Reviews of professor Amanda Jackson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Sister Jackson is a harsh grader. She is VERY strict about APA format and will doc you on every tiny little thing, but sometimes what she wants in papers isn't APA format standard, so figuring out what she wants is difficult. If she gives you opportunities to turn in a paper for her to review and give feedback before it's actually due, DO IT.

This couldve been a really enjoyable class, but instead Im claiming it as the worst class Ive ever taken. Sister Jackson is one of the harshest graders + refuses to give any explanation/grace on any assignment. She never acknowledges what you do + only focuses on your flaws. Im glad I at least got a C+ so I dont have to take this class again.

To be fair, she is a responsive teacher and provides great material. She is also the toughest grader I have ever seen. If you miss one assignment you're going to be making it up the rest of the semester and it will be impossible to get an A. On my final she told me I understood the material perfectly well but had grammar errors so she gave me a B-!

I would echo the comments that she focuses solely on flaws, and gives no grace in assignments and writing. This class is not about learning about marriage, this class is strictly and harshly graded on APA format, yet the grading does not strictly follow APA formatting. The explanation in the rubric does not allow to learn from mistakes.

Sister Jackson is fair and concise. Her weekly announcements are to the point and helpful. She is also quick to respond to questions

The class itself is great, though the rubric for the assignments isn't clear at all and the teacher grades to this invisible rubric, marking you down for things you had no idea you needed to do. I lost my 4.0 GPA because she was such a harsh grader. I wouldn't recommend.

If you have the grit to follow the rubric and work hard, you'll hone some fantastic research and reading skills. Professor Jackson helped me refine my academic skills, and she was always readily available to me. Her feedback was precise, and despite the challenge to myself, she had no reservations to be ready to explain it however often I needed.
