T-101: Strategies for Success
in the Wilson College of Textiles
"Ms. Jennings was a great professor! She made every class fun and I immediately felt comfortable with her for the first day. Each class was greatly informative and each assignment was easy and educational as well. Given this was a one credit hour class, I understand the assignments were meant to be easy and not cause much stress and Ms. Jennings achieved this. Her assignments could have been pointless busywork but she made each assignment educational and interesting. She also took a great amount of value in her students mental health with was amazing. She always made it known to us during EACH CLASS that if we needed to talk to someone she was always available, even if it was just to lend an ear."

"Ms. Jennings was a wonderful teacher. She gave really useful feedback, and I don't think that I would have done nearly as well in the course if it had not been for the in-class writing conferences that we did. She obviously cares a lot about teaching and was always enthusiastic and prepared for class. She made English more enjoyable for me."

"[Ms. Jennings] was very helpful and receptive to students. It was clear [she] wanted to help students succeed. A positive aspect of the class was the method in which we learned criteria for assignments, which would be to practice them in class or grade an assignment so we would clearly understand the material for the assignment. This was beneficial."
