Professor Warren is great. She truly cares about her students. This class is a lot of work, but it is fun. You tutor all semester, and it is a great learning experience. I loved this class and it taught me so much about teaching reading.

Comment:

Most unorganized teacher i have ever had. She gets her due dates mixed up in between the different sections, then often pushes the due date back anyways. Often tells one student one thing, and another student something completely different on the same assignment. Just a very frustrating course overall. She will only like you if you suck up.

She gives terrible instructions. Often gets her class sections mixed up and tells us different due dates all the time. I had her for 302 and she liked me so I took her for 308. If you're willing to suck up she will like you. You can not skip her class or she will not like you and you will notice she grades you harder. for your sanity avoid her

Jill is wonderful. She truly wants all of her students to become great teachers, and she pushes them to challenge themselves. She is so knowledgeable and is passionate about what she does. She is inspirational with her stories and lectures, and the texts she chose are so helpful in learning how to be a great teacher. Most definitely take!

She can be unclear at times but just take good notes on everything she expects and you will do fine. She wants you to be a good teacher and you can tell that, so feel free to ask her questions. She loves when you come visit her during her office hours,so do it! No exams but some in class writes. Be ready to tutor all semester 2 hr/wk as well.

I didn't like her teaching styles at all. She is a very nice lady but she does biased grading. If you are not one of her favorites, expect to work extra hard to get a good grade. If you are one of her favorites, good for you. I worked hard in this class and she didn't seem to care about my opinion on any of the projects even though it was mandatory

I'm not sure what the point of this class was. I didn't learn anything. She does not give clear instructions at all. She got my sections mixed up with another and yelled at us when we told her we never did an assignment she was talking about. I had no idea what was going on in this class. She loves to talk about herself. Got an A but she's terrible

Comment:

Warren is rude, unorganized, and not very bright. Her lectures consist of stories about her family. Our class time is done and she says "Oh! We are out of time. We will talk about our topic next time." Yet halfway through the semester when it was time to take the midterm, we still hadn't gotten to any of the material. Cannot stress how rude she is.

Comment:

She is really sweet but very very scatter brained and doesn't always know what is going on. Fairly easy grader though and you don't have any tests. Mostly it is write-ups answering a few questions and two group projects. It can be super confusing because she jumps from topic to topic all the time.

Honestly, one of my fav profs at GV. She does play favorites so get on her good side and you will be golden. She is very sweet if you make an effort to do well and visit her during office hours. Since I have had her, she has written me 2 letter of rec that I have needed. Do your best and show interest and she will be there for you when you need her

Jill is a wonderful person. Her heart is truly in the right place&knows a lot about her field. Her expectations are very unclear.ask very very direct questions to get the necessary material. Don't let her attitude rub off on you, she enjoys rambling. You don't use most the books. Easy A, but a lot of complaining to sit through with learning little

Comment:

Jill is very passionate. However, he passions lead to rambling, off topic rants, and a lot of complaining. She hates students that have part time jobs or commute. Stay on her good side to get a better grade. I have had her before and both times I haven't learned anything, except her strong opinions unrelated to the class material. AVOID her.

Jill is nice. If you get on her good side, and go to her office hours, you will get a better grade. If she doesn't like you, she will give you a worse grade. She often assigns assignments that she never goes over, so most of the time its a waste of your time to do.

Comment:

Jill is a very nice woman but she cannot stay organized to save her life. She expects you to know the ins and outs of projects without ever clearly explaining them. Ask one question and she will go on rants for the whole class. She plays favorites but is always willing to add more to her list if you talk to her. I WOULDN'T recommend her overall.

Comment:

Jill is not "rude" unless you disrespect her or show little to no interest in the class. She does play favorites, but only because half of the students don't speak up or act like they care about being a teacher. She has great advice, and WILL understand you if you take time to talk and be real with her. She has a big heart. She really cares.

rude, rude, rude. I'm not sure what I did to get on her bad side, but I would never suggest her to anyone. She picks favorites. I can't express the stress this lady brought in my life.If you do take her, kiss up from the beginning or you'll be paying for it all semester. Her opinion of you will highly depend how you like the class.FIND SOMEONE ELSE

Her grading is not hard, but assignments are a LOT of busy work that seemed somewhat pointless. Didn't really learn a lot in the class and found it pretty boring. She's nice, but is not a great professor. Try to take someone else if you can if you actually want to learn something useful for your teaching career.

I have taken Jill for two English classes now and have found them to be easy A's. As long as you put hard work into the projects assigned you will be fine. Jill does not believe in standardized testing, therefore no exams are given! Jill honestly cares a lot about the future of her students and I found her to be extremely approachable!

Jill Warren is passionate about her job. Lucy Calkins will become your new topic of conversation. Warren is not specific about assignments but grades regularly. Warren has a relaxed personality; If you're sick, she'll adjust your schedule so you can finish and receive a grade, very soft spoken, etc.
