NOTE: If you are planning on taking Creative Writing, sign up for 2308 instead of 2307. You don't have to take 2307 first and 2308 has smaller class size and more attention to your writing. I took 2308 and it was the most fun and informative class I have ever taken. She is laid back, easy on the grading, and you learn about the how to sell stories.

Simply the best English teacher I have ever had! This is probably the only class that I can say was "easy," but I still learned a lot from! Professor Jocks is so passionate about English and writing, and that comes across in her lectures! She makes class interesting and engaging, but don't skip because there are a lot of daily grades.

What I though was supposed to be English class turned out more like a literature class. She makes you study films which made no sense for the general criteria of the course. A lot of reading and papers due almost every other week. Shes a nice person, but in my opinion not a great professor

It's an easy A if you do the work, and there's not much of it. Write, show up, participate in class, and you're golden. She does reviews right before tests, almost everything is a soft deadline you can turn in late, no book, and she's passionate and willing to help. She's actually published, too, so she has good insights into pro writing.

Lots of readings with quizzes. Must beware because those only are available for about 24-36 hours. Will not grade papers as fast. More like a literature class than a composition class. She will not start anyone on an assignment with a 100. She starts at a 95. Before tests she reviews with Jeopardy, didn' work as well for me but the majority it did.

Attendance is mandatory as its what makes up a bulk of your grade. The assigned reading was always interesting and the quizzes held afterward were never too difficult. There is a bit of group work, but it is possible to work solo if you're shy. She also offers extra credit throughout the entire semester. I would definitely recommend this class.

Easiest professor I've ever had. Interesting lectures and a bit weird, so at least it was interesting. I thought my 1302 teacher was a waste of time. I was wrong. Tons of extra credit basically for doing nothing, so even slackers earn good grades. Typical TCC high-school education, sadly, when I expected better and had higher hopes for her class.

The class isn't super hard but she's really inconsistent. Her grading is never the same, the quiz questions are always worth different points (and usually never add up to 100). Her notes are hard to understand and hard to read. She also either responds to email weeks after you send them or not at all.

Took Professor Jocks for summer 1 and the class was pretty easy. Only thing I would say is she will give a quiz over anything she can. There were a lot of quizzes which were easy as long as you did the readings and payed attention in class. Exams are short answer, only one was multiple choice. You're exempt from final if you were present everyday.
