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 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

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!

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.

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.

It was clear she wanted this class to be a step to our individual futures, not just another Engl/comp class.

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.

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
