Awesome professor. She is really understanding and just nice. If you need to take 305W take her class, you won't regret it. If you need help in your paper, she will help. She is very transparent in what she wants in her papers which is nice. Awesome professor. I would take her class again in a heartbeat.

Jill is a solid professor who is knowledgeable in her field. She touches on risky subjects in class but does not show any bias and they are interesting for debate. 2 papers and 1 group project with worksheets in between which were not hard. Would take her again even though she grades tough she is honest and is clear in what she wants from you.

Would retake class.

The first week she seemed a bit scatter brained but after settling in the class was great! She is very clear about what she wants and as long as you follow her formats and the handouts that she gives then your writing will be great. She didn't require a textbook and assigned readings were sent through blackboard. Awesome teacher!

Her course objectives & assignments are very clear. It's not a lot of work for a 3 unit course. No textbook, no quizzes, no final. Just a simple, easy group project at the end. She's funny, very understanding & always willing to help. Her lectures are easy to understand. You will not regret taking her. Would 100% take her again.

I took three different teachers for RWS 280. Jill was very passionate about her class and by the end of the semester the whole class was too. In fact, most of her students went on to take her for RWS 305 so she must have done something right. Great Teacher and offers a lot of help if needed. I would be really hard not to pass her class. Recommend!

Lectures are long and boring and class lasts the full time. You have to do a variety of different types of assignments and it's unclear what she really wants from you, tough grader. On the up side she is more than happy to talk to you in office hours and give you feedback. If you want an A go to her office hours before to see what you can fix!!!

This my first 7-9:40 PM class that has lasted the full duration of time. Lectures aren't important but mandatory. She didn't really communicate well what she wants to get an A. She is a very nice lady, and lectures are about relevant controversial topics. If I could do it again: not my first choice for an RWS prof.

This class was long and boring and hardly gave any breaks between the three hours. We had to constantly remind her as she lectures the entire time without break! Her assignments were long with hw due almost every week for a semester long project. She also was not very clear to what she was looking for. Avoid this class.

Very chill class. She's knowledgeable in a vast number of topics and always tries her best to make things clear even if it takes her the entire class period. If you enjoy productive discussion and ver few homework assignments give her class try

If you like to attend class for engaging lectures that make you think this wont be the class. Its very straight forward and she elaborates way too much on the same topics every class. if you have a job and other homework to do you might feel like sitting in class is a waste of time.

Great instructor! Super nice and approachable. Makes this mandatory class interesting. You may learn something more than writing better from the selected reading assignments. Most flexible professor I have had to date, although attendance is mando. Most definately take this class if the WPA forced you to take RWS 280 & 305. Highly recommended!!!

Took online class....it's pretty much what you would expect. Discussion Board and Assignment due every Friday. Some assignments include a Brochure, Advocacy Letter, Fact Sheet and Op-Ed which where all on the same topic but just different ways to present argument to audience. Would recommend this teacher is looking for online RWS305W class!

Its absurd to think that college students would like to suppress their critical thinking and label her a preachy professor. That is not the case. She stimulates thought and brings awareness to current events as it pertains to the course. She was more than helpful and the discussions make it easy to get passionate and start writing.TAKE HER! LB

3 papers total and in-class final essay. Fair grader. Readings might be demanding, long and even boring. (all Journal articles) but I really like the way she teaches the class.. I would definitely take her again if I had to.

Comment:
If you enjoy talking about politics all semester, this teacher is for you. If you find politics uninteresting, DO NOT TAKE!!!! This is what every assignment is about. Also, each class she describes the project differently. She makes you feel stupid if you don't understand her way. (This is coming from someone who always loved my RWS classes)
