Comment:
Dr. Cash is such a sweet lady. Grading wise she will hammer grammar. Definitely makes you a better writer. Don't take this class if your looking for something easy. The class is a ton of work, not kidding. Seven novels, literary journal for each, presentations, and five papers. Attendance is mandatory. Get ready to read.

Take her if you want to improve your writing 100%. You learn a lot from her no matter what the course material may be. She is old-fashinoned and strict but she only has the utmost intention of making her students the best writers they can be.

She is the best professor I have had here so far. Brilliant but not arrogant about it, is open to discussion and more than willing to help her students succeed. She is also pretty funny sometimes. I highly recommend her! She is amazing!

Comment:
Despite hearing wonderful things about this professor, I found her to be a very poor seminar mediator. Instead of an open discussion of the literature being studied, the class routinely turned into "Jean Cash's Philosophy On ----." With comments proclaiming the superiority of southern writers and the southern family unit, she came off as bigoted.

I graduated from JMU a year ago and still think about this professor. She is not an easy professor but she inspires her students to want to do well and work hard. Definitely the BEST at JMU so make sure you take her before she retires!!

Dr. Cash will most likely be retiring after the 07-08 school year. Take her before she leaves. She is without a doubt the best professor I have ever had, bar none. A truly life-altering experience. And the smartest, funniest, and nicest woman I believe I have ever met.

I'm not an English major, but I still love this woman. Her classes are a lot of work, but do what she says and pay attenion. She's amazingly good at what she does.

I graduated from JMU 12 years ago and I think about Dr. Cash quite often. I knew she was special but didn't realize the effect she had on my life. She is so passionate about what she does and makes others appreciate the written word. She is a model professor, friend,and mentor. We are all blessed that she is teaching and inspires us to do better!!!

Comment:
I took Dr. Cash several years ago when at JMU as to challenge myself. Dr. Cash was by far the best teacher I ever had and I really enjoyed her attitude. Don't doze off in her class. She is not forgiving, but she will give you plenty of respect IF you earn it. I got more out of her two classes than in my entire undergrad career.

If you're looking for an easy class, don't take this teacher. If you're looking to get a lot out of a class and teacher, take her. There is lots of work and reading involved but if you do the work and follow her "Unforgivables," it's not hard to do well. Definitely one of my favorite teachers!

I took several classes with Dr. Cash b/c I appreciated her no-b.s. policy. Her "unforgivables" really helped my writing, and I learned more about writing in her class than any other. I'm glad she's "tough," because half of our classes dropped after the first week and we got her all to ourselves! :)

The hardest class I've taken EVER, but worth it. Tons of reading, four 3 page papers, one 3,000 word research paper, journals on novels... Dr. Cash is an amazing person, and is very helpful and willing to meet with you outside of class. Though you nearly die in the process, you learn a lot.

Cash is one of the best teachers at JMU. Even though she grades much harsher than any other English teacher I have had, she is always willing to help you and you learn so much from taking a class with her. Don't let the challenge scare you away from a great experience.

The best professor I had while at JMU. She thoroughly understands and enjoys what she teaches, which is contagious. Lots of work, but worth it.

The material we go over in this class is great, but we go through so much that you don't get in depth on anything you want to focus on. She does not know that you have any other classes! 30 page syllabus that really only covers about half of what she expects of you. The rest she randomly adds on.

Dr. Cash is a wonderful instructor and, yes, she actually TEACHES. I learned more in half a semester with her than I learned in an entire year. She is an amazing woman, and I will take her again. She has high standards, requires tons of work, and grades tough but her classes are beneficial.
