Ms. Dubois is a great teacher, one of the best here are Normandale, I would recommend her to everyone.
Great teacher, quizes are not too difficult. Tries to make public speaking fun!
Class seems easy because she is a good teacher, makes class fun, is clear in presenting material and expectations. Requires a number of somewhat difficult essays but she is very helpful with these if you have problems. Very nice & friendly.
Easy online open book quizzes, seems to base grade more on improvement than against a standard, pay attention to her instructions and criticism and follow them if you want a good grade, helpful & nice
Aimee is an awesome teacher. Her class is very fun and she is always willing to help you out. She is very fair and realistic in grading. I definately reccommend taking Aimme in any communication class.
very good teacher. very fun
she was a great teacher, i liked her teaching methods a lot. she always tried to be available for any troubles you were having and was easy to get a hold of.
If you take class to learn and have fun, take Aimee. If you take another Comm teacher at NCC, don't blame me! Most helpful instructor I've had, you will be glad you took her class.
Awesome teacher!! Test are fair but her class is fun and she cares about her students. Very approachable!!!
SHE ROCKS!
Great proffesor. I personally had some issues understanding the examples/scenarios provided on the tests;however, she's fair grading and help you to understand. I recommend this class to everyone including ESL students like me
Really cool teacher She keeps class fun so it goes by quick
Ms. Dubois rocks! Her class involved work but she made it easy by making it fun and interesting. Very easy to approach with questions/concerns regarding the class. It was the only class i looked forward to going to!!
From the minute you walk into the class she sizes you up. How well you do in the class doesn't matter. What matters is how much she likes you,bias grading. Tests are easy projects are graded based on if she likes you or not. She givers a lot of dirty looks.
Aimee is a good teacher that helps you understand how to cohesively think as a group. She adds fun and humor to most learning enviroments. She'll keep you there all night, but it's well worth it. Ask her for DQ, she might just take you up on the offer.
Aimee is a great teacher. Unlike most teachers here you can tell she enjoys her job. She's also interested in what students have to say-
Very interesting class and she makes it fun so that the time goes by quick. I reccomend taking this class.
Boring class. She doesnt grade fairly. She also mentioned that she doesnt shave her legs during the winter season...grossss. Her tests are all based on her power point. There is really no point of even buying the book because all test questions are from class discussion. Save the money and dont buy the book.
Class is fun and the first two tests were easy. But the third (final) test half the students failed it. She also grades participation from "guessing". If she likes you, you will get good participation points. She's not the brightest seed, but she has a bubbly personality. I say she's a fat ****. Grades based on whether she likes you or not.
Amiee is a great teacher. Pay attention to the side stories that she tells, because she asks random extra credit questions on her test.
Great professor. very helpful and she makes the class very fun
I had Aimee for a competency class. She was very fair and helpful through the whole process. She is very nice.
Great teacher... grades fair accordingly to your skills. Makes the class fun if you have questions ask...very helpful...SUPER NICE Would recommend... However don't waste the money on the text book I never bought one and did fine on the quizzes...(they are online and very simple) show up for class and participate and you will do fine!!!
Awesome
Very good teacher. Really liked her style of teaching. overall very fun.
Lectures the WHOLE class to the effect you cant pay attention after 10 minutes. Tests can be tricky and she is usually extremely biased on them. I definately did not look forward to going to class with her.
Aimee is an awesome teacher. Grades very fair and is very approachable. She gives great examples of speaches. However don't buy the book, i got a B in the class with out it. Show up for class and you will elarn everything you will need to know.
i liked her, easy and approchable, dont be late and have fun...she has cool stuff to say and shows lots of movie clips. SHES GREAT HIGHLY RECOMANDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She was an awsome teacher. She was exciting and made speaking in public so much fun. She rules.
Good professor, grading was fair. Pay attention to her personal stories, even if you couldn't care less about them. She'll ask about them later for EC points. Seems weird but makes sense as it is a communication class after all.
Exams are based on lectures, a few questions are from the textbook though. Her teaching style is straight forward and clear. If you answer questions on exams/assignments throughly then you will earn all the points. :)
great teacher jokes in class and helps you with your assignments as long as you schedule with her. shes nice and always is in a good mood. take her for sure i got an A in her class and hardly studied. oh and open note and book quizes easy, easy, easy
Loved her & her class. She was a very straight forward & easy going teacher. Love to show movie clips & added humor into her lecture. Just be sure to show up for class, attendance counts. Easily approachable & an easy grader. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Oh, extra little tip.. she loves to quiz you about herself for extra credit so pay attention!
Aimee was the best! Very fun atmosphere, but she stuck to the subject and taught effectively. (She is definately a Public Speaker) The most fun I've had in class, and she is REALLY easy to talk to outside of class. If you try hard, and don't give up, it's an easy A.
Super awesome teacher who is funny and brillant. she loves what she teaches and she makes you interested even if you're not good at interpersonal communication!
Aimee was a great teacher. Her classes were interesting and I looked forward to come to class. It's an easy A if you do the assignments.
Aimee was a blast. One of the most fun teachers I have had. Always involves her students and cares a lot about the class, communication and her students. HIGHLY recommended!
Fun, informative, and engaging. Definitely recommended for anyone.
Class material was clear and easy. She gives ample time for assignments. Nicely laid out schedule. As for her personality and teaching style, I hated her. I'm a communications major and she's the worst COMM prof I've had. Fake, and if she finds reasons not to like you, her grading will change dramatically. I should've had an A in this class.
So nice, and easy to get an A
Great teacher! Makes the class fun and is very nice as well
Very nice and friendly. She very, very clearly lays out what she wants from you for each assignment however she is a very strict grader. Would definitely recommend though.
Great Teacher. Course is very clearly laid out. Fun teacher.
Loved having Aimee as a professor. She is very clear about what she wants from you. You are expected to meet outside of class with your small group. You get the same grade as your group for group projects, but Aimee is a fair grader. I would definitely take a class from her again. She has lots of fun stories and games to break monotony.
I love Aimee, she is great and very helpful.she makes herself available for students who need help.It was so hard to leave the class, a lot of us actually stayed after a couple of minutes to say our goodbyes, it was actually very hard for me.I was deathly afraid of taking a speech class but aimee made it a smooth as possible and very fun!i enjoyed!
Don't miss any quizzes! Write your speeches on time, and have a good attitude. That's all she really asks. She was one of the most AMAZING teachers ever. I really wish I could take another class with her. [Oh, and save that makeup coupon!]
Friendly instructor. Tries to make the class fun and provides a variety of activities during class time other than simply lecture. She sets clear expectations and provides thorough feedback on assignments and projects. The difficulty of tasks seemed average to easy but a disfunctional group could complicate the majority of coursework.
Great class with an even better professor! Highly recommend this course! Always had so much fun during class times.
Aimee is an awesome professor. She gives every opportunity to get an A. I took the online course, and it was actually fun. She is organized and has everything laid out so you know exactly what needs to be done and by when. Excellent teacher. Would take a class with her again.
Aimee is an excellent professor who utilizes a variety of assignments to engage students. The experience papers for Intercultural Communication are a great example of applying the course to the real world. Show up to class and do your work and you'll enjoy yourself. Aimee is great.
TAKE HER CLASS! She is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. She gets a little off topic every once in a while but she is very helpful, and makes the class fun and interesting so you remember what you're learning. However you don't ever have to touch the book!
I took the online course and wish I had taken the classroom version instead. For a communication class I felt like I didn't hear from her often throughout the course. She is tough on the essay questions on the test, BE OVERLY DETAILED and you'll do fine. She offers great extra credit as long as you follow the discussion guidelines.
Study Abroad Class. Wonderful Teacher. Asignments are easy but very relevant to the class. If you want an adventure take a study abroad class, it is worth your time.
Very good. Connects subject material to the student's lives extremely well. One of the best I have had.
She's a good teacher and very passionate about what she does. Go to class and do the work and you'll get an A. The only thing I didn't like was there were WAY too many papers and tedious work. If you want a class where you are only graded on tests and don't enjoy writing papers, pick a different instructor.
Such a nice teacher!!! Her class is really easy as long as you show up and do the readings.
This teacher is the worst of any communication teacher at Normandale. My friends actually laugh at how much work I have to do for this class because they have different teachers. She gives too many assignments and her tests are vague and littered with misspelled words and grammatical errors. My mistake was not listening to my friends...
I took her for 2 of my communications classes, hands down my favorite professor at Normandale. I would strongly recommend her. Her classes aren't the easiest, but they are very fun to take. She really does a great job at getting everyone into the subject. Sad I'm going to transfer, she's one of the best there is. :)
I took her for 1 of my communication classes. It was by far my least favorite class. I don't feel like I learned anything productive. All you do is analyze romantic relationships and that gets old, fast. She's not very accommodating and gives a lot and expects too much from community college students. Would never ever take a class from her again.
Took a 5 week summer communication course and she is extremely strict and doesn't seem to respect her students at all. The workload seemed impossible and she has become a stricter grader. She was not flexible at all and was not understanding with her students. I do not recommend her as a professor.
I love her! She cares about her students and is truly passionate about the subject. Her lectures are very interesting, which helps since the tests are based half on lectures and half on readings. The book isn't a textbook, just a regular book which helps with cost. A lot of work is in teams, including tests. She averages test scores from the grade you receive on your individual test and also your group test, so your score always goes up! The content is really interesting and pertains to real life!
She is very clear of what she expects of you. Tests are individual and then group, so grade is an average of both scores. Extra credit options available. She is very flexible on test questions, so argue away.
Aimee was awesome. She was one of the few teachers that would actively check up on you and offer lots of help. She is passionate about the class and she has an awesome and straight-forward curriculum.
Aimee is the best teacher I have ever had. She really cares about her students and remembers things you have told her. She also has the best examples while applying things to our lives & she's very funny! I wouldn't say her classes are easy "A's" she's just so good at explaining things it can be an easy 'A' but you still have to put the effort in!
Aimee is a amazing professor and always willing to answer questions. Get ready to read a lot, as long as you read and use your mind and opinions this class will be easy for you. She was one of the best professors I have yet taking.
Aimee is by far the best teacher I have ever had. She is funny and uses examples a lot, which help me learn better. She also tries to connect to students. She is helpful and caring to her students and will take time to help you if you need it.
I would highly recommend taking this class. I was worried about taking a communication class, but I'm glad I chose her. You do group tests & lectures are easy to follow. Although, attendance is mandatory, this isn't a class you'd want to miss. She really cares for her students & is very easy to talk to. It's an easy A as long as you show up.
Aimee is a teacher who you can tell really likes her subject and cares about her students. Sometimes the readings and notes can get kind of long, but I would take a class with her again in a heartbeat.
Overall, great teacher. Explains well if you don't understand. Simple but impactful learning technique.
I took an online class and it was super easy as long as you follow the directions.
Aimee was a great online professor. She is easy to get in contact with and gives feedback fairly quickly. There is a lot of reading, short quizzes, and notes. This was an easy class and I enjoyed it.
Aimee gives you a rubric for everything. So you know exactly what she's looking for in each assignment and discussion. You need to participate in discussions and there are unit quizzes. There is no final or midterm for this course. As long as you participate, you'll be just fine.
The material in this class is easy to understand. The tests are very specific to each module. Participation matters and goes towards grades. Very strict on cell phones, even if its used for her class. A lot of interaction and talking to peers. Homework/assignments should be detailed. Modules are long to read. Overall a good class.
Great teacher, super understanding there's a life outside of class. I would totally recommend her to anyone!
Aimee was great and made this class really fun! I took the hybrid version and loved it. She never really lectured, more of talking with your peers and group discussions. There were four tests, some in-class assignments, and online modules with little 5 point quizzes at the end that you can take as many times as you want and for the 5 points.
More work than I expected for a hybrid communications class but I couldn't imagine taking it fully in person. Sometimes I felt like our little class time was unnecessary. Just stay on top of reading and study for tests you'll do fine.
she tracks how much time you spend on modules even if you're acing the class. easy class to get an A but ridiculous expectations and lack of trust.
Professor Aimee is hands down my favorite teacher Ive had so far. I took this course online, Her class was very easy to understand and her grading was as fair as possible. She is also very understanding and shows clear care towards her students. Unlike many professors Ive come across, she really preaches what she practices!
Horrible professor tracks how much time you spend on modules even if you are getting a good grade and completing the modules.
Interpersonal communication She is a good professor, we dont get very many assignments we met once a week and we had like at most 3 assignments a week which is pretty easy and they dont take too long. TAKE GOOD NOTES. She allowed us to use our notes on our quizzes and we only had 7 quizzes no final exam. Overall would take again
I didn't think I would like this course, but it ended up being the most interesting class I have ever taken. I learned so much because of Prof. DuBois' lectures. It's a lot of homework, and time consuming, but it gets interesting after a couple weeks. She cares about mental health and is committed to helping students.
I was initially hesitant to take a communications class, but this class was fantastic. She makes the modules herself which I think is actually super neat. Furthermore, it's typically split up so you don't have to do too much reading for one week. I think as long as you read the modules and pay attention it's quite easy to do well.
Aimee DuBois is a great professor. I'm not sure what everyone is talking about with the time spent in modules. Just take the notes quick and you'll be fine. Her criteria and setup for the class is very straightforward. You take the notes, the quizzes, the unit quizzes, and a few assignments. She also isn't wordy with announcements and whatnot.
I took Interpersonal Communication as an asynchronous course. She doesn't require a textbook, instead you do online modules that she made. Each module has a 5 point quiz and for every 4 modules there's a unit exam. There is no final. You also have to do 3 assignments. She is amazing and helpful!!
I liked the way she set up the course, the modules and quizzes. She gives you a selection of 13 assignments to choose from but you only need to turn in 3 of them. I learned a lot from her modules and applied what I learned to my day to day life, both I, and people around me see a huge difference in my communication skills because of this course!
For a communication professor, Aimee didn't communicate well with the class. When asked a question she either responded very passive aggressively or did not respond for weeks. Her modules she wrote and her quizzes had multiple grammar and or spelling mistakes that made the questions confusing. I do not recommend this professor. Wasn't helpful.
This course was super easy and insightful. There is no final for this course, and the pace is easy to keep up with if you are taking other classes. It is super easy to get an A in this class, because you can retake the modules. There are unit exams in between new modules, and those are easy since they are based on what you read. No textbook needed
I enjoyed this class so much! The modules were easy to understand, and the tests and assignments were not that difficult. She is very flexible with her grades. I misunderstood one assignment and was allowed to do another without penalty as she takes your highest grades. This class was very engaging. I recommend this class!
The material she covers is interesting and varied, and most assignments are flexible. She seems nice overall, but does have communication issues under pressure. Her occasional cultural blind spots were kind of cringe-worthy for an intercultural communications class. She also works hard coordinating global studies, so she can be busy often.
Overall very good
Easy class that you can work a little ahead in. Can re-take quizzes until you get 100% if you want. You can have 2 attempts for tests, but your score is the average of the 2 attempts. Learned a lot about communication.
I really enjoyed this professor and this class. Just make sure you do the work (not a crazy amount) and you will do very well.
The modules are straightforward, and the assignments are flexible. While there were some communication issues, the professor is overall helpful. I found unstuck ai super useful for studying and boosting my communication skills.
She created her own modules for this class, no textbook needed! Short quizzes at the end of each module that you could retake as many times as you wanted. And as long as you took notes on the modules, you could use them on her tests. Pretty easy A in my opinion!
Good professor!
