Comment:

Best prof I've ever had. While her lectures aren't extremely rigid (she invites participation) they do follow a kind of arc, so that by the end of any given class you're actually excited to hear her conclusion--a very rare skill.

Comment:

J was a wonderful instructor. She was very helpful and genuinely wanted her students to succeed. She was insightful and it helped to take notes of what she said about each short story, novel and poem, as the midterm and essays were mostly based on class discussions. I found her midterm to be slightly difficult but her final was straight forward

J is a great prof who really cares about her students and will go out of her way to help them. This course was amazing with her. She does mark tough but if you ask for help before hand she will give it! Would take another class with her.

Comment:

J is a great prof if you plan on pursuing English as your major. She has high expectations for first year students, and does not teach writing styles relevant to other programs. Her lectures can be interesting, but often seems to allow her personal beliefs to shine through in discussions. First time for a grade under an A, & loss of confidence.

J is pretty cool. She is approachable and kind, and tries to make the course content engaging and interesting. She will make you work for your grade, but is not unreasonable. Overall I would recommend her.

Jeanne (or J, as she likes to go by) has been my favourite post-Secondary teacher that I've had. She was very straightforward - each day, she wrote the lesson plan on the board. Insanely approachable, funny, and really pushed people to do their best. She will always be one of my favourite teachers.

Comment:

Jay is very helpful and encouraging, and is a great teacher, especially if you already have an interest in the subject of the class. Her grading criteria can be unclear and she doesn't give very detailed feedback. Use her office hours and an A is very achievable.

I couldn't recommend Jeanne enough! Her lectures are very clear and she gives a lot of examples to make the material clear, and also a lot of information on what to do for the essays. She's always there for help and if you put the effort into your work, she will give you a good grade. She's definitely one of my favorite teachers!

I really enjoyed her classes and teaching style. She encourages students to think for themselves and to share their ideas in class. She is a tough grader but very fair. J challenged me to work for my A+ instead of coasting through. She provides a ton of feedback and is always available to meet with you if you need more help or clarification.

Comment:

I loved Jeanne as an instructor. She is one of my favourites in the English department. She is super clear with her instructions and gives really great feedback on how to improve. If you are ever in need of individual support, she will spend the time with you. She cancels class if it isn't necessary and doesn't waste your time.

Highly recommend. J wants her students to succeed and is available during office hours, after class, or via email. She is quick to respond and very helpful. She will not spoon feed you - you must be proactive if you need extra help. She has great energy and is very effective at leading class discussions listening intently to all who speak up.

Nice person but challenging marker. I would not recommend if your more of a simple writer. Expect a lot of reading as well.

I have taken a couple of classes with J now and I really enjoy her classes. She is incredibly knowledgeable, accessible and super encouraging to students. I have learned so much from her this last semester and am sad I won't have the chance to take more classes with her. She's hilarious too, and a really good mediator. Can't say enough good things

J is the most amazing prof! Her lectures and group discussing result in you learning something new each class. Make sure you read the reading! They are very thought provoking and her assignments have quite a bit of your grade riding on them but if you are unsure of anything talk to her and she is always willing to help! Inspiring prof.

J was a great prof, and willing to help students during class and further during office hours. She wants you to succeed and understand. Assignments, midterms, and essays were good, put in the effort and you'll easily get a good grade. All her classes were interesting and engaging. She's very respectful and openminded to different opinions.

Jeanne is a fabulous professor. She genuinely wants her students to improve, and gives very helpful notes. Marking was very fair. I felt like I deserved the grade I got on assignments after she explained why, and I consistently improved. She is very fun and bubbly and I always looked forward to her class. Very informative and interesting class.

Comment:

Dr. J is a cool cat and someone I wouldn't mind having a beer with, but she expects a lot of work to be done. Multiple readings for every class, and if you don't have time to do them, there is little point in going to that class as you'll just look like a fool in group discussion.

Incredible teacher. She has so much passion. She adapts her classes to what works for what program you are taking. She does not use a textbook but a coursepack. She is very kind and understanding if you cant get an assignment in on time. Due dates are by 11:59pm online on the day, instead of in class.

Fantastic teacher. Will go above and beyond for students. She found out I was a history student and gave me a ton of books and info on essay writing in history format. Forgave a lot of errors in my writing Chicago in a class writing MLA format. So helpful! I have already recommended people take her class!
