Comment:

The most boring lectures, doesn't explain assignments-marks them harshly and takes forever to return. She also doesn't teach you how to improve in your writing skills but instead discusses things that are irrelevant to almost everyone's degrees. I actually learnt nothing in this course except that her grammar quizzes are hard and I don't like her.

Comment:

Jean does not know how to be a prof. She literally won't explain the assignment's criteria until two days before it's due. She is absolutely unreachable outside of class. Don't email your assignments to her! She has lost two of my assignments now. She goes on 20 tangents within a lecture. However, she is very chill about due dates and attendance.

Comment:

In my opinion, Ms. Hillabold is one of the worst teachers you will have. She is extremely indecisive which will make students confused, she shows up to her own class late and keeps students late, will not properly give you the information of the assignment due and will do this numerous times, and finally constantly blocks the blackboard.

Comment:

Jean is an OK Prof. however she does not seem to know what the rules and regulations of the English Department. She is not a big stickler on due dates which helps. However, she can be very indecisive and tends to confuse students. But if you follow along you should be OK.

Comment:

Jean is a very nice person but she is a horrible prof. I did not take notes because there was nothing to write down. She goes on these tangents that have no relevance to course content and always end up with her talking about her past writings and publications. The good news? You literally never need to go to class. Bad news? Lots of assignments.

Comment:

Loved Jean's class, she explains herself clearly in class and is a fair marker. If you hand in your essays in as paper copies I found she got them back to you relatively fast. I took her class at 8:30 in the morning and didn't attend every lecture and it didn't affect my overall grade.

Comment:

Jean is lovely person, but as a professor I would recommend. The grammar quizzes are impossible. She marks essays very hard and gives poor feedback to actually do better again. I would avoid, although she does do everything she can to make you pass.

Comment:

Jean is a decent prof. She doesn't know how to use technology very well and is very hard to communicate with outside of class because of this. She takes a long time to return graded assignments and often loses them and asks you to re-send them. She is very knowledgeable and improves your writing skills though!

Comment:

She is a nice teacher who is willing to help you succeed in your studies. Although her grammar quizzes are impossible, she marks fairly on her essays and provides valuable feedback. She will also accept late assignments and sometimes she will ask you to hand in an assignment again because she occasionally loses them. Just work hard and you'll pass

She is good at what she does and knows what she's talking about. Gives great feedback on essays. Grammar quiz is difficult even though you get 3 tries and she's a little hard to reach outside of class. Be prepared to read a novel and write 4 essays. Easy class if you don't procrastinate and rush through everything. She is a fair marker!

AVOID HER She does not follow the syllabus and her marking is really weird. I went to tutors, they said my essays were good but I got 65%... my final essay I added a part about sex and I got an 80%. She gives no clear criteria, due dates or reasons for your mark. Doesn't have office hours and is never at her office when she says she will be. AVOID!

Jean is very kind and respectful toward her students. She wants to see you succeed. At some points, the lectures were not what the syllabus said we were supposed to be discussing, but stay on top of your readings and youll do fine. She also gives great feedback on essays and the grammar review in class was very helpful as well.

Comment:

I dont enjoy english but the material that she picked was intriguing and interesting enough. One in class essay and then 4 out of class essays along with a grammar quiz. She marks hard but shes always willing to explain how to write better essays. Very flexible with due dates. Attend class so you know what the essay topics are.

ask for clarification, go to office hours after your first essay and let her explain exactly what shes looking for and you'll do really well on the essays.

I loved loved loved Professor Hillabold! She's very understanding and aims at helping her students pass. She allowed us to revise our essays in hopes of a better grade and allowed late assignments. Her grammar quizzes were great, they helped me a whole lot personally. Definitely would recommend her. I'd go on and on about her honestly!!
