An absolute wonderful teacher! She is always willing to help you and has such a positive attitude. There are no surprises in this class, she is straightforward. She makes public speaking less nerve wracking and reinforces ALOT. Awesome teacher and good person. Just put forth the effort and you'll get alot out of this class.
Very sraight forward and is genuinely interested in how you do in the class. Class included a personal presentation, group presentation, two exams and two papers. It may sound daunting but the work is fun and the people in the class get to know each other.

Great professor! One of the best I've had at KSU. She makes talking in front of class easy and straight forward-plus she grades extremely easy. The two tests are directly from her powerpoint and are also extremely easy.
i loved this teacher she realy wants you to do well in her class! very good teacher!!
Prof. Jersey is SO sweet. She understands that people are intimidated by public speaking and makes every efford to help students with it. She had us play games and do group work, so our class really bonded and enjoyed each other, making our speeches easier. I describe her this way: caring, nurturing, kind, and understanding. Definitely take her.
Tests can be difficult but she goes over material the class before the test. If you show up and give an effort, you should do fine. Not an easy a, but an A is very manageable. Offer to be a class leader, there is academic compensation.
I took her during Maymester.You got Self Intro(50pts).Midterm(300).Group Pres(200).Vista Discussions(100).Final(300).Attendance(100)/1000. Never needed the book she has Powerpoint. Helpful reviews b4 the exam.NOT a tough grader but work has to be done. Never stay for the whole 5hrs.TAKEHER!
VERY easy, very sweet lady. However, if you have low patience then i do not recommend this class. sometimes i felt as if she were teaching a 5th grade class...
Prof Jersey was extremely sweet. She is very approachable and grades easily. All you have to do is turn in your work, attend clas and participate in the group projects and it's an easy A. She goes over everything that will be on tests and always posts a study guide. In order to get that A, studying is highly recommended for tests.
wonderful teacher!! go to class pay attention and turn in your work and you'll be fine! Always willing to help and i enjoyed going to class!
Mrs. Jersey is wonderful! tests come straight from the book and we played fun games in class. WARNING!! if you get stuck in a bad group, you are thhere for the entire semester and your grade WILL suffer! its the luck of the draw, too, unless you know a bunch of people in the class. the end of sem. lots of emphasis on peer evaluaitons. dont buy book
i wrote below...i meant tests come straight from the POWER POINTS...not the book! dont waste your money on the book and if you do, buy an old addition
Jersey is THE BEST! Take her if you can. Easy class, make sure you pick your group for 2 projects wisely. 3 exams, study powerpoint notes from WEBCT, and if you miss more than 3 days she takes off points. But the class is interesting, and easy so go! I have the book and will have used it twice the whole semester. You should buy the workbook though.
If you don't mind chipping in for some group project work, I guarantee you this will be one of the easiest classes you take. I was lucky enough to get in with a pretty cool group for the semester. Mrs. Jersey is extremely nice and has a fill-in-the-powerpoint-blanks style of teaching. Tests are easy, final was a breeze. Easy A for sure.
She is awesome!! TAKE HER IF YOU CAN!!! Her class is interesting and so much fun! She puts a new spin on Communication. Her tests are straight from the power points. There is a cultural group project at the end of the semester but if you get in a good group it can be fun!
GREAT....GREAT....GREAT..LADY!!!!!!!!! Mrs.Jersey is one of the best teachers that this school has to offer!!!!!!!!! Her class was fun and she is always willing to lend you a helping hand when ever you need one. Try not to miss to many days and be careful when you pick your group for your projects. I would take her again and again if I could!!!
Ms. Jersey is a very nice, pleasant lady. The class is not really hard, but be prepared to do a lot of group work. I thought the tests were a little harder than they should have been, but there is a pretty decent amount of extra credit.
Professor Jersey makes the course interesting with many video clips to emphasize chapter points. A generous grader. 4 tests (non-cumulative). An easy "A" if you do the assignments and get in a good group for the team project. Bonus points galore available! If you have to take this course...take it from Prof. Jersey!!
I took her for Human Communication- I signed up for group leader for the extra 50 bonus points. The class was great- just do your work. You do have to show up because it counts against you at the end of the semester- but the class is worth showing up for. She was great- easy A. No need to buy book~ the final was a piece-of-cake. Seriously, take her
Very nice teacher. She had interesting subject matter and class time. Always nice when you get to watch the office. But she was not always clear about how things were to be done or what she wanted performance wise. All in all a good experience.
She was a pretty awesome teacher. Overall the class was easy. The intercultural project at the end of the semester was not that bad, just make sure you choose a good group. Make sure you do your work and come to class. If you pay attention you won't have to do much studying for the tests. They're really easy. Don't bother to get the book.
Awesome teacher! Very nice, energetic, and knowledgeable. I was not looking forward to this class, but I LOVED it! Well, maybe not it, but Mrs. Jersey and my group... If you are going to take Comm 1109, try your best to get her!! There is even the possibility of exempting the final.
Awesome. I learned so much from this professor. Do the required work, put forth a little effort on the projects and a good grade is certain. Her energy level is amazing.
Mrs. Jersey is so understanding and nice. Very helpful, extremely nice, high energy! If you have to take COM 1109 make sure to take her! She will work with her students and wants them all to succeed in her class!!
Best teacher i had! so nice very helpful an clear. rly loves her subject alot. her notes r fill in the blank ppts but before th tests she gives u a word doc w/ exactly wat u need 2 kno 4 the test. tests r not tht hard but if u study wat she tells u it'll b e-z lots of e-z extra credit USE IT! dnt rly hve 2 pay atten rly ez 2 prjcts not hard GET HER
She is thorough and if you study the notes, you will do awesome in her class.
I hate this class, I would rather be shot in the foot than take it again. She's a good person but she makes no sense and she's crazy
She is amazing!! I love her, she is so understanding and her class was fun. She gives study guides for all the tests and they state clearly what you nee to study. I highly recommend this teacher.
Ms. Jersey is an awesome teacher that has really fun classes but also a really great lady. She really felt like a friend as well as a teacher.
Jersey is such a nice teacher and very approachable. She has power points posted online so it is very easy to follow along during class. Make sure you pick a good group otherwise it can be a little stressful. She has review sessions before each test which basically tells you what's on the test. If you don't pay attention in class, be ready to study
I love this professor....she is interesting and reasonable...one of the best I have had so far....everything is almost handed to you...u must just read the material, pay attention in class, and PICK A GOOD GROUP. If not....ur screwed(a little). Lucky me...I had the best group ever.
One of my favorite teachers in college! Professor Jersey is so enthusiastic about teaching communications, and really wants her students to do well! There are a lot of group assignments, so if you don't like group work, don't take her class! She is very helpful! I finished with an A+. I definitely recommend taking her class!
YES! No doubt about it. JUST SAY YES! :D
definitely one of the best professors ive had at college..very interesting class and awesome teacher..TAKE HER!
She is an awesome professor. Very fair grading style. Tests are easy, all answers are from in class powerpoints. You have one group project and one essay, but they both are a piece of cake. You can exempt the final if you have a 95 or better. Overall, extremely easy class.
Wonderful teacher! Take her whenever you get a chance! Loved the class!!!!!!!!
The nicest teacher I have ever had. I dreaded this class but its actually totally easy. She gives you all the resources you need to pass. There isn't that much speech in it other than a group presentation.
This class was a blast. Always entertaining and all of the powerpoints are fill in the blank and posted online. We had so much fun and the tests are relatively easy, TAKE MRS. JERSEY!!!
This class was so much fun!! She is an awsome professor and makes sure you really understand everything. We did have group projects, but they weren't as bad as you would think. I got an A in the class and if you have a 95 going into the final you do not have to take the final. She is a lot of fun you will love her!!
Great class!! Super Professor!!! You will love her class because she makes it so much fun. Study the Power Points for the test and listen in class and you will do good.
Class is somewhat interesting she shows videos and does class activities/games. Tests are hard you have to know the power-points thoroughly. As long as you know every term on the power-points you will do OK.
Wonderful PERSON and professor. Just make sure you follow her crystal clear directions and you've got an A. Make sure you take this lady, She will add to the positive experience you should have in college.
Love her! Attendance is mandatory, and you definitely need both of the textbooks. Her class is so interesting, and as long as you do all of the work (which is not a lot at all), you will get an A. Take this class!!!:):)
Professor Jersey is such a sweet, cute lady. Definitely go to class, because you can only miss 2 days without penalty. There is one group project. Lectures are pretty interesting, and most of the tests are online. She makes the class fun. Not hard, but study for the tests. I really liked her.
Professor Jersey is a great, clear professor. She makes attending class fun, as long as you're respectful and don't interrupt. If you know the book and the powerpoints, you won't have a problem with the tests. Easy course to pass, at least for me.
Professor Jersey was one of the best teachers that I have had at Kennesaw. If you pay attention and attend class it is an easy A!! Tons of extra credit too. I recommend her.
She is very helpful and nice. If you do the work and the study guides there is no reason not to make an A. The class is very interesting and she does some kind of activity in every class. There is a good bit of in class discussion but she never makes you speak unless you want to. 3 tests, 1 project, and lots of extra credit
I love Mrs.Jersey. Her class was informative yet interactive. If you study, you should do well on her tests. Class is alot of fun. One group project, 3 tests. She is very trustworthy and will help you in any way possible. Extreamly nice. Don't be afraid to get to know her. She is an amazing person and one of my favorite professors EVER!!!
I LOVED THIS PROFESSOR! She is extremely nice and helpful. Jersey wants you to succeed. The only reason I ended up with a B was my fault. Take her if you have the opportunity. She is a phenomenal person and professor.
She is so great! The class is fun, interesting, and not hard at all. Yes you do have to study and do the work but it's all easy because she teaches the material so well! This is one of my favorite teachers and she has all the notes/powerpoints online as well as the study guides.
She is an AMAZING professor! I wish I could take all of my classes with her. She genuinely cares about student success. Her assigments & exercises are fun & engaging. One 5-6 pg. paper and 4 online exams. Although online, you still have to study.
Had her for NONVERBAL and she is amazing. Grades very easy and the material is actually very interesting! WIsh she taught more COMM classes b/c I'd take em all with her! Gives study guides and all exams are online!
Prof. Jersey is a great teacher! Limited public speaking in this class and lots of easy work book grades. Must buy workbook but not textbook. Tests are online and easy.
Professor Jersey knows her material and enjoys multimedia presentations. She's really helpful and really tries to help everyone make an A in the class.
Such a great teacher who is very kind and understanding of her students. Honestly, this class was fun and an easy A!
Prof Jersey is an AWESOME teacher. Super easy class, and she makes it intercative and fun. I hardly used my book. Tests are based on her ppt and lectures. Highly recommend.
Mrs Jersey is awesome! I had her for the Summer 2011 session. Her tests are straight from the notes and all online. BE A GROUP LEADER, trust me..you'll thank me later. Shes super funny and has a passion for her teaching. I made an A but it does take a little hard work. Defiantly recommend her!!!
This class is very enjoyable and a lot of fun. Ms. Jersey is a great teacher and is interested in helping everyone succeed. She includes lots of fun exercises in class and a very fun group project.
Best teacher ever! Tests are online and easy if you have power points. One big group project but easy if you have a good group. So nice and funny! Barely any public speaking :) I wish I could have her again!
She is an amazing teacher! Her class is so fun, full of games and videos, and she gives online tests. Very cooperative and super fun. THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly all I can say is TAKE HER CLASS!
Very easy class!! Do lots of group activity, it does get pretty boring most of the time though.
Probably my favorite teacher I have had while at KSU. She is super nice, is not a strict grader, class is fun, the tests are hard but are online, and she has a great attitude.
Really easy and fun class. All notes are straight from powerpoints. Tests are online, and there is a lot of group work. I wouldn't say an easy A, but definitely not a hard class. You won't regret taking her class.
Professor Jersey is an alien, disguised as a woman, sent from Planet Genius in order to impart superhuman wisdom to the human race. Drink of this fountain of knowledge!
SHE IS AMAZING! This class is so easy. Not at all like a public speaking class. SO much fun and I enjoyed going to class everyday! No textbook use. Only workbook. This class is the easiest I have taken yet! She is so helpful and understanding. She wants you to do well! TAKE HER IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!! She is so much fun and will keep you laughing
TAKE THIS CLASS! She is easy, gives many examples, willing to help you, and she is FUN! Definitely not a boring lecture class. She does a lot of group projects. Class setting is very open and laid back. You learn a lot without even realizing it! Tests are online, study lecture notes and you'll do just fine!
Professor Jersey is AWESOME. She is really clear about what she expects, is willing to make time to communicate what she wants, and is so hilarious in class. Keeps it interesting and fun! Test are easy if you pay attention in class and the projects are really simple and interesting!
She is wonderful and so sweet! She assigns reading from the text but I never opened the textbook. Everything is on the ppts. She goes through the ppts that will be on the tests and there is no class on days on tests. 2days of unexcused absence but thereafter you must provide an excuse. Do not talk or pack early in class. She will call u out!
Honestly one of the best professors at KSU! I really enjoyed her class. She involves the class in her lectures which makes it fun! Tests are online, all notes are on power points which are posted online, there are group activities which aren't to bad. If you get the chance, TAKE HER! You won't regret it!
Not too difficult as long as you show up for class. I had a lot of fun goofing around in this oddly structured class room environment. This prof is a must by me.
I loved her class! She is so sweet and helpful! All the exams were online which was a plus! I received a very high B in the class. I would highly recommend taking her!
Stupid class. She made it boring. Tests are very hard and she wants you to remember video clips she showed in class but you can't find them anywhere afterwards. Communication class is supposed to be fun be this one wasn't at all. Group projects are stupid. I would not recommend this professor to anybody.
Professor Jersey is a great professor, she is genuine and authentic and it comes through in her teaching style. She is by far my favorite professor and I've taken her twice. I wish she taught all Comm classes!
She doesn't teach clearly at all and basically all her lessons are on youtube clips. Near the end towards the final, I asked her what I needed on it to get an A. She said you have an 88 and you need an A on the final to get it. I received a 92 on it and she still gave me a B. I would not recommend any person to take COM1109 with Valerie Jersey
I recommend taking her. Make sure you go to class and pay close attention. She will play videos and do activities in class that she will expect you to remember for the test. Bring your laptop to class because the notes are fill in the blank powerpoints. Also, all of the tests are online and you don't come to class on test days.
GREAT teacher. She is so funny and class is always interesting. VERY approachable. All the assignments are easy and tests are online. Should be a very easy A.
I really love Professor Jersey. She is so funny and I enjoyed every class. You choose groups at the beginning of each semester and work with them the whole time so CHOOSE WISELY. You should definitely end up with an A.
She's not the best teacher, I'll say that. For a class called communication, she wasn't the best at it. She was very vague on many things. If you take her, write all the examples where she mentions them in the powerpoint. She asks specific questions like that. It's not a hard class, but she makes it somewhat difficult.
Fun class. I hate lectures and she kept the class interesting with games and activities even though you sometimes dont understand what youre supposed to get from the activity. Tests are online from lectures. I think i opened the book twice. I norm hate group projects but this one was an easy grade. Great class. I LOVED her!
Jersey is the best for COM. All her tests on online and she gives fill in the blank notes. She was extremely helpful when needed, but her course really isn't that confusing. She involves her students in all her lectures so you're never bored. I definitely recommend her class!!
Great teacher. 3 online tests based exactly off of her fill-in-the-blank notes. You do group work the entire semester so choose your groups wisely. Even with a bad group, you can very easily get an A. Not very many assignments. Need workbook but not textbook. You only do 4 workbook pages, for participation credit. Take her if you want an A.
Very laid back and easy going. Loved her! You don't have to put much effort to do well in the class. Group work throughout the entire semester. Choose your group wisely! 4 tests, all online. I used my power points for them and for some reason i barley passed the tests. need workbook, not textbook. Highly recommend!
No absence=extra pts at the end. My group was AWESOME so I truly enjoyed this class. If you have chose a bad group, you will hate the class. D2L participation is big so make sure to participate in discussion forum daily. Overall, Dr. Jersey was awesome. Made the course enjoyable! she is very kind as well. TAKE HER!
AMAZING! Keeps the class very very interesting. I took her for summer 2014 so it was a smaller class size than it was for her fall and spring. She is awesome and easy. Provides fill in notes power point style or notes style. Tests are online. I did not even buy the book and still received an A. You will need to buy a workbook! TAKE HER PLEASE! (:
She is the sweetest! She is truly a kind heart! Easy class to pass! Just participate! I was a group leader and it highly paid off in the end! I highly suggest her for Com!
Awesome Professor!!! Has a deep understanding of her subject, tests are easy and straight forward, will give time extension. She's a very sweet lady, she makes you want to come to class!!!! TAKE HER!!!! :D
Great professor. Extremely easy and gives extra credit. Tests are online. She does take attendance, but she isn't very strict about much. Very laid-back.
she is really passionate about what she does. this class is super simple. take good notes but dont bother trying to copy the slide because she goes too fast. write down every example she talks about because itll be on the test. only 3 tests and theyre online so you can look at your notes. no absenses extra credit. "big" group project wasnt hard.
Great class and lots of opportunities for extra credit! Always willing to help you out. Group project, 3 exams, and homework assignments. All easy! Finished the class with a 97%. Definitely take her.
Group project, 3 exams, and homework assignments. All easy! Finished the class with a 97%. Definitely take her.
Jersey is a great lady. She wants you to get a good grade. Apply to be a group leader. She gives 40 extra credit points to her group leaders and she learns who you are so if you are borderline on a grade, she will bump you most likely. Her tests are online and if you use the powerpoints you should do just fine. I highly recommend her.
If you do poorly on a test go to office hours. You will go over test questions and by the end of the session earn points toward your overall test grade. Do the Concept Review Sheets for the tests! It is the difference between a failing grade and an A. All tests are online and the group project is a piece of cake. Attendance is Mandatory!
Watch out for the first test, Show up everyday and take ALL her notes (including her class exercises) it WILL be on her tests. The first test is gonna feel rough but this class is so easy once you figure out how to take her notes. The tests are online. I recommend trying to be a group leader for the bonus points. She's kinda quirky but fun.
If you need help in her class GO TO HER! I got a 60 on a participation exercise and when I told her my group wouldn't let me participate and had members of my group back me up she gave me an 80 instead. Bring a laptop to class she does online powerpoints, and if you are told to get the Thinking Through Coms textbook DONT BUY IT its the slides.
She's a sweetheart, she really is. But she has a hard time conveying what she is trying to say (ironic) and her presentations are so incredibly boring. You have to mindlessly fill in-the-blanks on downloadable presentations and the only captivating part of the class is the entertaining skits she has people do. Nonetheless it's required, oh well.
absolutely hate her, I do not know how you guys rated her this highly. I chose her solely on the rating on this website, she's been absolute hell. making a BS class more complicated than it should be, better not plan skipping class or you won't get credit for taking the class, oh and also she's a complete jerk if you talk to her 1 on 1.
This class is soooo easy. You do not need a textbook for this class. Show up, bring your laptop( fill in the blank notes), and get ready for group projects! You get extra credit just for showing up, become a group leader if you can(then you get even more extra credit). Kind of boring, but easy. Take it.
By far the easiest class I have ever taken in my entire life. She counts attendance but there are ways around it. She makes it fun with a lot of group projects. Take her if you want a super easy A.
Overall class was easy, 3 online tests,however, they are kinda tough. Make sure to take notes and do homework assignments. You dont need to buy the book
She's a great professor! Her powerpoint notes are easy to follow, and her online tests come (mostly) directly from them. There is one group project, but it's not bad at all. Overall, this class gave me very little stress the entire semester. Also, she cancels class from time to time. Definitely take her.
Professor Jersey is a wonderful lady. She is super sweet and always willing to help! She is an easy A if you pay attention in class and do your assignments. I definitely recommend taking her for group com. Bonus, sometimes she cancels class!!!
Super easy, really sweet lady who's very passionate about what she teaches. Information is easy to understand, if not already common sense. All tests were online, so you should get an A. Once you start group projects, attendance is taken every class
Public Speaking summer class. 5 speeches total, classes in between include powerpoints and lectures and activities with the class. She's a fun teacher and class is entertaining. doesn't grade hard on your speeches and she gives great feedback if you go talk to her. GO TALK TO HER after your speech is graded!!! She wants to help. Midterm and Final
Very sweet Professor. Super easy class, but make to to write down her verbal examples for pp notes. Cancels class A LOT.
I loved this class! It almost made me change my major to Communications. The tests are online and you have lots of group projects. Become a group leader if you can and you will get extra credit. Prof. Jersey was very entertaining and I enjoyed getting up early to go to her class every morning.
Super fun class! Be sure to take detailed notes when she goes over the powerpoints, she gives online tests that are almost word for word what she said during lectures. They can be tough without good notes though. Be a group leader! It's super easy and gives you extra points.
Lots of group projects and attendance counts a whole letter grade. TEsts are hard if you miss one days of notes. Take someone elsee
When I sprained my ankle and could not go to class for a day, she took my late homework and even gave me a hug. She is the sweetest and is a great person. She is funny and tries to relate to us young people. Not an amazing teacher but a great time. Just review the powerpoints and you will do fine.
TAKE HER FOR COMMUNICATIONS. She is extremely understanding, she makes communications easy to swallow, and the atmosphere in her lecture is one you will appreciate. She's super sweet and the group project this semester was a cinch.
She is super kind and considerate. She is so fun and makes you look forward to coming into class. She makes you choose groups, which can really help freshmen make friends, and her tests are super easy and follow her powerpoints exactly, which are fill-in-the-blank. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER.
Pretty easy class. She cancels a lot due to health reasons. Tests are online and outside of class; no class on the days the tests are due. Dont get the textbook, just get the workbook.
This class is pretty easy as long as you do the coursework. Lectures are long, but you are put into small groups to help with the load of material. Fill in the blank ppts - word for word on the test, which are online. Textbook/workbook not necessary, she lets you type it out on word.
Sweet teacher & easy class. Class of 800 points: 3 easy, online(straight from your fill in the blank notes) tests each worth 200 points, super short homework assignments that total 80 points, 20 points for attendance, 50 points for a super easy, fun, & simple group project, & 50 points for providing a video clip that relates to your assigned topic
This is a class I actually enjoyed. Professor Jersey makes class interesting by showing funny, relatable video clips and having student volunteers act things out. She makes the class really easy while being a great and memorable professor. She canceled class probably 1/4 of the time and I was actually bummed bc her class is that enjoyable
Professor Jersey was a hoot. Class was always fun and she made it really easy to participate! Everything is online, but she does count for attendance. I didn't get the textbook, but the workbook is needed for some assignments. I would definitely take her again!
Professor Jersey is AMAZING. Her lectures are great, she makes them fun and interesting. Her class is an easy A. Bonus she cancels class all the time!
Missed an incredible amount of class meetings and is ironically horrible at communicating what is due and when. Class is decently easy, but you might miss a few grades as a result of just not knowing what is due when.
I have never had a professor as willing to work with her students as she is. I took this class based on a personal recommendation. She expects her students to come to class or if you must miss just let her know. I thought each class is very engaging and I was constantly laughing. Leaned very applicable knowledge for real world.
