Comment:

Professor is disorganized and doesn't get back to you in a timely manner. Lots of busy work. For someone who doesn't write fiction often, this class was ten times harder. Expects you to be a literary genius. Did not enjoy this class whatsoever. Also developed course as the semester went - no clear syllabus.

Comment:

This is my second course with Professor Jardaneh, and it was set up much like her intro to creative writing class. There is a lot of busy work meant to stimulate your imagination & practice the craft, but she gives great feedback and genuinely cares. Would take her again if I could!

Comment:

Jardaneh is very passionate when it comes to creating her lectures for Creating Writing for English Majors. However, her lectures can be winded at times and gives a lot of busy work. When taking the quizzes the page numbers she listed for the module we were currently in didn't match-up with the material on the quizzes and I got some low scores.

Comment:

Took Jardaneh's Creative Writing for English Majors. This course was both reading/writing intensive (lots of lecturing notes/videos/writing exercises). Very passionate when it comes to teaching her students about writing. Does not accept late work but gives detailed feedback (so long as "Grade" appears in the top of a submitted document).

Comment:

I thoroughly enjoyed her class. From what I saw on here, lot of people had a problem with it, but I didn't understand that after taking the fiction workshop. It was not a very demanding course, she had excellent feedback on the stories, and it was a ton of fun. She even went way above and beyond to be helpful for anyone who asked.

This professor is extremely disorganized, assigns tons of useless busy work, and gives useless feedback. Do not take.

Comment:

Do not take this professor for any class. Her instructions are consistently unclear and she can't spell. She gives so many assignments each week, it's hard to keep track of them. A lot of it is busy work that seems to have no place in a fiction workshop class. She gave detailed feedback, but that was the only plus.

Comment:

Prof Jardaneh is an absolutely joy to have as an instructor. Of course it is very writing heavy (creative writing class, duh), but Jardaneh gives thoughtful feedback on all papers. She is patient, kind, understand, and compassionate. I have loved having her and hearing her feedback.

Comment:

Her class is set up HORRIBLY. Her modules are confusing, she can't use the English language correctly, and she does not return grades on time. I'm so frustrated at this point that doing basic assignments leave me in tears, and it's only the very beginning of the semester. I hate myself for not dropping this class.

Comment:

I've taken three online classes with professor Jardaneh. Anytime i needed help she was quick to respond to my emails and gave great feedback. Her directions can get a bit confusing at times, but she'll clarify if needed. Her classes were pretty easy and would recommend taking her again.

Comment:

She will ruin your last semester at ucf if you take her for capstone. Save yourself and sign up early for a good professor who will be supportive, clear , concise and caring. She is the exact opposite of what an educator should be and obviously doesn't know what auto correct is. I can hardly understand her lectures and gets all her dates confused

Comment:

I can't convey how frustrating this professor is. There's two weeks left in the class and I have learned absolutely nothing. She gives long lectures that have endless typos, repetitive paragraphs and run on sentences that give no clear direction and if you ask her to clarify she is very rude. Her constructive criticism is unclear. Avoid at all cost

Comment:

She has an extremely bad attitude and is just plain rude. The class makes absolutely NO SENSE and if you reach out to her for help she gets an attitude. She said I won't pass. What type of teacher says that to her students? A BAD ONE. Stay away and do not take her if you want to actually learn something.

Comment:

This class is very boring. I don't understand anything in the course, but I am currently sitting at a B. I emailed her to let her know that I understood nothing and she said she doesn't read minds and I should come to her. That's the point of an email! Instructions are way too long and the assignments make zero sense. Do not take her.

Comment:

This is my last semester at UCF and this professor is absolutely intolerable. I have never been in a class at UCF where I have received less than a C and currently I'm struggling with a 59. Her grading is incredibly tough and she is not specific in any way. Assignments have endless steps that say nothing. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. STAY AWAY.

Assigns a lot of work that had nothing to do with the class. Multiple assignments with a lot of unnecessary steps. Not very clear instructions. Expects a lot since this course is taken in your last semester.

Comment:

This class was a struggle. I had to focus more time on this class in order to get a passing grade and had to take time away from other classes. You are given numerous assignments EVERY week. Ranging from 2-5 assignments a week. Tough grader. This is a class to take when your other classes are easier or you have good time management and focus.

Comment:

If you are not good at keeping up at a fast pace then I do not recommend you take this course. You have a big service project and you have to do videos which I hate because I am not good at that and would hate for others to see me in the videos. A lot of work. I will say this work can be beneficial but it is still too much for one person.

Comment:

A LOT of busy work and assignments that seemed irrelevant: about 3-4 assignments each week, 1 big paper,and an e-Portfolio. Sometimes the requirements were confusing and unclear. The book is basically just a big definition of what "interdisciplinary" means. But, a pretty easy class if you can keep yourself organized and motivated.

I really liked her. The best online professor I have had. Yeah, she does have a lot of work. But she gives great feedback, and is online all the time. She does grade a little hard, but still fair. Taking her for IDS 3934 in the fall.
