in class he just does alot of activities that have nothing to do with your grade. His essays are worth a significant part of your grade, overall a pretty easy class
grades essays harshly, a couple of easy quizes. pointless assigments....ok teacher in teaching....as a person he is funny.
His an interesting teacher. A good part of your grade is based on your essay's, wich are realy fun. He gives you interesting subjects to write about and class time is stimulating. If you're into creative writing his a good teacher to take.
Best Teacher i have had at avc so far. He was so funny and made this class very fun. The essays were a large part of the grade but the topics were fun and i enjoyed them. Beware he may bust out into a poem.....Ha ha... He was great. Best english teacher at avc. Also he may be famous someday so keep your signed and graded essays. Peace.
Very enthusiastic about the class...entertaining and funny. One of the best english 101 classes and teacher. Basically, the class consists of writing essays (well..of course), writing journals and sharing them with the class, many classes discussions, some clips, and quizzes based on reading assignments! Overall, really good teacher.
This man (Prof. Vejae Jennings)is truly gifted when it comes to language! Contrary to other comments, I believe he grades fair, if not softer than he should-especially compared to others teaching 101 that NEVER give A's. He is HOT and talented and may not be teaching for long. I highly recommend you take his class while you can!
This is one of the greatest teachers that I have ever come in contact with. His emotional way of teaching is inspiration waiting to be tapped in to. I RECOMEND THIS TEACHER TO EVERYONE I CAN!!!
This is the best teacher i could have got for english. i use to hate writting essays but he made me want to write my essay. The topics are easy and fun to write about. I recommend him for english 101.
Very nice guy- interesting personality- didn't learn a whole lot about normal boring english, but I did learn a bit about analyzing stories- very forgiving and helps you out a bunch- easy easy A- enjoyable teacher!
Awesome class. Take it...I actually wanted to write papers and he is a great teacher open to different ideas and perspectives! TAKE HIM!
HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR SO FAR. GREAT PERSONALITY, HE ALLOWS ONE TO BRING DIFFERENT IDEAS AND OPINIONS ABOUT LIFE, ART, WRITTING. LOTS OF PAPERS TO WRITE BUT THEY ARE WORTH IT. YOU WILL LEARN ALOT FROM THIS TALENTED GUY.
HE IS THE BEST ENG. TEACHER I EVER HAD. I WAS ANXIOUS TO GET TO CLASS BECAUSE IT WAS SO FUN BUT WE ALSO LEARNED A LOT! I LOVED EVERY ESSAY WE WROTE, THE JOURNAL ENTRY TOPICS WERE A LITTLE EXTREME AT TIMES LOL! OVERALL I RECOMMEND VJ TO EVERYONE. NOT TO MENTION HE IS "SERIOUS" EYECANDY, BUT LIKE ALL THE GOOD MEN, HE IS TAKEN, SO LADIES, JUST DREAM!
He is a great teacher...very open to everyone's ideas. He isn't one sided about everything. He wont make you feel stupid about anything you open up about in an essay, especially if its personal. I wanted to know about his life story - seems like he would have an interesting one. I recommend him to anyone!
I HATED WRITING PAPERS BUT ONCE I TOOK HIS CLASS I LOVED IT. HE IS BY FAR THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE HAD. GREAT PERSONALITY, FUN, ALWAYS DRESSED NICE. ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE AN OPINION. NO TESTS! JUST 5/6 PAPERS VARYING FROM 1-5 PAGES. NOT THAT HARD PPL. GIVES YOU TOPICS WEEKS IN ADVANCE. I WAS ACTUALLY SAD WHEN THE SEMESTER WAS OVER. AMAZINGLY GREAT TEAC
Professor Jennings is one of the best teachers that i've ever had! He keeps you interested in what he is saying, his way of teaching is what I like to call "HIP", he knows how to relate to students! He is passionate about literature and you will feel it when he teaches! he will work with you if you have any problems! HIGHLY recommend him..
he is a very interesting teacher. the papers are easy because they relate to one's life. he has so much energy and loves to keep the class in activities!
Mr. Jennings is one of the most amazing teachers I've ever had. I highly recommend him to anyone. He makes class interesting by changing things up every day. He's very understanding and helpful. The main part of his class is writing the papers which really is not difficult. TAKE HIS CLASS!!
one of the best english teacher's you'll ever have, GUARANTEED.
best teacher ive ever had take him forsure
Best English Teacher at AVC! Took him for 101 also. Papers are clearly explained, he is very helpful. Makes the class interesting and will make you laugh. If you ask he will rap and do backflips, no joke.
Honestly the BEST teacher you will ever take at AVC. He's funny, laid back and enthusiastic about his job. There are 4 essays and 4 bluebooks. I'm an English major and could only hope to be half as great as him when i recieve my teaching credentials, you'll absolutely LOVE him :)
greatest teacher ever!.really easy, friendly guy, and is really laidback. take him he is a realllllyyy good teacher.passed with honors..
Mr.Jennings is way cool keeps you interested easy amount of work 4 essays 4blue books in class group activities. he creates a fun learning enviroment. take him you wont regret it!!!!
This teacher is so into you passing the class. He really cares and answers emails even on weekends. I would highly recommend this teacher. Hes hott too.
Very helpful, very nice and was there when you needed help
This professor is an awesome teacher and makes time for everyone. He is very clear in his teachings and makes the class fun for everyone. If you want a class that is fun while you are learning this is the one. He is very easy to talk to and has a brilliant mind.
I loved his class. He was easy to get along with. He had a fun way of teaching you. Super helpful and always made time for you. His class was a blast. I'd recommend him to any one that was thinking of taking his class. =]
Mr. Jennings is a diverse professor with a lot of knowledge. Mr Jennings willgo over and beyond to assist his student with understanding thier work. I f i had to do it all over again i would . I suggest Mr. Jenning to everyone taking english at AVC. He is also easy to communicate with.
Very funny teacher, keeps the classroom lively and is very active with his words. Doesn't seem to want to sit down though, but his actions and motions keep me motivated to do my best and made me work hard. He was very inspiring, and a bit of a goof, but a great guy all together. I'd recommend him 100%
Professor Jennings was a very good instructor. He is very easy going with his students and very easily approachable for help at any time. He made taking an English class enjoyable, and we did alot of interacting with our peers as a part of his learning techniques.
Professor Jennings was a great teacher. He helped me understand what i could not comprehend. He made the class fun and made it very easy because he hardly ever gave us homework.
Jennings is seriously the best English teacher i have ever had! I'm the type of student that gets easily bored but he will always make the class interesting. The 2 hrs we were in class went by like nothing. He helps you so much with your papers but you have to put your part in it as well. I highly recommend him.
THE Best professor ever!
He is awesome, amazing, smart, very handsome and funny. He is also a poet/music artist which is so cool. I appreciate him so much and would absolutely love to take his class again. i LOVE him =) <3
Vejea is a down to earth teacher. His class was one of the best ones ive taken here. Excited for every class meeting! He's passionate for the subject, which always makes for a better class. I highly recommened Vejea Jennings for English
One of the best teachers at AVC. & by a good teacher I mean that he is a good person. He makes you feel like you're one of his buddies, just hanging out. He's funny, he raps, and he's easy on the eyes. Approx. 6 papers, no tests, buy the books! The class was great, you'll love it!
best prof. ever this was my first college class. helped with every thing very understanding and very helpfull. down to earth. over all great!! take the class youll love it!!
Do not take his 102 class if you do not like poetry. Other than that I absolutly loved his class. He was really cool, down to earth, and helpful. He dices up the topics so that everyone can understand. He loves to hear different opinions and he has a new syle to teaching. Definely take him. (And o yea, he is beyond fine, so be prepared!!!!)
He is by far the best teacher that I have had while being at AVC. He is really laid back and because he is young it is easier for him to relate to his students. I give him two thumbs up.
Best teacher for english 99. It was my 3rd time taking eng 99 and finally i passed. he give u easy topics to write your essay. if you work on ur papers he will help you. but he is to lazy to help you on the work cited page. Jennings is the best teacher his class is not boring is very interesting.
I hate English, but he made me feel very comfortable with it. He grades you more so based on content rather than your grammar. Despite being an early class I always looked forward to it. He's damn funny, charismatic, he will help you out if you need it. Great guy over all and if I had to take any other ENG classes at AVC he would be my prof for it.
I enjoyed this class a lot. This was my 2nd time taking 099 and passed this time. The essay topics were pretty easy to understand. He's pretty reasonable and is very cool with things. The class assignments he assigns also preps you for the essays. You still have to put lots of effort if you want to pass. If you plan on taking 099, take his class.
Jennings is a cool professor. No hm wk.Very little reading out of the book so go to the learning center before class 2 read the assignment.3essays 3green books no test. Class was always fun and intresting very smart young Professor.I wish he teaches 101.
Best professor hands down i loved him he made english fun and i loved doing the essays and let me just say i hate english i would highly recommend that u take his class he is chill and all ways there is you need help and explains things if you do not understand
A real good teacher I hate writing essays but Mr. Jennings the rapper made it fun wen were in the class he accually socializes with us as if were hes friends!! Great teacher well recomended!!
Mr. Jennings is probably the best teacher i have ever had at AVC! He is very enthusiastic and loves poetry. Very helpful cause he thinks its a "fight the system" class and he's always there for you along the way!
if all the teachers at AVC were like him it would be a much less miserable place. he is AMAZING, a teacher i'll remember for many years. you NEED to be able to write for his class. 5 papers, relatively easy. the only people who don't like him are lazy and aren't willing to put in the work. everyone should take him!
His class is a challenge but fun and interesting at the same time. Not only that he is absolutely wonderful to watch. OOh la la!
awesome teacher! Really enjoyed this class. keeps your interest. :D
Very impressed with not only Jennings teaching skills, but also with his wonderfully designed office! He is very helpful, and makes it very clear on how you can get a good grade. Participate and don't wait to do his reports last minute. In class essays, take home essays, and reading. Overall a fun and interactive class! TAKE HIM!
Great Professor make you think, is super helpful. You pass with a 97% there is no chance in failing. I enjoyed very much his class. Take him and you pass
This was a great teacher, If you really want a fun environment i suggest you take his class. There was not one thing about this class that was boring he keeps it fun and lively.
he is a good teacher he care for his students and will help u pass
hes very funny super awesome and his class enviornment makes you relax and able to enjoy english i always hated english but he makes it easy to enjoy. take him if u can i recommend it
Very easy. If you're really good at writing, you'll be really good at this class.
Makes English 102 about as interesting as it can be, really entertaining guy. Grade is based on your papers which aren't too difficult.
LOVE LOVE LOVE him!! He is a great teacher and knows his stuff. He is funny and makes class fun. We did three or four papers, but very helpful with anything you need. Take him!
I took him for African American Lit & I really enjoyed the class & I hate English. He isn't like your everyday professor, he is like your friend instead. He's young & live. Take him if you want a cool class with fun lectures.
I loved this teacher took him for Eng 099. He is a very helpful teacher and the class is actaully fun to attend. I highly recommend you take this teacher
Simply THE BEST! Hands down, this is one amazing professor! I'm so grateful to have taken his class! I learned so much about critical thinking that I didn't know before. In addition, he's like the nicest person in the world! Talented and wonderful! The ratings haven't lied!
Vejea is one of the best professors you will ever have. He's hilarious, and extremely charismatic, he keeps things fun. Gives you plenty of time to get the book and is very helpful with essays. He's one of my favorite professors I have ever had. He doesn't really take attendance and don't mind texting/eating. Take him. :)
Professor Vejea Jennings is really helpful he makes class really fun. he lets you text during class and eat as well its a easy pass.
Very helpful. I would take this class again, and the most hilarious Escher you will meet
he is really funny. need help in the essays he'll help.
Definitely would take him again in a heart beat. I have never done good in any english class. I am more of a math and science person but he made me love english. Passed not only the class but got 100% and got to skip english 99 and go straight to 101. So inspiring and time goes by fast because he makes class interesting and fun. Definitely take him
HE IS AN AMAZINGGGG TEACHER. FIRST OF ALL, THE WAY HE INTRODUCES HIMSELF ON THE FIRST DAY, IS LIKE NO OTHER. HE IS FUNNY, HELPFUL, CLEAR AND VERY UNDERSTANDING. I TOOK HIS 097 AND 099. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A GOOD TEACHER WHO GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND TO HELP YOU BECOME A BETTER WRITER AND PASS HIS CLASS, HES THE MAN!:)
Awesome teacher!!!!!!! He is super passionate and funny. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you will want to go to his class! Super easy class. He makes things super easy for his students. Take him! Take him! Take him!!!!
I love his passion for the arts
He's an amazing teacher. You would never be bored during lecture, he makes everything easy. His passion for the arts its wonderful I wish I could love it the same way he does. He's good looking too that made me wanna go to his class everyday. Easy to pass the class with an A.
It makes me sad to think that any small change in the course of my college career might've resulted in me not taking this professor. I feel like no review can fully do him or his class justice...
Mr.V help me become a better writer I took him twice and essays are fun to write, you meet with him and discuss your paper and how you can get ready for improvements for the porfolio final. His funny such a good teacher if you get chance take his classes you will be happy you did! one the best teachers I ever had at avc.
Great professor!! Only 3 essays and two greenbooks (easy). Picked fun and interesting topics for the papers. Gives good feedback on them as well. Not a huge fan of all the group work but it helped with all the papers. Take him!!
Mr Jennings is a excellent Professor Very understanding
When you problems understanding things he does his best towards being there for you . You have to do most of the work . He always reminds us that he is there whenever you him for his class. All that it requires is for you to go to his office , talk to him , and he do he will do his best for you . All that it requires is for you to show for the help
I am a returning to school 27 year old with a previous Bachelors degree. I had to retake English because it didn't transfer from my other school. The first day in class, he started playing music and I rolled my eyes internally. He is about the same age as me, this can't be real. However, he is a excellent, fair teacher and makes class interesting!
He is an amazing teacher! You will never get bored in this class.
Mr. Jennings is great! He's hilarious and keeps the class interesting. Unfortunately he LOVES group work. You likely will have to speak about your own opinions and/or the group opinion on a daily basis. A few Essays usually ranging about 4-7 pages long. Tough essay grader. Not many A papers given. But overall a great guy and teacher. Take him!
Prof Jennings is the best English Prof I have ever had. 2 out of class essays and 2 in class essays. He grabs your attention the first day of class with a nice and interesting monologue, he starts the class with music to get in the mood and most of the in class assignments are done in group settings. I took him for 099 and 101.
Do yourselves a favor. TAKE THIS CLASS. I wanted to take him for 101, but wasn't sure if he taught it. 10/10 would recommend. he actually gives feedback and It helps. he's super chill, funny, gives wonderful feedback, WANTS YOU TO PASS. even if your English isn't good don't worry you will pass as long as you do the essays and try.
VJ is an amazing professor. I took him for studies in poetry and he actually made it enjoyable. I highly recommend taking him at some point while at AVC.
Definitely recommend taking at least one of his classes.
Im a student that loves English, I was bummed to find out I had to take 100A instead of English 101 but going to this class has made me a better writter and has taught me so much. Jennings is super funny and makes class fun everyday, I 10/10 recommend him hes such a great spirit and is very knowledgeable without boring you.
Great teacher! Took 97 and 99 with him. Hes very supportive with your writing. His a teacher that everyone can connect with. Gives you great feedback on your essays. I highly recommend him.
Jennings is amazing YOU WILL PASS he does not give any kind of test, you want to go to his classes to keep up with the topics for the papers. He is understanding and kind. If you want a easy A take him! He will pass you if you do the papers 100%. The only way to fall is to not do the papers. The best English teacher at AVC, get him while you can.
Jennings is such an awesome professor. I highly recommend him. He helps you a lot to improve your essays.
Very interesting lectures, he really makes you think. He's available to work on papers and gives good feedback. Genuinely a good professor who knows his subject well.
One of my favorite professors! He was hilarious, super kind, and gave great feedback on papers. I loved his class and would definitely take it again!
Hes awesome
VJ is so laid back! If you want a professor that will take apart your writing and judge it, then don't take VJ. He will make you a better writer, but you have to seek out his judgment and opinions. I took him for intersession ENG 101 and it was SO EASY. The class was a lot of fun, and there were only a couple short papers due.
Awesome character, really helps you enjoy the class, he always keeps you evolved with the class, and definitely always available to help, no matter what the circumstance. He brings out your ability to write in a very unique way.. HE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF RHETORIC LITERACY.
Good professor overall and is very funny. Has a positive attitude in class and outside of class. One thing is that we dont really prepare on how to write a good essay we mostly have workshops.
GUYS!! this is the best teacher in the ENGL department!! he's here to help us move on to the next step. he is so DOPE! TAKE'EM! you wouldn't regret it trust me. i wish i could have added more for the tag's #givesgoodfeedback #respected #inspirational
Mostly group discussions relating to essay assignment. Made English fun and easy a bit of a tough grader only to help you in the long run. Excellent teacher wish he taught all subjects. If you're looking for an easy class take him.
Mr. Jennings was an amazing teacher! He's funny as well. He really cares and wants you to pass. There are 3 papers and midterm but offers extra credit. He responds back to emails fairly quickly. He is always willing to help in any way and will do so, you just have to ask. A lot of group discussions but learned a lot from his class definitely recomm
Prof. V as i called him, is an outstanding English professor & he's down to earth. He opens the class up with good soothing music, which i believe helps the learning environment. There is NO HW just three paper's in which he gives plenty of extra credit, so the only way to not pass his class would be your fault. Lot's of group work. TAKE HIM!!!
My favorite English teacher! Helped me to see things in a different light. Great teacher & very approachable. This class is an easy A. Would absolutely take again. Wish more professors were like him.
If you can get into one of Vejea's classes (they fill up quick), you most definitely should! He's a caring man who loves to connect with his students. His class time is fun and mainly consists of interesting discussions concerning essay topics. Do your best on the essays (they're your only grades!), and take advantage of his office hours.
Mr. Jennings was an amazing teacher! He's funny as well. He really cares and wants you to pass. There are 3 papers and midterm
No homework, three papers and youre done, theres also extra credit.
The best prof I have ever had. His class was so easy and he was a very understanding person. The only assigned homework was reading which he would go over again in class. Always available when you have a question. I would highly recommend.
Great teacher! A lot of group work and 3 papers due. Probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. I would definitely take him again
Great teacher I was referred to take this class & this was the best decision I made. He made me feel comfortable & helped me transition into being a better writer. Take him easy A/B just do assignments on time & attend class regularly.
Easy A and easy work. His pretty cool and laid back, you shouldnt get less than an A in this class because its so easy.
I absolutely adored prof Jennings! He made my least favorite subject enjoyable. Paper topics are interesting and conversations in class to truly open your eyes. He never seemed biased to one specific side of a conversation, keeping an open mind to both perspectives. Jennings is funny, relaxed, professional but above all else encouraging
Prof. V, is solid ! He tells you what to expect. What you need to place your focus on. 3 papers due make sure there on time. He gives plenty of feedback, he has a lot of office hrs to which you can go show him your paper and he can tell you what grade hed give u for it at the time. Participate in class he deserves it. I loved him mucho.
I took Prof Jennings for the fall. He is the best Eng Prof I ever had. There is no final(:. The midterm is really easy he prepares u for it you will need the greenbook. Its writing on what u read on. No textbook just the norton book used. No hw just classwork really easy.
Hes a great professor, he wont overwhelm you with work, there is extra credit opportunities, hes understanding and reasonable, he uses canvas, youll have no problems taking him for English...
Professor Jennings is an amazing teacher! I'm glad I was able to take his class. He is understanding and a great listener. 3 essays, no homework. Class topics help give ideas of what to write about. Very welcoming, and gives great feedback to make your essay better.
Hes a great professor, essays are easy and fun topics. He does like group discussions in class, so youre gonna have to talk a bit. Lots of office hours, really wants his students to pass and helps any way he can. There are only three essays, but I would still only recommend taking the class if you really love English. Overall, an awesome guy.
BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR. He wants you to pass and if you got to his office hours he will pretty much help you write your essay.
Honestly the best class Ive ever taken to be honest. I grew so much as a writer with his feedback on my essays. He gives clear useful feedback so youre able to get a good grade on the next essays, becoming a better writer. Hes truly funny, someone whos easily approachable. You have to work for the A, actually putting effort in the essays.
Absolutely amazing teacher! super open to all questions you may have and sits with you to work them out, he loves his job and you can tell! if you take ANYONE please take him. he is amazing, and is extremely sophisticated and professional.
Hands down best professor I have ever taken. This was my third attempt at English 101, and passed with an A for summer semester. He cares, he's flexible, he's easy to talk to. The class is basically 3 essays. He really focuses on the papers. Ask for his opinion on your papers before turning them in! He loves to read them and help. BEST TEACHER
Great professor!
He was a good teacher. Good feedback and such. Get the book. I asked to borrow a book from him on the final and he said no when he had 20 maybe. The book is only used on paper two and on the midterm/final. The midterm/final are graded based on if you showed up and wrote the requirement. Easy A. He has meetings for the essays just go.
i recommend him! lets u out early, it was an easy A, with just a tad bit of putting in work, still an EASY A. 3 essays, easy topics, put in work in the essay, he reads them thoroughly, he likes intellect and structure, dont force it, he knows when you force an essay to impress him, lol! i know. Schedule was M W 1-2:20PM WOULD TAKE AGAIN,
you have 3 essays, midterm and final but he grades so generously mostly everyone would get A's even on the midterm and final! doesn't take attendance and you're only grades on the essays so class time feels pointless but he still make sit very interesting. I wish he taught 102!! he's super caring and treats his students like his kids! but id marry
Such a great professor, I would definitely take him again if i had to. He's so understanding and gives a lot of extra credit. There really isn't any reason why someone should fail. He gives great feedback and has great personality.
A wonderful teacher. You didn't need to show up most of the time, but you totally should because this man has some spirit and it's always interesting about the topics he talks about. He gives good feedback about your papers and is very caring and wants you to succeed. Only 3 papers, no homework, and show up for the midterms for an automatic A.
really great and charismatic guy, the semester consisted of 3 major essays and is always open to help you with assignments
I took Professor Jennings Fall 2019 and he was amazing! His classes were fun, he always found a way to link things to current events in an understanding matter and grouped us up for discussions. He responds to emails quickly and always gave helpful feedback. I would take him again in a heartbeat!
Professor Jennings is by far one the best Professors I've had so far. He is committed to having students involved in his lectures, he is pretty funny but he does require real participation. His class is centered around critical thinking and developing your own opinion in full college level essays. 100% I would take again. PS. minimal HW
Jennings is an awesome professor. Class breaks down to weakly discussions and writing assignments. But the assignments make you think and challenge you to incorporate many different writing techniques. Very receptive during class. Feedback on papers was somewhat poor. He is an easy A if you want him to be, but you can learn so much if you try.
Professor Jennings is a wonderful professor and really wants the best for his students. There is a good amount of writing you have to do in his class, but he grades pretty lenient and offers a lot of extra credit, so even if you miss an assignment or do not do as well on an assignment or two, the extra credit cushions your grade. Super nice guy!
He's understanding of others busy schedules but he does post a lot of discussions and reading/film responses to do. He doesn't lock the assignments right away so that is a good thing. We had to right two 5 page essays for a final. He says the textbook isn't really necessary to have but it's better and easier if you do. Very good teacher altogether!
I had quite a few obstacles in my personal life arise and he was the ONLY accommodating professor I had. His class made me a better writer. I was EXCITED to write because I felt as though every paper was growth for me. He is so understanding about the pandemic so zoom classes are optional. I cannot express my gratitude I wish him the absolute best!
While everything is online he is not the best to have especially if you have an active life. He claims to want to be "flexible" for his students but he gives SOOOO much unnecessary work. He would compliment your work but then give you an F for the smallest mistake. A good thing is that he leaves the assignments unlocked for a good amount of time.
Professor Jennings was amazing. He was very flexible with my schedule. The textbook is not mandatory but I recommend to just buy it off of Amazon. There are two 5 page essays, and every week you have discussion boards and either a film/reading response due. He also offers extra credit. Do all your work ON TIME and you will pass for sure!
The homework is very interesting because he always updates it. This is a man that really knows his stuff and can teach it well. All of my papers were graded fairly and now I am an amazing writer!
Professor Jennings was awesome and his class is super easy to pass as well. Most of your grade is determined by the discussion boards, but they're super easy all you have to do is TRY in your responses and he'll give you full credit.
LOVE professor Jennings. Best teacher at AVC!!!
Professor Jennings doesn't make you show up to lecture but you should, he will provide you with so much help to complete your paper.
Prof. Jennings is great! There are two papers but you can submit it to him for feedback. Every week, there is a response (video or reading) Mandatory & extra credit discussions every week are always interesting and relatable. Zooms once a week during the posted times and you choose which to go to. Understanding & gives extensions w/ grade reduction
Professor Jennings is hands down one of the best teachers Ive ever had. He actually cares about you, your grade, AND youre mental health. Hes repeatedly told us If you feel too overwhelmed during this pandemic and with my homework, let me know and I can extend the deadline for you He also hypes up your good work, WHICH IS SO MOTIVATING
One of the best professors at AVC! Loved his class!
Honestly, this teacher was amazing. Not only is he amazing, but he is also very understanding and caring towards his students. He gives a lot of extra credit and his work is not complicated whatsoever. I definitely recommend taking this class.
Tons of extra credit! Only 2 papers for the whole year! Lots of short essays like reading responses, but what do you expect for English? Jennings is not a tough grader whatsoever and knows that not everyone is a writer. His classes are always fun and full of interesting conversation. If you need to get this gen ed out of the way then take him!
Jennings is really nice and is a pretty easy grader. He gives good feedback on papers, but there are only two real essays to do. There's really not many assignments, and he lets you turn things in late. He's easygoing and makes English interesting. Good for students who prefer someone who focuses on contemporary writers more.
Professor jennings is one of the best professors. Very caring and offers a whole letter grade of extra credit. Really tries to help you improve your writing.
Professor Jennings is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is so helpful when it comes to improving writing skills and makes the class interesting by including topics relevant to the world today.
This teacher is sooo damn amazing!! He cares about his students and gives good feedback! Hes really funny and understanding. He will help you with whatever you need. I would take him again!
This is by far and away the best English teacher I have ever had. Engaging, gives good feedback on assignments, and is extremely reachable outside of class. Can't say enough good things about him.
Wonderful teacher !
Vejea Jennings is perfect he was perfect, prefect everything about him down to the last minute detail he was perpect take his extra credit IT IS WORTH IT
Hes so nice and laid back I definitely recommend him, not a lot a of work whatsoever and he doesnt take attendance.
Professor Jennings is an excellent man he could have failed me but he gave me a chance to redeem myself & I really appreciate that he has discussion boards and quizzes, film and reading responses plus 2 papers he is easy I was thinking I can turn in my paper in late and get full credit but he takes off for that but just email and let him know.
Gives good feedback on papers. There are 2 Papers. Offers a lot of extra credit (really easy to do it no matter what!) Really good professor and very understanding.
Professor Jennings is an awesome professor! He is kind, empathetic, and also teaches about relevant/interesting subjects. I would take his class again. He does not rely heavily on attendance and his class offers a lot of chances to pass.
Professor Jennings is a wonderful teacher that cares about all of his students. He genuinely cares about teaching, reviews any essay you send him, and just wants the best for you. The amount of extra credit you recieve in his class gives you no excuse to not pass, let alone get anything below a B. Although I heard from friends he is harsh at times.
Notably very passionate for English. Excellent energy and able to engage well with students. Not a tense environment, and he is quite funny. Great feedback on essays, with an overall very comforting environment to look forward to. Reading responses, discussions, and papers are your main workload. Get used to MLA, you will need it. Would recommend
Professor Jennings was the best!!! It was obvious that he genuinely cared about his students. He gave only 2 papers, both 5 pages. Textbook can be easily found online. I definitely recommend.
Professor Jennings is a really nice teacher. There are a lot of group discussions in class but they are on the readings which prepares you for the reading responses. There are weekly discussions but they are pretty easy and the topics are interesting. There are only two papers with easy topics. There is a lot of extra credit that you can do
I really like Vejea Jennings, You can tell he cares about how much you learn with the class. It feels like it's impossible to fail, he's more than willing to work with you when it comes to possible absences, having difficulty with assignments, etc. wouldn't call his class an easy "A", you're going to have to do the work but it's an amazing class.
I LOVED professor Jennings! Please take this professor. He honestly always helps out and is always willing to accommodate. We had one midterm paper and one final paper and a paper in between but overall they were fun and easy. He doesn't require too much but we also have discussions every class that are with points so make sure to go.
Very open to questions and discussion in class and very helpful.
He gives lot's of extra credit and is clear what he wants on his essays, super caring and overall an amazing teacher! HIGHLY recommend.
I took him for Engl 101 and he honestly gets straight to it. He is a really good professor overall and gives a nice amount of Extra Credit. I would definitely take him again.
It was my first semester at AVC and Professor Jennings was amazing! You have to be lazy if you don't get an A in his class because he gives many extra credit opportunities. Only three major papers throughout the semester and weekly homework was based on a book and two paragraphs summarising it.
amazing professor, gives out a lot of extra credit so take highly advantage of that. the assignments are pretty straight forward and easy. this class is an easy A. I definitely recommend taking this class if its your first year.
Professor Jennings is a great teacher. Truly cares for his students and wants them to do well. He offers A LOT of extra credit opportunities, and we had homework due weekly. Very kind, understanding, and easy to talk to. I absolutely enjoyed his class.
I took Engl103. If you wanted to do the bare minimum, you could just do the super easy work he provides and not show up to class at all. BUT, I really do recommend going to his class. He's very collaborative with his students and it really teaches you about the material. Not to mention that he is super casual and easy to approach.
Professor Jennings Is One Of The Best Teachers Here At AVC. I Would Recommend Taking His Classes 100%.
Professor Jennings is an amazing teacher who cares about student success. Lots of extra credit opportunities, straightforward assignments, and weekly discussions. unstuck ai was a huge help for study prep.
I'll make it clear, this man is incredible as a teacher and person. Only a 4 because of 2 months of not grading assignments, but that might have just been a difficult private situation he was dealing with. Gives tons of extra credit as well as feedback. Incredibly lenient and understanding with late work. Very inspirational guy, 100% recommend.
He was so cool one thing I hated was he spent maybe 2 or 3 months without grading but other than that he was so easy and funny i never really went and ended up with a great grade.
I took Jennings for this past summer semester and he was a very understanding, insightful, stand up guy. As long as you're not using AI for discussions and extra credit, he is fair at grading. He offers extra support and help if you need it as well as extra credit.
He was truly an amazing professor and he made one of the most boring subjects, turn into the most fun hour I had ever spent at school.
He gives out so much extra credit. But he is a tough grader on writing. Even if you go for help, its very unlikely you'll get an A or a high B. Even though it was an in person class, a lot of the time he canceled it. When there is class, group discussions, have to talk out loud. Very nice person. Don't use AI, he can smell it.
He himself as a professor is great, but his grading is pretty rough for an ENG101 class. Reading responses usually are no higher than a C average, and attendance is mandatory. He's okay with students missing class, but it will cost you your grade by a bit. Offers lots of extra credit, even with that you'd probably end with a B, maybe an A-...
This class was hard to sit through. The professor didn't keep us engaged and often felt like he was talking to himself. His explanations made things more confusing, and he graded tough and really slow, so I rarely knew how I was doing. It all just felt harder than it needed to be.
I don't understand the previous reviews on how laid back he is.. He grades like he's teaching at Harvard and mentions how he'll be easy on his students who may not understand his format right away but has no issues with giving a D! This feels like an honors class. The highest grade I got on an assignment was a low B, so that should say it.
In my opinion he is a good teacher though he is a tough grader. The highest you get in reading responses are around a C but he does give out a lot of extra credit, so I managed to end with an A. He also lets you know what you can improve on, so the reading responses tend to get easier.
Professor Jennings is a true gem to AVC's English department. Besides being a helpful professor who wants to hear opinions from all of his students, so long as they are conveyed with respect, he is a true poet and will make you want to do further research on the topics you'll discover!
Vejea doesn't actually teach, he docks points for things he should be teaching us to and not to do. He was rude to a student in my class that's clearly on the spectrum by saying remarks and just having an attitude even though he caused no harm, and he's always stating his political views that no one asked for.
