totally wants us to think about things ourselves. she's also amazingly beautiful (=
She has got to be the best teacher that i have ever taken ever. She is so nice, and helpful that it makes the other teachers look like ****s. I highly recommend her class because she is the only teacher that made me actually want to learn. Andis pretty
She is so nice and very pretty. A very challenging class -- 6 novels in 6 weeks + essays + projects + quote analyses. But she is a REALLY good teacher. Her class was painstaking, but it was worth it.
Great Teacher, gave me some of the first A's I ever got on an essay which motivated me to try harder with writing. She's also pretty good looking. Let me dose in class as she understood I was working 40 hours a week. Its to bad shes In England right now. She's also open minded and wont push agendas.
Enjoyed the class very much. She is very good at starting discussion, and by the end of the class everyone liked Hemingway. Six novels in 6 weeks is tough, but worth it. Pushes and encourages students to do well, gets results. Not an easy A.
you will learn in her class. participation is key, speak up! if you need clarity in the readings, go to her, she is really helpful. the classes i took with quigley was really fun! ENJOY! ^-^
The perfect teacher to have. She teaches you to have a strong foundation when writing essays. She is a beatiful woman who has a very loving laugh and smile. I always wanted to do my best for her. She always brightened my day because of her great presence. She only wants you to succeed and do well.

She's intimidating at first glance but I have come to regard her with much respect. Ms. Quigley brings out the best in everyone by making you think outside the box. Her class is not only fun but creative. Just go to her for suggestions on the essays and participation is the key to get an "A".
She is a great and helpful teacher^^
at first taking this class made me nervous. I was not expecting a teacher as kind, helpful, and interested in whether i understood the class work. She is undoubtedly the best english teacher i've had. she is also extremely attractive.
Jill is one of the best teachers i've had at DeAnza. Her class is really interesting and fun, she makes you want to write & helps you if you're stuck. Always available if you have questions, at her office, or email. She wants you to succeed & you'll become a better writer no doubt. Take the class!
Absolutely loved her. Was absent quite a bit and still managed to get an A, excellent and helpful teacher. I'd recommend her for any englisht lit. she's teaching that you may need.
Jill's a fantastic teacher who can make even Faulkner halfway near enjoyable. Discussions are engaging, the workload is somewhat hard but certainly worth it. Best class I've had yet at De Anza. She's a staunchly liberal feminist but open to debate--again, quite lively discussions. Wonderful woman.
She was an awesome teacher. Her passion for literature really made class enjoyable. The work was a bit much, but definitely worth it. Jill has to be one of my favorite teachers here.
Jill is my favorite professor at DeAnza. She is very helpful and cares if you understand things or not.She's always available when you need her and not to mention very understanding.Unlike many other professors here at DeAnza, she reaches out to her students and makes learning more enjoyable.TAKEHER
The most gorgeous and pretty lady..what I nice smile and personality that she has,gosh I miss her class.It's been a while but I really-really miss to be on her class again. I should take some english classes with her again.she helps me alot and improves my english.Just take her class,you'll like her
She is great. And she is really take care of the ESL student. If you are ESL student, I strongly recommond her.
She is one of the best teachers I have ever had, she loves to talk and there are so many class discussions so the class is never boring. To her, everything is sexualized haha... what can I say, shes a great teacher, truly helpful, she cares for her students, and she loves teaching her subjects. Take her, you will love her too!!
The class is so fun to be with. She is so nice and helpful and she is not mean at all. She always tries her best to show her students on how to improve the essay. The class requires some work but it is a really good class to be with. I can't wait to take her class again soon.
She is a very easy going, laid back teacher. She gives off a good vibe. Easy atmosphere. Not much homework. Very helpful when it comes to writing successful essays. Adds tons of imput. Outstanding overall.
I loved her so much. She is very good looking and cute. This motivated me to go everyday to class and look my best for her. In addition, listen to watch she has to say. She got this very attractive presence about her which make you really want to try hard to please her in class. Best teacher ever.
She rocks. You'll learn a lot and have fun doing it.

Very very hot
She is one of the best english teachers I have ever had in my life. I look foward to her class everyday. She has a loving personality and we're always laughing and having fun in her class, and she goes along with you. She takes the time to help u on your work and essays whenever you need it and makes sure you really understand the material
She's very passionate about her work and about the literature we study. She knows the subject well and wants her students to succeed. She's one of the best teachers I've had. However, she seems to force her personal political opinions and agenda a little too much in the classroom. Not all assignments and test questions are related to the material.
Very friendly and bubbly teacher. Helps out the students when in need. Makes going to class fun! Work is moderate and actually relates to society so the work is always interesting. Best English teacher I've had my whole school life!
Really cool teacher, very understanding, and she's always available if you need help, I didn't, I wish I had
this class was the best class i had all quarter! Everything we learned was very usefull and the teacher was alot of fun to be around, she makes it fun to be in her class.
She requires you to annotate majority of the material to the full extent. Other then that she is a great teacher who makes you expand your mind. Beware she does assign a lot of reading that can be hard to keep up with if your a slow pace reader.
She is a great teacher. She is nice and very helpful.
This class is the bomb. Quigley has such a passion for the stuff that she teaches and discusses in class that enjoying it and being successful in it is a very easy thing. Very helpful and open to students in trying to understand the content. Plus, she's adorable! Def. the most attractive teacher I've had.
she's good. give grade not very strictly, explains everything very clearly!
She's an awesome teacher, just do the reading and you'll do fine. Her tests are easy, she explains everything and she's cute too.

Super smart and full of passion. Really makes you think about literature and life. Total feminist, but total hottie. Love her!!!!!!
Prof. Quigley is such an awesome teacher. She is very clear and helpful. She gets you to think about what you read. Do all the work and reading and you'll definately do great. Only problem... lack of happy endings! Haha. But that's literature.
I've taken Jill twice now, and I have to say that her classes are amazing. She cares immensely about what she teaches, and wants you to care, too. She chooses great books. And, as an added bonus, she's one of the coolest human beings I know. (And if she reads this, she probably already knows who this is. Hey, Jill! Love you!) So- take her class!

She is only the second teacher in my long career at DA who I have intentionally attempted to take for a second time. I would pretty much take any class she taught, because I learnt a lot and had a lot of fun. - Perhaps best is she let us disagree with her - and she seemed to like it. It's awful that she isn't teaching full unit classes this term
Her classes are great!!!! Lots of information, but also a lot of class discussions. Be prepared to work if you take her class, but you'll have fun and laugh a lot!!!!
super extra hot
she is totally helpful.
it's like she just turns into an eager little girl talking about ponies but those ponies are books and short stories. I loved her selections for short stories and novels we had to read. there really is no other english teacher like her. :-)
Her class was probably the funnest I was ever in. You have got to read though! She will make you talk. She is beyond sexy too! You will not be sorry to take her class...
I loved this class. The discussions are very helpful. Prepare to be randomly called on in class, but this isn't a bad thing since Jill is interested in what her students have to say. She makes herself available outside of class and the reading selections are thought provoking and interesting. I recommend this class whether you like english or not.
Such an AMAZING professor. She creates such an engaging, welcoming classroom environment; pushes us (as a class!) to analyze material better and better, respects students. I aspire to be like her. Only drawback is, her feedback tends to be only of positive things, not suggestions for improvement. Take her! She does good for your soul!
Great Teacher! Loved her class. Super hard, but made learning fun. Will definitely take her again
The most prettiest teacher at De Anza. Nice and helpful,too. The class is a bit boring and a lot of group work. She is a hard grader, too.
Great teacher and great sense of humor! I admit, her class is challenging but she is always there to help! Not much homework, mostly essays. Very fun class, if you are up to a challenge but want to have fun at the same time, Jill is the way to go!
BEAUTIFUL!!! Loved her class...best teacher in DeAnza.VERY helpful.thanks Jill,I learned alot.
The nicest teacher I've had at De Anza. She is very helpful to everyone. She will teach you how to become a better writer. I learned a great deal from her. Thanks Jill! Highly recommended teacher.
Really nice teacher. She's able to keep discussions interesting and is open to anything you want to say. Very nice and extremely helpful. I didn't speak up much in class, but she's very encouraging and made me feel really good about my writing. She's also the most attractive teacher I've ever had. But more importantly, she's a great teacher.
This teacher is straight up the best english teacher (maybe even teacher- period)you'll ever have. She helped me believe in myself as a writer (:D). She is incredibly inspirational, insightful, and inspiring. And her material rocks too. Take her class. You'll love it
Really nice and young professor, open-minded and encouraging, I'm going to take her with every English classes i needed. She's also extremely clear on the materials, not much work.
you would be stupid not to take a class with her. first off, she should be proud to be such an amazing teacher, and the students should feel privileged to be learning from her. Take her classes. You will never regret it.
She is one of the best professors I ever had! Her teachings are really useful and interesting, which made her class never bored! I even start to like english after taking her class! Not much work, but she is really helpful and sweet, which I like her a lot! If possible, I would definitely take her class again! Highly recommend! =]
The nicest teacher I've ever had. Always takes the perspectives of the students as she does all the reading she assigns. She tries to make lectures as enjoyable as possible and I must admit, I tried dropping this class, however, it was a pleasure taking it with her because of her great personality.
The nicest and most prettiest teacher in the world! She is extremely passionate about all forms of literature, really considerate of everyone in her class, willing to listen to others? thoughts, opinions, and ideas about readings, and teaches different ways on how to improve writing in order to make it more interesting. The best English class ever!
One of the best teachers in De Anza. I think she grades super easy but everyone around me got low scores on their essays in the class so maybe she's not that easy after all. Haha. I definitely recommend taking her, you will learn a lot and on the plus side shes hot as well.
awesome!!
Best literate teacher at De Anza. She is extremely nice and helpful. She is obviously passionate about the subject and does a wonderful job helping her students to feel the same enthusiam she has. She has a very structured format. Lots of reading but great discussion in class to clarify all the reading you cover.
Simply wonderful! The only teacher I would actually take the time to tell others how great she is. She is very amiable and easy to talk to! She also makes you feel good about your writing and yourself! SIMPLY WONDERFUL. If you get the chance to take a class of her's do so.
Jill is one of the most dedicated and passionate teachers I've ever had. She loves the subject she is teaching and she respects everyone's opinion. We should have more teachers like her! I would seriously recommend her for any class. However don't take this class if you are looking for an easy A. There is a lot of reading. She means to educate! :)
Prof. Quigley makes this a great class to take. She has an incredible passion for literature that you can see on her face when she melts against the wall describing a poet or author she enjoys. You will be able to tell she loves her work and enjoys every minute of it. She's hip, and totes cute.
I absolutely love this teacher and I am positive that everyone else does too. She really cares about your progress in writing and wants to help you succeed. Jill uses interesting topics to keep students engaged, so dont even hesitate to take her!!
Jill is one of the most amazing teachers at De Anza, as well as a wonderful person! She is extremely supportive and encouraging. I seriously wish the class lasted longer than three months! Thanks for everything Jill!
She is super enthusiastic about the books we read and provides you with insightful and smart analysis. Even if you dont understand the books she helps clarify everything in class. She is a very fair grader.And she gives you soooo much freedom with your writting. I absolutely LOVE HER and she's helllla pretty too ^^
She's like your mother, but only if your mother is really smart and looks like a Bond girl.
Best professor ever!
Fantastic! She's one of my favorite teachers and such a wonderful person(: So helpful I wish I could take her for every writing class!
Great professor. She's so enthusiastic about class that it is practically impossible to doze off. She expects you to be able to go over the reading in class so it is necessary to read. There is very minimal homework. SHE'S ALSO CUTE! Great smile with a very attractive personality.
Amazing inspiring individual please take her. She's forgiving but challenging. She has been more than a teacher. She's completely there for her students. I have learned more from her then I did 4 years in highschool.
She is great prof I have so far. She is like mother than teacher. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Also, she is SUPER HOT too.
she is the best teacher you could ever take at deAnza . she has taught so much in so little time. you can be anymore stupid then not to take her. she is the most easiest understandable and wonderful teacher toy can take . she is also understanding and caring for her students and she gots a goofy side to her.
Is it wrong to say I love her? Because I do! Jill might be the nicest teacher that you can find at De Anza College. She's helpful and acts like a mother-child with her students. Easy pass. Take her! She can be a super model. Believe me she's really hot!
Hottest teacher in de anza. Very helpful, nice teacher. Interesting class
Jill is simply the BEST!! She is understanding,fun and makes the class so relatable TO YOU that you even forget that your in there for that long!! I love her class so much and i am planning to take her for 1B next fall!! I highly reccomend her!! Take HER!!!
She's great! You can tell how passionate she is at teaching by bringing joy to her students. She's a kind of teacher you will never forget in your life. Take her, you won't regret it.
Kind like a mother. Smart like a scientist. Tolerant like the high sky. Polite like an angel. Bright like a jewel. Ms. Quigley is a great professor!
Must take her otherwise you'll be regretted. She is awesome. Easy A if you really engage in classwork and reading assignments. She allows you to revise every single paper. Quizzes are piece of cake. She will make you falling in love with class.
I love this teacher! she's the best teacher you can take, because she's knows how to teach and have fun at the same time. She also knows how to dress nice. Everything is really easy. Jill will put a great impact in my life in a just a couple days. She has a strong personality and is very intelligent. I would take her class again and again.
Great teacher but such a hard grader on essays! Probably because it's an honors class..
Jill is a really good professor. She makes it her mission that everyone passes. She does give a lot of reading, but overall they are not bad readings. Overall fun class and I wouldnt mind taking her again if I needed another EWRT class.
She is so awesome!! Really smart and beautiful! I love her interest in hearing everyone's opinion in the class. She never makes you feel dumb and she really helps understand things. Best professor I have had.
Taking her class is such an experience I'd never forget :) Learned a lot, but sacrificed even more (foreign language speaker's POV). still,I enjoys all the moments in class. She makes ppl get involved and listens to whatever you wanna say, never makes you feel isolated.
Jill is not only an amazing teacher, but also an amazing human being. She genuinely cares about the success of her students and goes above and beyond to help every one of them. The class is not easy and there is a lot of reading, but if you keep up and try your best you get a lot out of her class. Jill is by far one of the best teachers at De Anza.
She is a very great teacher! i really recommend ever one to take her class,she's very clear with what she wants and she tries her best for you to understand the class also the homework thats given to you.
The most amazing person I have ever met, she inspires you to be the best that you can be and ever since my first class with her I have gotten so far in life. She is amazing !!!
I love Jill! Her classes are always great. She's super helpful if you ever need clarification and she's very understanding about schedule conflicts. I would definitely recommend taking her for any class!
Jill is one of the BEST professors I've had in my college career. She is sweet, INTELLIGENT, and really cares about her students. She really knows her stuff! Take Women in Literature to hear her interesting POV on various topics. Easy grader, warm personality, and a love for teaching. Take a class with her!
Jill is awesome, but her class was easy compared to other English courses I've taken at De Anza. I felt that I wasn't 100% prepared for EWRT 1B when I left her class.
JILL QUIGLEY IS AMAZING. If you are interested, TAKE IT. I love her to death. I was devastated when I found out I had to wait another quarter till I could take her again. She is the type of teacher you look forward to talking to. I participate during lectures and read the books. No homework, just in class discussions. I suggest showing up to class.
she knows how to teach, inspire, and uplift. SHE is the BEST Teacher in the world, because she is thought provoking, kind, and sees potential in everyone.
Quigley is the best. She's hella funny, smart, and beautiful. I learned so much about writing and feminist literature. This class will inspire you.
Jill is truly one of the best teachers that I have encountered at De Anza. Whether you're taking her class for GE or it applies to your major you will get a really good learning experience out of her class. The work load isn't that tough. If you don't read what's assigned it's not the end of the world, but you will have more to review for the final
Phenomenal teacher! Took her for summer 2015, and the only homework ever is really to read your books and be ready for discussion. Doing well on the exams and participating are key to an A. I did well on exams but didnt speak as much, hence the -. She gives deep, insightful lectures and makes the books understandable. Loved this class; worth taking
I took Jill's class during Winter '15, and I can only say that she is among by far the BEST teacher I've ever taken. She really helps you excel, and also help you understand more about the subject even if you never intended to do so. She is very beautiful and intelligent. During the first day of class, she already made it feel really comfortable.
Yes, Jill is smart and beautiful and really cares about her students but she's also HILARIOUS! You will lol in her class and learn at the same time.
Definitely the sweetest teacher ever, full of intelligence and so pretty! She really cares about her students and goes out of her way to make sure they all excel. Her essays are easy and straightforward, and the books she assigns are so fun to read. There isn't a lot of reading either, its just a few books and an essay prompt after.
I took her class in 2016 winter quarter. Jill is just amazing teacher! love her class! we do some discussion about the books that we read and write essays about it. Her class materials are really helpful and your writing skills would improve for sure. she is really caring, so if you feel stuck, she will definitely help you! TAKE HER CLASS!
JQuigs was the GOAT professor. She'll help you out over the phone and text and in person. She is great and very understanding. Her lessons are so fun and interactive. Very fun. I highly recommend taking her class
I took her class in 2017 spring quarter. Jill is just amazing teacher! love her class! we do some discussion about the books that we read and write essays about it. Her class materials are really helpful and your writing skills would improve for sure. she is really caring, so if you feel stuck, she will definitely help you! TAKE HER CLASS!
By far the best teacher I've ever had. She has an amazing policy in which you never have to turn in a written assignment unless you have received your previous written work. This really helps because you are then able to see the mistakes you've made on your previous assignment and are able to improve for the next one. Passionate. Understanding.
Strongly recommend everyone to take her class. Although she requires more reading as compare to the other lecturers, her class will makes you enjoy reading and you won't want to skip class because she is so sweet. She takes her times and make sure she give everyone in the class constructive feedback!
Jill is awesome! Really nice person. Took this class over the summer and it was intense but manageable. Lots of reading. Not a blow off by any means. Work hard and participate in class and you will get an A. Midterm and final exam are the only tests. Lots of EC opportunities!
The BEST Teacher PERIOD. Actually cares about her students and gives you multiple ways to contact her when you need help. She is a wonderful teacher and will make sure you understand what she teaches! She is a total mom when it comes to lectures(don't miss the third week haha) but a total GOAT (greatest of all time) for everything else! +GORGEOUS!
Very sweet teacher. She goes out of her way to make sure you are doing well. One time I was sick and had to leave early, so she texted me information and made sure I was okay. Class pacing is a bit slow and easy. The reading pace is decently paced, but the discussions are very easy to follow. If you pay attention the class should be a breeze.
Jill was one of the best English professor. Her lectures were amazing and really helpful not only for corse but for outside of course too! IT was really easy A class if you do all your work! essays were not that bad! shes beautiful person inside and outside! I would highly recommend her! SHESS THE BEST TAKE HERRRR!!!!
I love this teacher, I am not even done with the quarter but I am already in love with this class. We have five short books. Seemed a lot at first but really it all flows together! We have 3 major papers, one research final paper. she is great at giving helpful, positive, tangible feedback. if you can take this class, DO!!!
Amazing teacher would definitely take again !!
She's great!! 110% is there for the students. Cares!!!
Wow Because of her, I am writing this rating for the first time. I really want to say that she is really kind and inspiring us all the time and I really like her positive way of thinking. She is smart and gives you some opportunities for extra credit. Good teacher. Want to take her class again.
Best instructor I ever had in my entire education life. She is very good and clear about new learning idea. Great lectures with lots of fun and group activities. Pretty easy grader. Most important is this, she understands student's situation from student's perspective. I learn lots of new writing technics from her. Very very very helpful.
She's the absolute best! Her class was easy, but I wouldn't have enjoyed it so much if it wasn't for her funny quips and upbeat attitude. Beware she isn't any pushover either, so you jerk her around she will not like it. Just take the time to read the material and give any feedback, and you'll get a good grade. Would take her again in a heartbeat!
I wish I could take Jill's class every quarter! She's so fun and so sweet and caring. She wants you to get an A, and she will give you every opportunity to pass, you just gotta put in the work. As long as you show up and provide some kind of insight into the text (there's no wrong answer) then you're set. You won't regret taking her class trust me.
Jill is very sweet. She really cares about her students. She gives good feed when you give her your essays. Her assignment are really easy as long as you are reading the book she assigns you should be fine.
Probably one of the best professors in De Anza, turn in your work on time, attend all her class and most importantly do all her readings then I am pretty sure that you will get a good grade.
Jill is the best! Took her for summer and it was a breeze. She is very passionate about her classes and is caring about your opinions. Lots of ready, but is a really easy class. She gives many opportunities for extra credit. Would take her again if I could!
One of the most caring, lovely professors Ive had here. Engaging, stimulating, open-forum discussions. Was receptive, welcoming of what students had to say. Even when someone had an awful take, she was very diplomatic (almost to a fault). Loved several stories from the readings and opened my eyes to the merits from ones less immediately enjoyable.
Took her Winter '19. Really caring, understanding, & willing to listen to what you have to say so it's easy to participate in her class. There are a few books to read in EWRT 1B & a few essays as well, but nothing impossible. The books aren't too long either so they're not difficult to read. Exams are in the form of essays and homework is doable.
She's amazing! I look forward to her classes. She's a brilliant person and cares for all her students, making sure to know everyone's names. She listens to everyone's opinions, and while she may not always agree, she always accepts their thoughts with an open mind. She makes classes fun and engaging. Excited to take her again next quarter!
Professor Quigley puts a lot of effort into her classes and cares about her students. Each class is personal and Im sad it ended! Very informative and you learn a lot about context and theory of poetry. There is a moderate amount of reading goes into this class, but very manageable. I highly recommend you take her! (class met once a wk on zoom)
Jill was so amazing & very kind. The class got to know each other on a deeper level during our weekly zoom (so hard online)! Loved and invested in the community more than the material lol but the content was cool as well. Jill is very considerate of her students and adjusts homework/format of tests accordingly. Weekly poems hw + journal assignments
Prof. Quigley is so amazing!! The class really connected with each other and made a comfortable space. Always looked forward to zooms every week. You'll learn so much in class and the canvas is very organized with fun material. Super chill and fun. Wants you to pass. Journal every week. 1 midterm, 1 final, 1 final presentation.
Jill is the best professor I have ever had during my academic journey. She's kindhearted and genuinely wants you to do well in her class. I wish more professors were like her! She made learning fun and was always willing to help her students. I wish I could take her class again!!
She is a very nice teacher who is passionate about her subject. Gives feedback and responds quickly. However, she brings politics into the class and wants students to have the same views as her. I wish we focused on fiction more!
Professor Quigley is passionate about literature and poetry. She has a charasmatic way of teaching that will keep you excited about going to her class. Do yourself a favor and take her intro to poetry class, you will not regret it!
She has to be the BEST English teacher I have ever had in my life! You will never find someone so passionate like her who makes scary items like essays and research manageable and worthwhile. She is so approachable and is super casual! I love how her class is such a safe space for sharing joy + fears! PLEASE take her for your English journey!
If you ever need a english class, take her!! She is so sweet and passionate and truly cares for her students. Hw is so fun! I took her intro to poetry class and it literally changed my entire life. I changed my major, found out who I am, and left with so many friends. She makes you feel so important and loved. I cant say enough about her<3
She is the best English professor I ever had.
You know when people talk about that teacher that you never forget? She's that teacher.
AWESOME TEACHER!!! She really cares about her students and goes above and beyond to help. She gives tons of feedback on essays and really remembers each student's work. There are three books read in her class and not all of them were my favorite but she really helps you understand their meaning and relevance to the bigger picture.
Awesome professor, steady pace, clear grading, you will get very good feedback from her, she is very caring and kind to every student and takes time to read and give feedback to everyone.
JUST THE BEST!! Class with her was very engaging and fun. She is super dedicated to teaching and she is very passionate about literature. She was kind enough to push essay deadlines and even gave minutes-long audio feedback for our essay! Although the books were hard, put in effort and you will excel in this class.
All the positive reviews are genuine. Jill Quigley is a fantastic professor. I took her when I started at De Anza; she was a great professor, brilliant, caring, and understanding. But don't take advantage of her kindness; that would be unethical, and she certainly has awareness. Take her, learn and appreciate her; she is lovely.
I took her for a hand full of classes. She genuinely cares about the students and their performance both in and out of the classroom. Don't take advantage of her niceness, she will not give you a passing grade without earning it. She is heavy in the reading so don't fall behind. She will be able to tell you googled the information and did not read.
Miss Jill is very kind and caring. She gets to know each student so she can help everyone in the way they need it. She's patient and works with all kinds of students as long as they put in the effort. There is a decent amount of reading in this course, so stay on it. Participation is key! Either online or in person, she loves either.
She is an amazing professor and such a genuine person. I loved every minute of the class and was actually upset when it ended. I loved her and the books we read, they can be tough, but stick with it, you'll get it. She's a fair grader and gives you the best feedback you will need in your life to become a better writer. Take her!
Wow, I could definitely say she was the best English teacher I ever had. Pretty sad now that it ended. Take her class, you won't regret it.
Best professor I have ever had, I wish I could take every class with her. She cares deeply about her students' success. You read a lot but she makes it enjoyable? You also write a lot, but again, she makes it fun. She made me believe in myself as a writer. I promise if you don't like English after taking her class you will.
OMG! Best professor I've ever had my whole life. So beautiful, caring, funny and amazing!! A human close to perfection is the only thing I would say :)
Very amazing prof!! She's super caring and understanding. There are like four or so essays you have to write but she consistently gives great feedback and is willing to help all the time. Also responds to emails super quick!
Professor Quigley is amazing! Her class is engaging and she genuinely cares about student success. The workload can be challenging, but with effort and using resources like Unstuckstudy, you'll excel. Highly recommend taking her course.
Miss Jill is an amazing professor! She cares for her students and makes lectures very enjoyable. We had two essays throughout her class and she gave good feedback. I always enjoyed my English classes in the past and she has helped me improve my writing so much.
She is truly one of the best professors I have ever had. She cares a lot about her students and is very understanding. SHE IS THE BESTTTTTT!!!!
miss jill is the nicest professor i've ever had! i even took two classes with her. she's so patient and helpful. she went above and beyond to prevent me from failing her class. the material of this class is also very interesting and engaging, even for someone who is not super interested in literature. 10/10 would recommend!
She is the sweetest professor I've ever had. I had her last spring and am overdue on this rating. She was so helpful and kind, and you can tell she loves teaching. She went above and beyond for me, and I'm forever grateful for her. Truly one of one. If you see this, thank you, Jill! -A
