Reviews of professor Jennifer Degregorio

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is super knowledgeable and gives great feedback. You can tell she really likes what she does, but be prepared to read and talk about the readings she assigns. It will make the class better for you and for everyone else.

She is a very tough grader but she gives pretty helpful comments on how to improve your work and is accessible outside of class. I had class during her office hours but she was helpful in that I made alternative times for me to meet her. She gave me ideas on what topic that she thinks are interesting based on my interests.

PRofessor Jen is great! I actually learned something in this class, when I look back on my drafts and on my final portfolio is was actually an amazing difference. I did get Cs on most of my drafts, but I know people in class who got Bs definitely so it's not true that it is a system of Cs.

This class is really worth taking if you want to work on your writing. I was honestly dreading it, but Jen really worked with the studnets to do their best. It is a LOT of work. I'm not gonna lie. But if you want to become a better writer, this is the class. Jen gave so much feedback and has office hours. I actually got an A andI thought I'd fail.

I took her Nasty Women Writers online course over the summer. The readings were pretty interesting and It was really easy: 2 3-4 page essays, a short reflection paper at the end & 2 discussion forums per week. She was also very responsive whenever I emailed her about the papers and gave great feedback on essays.

You can tell she loves what she does and wants you to love it too. She grades papers essentially based on completion (it is creative writing so just hit the major points and you're fine) and gives good feedback on them. Do the assignments and participate in class every once in a while and you will get an easy A

It was amazing to think about women writers as a group going all the way back to Sappho, who I never would have read otherwise. I especially like the focus on intersectionality, to think about the way race affects women writers as well as gender. I met with Jen on Zoom to talk about readings. She was super helpful. Fair but not easy grader.

This class in general was challenging on its own. Theoretically, everyone gets a C on their rough drafts and then through revision you can get that grade up. However, there is no possible way that every student gets a C on a paper which is why I feel the system is not fair. Also, what you have to write about is so specific.
