Comment:

She was a really nice professor and really wanted you to learn. She does grade kind of harsh, but gives so much feedback so you can keep improving. It seems that her English 15 class had a lot less work than all of the others. It was primarily essays (due about every 3 to 4 weeks) and small in class stuff.

Comment:

Professor Brown is so sweet and caring. You are able to voice your opinion and she will listen. However, she is a tough grader. You most likely will not receive an A on a paper. However, as long as you stay engaged with the class and actually put fourth the effort you should recieve a good grade.

Comment:

Prof Brown is very nice and very willing to help. Be prepared to have your papers ripped apart. If you are use to getting A's on papers, be prepared not to do as well. She provides a lot of feedback on drafts with tons of ink. Do not get discouraged. If you put in the effort, so will she and you will be fine. Show up to class participation matters.

Comment:

Class is pretty easy, but sometimes you think your grade will be better and it's not. Her grading scale is out of 5 sections on the papers, so if you get a 4 out of 5 on each you only get a 15/20, but class is pretty easy for the most part, some reading assignment here and there, but definitely not too hard.

Comment:

Took creative writing and i thought it would be all writing poems and short stories but you actually have to analyze poems and short stories. Very sweet lady but her class is unorganized and confusing. She doesn't explain the hw well. If you don't need it for your major it's more work than it's worth. Need textbook for hw. DOESN'T ACCEPT LATE WORK.

Comment:

She's a kind person but never 100% clear on what you're supposed to write about. I never left the class feeling comfortable about what the assignment was. If you're looking for an A, don't take her. She looks for reasons not to give out A's and is unclear about what to change to better your next paper. If you have to take ENGL 15 find another prof.

Very nice and always happy to help. Class seems kind of useless. It would suit more as an online course if anything. She is unorganized and does give you updated versions of the syllabus every so often.

Comment:

Although she was a very nice person, she did not AT ALL present herself as a prepared or organized professor. She constantly needed reminding about what was due and when. There was no structure to her class when it came to assignments. She tried to keep the class casual but then graded us VERY VERY harshly, which we never expected. No guidelines

Comment:

Mrs. Brown is an excellent teacher. Shes a little on the boring side, but shes very helpful. She also does a lot of useless work like revise the paper 12 times, but in the long run it helps out a lot, even though its annoying. Shes a great english teacher! Taking her class improved my writting skills a lot.

Comment:

She tells a story of how when she was in college she had a professor who would not give you a good grade unless you wrote in the exact style that she wrote in. This is exactly how Jayne Brown is. She doesn't give you a good grade on papers if you have not had her for a previous class. She is my second least favorite teacher on campus. i hate her

Jayne Brown is a tremendous teacher. If you do the work for her class and know at all what you're doing when it comes to English you'll do fine. I warn you though listen to what she says or else you won't do good. Also she's a very nice lady and there isn't too much hw in her class.
