This class required a lot of hard work. She is very willing to help and encourages office meetings. Her essay prompts are difficult and can be hard to understand and her discussions are either helpful or very confusing; there is no in between. Always check the syllabus; you are expected to know when things are due. Do not skip class
Very helpful and nice professor. Be sure to participate in all class activities. Wants you to pass so if you have any questions or do not understand something, communication is key. Essays may be vague but allows you to be creative and have a lot to write about. Class discussions are helpful. May assign extra credit. Makes english interesting.
She is a very good professor. The class discussions really aid in obtaining the material. The class is not extremely easy, but if an individual attends class and does online work your grades will show your participation. She cares about your grade. If you take this class you will gain knowledge in your writing.
Professor Jackson is interested in the success of her students by making herself available and spends a lot of time going over material. If a student engages and takes this class seriously it is a great class to enhance reading and writing skills. Simply put, this professor is passionate about her class and a student who engages will do very well!
Prof. Jackson is always there for her students. She is very compassionate and will do anything in her power (even meet outside of school and office hours) to help you. This is not an easy A course. I got an A but I worked for it. I went to every extra credit assignment and went to talk to her all the time about my papers. Put in the effort.
She grades her essays pretty tough, and you will never have a clear essay prompt. Be prepared to be there every class, its essential to passing. Buy all of the books required, you will use at least one of them every class. Also, the books are part of your grade, there's a easy 100.
Prof. Jackson is a tough grader! She gave us 3 essays the whole semester. The first one had a minimum of 1,000 words, the second was 800 plus words, the third was 900 plus words. Make sure you participate!! Beware she is going to make you buy A Writers Reference book I think I paid 124.00 around that & you have to buy the subscription.
Prof. Jackson gives her students just enough information for them to still be creative and use their own ideas. Don't get me wrong, its a challenging class, but it's worth the work. My writing has improved exponentially from taking her class, and I will actually be taking her ENGL 1102 class next semester!
She is a great teacher! The work is challenging, but it is supposed to be! She is always willing to help and explain things to you. She is passionate about what she teaches and talks about, and that is a good quality in professors. I would take her again!
My friends, I have learned an unimaginable amount from this class. This being said, it is extremely involved and challenging. If you struggle, the key is to seek help. The more you engage yourself, the more you will learn and the better your grade will be. I would surely take this class again looking back.
This teacher is horrible. She gives a lot of work, so be ready. She is a tough grader as well. Attendance is mandatory.
she's amazing, most of the people writing the terrible comments on her having a lot of "work" shouldn't have enrolled in college. it helps to suck up some but don't do it too much. yes attendance is mandatory but if you miss a class or two you can make it up by attending one of the other classes that she has on the newnan campus, 20 min drive.
This is the single hardest class I have ever taken. After each class I felt ready to shoot myself because of how critical the thinking is. If you ever take her class you will sincerely regret it.
I wouldn't take this class again. However, if you like freedom in your essays, this is for you. She was nice enough, but unclear about what she wanted. Topics were broad & only thing talked about in class was material it was over, however I felt like it did nothing for me; like she was going in circles & often finding connections that weren't there
Mrs. Jackson is a great professor, all you have to do is read the assignments, attend, and participate in class, and you will make a good grade if you apply yourself. If you are struggling with an assignment, she helps you narrow it down and gives feedback on papers of what to fix. She also has extra-credit opportunities. Overall great class!
Mrs. Jackson is awesome and she really helped me a lot! Her class isn't hard and what she's asking for in the essays are not unreasonable but she's also not just going to hand you the answers and tell you what to write about. She expects you to analyze and interpret for yourself which really helped me! I would love to have her as a professor again!
M. Jackson is the best English teacher I've ever had(so great I even took her twice!). She pushes her students to think harder about specific topics and makes them strive to be a better writer. She makes herself constantly available for her students whether it's in her office, in the writing lab, or through email. Gives correction opportunities!
Great teacher. Hard class if you aren't the best writer or analyzer. Make sure if you don't understand you visit her during her office hours she is very approachable and will help you an unlimited amount of times. You can email her your essays or meet with her to understand the prompts because they are a little tricky and make you think deeper .
Mrs Jackson is one of the few professors who is passionate about her job. She is very helpful if you feel stuck or do not know what to write about, go to her office and she will help you. Participation does matter in this class be ready to discuss the material. It's essential that you have the book for the class.
Professor Jackson is a great teacher, she goes out of her way to help you. Must attend class and do all assignments to get a good grade.
She wants you to think and express your thoughts, not regurgitate whatever you've heard her say. It is a very free-form sort of class, so do not prepare by the syllabus, but dive in to the material and be able to propel discussions. The essay topics are broad and offer a lot of freedom to expand one's writing. TRY, and you will be fine and enjoy it
Unequivocally the best and most dedicated I have ever had. Hard work is both expected as well as noticed. I consider her class to be the turning point in my academic career with respect to my reading and writing comprehension skills.
You have to write 4 essays for the class and a lot of work in between. She has a strict attendance policy. Overall she taught me a lot about writing essays and is a good teacher. Be prepared for a decent amount of work and class discussions. For the final you get to correct/rewrite 2 past essays which drastically helped my grade.
I love this teacher!! She taught me how to use my writing skills in a better way. She also broke it down step by step on how to become better. I never thought I could be a good enough writer but being in her class taught me that I was better than I though, I just needed someone to show me how to use it.
One of the best professors I have taken at UWG! I have learned so many things through taking her in 1101 and 1102, plus she really cares about her students! She is very reasonable and works very hard to help you succeed! The material challenges you in a good way! Great professor, taking her again in the Fall!
I took her class for both ENGL 1101 and 1102. She is very passionate about writing and is knowladgble of the English language. Although her class challenged my intellect, it strengthened my writing abilities. You must put in time and effort to be successful. She is always available for help through office hours and email!
Professor Jackson has helped guide me through the perils of writing papers. Before her help my organization was horrid and i could never compose a proper thesis statement. She takes the time to speak with people individually about their essays and her feedback is always very helpful and informative.
I enjoyed being in professor Jackson's class. She is really great about giving good feedback and helping you if you need it. Professor Jackson really does improve your writing skills. As long as you participate in class and put in a good effort into your papers you will not have any trouble passing.
I absolutely love this professor! Until I took her class I had always struggled with essays but she maps it out perfectly and really encourages students to see literature in a new light. This class is challenging but the professor structures the material in a way that is inspirational & enlightening. Def made sure to get another class w/ her!!!
Professor Jackson's class is a wonderful class that will give you many writing skills that you didn't know you already had. Her class allows you to express your self as a writer but with a purpose. She pushes you to see you ability to do your best. Overall I completely enjoyed this class.
She can be a tough grader and it is hard to understand what she wants in her papers. She cares about you and wants to know what you think about the class. She is watching you so don't forget that. She is very laid back and this class should be a Easy A. Her midterm and finals policy is awesome!!! You will probably have four papers to write.
Professor Jackson is very passionate about her class and she shows that by they type of feedback she gives and help provided throughout lectures. Over all a great teacher!
This class is really intense you have to focused throughout whole class. You have to read EVERYDAY if you don't you will get behind. She grades super heavy & midterm is hard. If you aren't dedicated to English or don't like to read, DON'T take this class. Although she is nice & helps u this course is just overall hard.
Absolutely wonderful teacher and person, she is engaging, very accepting of your opinions, grades objectively. Keep up with the reading - daily short quizzes. You have an oral presentation, a mid-term, and an out of class final essay. An English class that is not politically driven, we actually read Am. Lit. what a relief. I highly recommend her!
Me. Jackson is a great English professor. You can tell she is passionate about what she does. Of course there are a few papers to write because this is a composition class. Engage in her class activities and you will pass this class. She takes time to help develop a thesis and strong framework for a good paper.
Great professor. Very willing to work with students who put in good effort, participate, and show up every day.
Very Helpful, and offers help outside of class. Also, offers alot of extra credit.
She its ok, its hard class to me because she make her student think really deep about thing and i dont like it because i dont like english in general
Shes a great teacher. She is available outside of class, and gives great feedback. Come to class and follow the rubric for her assignments, you will do extremely well. She gives you room for improvement, and even if you do bad on essays, she gives you chances to make them up. She also gives plenty of extra credit opportunities during the semester.
Shes a GREAT teacher, I would take her again. She really tried to help you pass and makes sure you understand the content and the assignments.
Professor Jackson is great. Her class is challenging, but it IS a college course. Just do your work, ask questions, try and you will be fine. Do not complain about your grade if you do not try.
Professor Jackson is a great teacher. No test, only papers. She gives you two opportunities to better your essay grades through revisions. Very reasonable and gives good feedback. I wish I would have taken her for 1101 as well. I would definitely recommend her to a friend
Dr. Jackson is a very nice person, but she doesn't mess around! She is is a tough grader with an approachable demeanor, so don't underestimate her class. The key is to follow her rubric to a T, and apply exactly what she teaches.
Professor Jackson was one of the few English teachers I dont despise. Ive never been an English kinda guy, but Mrs Jackson made it easy to understand and was very good about telling us all what she wanted! The Grading is alittle strange but it works. As long as you do what she wants you to do there is no issue getting an A in the class
I absolutely despise English/literature classes, but i have had very good teachers and this is one. Although, we had three essays and in the middle of the working, she would change the prompt by words and not write it on paper or present it to us, which made it a bit tough.
Professor Jackson is one of the few good professors at UWG. There is a lot of independent reading/research you will have to do and sometimes what she expects can be kind of confusing due to how broad her topics can be but shes very helpful and wont stop helping until you fully understand what she wants. I would definitely recommend taking her!
English has always been an easy course for me, but Professor Jackson made me work a little harder in her class. She is a tough grader, but gives great feedback. There is a substantial amount of reading and research to be done outside of class, but its for the best. Make sure you don't procrastinate, follow the rubrics, and read everything required.
I thought the travel from home to class in Newnan at 730am would be a pain, it wasn't. Prof. Jackson is a great professional knows who knows her craft, respects her students, and is respected. Grades are timely and she always responds to queries quickly. Book choices are excellent and affordable. I would choose her classes again in a hearbeat!!!!!
Professor Jackson was not my first choice in professor for this semester, but she ended up being very professional and helpful. There were times where I was confused by some of the assignments, but in the end it all made sense. She was always there to help and made me a stronger writer and analyzer. She has prepared me for future classes.
Professor Jackson was great! She was the first English teacher that I've ever had that really knew what she was doing. She grades quickly, explains lots of topics, and gives ample time to get work done in class. Most of my ENGL1101 class loved her so much that we're all taking ENGL1102 with her next semester! Not too challenging, only 4 papers.
Jackson is an excellent professor; however, the class was challenging at times. She is a tough grader, but it helped us write better. Jackson is available for help before and after class as well. Attendance is mandatory. There are three main papers and a group presentation at the end that is very easy! If you do the homework and try, you will pass!
I dont understand why shes getting negative reviews. Shes a tough grader, but she gives you everything needed to succeed and is available outside of class. Shes the kind of subtle badass professor everyone needs to give them that extra nudge to really grow. 10/10 would recommend.
AN absolutely inspiring teacher. I definitely carry heavy respect for her as a student. As someone who doesn't like writing papers, I would say that all you need to do is pay attention to the materials she gives you and the words she says. She literally hands you a pretty clear guide on how to get a 100 on every paper if you pay attention.
I love Mrs Jacksons class because she allows students to get involved in the discussions and does not just lecture.
Wow, what a great experience. She is great and this was the best English class I have ever had.
Great professor, makes the class enjoyable. There are SO many chances to get a good grade in this class, just do the work. I would recommend her to anyone needing to take 1102
Mrs. Jackson is very understanding if there are outside issues keeping you from class that day, and she also gives great feedback on essays and project presentations on what is needed for improvement and how to fix our errors. I enjoyed the topics we discussed throughout the semester, and developing deeper thoughts on "Love" and "Perception".
I went to her 1101 and 1102 classes, and although I did not need 1102 for credit, I had such an incredible experience in 1101 that I had to continue with her. This was a year ago, and I still think about how amazing her classes were. I got As on all of my papers because she is so helpful and gives very clear instructions. Highly recommend!
I had her when I was a dual enrollment student, and she is so understanding and caring. Everyone has to do an individual and group presentation. Make sure you attend all of her classes and participate. She is always willing to help and she wants to see all of her students pass. Really good class.
The only homework we ever had was just three essays throughout the entire of the semester, as well as reading a novel and preparing one or two presentations. No tests. Keep up with your journal throughout the year. As long as you pay attention and do your best, you'll get a good grade. She is very caring and understanding. Discussion heavy class.
Never in my life have I ever had an amazing English professor at UWG like Jackson! I took her for English 1101 last semester and I knew that I had to take her again for English 1102 this semester because she is just that great! She is very inspirational and gives great feedback on assignments. Three essays and that's it! TAKE HER!!!!
She's amazing! very thoughtful and flexible with students' problems, effective learning, you will get good grades by turning everything on time and listening to her feedback. Fairly easy and I really enjoyed the class.
I LOVED Mrs. Jackson. She is very caring and sweet and will work with you as much as you need. Just make sure to be consistent with attendance and participate and you will be fine!
Professor Jackson was such a great teacher. Her classes are so much fun with all the great discussions. Its a very thought provoking class. Her essay survival kit is essential for anyone intrested I'm getting better at writing.
Professor Jackson is definitely a professor that I would recommend. She has three total papers throughout the semester and is very caring and willing to help students any way she can. If you do your work on time this class isn't bad!
She will help you as much as she can. You will be better at writing. Amazing assignments to help you understand the lecture. Her Survival Kit is a life-changing. Take her, you wont regret.
I have taken both ENG 1102 and ENGL 2130 with Professor Jackson, and really enjoyed having her for both classes. She's willing to work with you if you don't understand an assignment and gives you chances to improve your papers if you don't do well on them. She loves hearing about student's opinions on the material you are covering. Would recommend!
Mrs. Jackson is a great professor. As long as you complete your work you should have no issues! She did offer extra credit during my course which was a nice cushion. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to take an English or Literature course!
Overall outstanding instructor. I am not even an English major but wish I could take more of her classes. Very engaging classroom experience, excellent material choice, cares that students learn and understand, passionate and highly knowledgeable about her subject, and always available to communicate with. I highly recommend this instructor.
Mrs. Jackson is one of the best English teachers I've ever had! She sets expectations so that she actually helps us along at each stage - that way, we know exactly what she wants and how to give it to her. It really cuts down on stress and performance anxiety! Her classes are more like book club-style discussions, which made class relaxing and fun.
Amazing teacher! Really cares about her students and about sufficiently writing a good paper! Learned many things that I will use in other classes.
Professor Jackson is awesome! She cares about her students in and out of the classroom. Her ESK is an irreplaceable resource that you can use throughout your time in college. Don't be afraid to ask for help! She is ready and willing. Plus, she doesn't make you feel dumb and supports your ideas. I hope I can take other courses she teaches.
Best English teacher I have ever had. Cares about your growth. Is so sweet and you actually learn from her lectures.
The best English teacher! She truly cares for & connects with her students. She thoroughly explains her expectations in the class, gives every opportunity to make a good grade and to truly improve in writing. All you have to do to succeed is make a clear effort to participate & complete assignments. I highly recommend her as a professor!!
Professor Jackson was great! I took her as a dual enrollment student this summer in an 8 week online course, and I would definitely recommend her course to any other dual enrollment students or college students looking to fulfill the Engl 1101 credit. She gives great feedback, clearly states what she is looking for, and replies to emails quickly!
She is awesome! There are only 3 essays and each one comes with very clear instructions about each essay. There are also extra credit opportunities and a lot of easy quizzes to help pad your grade. I do find the way she grades essays different than what I am used to, but the feedback is great. I definitely recommend taking her class!
Professor Jackson was a tough grader, BUT she gives you everything you need to succeed in her class. She gives you an outline to follow for essays, so follow that and you'll end up with an A+. Professor Jackson made an effort every day to make the class engaging and informative. Highly recommend Professor Jackson!
Professor Jackson was an amazing English professor! She gave amazing feedback for each assignment. I would retake her class any day!
Overall ok. Tough class.
Mrs. Jackson was an absolutely wonderful professor. She was very clear, and easy to understand. 7:30 is a hard time to attend a class, but she made the class engaging and fun. She helped me so much with my writing. She was just overall willing to help, in any way possible. I have never met a professor that cares so much about her students.
Mrs. Jackson is an awesome professor! She makes class interesting, fun, and keeps it kind of simple. She is very personable, always wants the best for you, and always willing to help. Only 2 out of 30 students in our class failed. I highly recommend!!!
I took her for dual enrollment and she's such a amazing professor. She tends to be a tough grader but as long as you make an effort and improve, you'll be fine. She also provides students with a free essay writing toolkit called the Essay Survival Kit, Be prepared to use it often and make sure to keep it with you for future English classes!
Professor Jackson cares about her work and teaching. She provided wonderful feedback on each one of my papers and communicates what you do well and what you need to work on. Class time is full of discussion and critical thinking. She actually teaches you what she expects rather than leaving you to figure it out yourself. I learned so much!
She is a great teacher and really works to connect with her class. The discussions she started made class more meaningful. The projects took a lot of time, but overall she grades fairly as long as you try your best. It was clear she wanted this class to be a step to our individual futures, not just another Engl/comp class.
Took Prof Jackson for Eng 1101 and 1102. I loved the way she taught us how to write in an organized format. In the classroom, she was very respectful toward her students and would help them learn at whatever pace was best for them. She was very personable in her approach to teaching and this helped to create a very engaged classroom.
She gets frustrated easily and takes it out on the class. She also talks about her own "art" all the time
Mrs. Jackson's class was amazing! I really enjoyed it! She was encouraging and supportive to all of her students. Class was interesting and she included her students in on lectures. She offered lots of help outside of class and extra credit. She answered her emails quickly and was organized. I would absolutely take another class taught by her!
I had Professor Jackson for English 1101 and English 1102. She is an amazing teacher who cares about the students and the subject matter. Her feedback is amazing and helped me become a better writer. I suggest that anyone starting at UWG to take her class (especially as a 1st Year), you will not regret it.
Professor Jackson is an excellent professor. She works with her students every day both in class and outside of class through posts and emails, and she gives clear feedback regarding her students' work. She makes it very easy to understand the work, and she is certainly a professor I would love to teach all my classes.
I took both ENG1101 and ENG1102 with Professor Jackson, and they were the best classes I had at UWG. She clearly cares deeply for all of her students and wants to see them succeed in her class and beyond. The coursework we did this semester not only allowed me to build important portfolio pieces, but also to network with professionals in my field.
I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Jackson's class last semester amd would definitely take her again. It wasn't a super easy class, however it was extremely doable as long as one applied themselves, and everyone was able to get an A. We learned things like writing, reading, and researching, all with a focus on the effects of AI on our future careers.
This professor has some of the most interesting assignments I have ever done. I took English 1101 with her and she used Meditations by Marcus Aurelius to teach intro english and critical thinking at the same time. Attendance definitely matters to her, but she is also available outside of class if you need help with anything.
She is one of the best professors I have ever had. You can tell how much she cares about her class and the students. Her passion for the subject and the works we were reading made the class so much more fun. Engl/Comp is by far not my favorite subject, but she made it worth it. Take her class. You won't regret it.
This professor was easily one of my favorite professors throughout all of my time at the university of west Georgia. She takes her time to get to know you personally and your writing style and how to work with it. She is great to take twice since she has basic grammar quizzes + a final that you can skip if you take twice.
I loved Mrs. Jackson. She gives amazing feedback on essays and her grading is pretty clear. The only thing that's easy to forget about it the weekly quizzes but i would 100% recommend her as a teacher!
Make sure to do discussions bc there's a lot and count the most. Do assignments on time because she does not re-open them. Not a tough grader, just do work. More homework than most 1101 English. she likes rough drafts and a lot of pre-work. fast grader! In her directions if you copying and paste them into chatgpt it gives her clues that you cheated
I LOVED her! She allowed us to make a connection even though the screen! She give thoughtful feedback. She can be stern about particular things but making a thoughtful insinuative to build a connection really helps! Overall would 100000% take her again!
Overall, I would say that she was very good. For my class all of our papers we wrote had to be with public art, that was my only complaint. Very good teacher, that truly cared about her students and what they had to say!
The nicest lady. Very chill, understands that this is a required class. Knows that not everybody is good at English and is cool w it. Good teaching and feedback, learned a lot! (lots of extra cred and leeway for missing class). Participate at all and she'll love you forever. Not an easy A, but a manageable one,, and she wants you to ace it.
Mrs. Jackson is an amazing teacher. She spends time helping students, explains every assignment, and gives you plenty of time to complete all assignments. When Mrs. Jackson gives feedback, she is gracious but also tells you the truth. She is eager to improve and keep her students engaged. She is one of my favorite teachers I have ever had!
Ms. Jackson was an amazing English teacher! By far my favorite English class as far as class content, however she does often change up her topic for the semester. I would take her class again given the chance, as long as you engage with her class, you will do well! She gave video and in-line feedback for the major assignments, overall, awesome!
Prof. Jackson was very engaging and made the classes fun while also teaching us and making us think.
Super easy to work with, not just in terms of assignments, homework, and writing but also just her in general. Her feedback was actually helpful and showed she actually reads all the submissions. I took fully online so I cant say how she is in person, but I would definitely take again as she seems like a very nice teacher to have.
