Needs to be clear with her directions. Not really an easy teacher. She gives tough papers and is a tough grader. Helpful and nice though.
Nice, funny lady. Easiest A I ever got.
this class will never be boring, she's incredibly funny and the class is really easy.
At first she may seem to be strict but as time goes on she eases up. Pretty easy assignments if you can right an essay, plus some grammer. An easy A if you do the work. Doesn't grade very hard and also gives fun topics and activities. Good teacher.
Funny!
She is really nice, it's just a class you have to do your papers on and make sure youve proof read them and everything. Your grade pretty much comes from the essays you turn in so if you make sure to use correct grammar and stuff its fine.
Super easy course, just pay attention. She is extremely clear on what she expects from the students on each of their papers. She is funny and very interesting. People who don't do well in her class obviously weren't paying attention to begin with.

WELL WE GAVE HER A HARD TIME, FRESHMAN STUDENTS SO THAT WAS NOT EASY FOR HER BUT SHE GOT US STRAIGHT AND MADE IT VERY CLEAR OF WHAT SHE WANTED US TO DO. I LIKED HER BECAUSE SHE IS REAL AND I FOUND THAT SHE AND I HAD A LOT IN COMMON. SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER I GOT A B' INHER CLASS BUT THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.
Great class. I hate writing and am not very good at it and I still got an A. She makes things very clear as far as what she wants in your essays and what she expects. She seems a little rough on the first day but she REALLY eases up.
great teacher. I hope she teaches 1102!!! Easy A!!
Good teacher...easy course. There is a lot of writing and she says she grades essay's hard but she's reasonable. She likes group work.
super
Very Good teacher. I enjoyed being in her class. You will do a lot of writing and reading but I feel it helped me with Lit.
Excellent teacher, keeps the class interesting. This was a true communication class with moderate reading and writing.
She's nice and fun.
She was a great teacher. She was real helpful and I learned a lot!
she is very funny. she is young and love to help her students. EASY "A"
Mrs.Jennings is an extremely interesting teacher.She has a great sense of humor,and is crystal clear in what she expects from students.She acts like shes tough,but shes not.I got an A and I don't like to write. But I had to earn it.This is a discussion class.
Everything is spelled out wonderfully. Is willing to answer questions. One of the better teachers I've had on this campus. Definately will take again if she teaches anyhting else.
Do the work, you'll get a good grade! She does reading selections and then a quiz, but she goes over the selections prior to quiz (and gives you some of the answers). As long as you come to class, do decent on quizzes and the research paper (choose your topic), you'll do well!
I don't know what is with the grades horrible thing. She grades pretty farely. I got a B and I worked my ass off to get it.
She is very helpful with determing direction to take with essays/writings. She listens to what you have to say about subjects.Don't miss any classes she has quizzes every week (at least in short track summer). Would take her again.
Taking it now in the summer goes really fast you have to write a short 5 paragraph once a week and a research paper 4 pages total excluding the citation page very easy class.. Take her
I am set agog by this whole classroom experience. Professor Jennigs is talented ande teaches with passion and gravitas. If you want to learn to write well, please take this class.
I enjoyed Ms. Jennings. I never bought the book and got an B!! there is a lot of group work, but also a lot of guidance and answers! She was awesome and I hope that all of my professors can live up to her and her eccentric style.
Ms Jennings is an excellent professor. She teaches with love and alot of guidance. There are group works and also grammar games, which we find very helpful for the final grammar test.She explained the diffent types of essays very clearly. I made a B. Research papers she was there to guide us through. Awesome professor!!! I took her this summer.
Excellent class! I loved it.
I took this professor last fall (2009), and she was a delight to be around. Her teaching style is both informative and vivacious, a style I have seen few teachers master. She takes lots of time to go over assignments and the research paper. She really wants her students to succeed, and I only regret not taking her for Comp II. Highly recommend her.
Class was very enjoyable. She was very helpful and helped her students prepare for every essay. Would've signed up for 1102 with her if I had to take the class.
Her class was laid back but she makes it easy to learn at the same time. Would recommend for anybody.
Her class is simple and easy. She is good at explaining things clearly. However, it was hard to get good grades on her essays. To get an A on an essay i believe you need to be a professional writer. She is a little sarcastic and has somewhat of an attitude. I would not take her class again,
I enjoyed her class. She is a tough essay grader. Professor Jennings cares about her student's success. She also makes class fun. I enjoyed our process essay presentations the best. I hope I didn't make any grammar or spelling errors in this review. A++ teacher
She's reasonable when grading I think. She wants her students to succeed and it shows when she teaches in class. Its hard to get an A but its college. The previous writer is right though, she is a lot better one on one.
I did not really enjoy Mrs. Jennings as a teacher. It was impossible to get a good grade on an essay and we did not even write a lot. We just took some quizzes on essays she would make us read for homework. If you want an A, do not take her.
Jennings is interesting. She had us talk about a lot of different issues with all the readings we did. I never really thought about some of the stuff we covered in class. Shes not the easiest prof (I didnt do great on the research paper but did ok on those response papers). But she's got ideas.
She was a good teacher. Very clear and concise about what she expected and would tolerate She does not accept late work in no way, shape or form. If you follow her instructions you will pass without difficulty. I will take her again for 1102
You will earn your grade. Ms.Jennings does not give out A's. Very Helpful,Down to earth. does not put up with slackers. Put in effort and you will get an A!
She is very humorous but takes her job very seriously. Quizzes over readings are Extremely Easy as long as you actually read everything assigned & participate in discussions in class. However, the essays MUST be perfect in order for her to give you a decent grade. I did learn a lot by the time I got done w/the final research paper :) & I got an A
Her work is not very hard, yes alot of writing and a few group assignmens but for the most part I enjoyed her as a teacher. I would recommend her to other students.
Tough but fair. Funny in class. Loved her.
Jennings does not give out A's! You have to earn your grade in that class. She seems to have an attitude. Can be a little funny at times. Essay assignments where fairly easy.
Entertaining class. Professor Jennings was upbeat and funny. You will read a lot and discuss everything but it's interesting. I think it helped the class was real small too.
She is a very good professor and very helpful.
I loved her! I actually enjoyed going to class.
I don't understand why several people are commenting that she's this amazing professor and the class isn't bad. She's a really tough grader and expects you to know how to write a great essay as if you're in Enc1102 . She's a cool teacher and all but her grading is tedious because she makes off the simplest things. Wouldn't take her again!!!!
She is very outgoing and nice. There are three essays and one research paper. Students can even bring in their papers (for her class) and she will completely proofread them. I would recommend her to anyone.
GREAT TEACHER... I WISH SHE TAUGHT 1102
There is no doubt that Professor Jennings is there to help! She is so awesome and so helpful. Fair warning she can be very picky with even the slightest little details other than that she is an awesome professor and I would recommend her to anybody.
Talks a lot, seemingly annoying, could not take her again
Definitely loved her class. Work hard to get a good grade. Pretty clear about what she assigns. Stuck to the syllabus. No surprises. Great professor altogether!
She doesn't have a long class, so you're only in the class for an hour tops. There's almost no homework except for working on the essays. There are only around 3-4 essays, then you have to work on the research paper, where you are given a lot of time to finish as she goes through the step by step process with you.
ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. She is a very nice professor, but when it comes to assignments and grading, she is THE WORST. The toughest grader, she will mark your paper 20 points off if you spell a word wrong, Do not take her, but especially DO NOT TAKE HER if you are not good at English, she will make your experience worse
HORRIBLE TEACHER! Yes, she is nice but regarding assignment and grading she is the worse. She expects you to do things just the way she wants them without teaching them. She takes off point for the dumbest things literally will take off points just for missing the class time on your paper. DO NOT TAKE HER! Worse experience.
Not understanding at all.
She definitely helped me write about the things I love. I always got A's on my essays except maybe one B-. She likes for you to be real and personal in your essays. Im a very private person but I did this & it helped me write. I wrote papers the night before it was due & got A's. She hates when ppl go to the bathroom repeatedly but that's expected
I'm disappointed that she doesn't teach Comp 2, I wouldn't consider changing to another professor if that was the case. The things she teaches are the things she looks for when grading, and has a good sense of humor. I completely recommend her.
She's A good teacher but you have to work for your grade. She is very understanding and will help you if you have any problems. The class calls for a textbook but you only use it ONCE !!! You have FOUR papers that you have to write the first THREE are preparing you for the final paper witch is the Research Paper. You must EDIT Your PAPERS
Great professor. She is always there to help when you need it. She gives you examples papers of how she wants your essay/research paper done and goes in detail on how you should write your essay. Don't plagiarize and work hard, for it will reflect on your grade. Research paper can boost your grade or hurt it.
she is very sarcastic , but a good teacher. she makes you write a lot , but she's fair
she is very sarcastic. also she is a hard grader , she is nice most of the time
I got to take her for her Monday 3 hour night class and I enjoyed it! There was some witty humor to her lectures and some good information. She will teach you how to write a paper and help you along with it! Tip: DON'T TURN IN LATE WORK. She was an AMAZING choice for a teacher and I recommend her to anyone taking ENC1101.
She is an amazing professor. It's not hard to pass her class. I hate English, but her class was my favorite. She makes clear rubrics and shows student examples. You can come to her for help any time.
I had Prof Jennings my first semester at Polk and I really enjoyed her class. The essays she assigned were fun to write and before the final paper was due, she had two class periods for half the class to come and have their final draft reviewed by her, and the other half came on the other day.
She definitely makes you work for your grade, but she's reasonable and will always help if you need it (I remember when she explained to me about dangling modifiers). She tells you exactly what she wants and has a sense of humor. I wish she taught Comp II!
Professor Jennings is probably the best prof. I've had so far. I wish she was teaching Comp 2. She's got a good sense of humor and is easy to talk to. She's extremely helpful and easily accessible through her email or office hours. The work isn't hard if you write in a way that shows your personality. She gives really good feedback too.
I wish that more of the professors were like her. When you pay for a class and have an expectation to learn things that you either didnt know or havent used in years, she clears it all up and has you leave the class in high spirits. She is very helpful and straight forward about her expectations. she makes time for you to meet during office hours
I took English before with another professor and didn't pass but I took it with professor Jennings and everything about that class was amazing. Not only was she a great teacher but she was very welcoming and loving and lets not forget hilarious. I am hoping she teaches comp2 in the fall . I would 10/10 recommend her.
Cool teacher overall
LOVED her class. She has a great personality and is an awesome teacher. Expects work on time but will take late work but will take points off of course. easy grader
She is the worst professor I have ever had. She give attitude for no reason, when someone asks her for help she makes weird faces at you. I would not recommend her to English.
Not the most reasonable teacher. I will admit if you show up to her class everyday you will pass. She is alittle sarcastic and does give you weird looks when asking a question. Overall just be on time and turn your work in on time.
Jennings is an amazing professor. She is very clear about what she wants and cares about the students. She always tries making language puns and they never turn out in her favor. You will definitely learn how to write in her class and have fun doing it. Not allowed to miss more then 3 days however. I would definitely take her again!
I would definitely take Professor Jennings again. She's nice as long as you follow directions and are on time/actually there. Always gave good, clear feedback on papers. If you show you care for your grade, she will definitely work with you. She makes you work for your grade, but that's a given. I had been out of school for 2 years and did great!
She strives for all her students to do their best and past.
I loved this class and this professor! Professor Jennings is a great teacher and truly wants her students to succeed. She almost always lets class out early and rarely gives homework. You do have to put in effort to get an A in her class, but she is more than willing to help aid her students. Highly recommend this class!
8/10. Bring a folder/binder because she prints out everything. She makes it clear on what she wants from you and enjoys talking with her students about general things (without wasting class time). Class is usually done within 30 minutes, no textbooks and she gives no extra credit (except for one "insurance assignment"). VERY grammar heavy.
Professor Jennings is a truly English pro for teaching, she is understandable, she will teach you everything about writing, and if you struggle and she sees you trying your very best she will bump you a letter grade only if you do exactly what she says, she will also give you a lot of extra credits so that you can get a passing grade she is a pro.
She is very caring, does assign essays but is very helpful when needed, even at night she emails back when she can. love her class and would take her again.
i only wouldnt take her again because she kind of annoyed me but she was a good professor and understanding. 3 essays, one research paper and 1 final essay. grades easy in my opinion and im not a good writer. then a final grammer test thats common sense in my opinion but her class was really easy.
As long as you follow the directions, you'll be fine.
She is a great professor with amazing feedback! Theres no way anyone could ever fail her class. Her essays are very interesting and fun to write (even for people who hate writing). I would recommend taking this professor!
Professor Jennings was really helpful when it came to giving good feedback to help you improve. I emailed her a question once about my essay and she emailed me back multiple examples I could use. She is easy to reach and genuinely cares about her students. There is ample amount of time to complete her essays and they are generally fun to do.
Professor Jennings is an alright professor. She is kind and understanding, but can sometimes be harsh and whimsical with her grading. Note that she rarely awards A's and seems to admit that she is a critical professor; however, I assume that the scarcity at which she awards A's is moreso a consequence of student inactions. The best comp professor.
Professor Jennings is a fantastic College Comp I professor, and I would recommend her to anyone needing to take the class. She explains the grading criteria very thoroughly. If you follow her instructions carefully, it is not too hard to get a good grade. She is very understanding and flexible. Highly recommend!
Prof. Jennings was the best! I wish she taught ENC1102 so I could take her again. I really enjoyed her class & the work load was very manageable, just discussion posts, a few quizzes and I want to say 3 papers. The research paper is tough, and I did poorly on it because I was incredibly unmotivated. However, that wasn't any fault of Prof. Jennings.
Good professor, gives good feedback and gives only 4-5 essays to do. Final essay is topic of choice on a few things
Honestly, she is not a bad professor at all. She just takes a while to grade your paper, making it hard to see what you need to approve. It's not impossible to succeed in her class you just need to use the resources she gave you.
She is good and gives examples of essays to help guide you. However, she is strict with essays But still good. She responds quick with emails.
Good professor, explains things good just a lot of essays but that's part of the class.
Great teacher and very understanding, and is willing to help you. Don't hesitate to ask for help.
I took Professor Jennings during my first semester at this school and out of all of my classes I can most definitely say that this was the hardest for no reason. She was not very helpful when it came to asking questions, and assumed everyone already knew what she was talking about. She is extremely critical when it comes to grading so BEWARE.
2 essays, a couple of in-class assignments and quizzes, and a 5-page research paper of your choice. The only downside is that she takes about a month to grade the essays. Minimal work compared to other English classes but will say that she is a tough grader for a community college professor.
Professor Jennings is a fair grader who expects a lot from her students. Her class has several essays, but the workload is manageable. For study prep, I found unstuck study and the course resources very helpful in understanding the requirements.
I loved Professor Jennings. She's easy to work with, very accessible, and she overall teaches a good class. It's important to show up on time, every time (she will appreciate it). She makes it easy if you come to class, and her work isn't overwhelming. I would definitely take her again!
