Reviews of professor Jessica Mercado

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very, very tough grader. I took English 131 in high school and passed with an A in the class; now I can barely seem to get a B+ on a paper. Very nice professor to have a conversation with and the material can be useful, but the way she grades kills me.

Fair but firm professor. Expect some heavy writing and revising, because for an A it needs to be top tier work. She's funny and you can tell she cares about her students. but avoid slacking in class. Outside of class she's helpful via email or Zoom. It's also very participation driven, both digitally and in-person. Overall, good professor. 9/10

Dr. Mercado holds high standards for her students. She genuinely cares about her students if she sees they care too. There are 3 major essays in the course but it spread throughout a few weeks. You receive great feedback before the final drafts. Dr. Mercado is an understanding professor, just don't take advantage of it.

She is very caring but also a very hard grader. Don't take this class if you're shy and also not good at writing. Also be prepared to talk in class. The class is very limited on points; only essays and participation. But honestly shes a great teacher, very educated and wants everyone to do well.

She is a great professor, she knows what she's talking about, you must put in effort.

This by far is one of the least informative classes I have attended. Professor tends to focus too much on her personal life and not the material, unprofessional language used in the classroom too frequently. If you are assigned one of her classes, I wish you the best of luck. Honestly.

Dr. Mercado holds high standards for her students and if you do not put in the work for her class, you will see it reflected in your grade. She gives exceptional feedback on your essays, the most detailed and helpful feedback I've ever received from an English teacher.

I took ENGL106 and Dr. Mercado was really great. It's apparent that she wants her students to succeed, which is why her feedback is so thorough. She's funny and you'll have some great conversations. The class has 3 major writing projects, so don't bs final drafts, because your grade will reflect it.

Literally one of the best English teachers I've ever had. She really cares about her students and she wants us to learn and succeed. You could say she's a tough grader, but really she's just a fair grader. As long as you try in her class and ask her for help when you need it, you'll be fine. Definitely take her class she's really funny and chill.
