She is such a great teacher, she helps and pushes you to understand writing. Her teaching method is easy to follow, she not hard but not easy. All you gotta do is try your best and she'll be there to help you along the way.
She's a really good teacher. she's always really helpful but she's not easy. But she grades really fair. She's also pretty funny too.
IF you want to improve in English I definately reccomend to take her... she pushes you to improve in your writing...and she is very organized and knows her stuff...she is sooo sweet and is always there to help you out..Great helpful teacher~!!!
she is the best of the best teachers. you can learn a ot from her. highly recommended teacher.
The best teacher I ever had..Some feel she is very strict and tough . Yes she is, because she wants us to learn. She is very clear in teaching and very helpful..I love her!!
she's a fun teacher. likes to have everyone participate. calls on everyone to talk. very helpful.
She is such a **** and a **** .I hate her so much . She made it so hard for me .I recommend no one should take her class.
OMG!!! she is seriously the best teacher I've ever had! i highly recommend her if you are into literature! she's reallllyy cool, funny and very good at what she does :-) i hope i get to take a class with her again!!
judy's a reaally really cool professor. her classes are fun and really educational at the same time.
Judy is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She's a great teacher with a energetic personality that helps keep the class alive. She got me into Harry Potter books. ;0)
All the critics were right! This instructor is one of the best! She helps you and keeps you motivated. Very funny and bonds with you, test are challenging just make sure you do what she tells you and you'll do fine. Will take here again if possible. A+
the best teacher!! seriously got me into reading (am now a harry potter addict)and changed me from a c student to an a/b student! just read!! her classes are so fun!
Wonderful teacher. I didnt feel confident in myself before taking this class, but working with Judy helped me improve my writing skill a lot !!!! She's hilarious and her class was really funny also.
Not easy to get good result.
Hard...
She is a very easy teacher. Just read all the stories and you will do fine. If you don't get an A, that's because you are not doing the reading. All you read are stories like Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, etc. Take this class if you want a easy A.
She seems funny and enthusiastic, but that's what you see on the surface. She is really an unorganized person, and she always has a headache. She wants to end her class as early as possible, sometimes even half an hour early. Terrible!
She's a little nutty, but the class was easy. There's lots of reading. If you think you can skip the reading you'll fail! She's easy going about assignments and papers, very understanding if you need an extension. I don't think she keeps track of grades, so don't expect a progress report.
This class is not a walk in the park... Lots of reading, lots of papers, I must say out Ewrt2, ewrt 1b&A.this class by far was the hardest. Very time consuming, hard grader, but she did help me improve my writing skills. B'cuz of all the work she made us do in the class, helped me in ewrt2 & ewrt 1B
I don't really understand all the previous ratings, coz Judy is EXTREMELY helpful. Getting an A becomes really easy when u know exactly wat u r supposed to have in ur paper (go to her office if u have any question), and do ur reading be4 coming to her class. Strongly recommend !!!!
she is one of the best. Very helpful.
Don't call her Mrs. Hubbard, likes Judy! She is a really easy teacher, keeps class fun, wants to help everyone understand the material. Reading is a must, it's long and tedious but you won't pass without doing it. I didn't really like the material once into the class but not b/c of her, she' great.
She is soooo nice. She is a great teacher. There is lots of reading and it must be done! Overall, the class is a lot of fun and she is one of the best teachers I have had. I would highly recommend her class.
Greatest English teacher i've ever had !!! I had to thank her for helping me improve my writing skill.
She was a cool teacher or at least she tried to be. Only thing I didn't like about her was that she favored students. If she didn't think you did things up to your potential she was harder on you. Expected too much from certain groups.
She is the worst teacher that I had. Class is difficult, unuseful and boring. Don't take her class!! You will be in troble!!
She's very strict and boring. She wants her student to be as the way she hopes. Don't take hers!!!
This is such a fun class, it is really easy too, as long as you do the readings, the only hard part was the quiz on myths, b/c you had to remember the character's names, but besides that it was easy, and even if you bomb 2-3 quizes u can still get an A
loved her, very nice sweet lady. enjoyed class very much.
I came into college fearing English classes but this was a good one. She is extremely nice and very accepting of the opinions of the class (as long as you have evidence to prove it.) She doesn't give a break in the middle of a long class but it still goes by faster than most other classes do since there's a lot of discussion and inclass groupwork.
She is ok. I felt that her class was hard. she is pushy. And she gets really angry if students dont do HW. She sends u outta teh classroom.
Judy is a great teacher. She genuinely wants her students to learn and enjoy the class. She gives little quizes to make sure you are keeping up on the reading, which isn't too heavy. My advice would be to show up and participate, she loves to have an engaging class. Remember, Children's Lit is supposed to be fun!
I was excited to take mythology, but the class is a boring routine. Come in, take a quiz, then talk about the readings til our faces are blue. No break in the long class, the class takes all the fun from the myths. We watch movie clips, but she starts from the middle, so how are we supposed to know what we're watching??? Ridiculous class.
She's a fair grader, good helpful teacher, a bit boring, but a good teacher to take with just to get over with it. The final is the portfolio which I think wouldn't be too hard, and this is just a P/NP class, so a good teacher and will gladly help you if you come during office hours.
shes such a sweetheart.really cares about you doing well in the class and would be more than happy to help.always smiling. the class can be boring sometimes but its ok its great overall
Judy is a wonderful teacher. She is always smiling and wanting to help her students. The reading is fun but near the end of the quarter gets a little longer (to be expected in an ELIT class). Just read the short stories and the class, quizzes and tests will be easy!
i dont like her becos she is always complaining about grammatical error. the class is boring. but i like her. she is funny though.
always trying to make jokes.. really pushy, but in a good way..always willing to help you if you need help..not always clear about the explanations but like I said she will help you, just ask...really nice lady pretty easy class...just do the journals, assays..and you'll be fine.
Mrs. Judy was one of the SWEETEST teachers i ever had. She has an attendance policy you can't miss more than 2, but if you have things that come up (like i did) she understands. Work isn't TOO hard, she helps you as much as she can on your portfolio. She makes class interesting and shows TV shows for class assignments (which is pretty cool!)<3 her!
You guys are idiots if you don't think she's an amazing teacher. She is great and made class amazing. She is very helpful and always there for you if you want to talk. She understands if you can't make class (if it's a good reason) and I love her.
she is very struct but she is very nice and helpful. Her class does not allow to speak other language that makes some internation student into trouble.
Best teacher ever. I loved her class. It was a fun class. Easy A if you do the homework. Would take her again. If you are looking to take an Elit class you should take this one.
Judy is interesting and she is a really good teacher who really want to improve her students' English even though she is extremely hard to pass. But what she did is all for our own good.
i am currently sitting in the lab room and we are supposed to be writing our end of class reflections for the class and i decided i gotta rate hubbard and let the world know that she is the coolest prof evar :D do not miss out on this great experience. p.s. a lot of candy eating is involved
i am in the writing lab and im supposed to be writing my end of class reflection but i decided to rate hubbard and let the world know how great she is :D i learned a lot in this class and i definitely feel ready for ewrt1a. please do not miss out on this amazing experience! p.s. theres a lot of candy eating involved in this class
So far, she seems wonderful. Good at guiding the conversations and she is interested in pondering other perspectives. The class itself is pretty easy as well. I've already learned stuff on the second day. I highly recommend.
I liked the class in the beginning. It got boring really fast. We didn't do much in class, and we had more and more reading every night. THEN After doing nothing for months, we had a final group project, final personal project, short-answer final, and a take home 5 essay-question final. WTF?! It was hard for me, and I'm taking a light load. sigh.
Judy is real nice. although her smile looks like a chickens smile from the chicken run movie so that makes her classes like 20 times better. besides that shes really helpful shes kind of funny but she can get on your case if you are late or something but all in all good teacher.
Judy is one of the nicest teachers. I had her for this and mythology last spring. While I didn't do well in mythology, I did well in the EWRT1A class. She's really helpful and nice. Just talk to her and she'll help you with anything. Essays are pretty easy, books are easy reads.
no comment.
This class is perfect to fulfill those IGETC requirements. This teacher and the class material are easy. Seriously, if you fail at a class in mythology you either are mentally retarded or a lazy ****. Excuse my French.
Only 3 absences allowed. Good teacher, over-all. Essays are kind of abundant. But, she's very attentive to her students. She sensed I was having trouble and she helped me after class. She worries about your well-being. I wasn't able to take her Mythology class because of the time, but I wish I had! Here's a chili pepper for you, Judy!
terrible!If you are not native speakers, dont take her. she will ask you to go back to ESL! so mean!
She is a very mean woman,,if you do not have good skills on writing do not take her!!!i got a weekly tutor for her class, she did not think i would pass this class on my first essay. she hates transition but she likes apoostives and conjuctions...and also she got her favorite student in her class if she likes you you will pass..soo good luckk..
Summer quarter '10: nice and affable lady.3 absences allowed b4 drops you but towards the end doesn't really care. Txtbook is a $20 packet from her. Total 5 essays (2 in-class). Easy pop quizzes after readin' assignments. In-class participation=25 pts=first essay so open your mouth and SPEAK UP. Let you revise 2 essays. Easy A if strive.
She is really nice, her class is a little bit boring, but it is not so hard. She is on time all the time, she makes helpful comments in your essays. You can learn with her.
GOOD TEACHER!!! her class is a little bit boring, but it is not so hard. She is on time all the time, she makes helpful comments in your essays. You can learn with her. Grading she is a little bit tough
Cool teacher, a lot of work crammed into the Summer class. You can get a good grade if you participate.
to be honest,if u r international student, u should not choose her. u would find the boredom during class and confuse about ideas for essays assigned.
i really liked her. i was worried about this class being difficult but she is clear and very helpful. she takes time after class to help you out if you need it and lets you make changes to your essay to get a better grade. i definitely recommend her for english 1A. overall easy class.
I looked forward to her class. The discussions in class were very interesting I learned alot. As long as you do the reading your sure to pass. I loved her as a teacher and am taking her in another course.
loved her! she's so down to earth and the subject itself (Mythology&Folklore) is just interesting in itself. I actually enjoyed reading all the stories and didn't have to force myself to. Just be sure to have the people you work with enjoy it too because you do a lot of group work. Midterm/Final is SUPER easy. No way to fail this class.
great teacher, very helpful i used to HATE writing but now it's not so bad
she is a very sweet lady! She helped me a lot when it came to my writing attending class is important so do not miss any. i learned more form her than any other professor. ask questions and show initiative. i highly recommend her!
Judy is a total sweetheart! She made class fun, and I enjoyed every single essay prompt that was given. Make sure you do all the readings and essays.
If you want to improve your writing skill while have fun, then pick her. Proffessor Hubbard is a really great instructor! :) I really recommend taking her class because she's very helpful when you need her help. She's also very promoting when it comes to class discussion and participation. She is unbiased and open to the opinions we give in class.
She is super nice. Probably the best English teacher I've ever had. She is super helpful. You learn a lot in her class. She's an amazing teacher. You should take her if you need this class.
she is a good teacher if you are a native speaker.
Shes very nice and gives lots of reading. Class was fun, lots of group work. Her tests are really hard, you MUST read to pass. Favoritism seems to be around though.
Judy is a great teacher. Super funny! She gives you all the tools to figure out the stories and is great about accepting differing opinions as long as you can back them up. You absolutely must keep up with your readings to do well in this class. Lots of group work and presentations but they're fun.
Judy is nice and is understanding of scheduling conflicts. Only hwk is short/quick reading every day. You can eat in class! The first 2 weeks were dry because of lectures, but after that it's mostly partner/group work that involves talking and socializing. Concepts are easy to grasp. 1 midterm, 1 test, 1 final group project, & 1 essay.
I really recommend Judy. She is extremely helpful. She cares about her students and interacts with them. Judy is funny when we do a lot of class discussions, but you have to participate! Overall, I liked going to her class. It was a great experience and I learned a lot.
She is really fun and helpful. She help me a lot with my grammar and essay. She teaches me ways to fix and learn my grammar. I highly recommended her.
She's a really nice professor. Very nice and outgoing. She is very helpful. She's very strict about attendance, and drops you if you miss three classes. Overall, she's very nice and you will enjoy her class ;)
Great teacher - friendly and approachable - and this class was a lot of fun. There wasn't a great deal of writing, but if you don't keep up with the reading you'll probably find that you don't like your grade.
Literally her lectures are word for word from her ppt which she gets from the internet. Keep up with the reading. Very vague on instructions for final projects and believe her when she says she can't use a computer. Nice lady, took her for myth and folklore and class was mostly discussion which was kind of annoying.
good teacher, class is fun. lots of group work/presentations, but be sure to keep up on reading or you'll fail the class. for final, have to do a final group presentation, an individual final essay, and a final test.
She is not the best teacher, at least in mythology and folklore. There were some a** holes that insisted on correcting her constantly, but if she knew her stuff it wouldn't have happened. Discussion and group work oriented, easy final and midterm, 1 at home essay, and overall a very fun class. Just didn't learn much. She is also super nice!
OMG. This class is a joke. She teaches straight from the internet, and all she does is place people into group projects because it's obvious she is really bad at teaching... If you think this class will be an easy A, you should reconsider taking a class that might actually benefit you.. Such a waste of time.
if you are international students, do not take her ever! She teaches nothing on writing and just advise you to take esl class. None of my essays got passed. Avoid taking her, trust me.
Judy was very helpful, and I feel like my writing has improved a lot after I took her class. She goes over the structure of each essay in class and allows revisions for all essays except for in-class essays. I would take her again.
Such an amazing & humble professor. She loves to help and she understands people's ability to write.
she is such a great Teacher. She was able to understand me and help me a lot with my writing :)
Love love LOVE HER. Best teacher I've had so far. She's so cute and sweet. I really enjoyed her class it was never boring! She's super caring I feel like I can go to her with my problems. Oh and if you need help with your essays she helps so much!!! She's the reason I know how to write now :)
Mrs. Hubbard is very nice with all her students. She will be more than happy to help everyone on grammar. You will learn how to write essays to get you ready for English 1A. Easy class, takes a lot of stress from your back. You will need to keep up with the readings.
A lot of reading of the stories, but very interesting class. She has group projects. Tests are very easy. She's very nice lady and enjoyed the class very much. Turn in the assignments and you'll get an A.
I love Judy. She really cares for her students even though I was kinda introverted in groups. She's very jolly for her age thats why I love her more. She's not boring and she's inspiring. TAKE HER, WORTH IT FOR A PASS OR NO PASS.
By far the nicest English professor you will ever meet! She is there for you whenever you need help or just want to go over ideas. The class is taught in a fun very class involved interaction with a nice and easy pace. The readings are amazing and well reviewed to allow you to enjoy and not stress out. Loved the class and overall loved Judy!!
Judy is an awesome professor, she loves to engage so much with her students and constantly asks how we are doing. She is available to help no matter the circumstance you are in during class. She is very understandable and always relates her topics to what is going on in the real world .
Judy is one of the best professors I've ever had at De Anza. I've never felt very confident in my writing, but deeply improved my skills. She cares about all her students and has a great sense of humor. She also gives a base format for every essay you write, so you know what she is expecting. Very well at teaching grammar, I can't thank her enough
don't be late
Great teacher, super sweet and understanding. Willing to help students get the best grade possible. Lots of chances for extra credit.
A lot of reading, but simple reading, so textbook is definitely required! Judy was an amazing professor, I loved taking her class. As long as you read and do the required assignments, you will get a good grade! She was very sweet and forgiving. I plan on taking more courses with her!
Great teacher! really enjoys teaching to the students.
Honestly she's the best writing teacher I ever had. The material in her class is really interesting because she likes to make it revenant to our present day world. Follow her instructions, and you'll be fine. She really cares about everyone equally and is always available outside of class. I'm going to take ENLGISH 1A with her.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! She is a nice person but She is the MOST CONFUSING AND DIFFICULT teacher ever! AND she DOES NOT reply your emails. I will never ever take her class again.
She's very confusing. She's a tough grader and doesn't care about how hard you try. Not recommended.
Pls she is nice, but don't take her. She makes you do a lot of group work, and she is a tough grader. She does help, but you will have to be on your own. Not recommended
If you read the book, keep up with the homework, and ask questions when needed, the class is easy. A lot of the quizzes are open book/note. You get to bring in a rough draft of your essay for feedback before its due.
Well although she is a tough grader, she did help me improve my writing and now, I feel so much confident in my writing and Im sure I can produce a much better work in the future. Shes nice too and shes kinda against technology like phones and all that. I thought she was kinda weird at first but yeah, shes nice.
She wants to develop her own methodology of Writing Essays. She prevented me from using transitional words as well as using specific grammatical structures which shouldn't be the case. She chose a very boring book where you can get an idea for what will be future, but you don't learn any new words.
Tough grader on essays she ask for certain pointless things. She doesn't even read your whole essay when she already wants you to rewrite the whole thing. Your not even done with one essay when she piles another one on you. Her essays are overall confusing in what she wants in them. She doesn't even use canvas so grading wise your lost.
She's funny and allows you to re-write first three papers. She works a lot with helping you on individual papers.
I don't understand the negative comments. I am taking her class now and she's great. She gives us all a chance to bring in drafts and gives comments on them. It's weird that people are giving negative reviews.
I am an international student who has some problems with grammar. She explains carefully and I can see why I make mistakes and correct them. When you correct, you get full credit.
Mrs. Judy is very kind and is more than willing to help you in any of the essays/assignments that you have in the class and personally one of my favorite teachers at De Anza. As long as you follow what you need to do in class, you'll have no problem passing. Would definitely take her again! :)
Ms. Hubbard is a very caring teacher I have ever had. She gives chances for students to revise our essays. It's a critical reading and writing class so of course, it's a lot of reading and writing. As long as you follow the rules and ask if you don't understand, this class is an easy one!
Ms. Hubbard is the best English teacher I have ever had. I love her. She is so nice! Take her!
She is so cool. really nice.
Great teacher, would recommend to anyone who really wants to learn analysis. I had a hard time understanding the behind meaning of books but she helped me improve this a lot. She will stay after class and help you in her office hours as much as you need. She will even write a whole paragraph on the board just as an example for you.
I would definitely recommend students to take professor Hubbard. Her positive energy and great support for students make the class fairly easy. She's very understanding and will help students with any challenges they come across in class. Personally, I learned a lot from her especially in grammar as my writing skills improved.
very caring and passionate about her students. she is available outside class too to guide you and help you with all of your assignments. definitely recommended!
Truly learned something in her class! She makes me see English in a whole new perspective, creating interesting after interesting class :) And she brought snacks on the last day!
Lectures are very helpful, very kind lady, learned alot in the class. Expect to do 5 interesting essays.
The other reviews are pretty much accurate, but I also would add that make sure you really know how to analyze your reading! Most of the essays and discussions are more or less about analysis of what you read. If you're struggling, don't be afraid to tell her because she will provide a lot of help!
sHE'S devoted to certain basic principles of developmental composition which are helpful if you are just getting started. She creates a positive environment for most.
A very good and enthusiastic professor. It's an English class about Women's Lit so you have to read feminist-related books and academic journals along with writing the essays, but she provides valuable feedback. Plus, the homework she assigns gives you material for your essays so you're able to kill two birds with one stone.
Judy is the best English teacher I've ever had. No kidding. We got one book to read, four essays to write about the book. There will be discussion posts and quizzes mainly about analyzing the book. Only some of them are about grammar techniques. Her comments on my essay encourage me a lot. I've done so much better than I thought I could!
This is my second time taking Judy Hubbard's English classes. I want to thank Professor for the great Women in Literature course, and I have learned a lot of valuable insights from the Professor's critical viewpoint that I had not thought of. Professor was also very supportive as I experienced my family issues. I definitely recommend this class.
She is such a sweet professor, definitely enjoyed hearing her perspectives on my papers! There are required books to buy/rent, though I think they're all worth the read. The topics we cover are super interesting, I definitely can say I've learned new perspectives from this class. The content definitely gets you thinking!
Great professor. Understanding of situations and allows late work. Hands down, learned so much from her. Would retake again.
This teacher is awful. She forces students to rewrite their papers exactly as she imagines, giving them a C despite all of the effort they put into it. It's frustrating, especially since she doesn't even know what she wants. I highly recommend avoiding her class, as it will not benefit you in terms of freedom or creativity.
