It says more about the student body at Queen's than it does about Dr. Jolly that her ratings are so low.

Comment:
If you want to witness colonial guilt oozing with pretension, exclusive academic self-serving language, and feel alienated from anything approximating meaningful engagement with a 'post-colonial' author, take this professor's course. Be suspicious of all the long words. Axes be ground, Southeastern Ontario style.

Comment:
Her course is relevant, engaging and unnerving. She demands that you step outside pure critical analysis and question why you are writing said essay to begin with. Her course is an applied narrative study of the rhetorical discourses in a text with emphasis on the real world implications of the text/its interpretations. She offers creative options.

Comment:
Prof Jolly is extremely knowledgable and her personal anecdotes make the lessons that much more engaging. My interest in post colonial literature was deffinitely stimulated by this course! I loved everything we read, and even if I didn't enjoy it at the time, her lessons helped me appreciate the work. This has been one of my favourite classes!

Comment:
Professor Jolly was very nice, although her class didn't wow me. Her lectures seemed a little lacking, but it's probably because they were so damn early. Still, I've gotta give this woman mad props, because she helped me out of a sticky situation after I missed a test, even though I was constantly falling asleep in class.

For a second year survery course, the course was way too specific. She seemed to repeat the same points over and over.

Wow, I can't believe the negative comments put up on this board. I found Prof. Jolly's lectures and seminar discussions to be very engaging and inspiring. The class material was fascinating. More importantly, Prof. Jolly was extremely responsive to student needs and available outside of class; she personally helped me to develop my essay writing.

This professor is amazing - she alone inspired me to pursue graduate studies in post-colonial theory. Best class I ever took at Queens.

Jolly's class was the worst English class I took in university...we discussed such minute topics in class and her lectures we unclear and boring. The books that we read in the class were interesting, but her teaching and her lectures were not.

This woman is a power hungry, name-dropping, insulting and incompetent teacher who thinks she's out to change the world. Wake-up call: you're not. The only thing I learned from her was how NOT to teach.
