Jenna is a remarkable teacher. Her lectures were extensive, thought-provoking, her reading lists and outside references outstanding, and her critiques extensive and probing. I think this is the fifth class I’ve taken with CNF (the second with Jenna) — her work, both in bringing together the participants, and giving pointed, personal instruction, is by far the best I’ve experienced.
