Take her!!! She is the best English professor I've ever had! She makes every class fun while learning everything you need to know about english and writing at the same time! All the assignments and papers are pretty fun to do and you actually learn a lot. NEVER MISS A CLASS though. Overall great professor and I recommend her to everyone!

Comment:

Not the worst but definitely would not take her again. She is very sarcastic in a mean way, which Im not a fan of, and not very understanding. If you miss more than 3 classes youre out. Also beware of the on time quizzes, if you were to miss two or so your grade automatically drops by 2 letters! In addition, there is no extra credit at all!

listen. Be on time. Period. Shell give you mercy if you email her an hour in advance if you let her know you are going to be less than 15 minutes late. Have the book you dont really need the little seagull book however but buy the blue book in advance. Turn in every assignment, even if its incomplete do as much as you can shes very strict but good

Comment:

Shes a good teacher in terms of explaining the material, however, she is very uptight and strict to her rules. More than three absences ( which include you COMING to class but not having your work) and she will pull you out regardless of your grade. She is nice but not very understanding and very condescending. I wish I could un-take her.

Comment:

She was the worst teacher I have ever had. Can we say nuts or whacked out her mind. She loves talking about her problems in class and makes you feel less about yourself if you don't know the material she is asking of you. Very condescending and will make you feel uncomfortable every time your late to class. I DO NOT recommend to take this class

Comment:

This class with Prof Sebacher was hands down my favorite class in college. You read and annotate mostly for in-class discussions and there is an optional creative writing assignment that the class votes whether or not they want to do. The readings are inspirational and discussion is very low pressure. She is very wise and insightful about lit.

Comment:

After taking this professor for several courses, I am confident in saying that she is a dear friend of mine. Sebacher cares about her students, but she is also a no-nonsense kind of person, so if you're not willing to work hard, don't even sign up. She taught me much of what I know about writing today and is so intelligent. I love this woman.

She's pretty fair and upfront about what is expected and required. She's also thorough with her explanations and really pushes you to write well.

Comment:

This professor is the reason why I don't trust in RMP anymore. She's AWFUL. Thankfully I was able to drop her class within the deadline, but she's a crazy person. The girl seating next to me in the first day of class cried after the prof said we were the worse class she ever had to lecture before. She was so RUDE to one guy in class I was surprised

Forget about all this nices comments you see here. These people are trying to deceive you. This teacher will be your worst nightmare. Today was our first day of classes and she asked all of us to do a blue book within one hour about two topics and said next class she'll call the ones that didn't pass. So she will recommend those to leave the class!

Comment:

Shes really nice professor in the beginning. But once youll go to her class more often, she starts to be very sarcastic , and comments mean things in front of the class. And super strick on her attendance no matter the consequences or problem you have. She immediately will withdraw you by the 3rd time being ABSENT OR LATE!

Best English professor that Valencia has. There are grammar quizzes at times. Strict on arriving on time. took for enc 1101,1102 and lit1000. if you have trouble with writing then its best to go to the writing lab and get help. she loves reading good papers. Put dedication into the class and you will pass.

Took Prof. Sebacher for both Comp 2 and Intro to Lit. She is an amazing professor and one of the best at Valencia. She is very by the book and a fair grader; meaning that if you have an 88.9 in the class, you have a B. Her discussions are a lot of fun and you will make a ton of friends by taking her classes.

Absolutely love her. Was honestly scared to take her but shes very caring. 4 100 point papers and attendance is a MUST. Small homework assignments in between but she explains everything so as long as you listen to her youll pass.

There is a bit of writing in your journal, but it is much easier than it seems at first. Sharing poetry together truly makes the class very close. She gives amazing feedback and ideas. It is a class that I would totally take again.

Prof Sebacher genuinely cares about her students' success and loves her job. She is very clear with what she expects, does the writing assignments with the class, and likes to have fun with poetry. Be in class & always bring your homework. She has had a huge impact on my life and love of writing. I would definitely take her again. And again.

I am ready to take her class for LIT 1000 because she was such a great teacher my 2017 Fall Semester. She let you know that you were going to have to bring your A game. You can't do this work at the last minute because it requires detail. Follow her directions and ask for help and you'll succeed. The overall best English teacher I've had so far. :)

She is amazing. She has been the last class of my day for two semesters and it always flies by because she keeps us interested. Jill is by far the best teacher that I have had at this campus. If you are nervous about writing papers, take her! She eases you into it beautifully and makes it seem so easy.

Comment:

Prof. Sebacher is funny and very well versed in her field. She is big into group discussions and participation matters. Grammar quizzes daily, 10 questions each. Light reading assignments each week for HW. I liked this class and it was a good course to take if you need to fill in your humanities credit for graduation, an easy A if you participate.
