Comment:
Not happy at all. She let's her opinions get in the way of her teaching. Pronounces so many names wrong in both Mythology and Shakespeare. Very test heavy. The ONLY grades in Mythology are test, and her tests are insanely out of the box and ask the stupidest little details. Doesn't always know the content of what she's teaching. Would not recommend

Her class is hard like really hard. I promise you if you can understand Oedipus and other type of plays like Hamlet, or Dances inferno. I know she changes her courses every semester and its hard to keep up and understand each text given. I had a hard time and I read every single text for her class first part of the semester and still a B.

Dr. Jacobs is cool! Loved her lectures on Shakespeare! Her test are pretty okay as long as you read the plays very well. I would recommend reading the translations of the plays and connecting them to notes you take in class in order to do good on her test. You cant miss more than 4 classes if not she takes points from your overall grade. Take her!

On my final research paper, she gave me a low grade with hardly any feedback. All she said was she didn't agree with my argument, even though I had more than the required scholarly resources to back me up. I will avoid taking her again if it can be avoided.

I have had Dr. Jacobs for 4 classes and I adore her. She is very high spirited and enthusiastic. She is the smartest person I know. You must read the assignments thoroughly in her lit classes but if you do you will have no problems on he tests. I took her for ENG 315 and she taught me to love poetry!

Dr. Jacobs was an amazing professor. My friend and I were in her honors class and it was so much more fun than we expected. We were with her when we found out her son died, but she pulled through and taught like nothing had happened. Very knowledgeable, but be ready to read and write papers! Loved her!

Dr. Jacobs is extremely knowledgeable in her field. She brings exuberance and a thrill for the subject matter to the class. She is demanding, however, and those who are looking for an easy A might want to look elsewhere.

She is awesome! She made what I thought were going to be dry, boring books into fun reads. Very easy to work with. Quick to respond to questions via email.

don't understand the Shakespeare plays. She doesn't explain things and we could use some help. why not try to communicate more with her class and find out how much she's not helping us?

What a disappointment! Much of the class is meandering, and there are talks about other people that sound gossipy. I would like for us to discuss Shakespeare.

Comment:
Dr. Jacobs is by far the most overqualified professor at TAMUC. She should be the department head if she wants the job. She has a Masters and Doctorial degree in English from HARVARD. If that is not impressive enough, she is one of the best English proffs I have ever had. She cares about the students and makes class interesting.

The readings are interesting, but I don't like the way she talks about other people, including fellow teachers during class. Could be a fun class, but the gossiping is very unprofessional.

Dr. Jacobs has to be the most intelligent person I've ever known! I always wondered how she ended up in Commerce, Tx. She always kept class interesting and really "taught" the readings! When I wanted to give up on the whole---job, husband, kid, AND COLLEGE thing, she inspired me to keep going. BTW, as soon as I walked, I gave up the husband.
