Reviews of professor Jennifer McGaha

Nice lady overall, classes were fine, a little off topic at times but who doesn't love a good nature walk sometimes lol, If you participate you will be fine, I promise!

She gave us clear guidelines at the beginning of the semester. She used a grading contract as well. She gave really great feedback for writing papers and she was hilarious. Super sweet and she really wanted everyone to pass, but it was up to you on what grade you made. I recommend for Lang120

Professor McGaha assigned many books to read. She also gave us many writing prompts but no clear guide to how to write better or what she expected. The feedback on our papers were unclear at times. The class is somewhat easy with moodle posts, four papers, and presentation at the end, but I ended up having to teach myself actual writing skills.

Jennifer is the best! All of her criteria is laid out at the beginning of the semester and she sticks to it. You have multiple chances to submit papers and get an A, she grades based on completion, and as long as you turn in the appropriate work, you will get an A. No complaints about Professor McGaha, she is my favorite teacher!

I expected to hate her class since I didn't have a good track record when it came to writing, but it ended up being one of my favorite classes I've taken so far at UNCA. Not sure if she still does the "Food" theme for LANG120, but that ended up being a lot of fun. McGaha seemed like an easy grader to me, and the class was pretty relaxed.

She is an amazing professor, but not the best when it comes to trying to reach her outside the class room. When reaching out for help or questions, it takes a while for her to get back to you, and she has the habit of shot answers, or telling you to go somewhere else. Make sure you're pretty independent for her course.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend professor McGaha. Her lectures and materials are easily accessible to anyone willing to put in the effort. My only concern is, if you want someone who is frequently on campus, or who grades very quickly, she writes actively and only teaches 2 or 3 classes a semester, so know that going on.

Prof. McGaha is the best! She has clear grading criteria, and even allows revisions if so needed. LANG120 with her is enjoyable and easy.
