She's the best professor I had in my life. She cares about everyone in class and makes sure everyone feels comfortable. The work is easy and if you don't know how to write MLA , she will take her time to explain it to you. I really recommend her to take, She's awesome.

Amazing! Words cannot express how much of information I was able learn within minimum of time was given. Although you may think of this class as difficult when in reality it isn't. Don't close off into your shell. Vey understanding of lives being outside of student. But don't take for granted how much of blessing she is and great professor.

Ms. Jefferson is the most caring and kind teacher Ive ever come across. I admire her way of teaching because its not boring at all. She genuinely cares for each and every student and is extremely reasonable and understanding. I took her during intercession; it was the best community college experience Ive had. She made everything flow so easy.

Professor Kimberly is extremely nice. Shes very funny with her humor and is also very caring. I will admit, she does give a lot of homework all at once but if you manage your time properly you will pass her class with an easy A. She also provides formats for essays.

I took Professor Jefferson for English 101 during Intersession 2020. I absolutely enjoyed her class. She cares about her students and will work with you to help you succeed, all you have to do is ask. By far my favorite professor at AVC. She doesn't overload you with work but she does expect you to be responsible for yourself. Definitely recommend.

She is extremely strict, she snaps at her students if she feels that she has already answered the question. She grades super harshly, and DOES NOT CARE about any late reasons, even if it is due to canvas and out of your control. She has killed my drive to care about her class, and tends to smack her mouth a lot and I have misophonia.

She waited until right before her start date to send out info, I dropped it, thinking she had cancelled. She killed my drive for her class during 1st class. She degrades her students, my last straw was when a student found her comment offensive, spoke up. & she mocked her stutter (class & husband heard it) then denied it when I called her out.

Im not sure how I feel about her. At first she seemed very caring then as soon as we hit the third week it seemed like she was so annoyed and bothered by all of us. I would not take her again.

Professor Jefferson is a very condescending person she make you feel stupid and any questions you have she advice you to go to the learning center. If there's any chance you can take another English professor please do or take at your own risk.

This class was supposed to be a hybrid but ended up fully online. The instructor was rude, unorganized, and ill-prepared. AVC, located in a less desirable area of L.A. County, seems to retain staff at the expense of student quality. Antelope Valley College should hire more professional, caring professors. She is classless, vile, and unprofessional.

Kimberly is EXTREMELY specific in situations where the answer is flexible give or take. On my first assignments being graded, my grade immediately dropped to a B. On the very 1st of class she sent out a email to everyone basically saying “if you can't handle it, drop the class”. Basically acknowledging her own harshness and lack of sincerity.

When I first took this class, I immediately didn't like Professor Jefferson. Over the following few weeks, I learned to appreciate her. She challenged me as I am not great at English comprehension nor writing. Stay on top of your homework, readings, and discussions, and you'll be okay. She may be tough but follow the syllabus and you'll succeed.

When I asked for help on assignments I was always told to seek out the LC.Sad that I took a course from a teacher that can't spell correctly,but wants to fail me asking questions & clarification. Accused of plagiarizing & told the school pays for services to spot it & I am a LIAR.Yet all other papers were excellent before & after that assignment

This professor is not worth your time and energy. She's very nitpicky about her grading, insincere, and has a funky attitude. You can smell the funk through the screen. She says, "Follow the directions," but doesn't follow her own. Moral of the story, do not take her class, she'll get on your nerves :)

This professor throughout my semester was pretty tough, many students, including myself, found the lectures to be difficult to follow. For example, during her lectures she created for this online class often times lacked clarity due to misspelled words and other issues. Also, she graded extremely tough!

Took her for intersession and she is EXTREMELY SPECIFIC, on how you answer questions with nuanced and flexible answers. I spent hours finishing the 1st assignment, and she gave me a zero, and said the correct answer was (literally what I said but worded barely differently 😑). I'm a hard worker and a great student, I swear I'm not lazy! BEWARE!
