Reviews of professor Jessica Hughes

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Took this class for credit. You can tell that professor Hughes is a kind person, but the workload is too much, and left me struggling. 2,500-3,000 word essays were assigned on mondays , and due fridays. Not considerate of students having other work, and other classes to do work for. She also takes a long time to reply to messages.

I had English 101 with her and the class was super easy the tests had nothing to do with the in class assignments. But I had to come here to say this woman 100% pushed her opinions on people. To do that to a bunch of 18 -19 year olds and molding there brains based off of ur own opinions felt like I was being brain washed.

By far the worst prof I have encountered at Ville. Does not grade ANYTHING until last minute and she decided how she was going to weight the grading scale when final grades were due. She does not answer emails. Extreme amount of reading. Projects aren't clear. I went to her for help, she made me cry. Do NOT recommend anything with her teaching it.

She is nice and doesn't give out too much work. However there are essays from time to time (min word count 2,500 *8 pages*) where it feels like we need to rush in a week's time frame. Fortunately, she takes us step by step and allowed me an extension since I was busy on one of the days.

Took her online only course and was nervous. Syllabus looked like there was going to be so much to do in so little time. Prof Hughes is so understanding and her grading/work is reasonable. Essays are sort of hard, but if you really try to grasp the material you should be fine! 3 "units" in one semester w/ 1 essay & quiz each. Readings are provided.

Gave me the confidence to tackle the rest of my college education. The best english teacher I have ever had.

She is a nice person for the most part and I want to give her the benefit of the doubt because it's her first year, but her reviews from her previous schools are just as bad. Too much work for what's supposed to be an intro class and most of what we learned, although interesting, is not really important or on topic for the comm major.

what she wants tends to be unclear. she is a chronic micromanager. has the best intentions and is very sweet, but generally speaking she misses the mark teaching wise. She's confused but she's got spirit. her d2l is an NIGHTMARE. just do the work on time and you'll get through it. class is optional which i appreciate

Expect a lot of reading and writing/typing. English was never my strong suit but after this class it changed my view on it. Professor Hughes will give you useful and thoughtful feedbacks on your work. I remember we spent around 2 hours in a zoom meeting reviewing my paper. Put in the effort into your work and you will receive a good grade.
