Comment:
As an English major, I can attest that my grade in Venn's class was a good 20% below my next lowest grade in the same subject. I took her course in my final year and felt confident in my ability to analyze texts and to write effectively, having received A's in ALL my other English classes. When I asked for help, my grade went down. Buyer beware!

Comment:
Professor Venn, is extremely helpful and clear when it comes to what she requires of students. If you follow her guidelines, you will definitely get a good mark. Her marking scheme is fair and she provides lots of helpful comments so you can improve your work for the next assignment. She is very straightforward which is hard to find these days.

Comment:
Hardest Prof I ever had! She though English was not my first language and yet I am an English Major. How did I live throughout three years of English and never failed an English course if my writing is that bad? Marking is difficult as hell although the course material I thought was very good. She TRIES to help but doesn't realize she's not.

Comment:
Dr. Venn is amazing! She is one of the only professors that has taken the time to encourage my writing. Her lectures notes really make you interested in the material. She is a hard marker but if you listen to her assignment instructions (and follow them) you can receive an A in her course.

Comment:
I disagree strongly with all the stubborn comments and reviews on Dr.Venn. I find her a very intelligent and helpful instructor as well as an amazing person. She not only helps with the community but helps students grow as individuals. Rude comments towards Dr.Venn are clearly coming from the students with low grades in her courses.

Comment:
The worst professor I've ever had, in any course and faculty, by far. She has a lot to teach, and occasionally says something intelligent, but hasn't the slightest idea of how to lecture or how she comes across to students. She marks too hard for someone who doesn't bother to help you improve afterwards. The TA taught me more. RUN FOR THE HILLS.

Dr. Venn is very knowledgeable! However, she is unhelpful. I dont know a prof who shows her frustration to students. Announcement: "This tells me(the reader)that you think I do not know what themeaning of your word is.Hmm, what are the odds of that If I do NOT know your word I've got the goods to look it up but I promise you I know a lot of words!

Comment:
If marks aren't your concern this will be great for you. Compliments students on how "proud [she] is of the sophisticated discussions," and then post a class average of borderline fail. Readings are interesting, and you will work your ass off...just not get the marks for it

Comment:
Type A, passive-aggressive personality. She marks based on what she knows, not what you know, and is threatened by by intelligent or knowledgeable students. Plays videos in lectures to use that time marking course work. Poor student interaction. Plays favourites, based on seemingly superficial and arbitrary qualities (i.e. non-threat students).

An absolutely terrible experience. I took it distance ed so her notes were excellent. The assistance she offered previous to handing in essays was not actually useful. Brutal marker, the exam saved me. PLEASE AVOID HER LIKE THE PLAGUE.

I just startled classes with Jennifer Venn and already, she's easily one of my favourite profs this term. She's funny, quirky, interesting, knowledgeable, and she makes monday night classes something to really look forward to! Thanks, Professor Venn! :)

Comment:
Professor Venn was an excellent instructor delivering more value from the course than I expected, with a contagious passion for Literature which I wish more instructors would display. From the first class her overview of the works to be covered fired up my anticipation. I will definitely take another course from her if the opportunity arises.
