Prof. Jackson clearly cares about all of her students, and wants people to do well in her class. Lectures were relevant , and often used movie clips to break up slides. Always greeted everyone everyone with a smile before class.Rate My Professors ↗

Attendance required before and the day of quizzes. Quizzes are pretty specific so study the slides. Really cares about the students and the material. No final exam, just a paper. Show up and you'll get an A.Rate My Professors ↗

The professor is really nice and friendly, and presents lectures very well. Attendance is mandatory the lecture before the quiz and the day of the quiz. I would recommend going to lectures because then you probably won't need to study for the quizzes or the midterms. They're really focused on big ideas of the lectures, and they're pretty easy.Rate My Professors ↗

I LOVE HER! So passionate, caring, and respectful of students. Wow, I even learned so much about a subject I was not originally interested in. Thank you, Prof!Rate My Professors ↗

LOVE Professor Jackson. She is an amazing lecturer who truly loves what she does. I have never loved attending a class more than her HS 202 class. As a neurobio major I'm not big history person, but she made it interesting and I found everything so fascinating. The unit tests weren't too bad as long as you review. TA Eric Luckey was awesome tooRate My Professors ↗
