Mass media was amazing. Ashleigh made everything easy to learn. Some how she made people look forward to coming to her class on test days. If she taught more classes, I'd take everyone and recommend her class to e ermine who needs or want to take it. Ashleigh's Awesome!
Made coming to class fun everyday, had a very good time the whole semester
Ashleigh was an amazing professor!! She made the class very fun and interesting with her cool personality. She is passionate about what she teaches and wants to make sure that every student is successful. There were many times where she provided me with extra guidance. I would highly recommend ANY class Ashleigh is teaching!
Ashleigh is the best teacher i have ever had! i wish i could take her again and again. seriously you will find no one better. take mass communications because you will love it and her. best class and prof ever!!!
Ashleigh is such a great teacher. This was one of the only classes I actually enjoyed coming to some days! I mean, she brings cupcakes and candy to class, who doesn't love that?! She is very down to earth and tries to connect with students which is important. Also you can tell she loves communications and teaches it very well!
Really fun to be in class with, and makes things fun and interesting. plus makes really good cupcakes
Ashleigh is honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had. Her style of teaching is so relatable and she makes learning fun! Taking this class has sparked my interest in communications, and I am now considering majoring in it. I hope she teaches more classes at Normandale in the future, I would definitely enroll! I HIGHLY recommend this course!
Ashleigh was the best instructor I have ever had while attending college. She is always there to help you, and makes class fun to attend. She brought us in homemade cupcakes multiple times throughout the semester which was a plus. I finished the class with over 100%. By far the coolest instructor. Wish she taught more classes! Take this course!!
She is the best professor I've had in my entire college career. She may be the best teacher I've had period! Super helpful, super fun, and she wants you to succeed. She deserves to teach every class in every school! And she plays 2K!
Ashleigh is young, hip, and a breath of fresh air. Her enthusiasm for her class material is contagious! She is on our level yet maintains her professor status-much respect! Her classes are the ones I look forward to the most. In addition to being a phenomenal teacher, she is also one amazing mentor :)
Great teacher, she made it fun to come to class each day, and looked forward to it. super easy and she was very helpful. many extra credit opportunities. she was hip and up-to-date but still maintained authority. and she made us cupcakes. amazing! take the class. highly recommend her.
Ashleigh is a fantastic teacher. Genuinely made my Normandale experience better as a whole. She is enthusiastic about the subjects she teaches. She is also very involved in her class and her students. You will have a great time and learn a lot if you decide to take her.
It has been almost a year since I took A-Money's class and i'm still smiling at the memories. Honestly one of the best professors I've had. Down to earth, honest, and funny are a few words i would use to describe her. The class overall was easy, as most of it was done in class. As for the book I just used the one in the Library. Overall good class
Best class I've ever taken! She is so incredibly nice! I am so happy I took this class I would recommend it to anyone looking to take a communications class!
She's funny,nice and will cancel class if she feels there's no need so you can work on a project, study for an exam quizzes are open note. Lots of fun extra credit opportunities. Gives candy after every quiz. Papers were fun. wish she would put notes and power points on D2l. if u miss, u have to get notes from classmate. watched 2 movies
A$ is a really gifted teacher. She really goes the extra mile for her students. She is organized and her lectures are engaging. Assignments are graded almost as quickly as they are turned in. Emails are responded to in the same day. You could not ask for more out of a teacher.
A$ is by far the best teacher I have ever had at Normandale! Shes helpful, understanding, fun, enthusiastic, makes class enjoyable to be in & engages everyone in class! I wish all my Normandale teachers are like her! Shes very helpful & understanding! She is the best & I would def take her class again & wish more teachers were like her..!!! :)
Ashleigh was absolutely awesome! I loved her class, always fun, fast and very easy. just complete and turn in all work for the grade.
the best teacher I have ever met in my entire life, full of energy in class and a the kindest, nicest person ever.
Loved A$! She is such a great teacher! She keeps the class fun, gives it a fun atmosphere and keeps everyone interested and engaged! She clearly enjoys teaching and makes sure everyone enjoys the class. Her quizzes were always open note and we only had one test which she gave a very detailed study guide for. Amazing teacher always fun.
A$ is an amazing teacher. She truly does everything within her power to make the content easy and understandable for all types of learners. She is very flexible and you can tell she loves her job. Easy to connect with and loves pretty much all of her students. She's a hard worker and it reflects in her students success rates!
A$ makes learning fun and easy. There are 9 quizzes which are open notes and one exam. As long as you go to her class and take good notes, you will get an A. She knows that students live a life to live, therefore, she doesn't give out any homework. Best professor!!!!
A$ is the best professor I have ever had! She gives out minimal homework that requires little homework. You have a quiz each week, but it's on material she entirely covered in class and you can use your notes, so they're incredibly easy. This class was easier than any high school class I've taken. A$ is SO nice and funny as well! She is the best!
I have never seen a professor so passionate about her job, full of energy, makes her students want to learn more and look forward for the next class. nice, kind, very helpful. attend lectures, take notes, focus on your project and you will definitely get an A. she is also young, beautiful and I love her fashion. How can a human being be so perfect?
She was the best teacher I've ever had! A$ was so incredibly helpful. Her lectures were never boring and she was incredibly good and relating the material to my life and current situations. The course helped me become more aware of all the things that the media has covered up. A$ also brought me closer to my boyfriend! LOVE YOU A$
Ashleigh is a great teacher. She is very interactive even with it being an online class. She is fun and gives good feedback. She also is a fast grader and responds quickly to any questions. You do get work every week in her class however, it is not overwhelming. I loved her class and her teaching skills! Would take again!
Super easy class. One assignment a week. Never even read the book. Would take more of her classes.
I took Mass Comm and Public Speaking with her. Seriously, A$ is the best professor. There weren't a lot of homework for these classes. She was really fast with emailing, always there when I needed her and created a fun learning environment. Just put effort and you will get an A.
Ashleigh is a GREAT professor, among one of the best I have taken. She is clear with what she expects, very interactive with the class, and gives excellent feedback. I really enjoyed her class. I hope to be able to take more with her.
Ashleigh is the best! She really cares about her students. She gives great feedback on your work. She is very funny and outgoing. This class is easy if you do your work.
what can I say about Ashleigh? she's perfection, the best human being and the best instructor, may God continue to bless her career. I strongly recommend her class to anyone, I promise you will love her teaching style and her as a person. very gifted instructor who loves her job so much.
Ashleigh is amazing, definitely my favorite professor at Normandale. I took her for Mass Communication and she had a great way of connecting the subject to everyone's lives. Her assignments are very fun and let you use your creative side. The Soundtrack Of My Life assignment was my favorite. I'd take her again in a heartbeat.
Ashleigh is an amazing teacher. She tried so hard to make the class as fun and interesting as possible. You do have to right a couple of essays but they are never hard and easy to get 100% on. You don't have a final, only a midterm of all true or false that you get to do with a partner. This was an amazing class that taught me a lot. Take her!
Very responsive and all around awesome course projects.
Amazing! Gives great lectures and connects the material to everyday life and engages the entire class with great discussions. I would recommend Shelton to anyone taking a communications class. She cares about her students succeeding and will do anything to help. She is very good at giving feedback/grades quickly. I looked forward to class every day
definitely recommend
I was so sure I'd fail this class. I HATE talking in front of people, but Ashleigh was very encouraging. She truly helped my confidence. She answered my emails promptly and practiced my speeches with me outside of class. She's an excellent instructor, who wants you to do well. Whatever your problem, communicate it to her and she'll help you.
Took COMM 1111 with Ashleigh and it was the easiest class i've ever had. Really chill and not a lot of homework, basically not at all. Great professor. Definitely recommend taking Communication class with her, you wont regret it!!
She is a fantastic professor that gets students involved and makes every class period fun! A lot of the work is participation besides a few assignments, so just going to class will earn credit. Her papers aren't too challenging either.
First year of college and she made her class welcoming. I took her for fall and spring semester. Fall-Interpersonal Communications and Spring-Understanding Mass Media. She made class fun and everyone got to know each other. I always looked forward to her classes. If there's an opportunity to take her class, there's no doubt that I would!
Took this over the summer. Intense, but worth it. Interesting assignments that let you use your brain and opinions as opposed to regurgitating info. Def recommend!
Honestly, BEST teacher I have ever had. She listens to what everyone has to say. She is fun, so sweet, and is also so funny. She can relate to you very easily, which is usually hard for teachers to do with students. She truthfully wants you to learn and be able to communicate better. She is just an amazing teacher!! TAKE HER CLASS
She is a very lighthearted teacher and keeps everything simple enough to understand but hard enough to be challenging. Definitely would take her class! It is well worth it!
Nicest teacher ever. Obviously cares about her students and makes the material easy to learn.
Ashleigh's class was awesome! Her assignments made the material interesting. There was one assignment every week. The material was simple and interesting. Easy A if you have good time management and drive for online classes. My favorite part was the final project. It was a very creative way to do research. I loved this class and so will you!
Second time having Ashleigh as a professor, and she will be greatly missed. She expects you to put in the work for her classes, but she's kind, helpful, and the assignments aren't too difficult if you invest the time and effort into them. Kind of wish this semester hasn't ended so fast. Btw, the projects for this class are super fun. I loved them.
I recently finished up my online class. Ashleigh was one of my favorite professors. When you read her syllabus youll think that shes strict and scary, which isnt true. Shes kind, caring and funny! The assignments she gave us were engaging and understandable. I would take her class again.
I needed this class for a Goal 9 requirement. Not only did I enjoy the subject, but I really enjoyed the layout of the class. Ashleigh made her expectations clear and was creative in her assignments. I would highly recommend this class and professor. 10/10!!
Okay, not only is she beyond beautiful, she is the best teacher I've ever had. An extremely easy grader and gives great feedback. She makes the class fun and easy to learn. If you have to take ANYONE for communication classes, TAKE ASHLEIGH!!!!
I cant say now I love talking in front of people, but Im alot more confident and comfortable when I have to do it. Ashliegh also spent alot of time outside of her office hours and class time helping me to write and practice my speeches. That isnt something that most teachers would do. I felt that she really cared about me and my success.
Had one assignment each week with very clear requirements. Ashleigh was very encouraging, communicated weekly, and responded promptly to my one email.
This class is fun, and fun to participate in. She gives amazing feedback and clear grading expectations. Discussions, and reflections papers and participation are expected. I highly recommend this class you wont regret it!
Great teacher! Loved the set up of the online course. Very specific guidelines help you to know exactly what is expected of you.
She made the subject matter relatable to real life and made it interesting. Her work was a little tough, but if you tried your best it wasn't hard to get a good grade.
She is very helpful and caring. She likes to make sure everyone understands the class. There are weekly quizzes and she does group projects as well. Class is very easy and fun. No actual final test just a project.
She is such a nice person. This professor has her stuff together! I would fully recommend her and I would totally take another one of her classes! She gives little quizzes at the end of each week, but you can use your book. They are very easy. She also gives extra credit, so be to class on time, it will be given at the beginning of class.
Quizzes every Friday, about 3 essays to write.. shes very understanding and her class is fun... I would highly recommend you to take her.
Ashleigh really cares about her students, shes very nice and makes learning easy. She was my favorite teacher in normandale... I would highly 100% recommend you to take her. Easy A. Attendance is Mandatory so skip class you wont pass.
Organized and responsive. Grades really fast. Helpful teacher, knowledgeable, and passionate about subject.
Ashleigh was a great teacher. You can tell that she really cares and wants you to do well because she provides you with helpful feedback. I really recommend this online course. Ashleigh's directions were clear each week. The assignments were a bit challenging, but manageable. Just make sure you start your work early each week.
Ashleigh was a very good online instructor. She always gave positive feedback and was always available over email for questions you might have. Learned a lot and really enjoyed the class.
Great professor!! She uses powerpoint lectures, but she made them interesting! The homework wasn't hard, just a few essays (which were easy) and 5 question quizzes (also easy) after class. There were also some fun group activities throughout the semester, and she gave out candy, at times. She's very funny, and super nice!! Would recommend!!
She is literally the bomb, can relate to us and is soooo nice. Gives out candy, and lets us out early, even cancels the class if we don't need it. (Group project time)
Ashleigh was very organized and clear with expectations. She responded quickly to my questions and updated the class frequently. The readings were free on D2L and she always graded the assignment the day after they were due. I would highly reccomend this as a online course.
I absolutely loved taking her online! She was very clear and organized about what she wanted. The assignments were also unique and weren't hard at all. She seemed very caring about her students and gave great feedback. This professor definitely wants you to learn but also have fun. I would take another class with her in a heartbeat.
Shelton is a kind prof. This class was extremely easy and had little work, one assignment per week, very manageable. The topics are fairly interesting, although some of the readings are lengthy.
This professor was extremely nice, and had very organized modules and deadlines for each week. The homework is very manageable and feedback is always plentiful when turning in assignments. Take this class if you want to have an engaging teacher that cares about you and your grades.
I took this class online and never got to meet Ashleigh, but I know if I did I would've loved her! She has high expectations, but is super clear about them up front and gives clear instructions. Just one assignment a week, with lots of reading, but you can usually push your way through the assignment without too much trouble.
Shes really nice. Easy, straightforward and interesting assignments. And you get alot of feedback for them
Ashleigh genuinely seems like she cares about you and your work. She gives such good feedback and you can tell she is reading it. She also gives extra credit on a few assignments. The only thing is that her assignments are very long and you have to take time for them. She also gives only 20 minutes to do tests, which can be very stressful.
Ashleigh was the best teacher I took her online for Interpersonal communication and she was very caring and easy to get a hold of. She helped me stay on track. As long as you follow directions and put in effort you would get a good grade on the assignment
Amazing class! She's a super down-to-earth professor who cares about the material. In this class she alternated between tests, discussions, and papers for each week about the material so you aren't stuck writing essay after essay or doing an excessive amount of reading. Would recommend!
One of the best professors I've had, very empathetic, kind, responds to your emails and grades your work very quick. Although it was hard doing this class online with covid and everything she was very aware of students mental health and only one weekly assignment, test or discussion post. Learned a lot in this class. Would definitely take again.
My FAVORITE teacher so far. Expectations were so clear, great feedback on all assignments, relatable, and understanding. Had about one assignment per week but was a 3 credit class. Rotated types of material so there was no repetition. I would recommend her to any student looking to take a comm class, she is one of the best teachers at this school!!
Ashliegh is a genuine person & cares about her students. I had her for Interpersonal Comm. and I learned a lot. All you have to do is read the assigned text and follow the directions to get an A. Everything is graded fast and you get strengths feedback every week. Fantastic professor.
Professor Shelton was an amazing professor overall. Her assignments were meaningful to the class, not busy work just to make you do something. There was something sue every week that changed between discussions, quizzes, and short papers. If you read the module posted for the week, you will get an A; her instructions are straightforward.
She's honestly my favorite teacher! We usually had a lot of writing assignments but she tells you exactly what you need to have in it and if you have that you're most likely going to get an A on it! I literally got a 100.83 as my final grade in the course and I was SURPRISED. As long as you do your assignments you will be fine!!
If you do the work you'll have no problems. Very fair and clear on expectations. While taking this class as a summer course she was quick to answer any of my questions as well as work with me when I was dealing with some personal issues. Lots of writing, but manageable. Would take her again!
This was a pretty simple summer course. Professor Shelton is a solid professor, but she has very strict guidelines and expectations. It was a little too harsh for a summer course. But overall the class was fine, just not my favorite, and I probably wouldn't take it again.
I took her for both mass com and interpersonal com because I personally love her teaching style. Complete your stuff on time and put honest effort into the class.
TAKE THE CLASS! I took Mass Media and she is by far one of my fav profs so far. You have a full week to do your homework for the week and there is extra credit. No mid-terms or and final tests. As long as you turn in your work and follow the directions you will get an A. EASY!
She has clear expectations, easy A, awesome professor!
I loved having her as a professor, she was easy to reach and was so nice and caring. We only had one assignment due each week and it was either a discussion post, quiz, or short essay. She made the class fun and enjoyable even when only being an online class.
Great class. She gives lots of writing assignments but grades them on clear cut easy to understand directions. She cares about social issues and her students. The topics of the assignments are sometimes controversial, but extremely relevant. I wish she was teaching Group Com in the fall
I took the intro to communication online asynchronous class. I really enjoyed this professor! She's a really fair grader. She also grades things super quickly! One thing to note is that no late work is accepted, but the work was very manageable. This class had a mix of tests, papers, and discussions along with a presentation for the final.
This class was easy and I learned a lot from it. It was manageable with one assignment per week paired with the textbook chapter reading & short video. It would alternate every week from an individual post, to a discussion, to an open textbook quiz. This class was very manageable and Professor Shelton gives great feedback. I recommend this class!
This is my second time taking her classes she cares about her students so much and is willing to help you with the material she also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities!!
Ashleigh was a great teacher. She's an incredibly fast grader (we're talking less than two hours!) and very accessible out of class. She's an easy grader too. It's obvious she's liberal, but even though I have a different worldview she promoted discussion and didn't grade me harshly because of it. Expectations are very clear. 10/10.
Ms. Shelton was my favorite online class I've ever taken! The class was very flexible and easy, with few assignments worth a lot of points. Highly recommend!
Currently taking her for both Mass Media and Interpersonal Communication and let me tell you this is by far the most caring and easiest professor ever. The assignments are fun and easy, and the due dates are the best (like weeks) she also gives extra points for submitting early. Don't even think about taking a different professor for comm take her
The BEST professor! You get to work ahead and she makes learning fun! LIKE WHAT?! You get extra credit if you submit things early and she gives amazing feedback. If you are looking for a professor that cares about you and your success, look no further and sign up for her class! Why are you still reading this? GO REGISTER FOR HER COURSES RIGHT NOW!!
I've heard many good things about her but her Mass Media online class sucks. It's way too much unnecessary reading. . If you love reading and writing, then maybe you'll enjoy this class. But if you're looking for something more manageable and something you don't have to stress about, this is not it. This was literally more work than my chem class.
3 larger assignments and 1 final project. Did have to do a recorded speech, but it was easy. Lots of feedback on assignments. I was able to finish the class a month and a half early
One of the easiest courses I have taken. There are 3 recaps which are like projects, each took about 2 hours each, and a final project that takes a bit longer. If you correctly follow instructions this class is easy.
She is a very easy grader. Her class is very light, and I was able to finish it early. She gives decent feedback on assignments and emails you if you have anything missing instead of grading it immediately.
There are 3 big assignments, each one she gives you a month to do. Then there's the final. She grades super quick and her response time for emails, even on weekends, is super fast. She gives good feedback and offers a LOT of extra credit.
Prof. Ashleigh was super sweet and her class was very interesting! We had a textbook chapter to read every week, a fun recap assignment after every 3 chapters, and a very intriguing final project that covered all the chapters in an unconventional way. There's lots of readings but the 4 assignments are super easy and she's not a tough grader.
Fun and easy class, you essentially do 1 big project a month (3 total) + 1 final exam project. Easy A if you put effort in, reference the readings, and follow instructions. I never had to reach her by email but she's a total sweetheart, she gave weekly reminders to reach out if needed. You can work ahead & each project only took a couple days each
This is the easiest class ever!!!!
Ashleigh is awesome. Best communication teacher I've had in 2 1/2 years at the school. If you like the material, you'll love the class.
Ashleigh's class is definitely a favorite class I've taken. Straightforward and very manageable if you have a busy class schedule. She gives extra credit if you turn things in early. Only graded on 4 items, all fun and easy to complete if you space it out. The final is a fun project. Gives great feedback. Would recommend it to anyone!
Ashleigh Shelton is AMAZING! She truly cares about her students, gives detailed feedback, and offers extra credit opportunities. Her support helped me improve a lot. I just wish her class was in person. I feel I would've enjoyed it even more. Overall, she's one of the best professors I've had and highly recommend her!
Did not like the fake act of kindness activity in the end of the class. The idea is great, but the execution left a bad taste. I don't want to hear nor share what I or other students did for people just because we have this teacher that will grade us based on that activity. Act of kindness should be done in secret without seeking recognition.
Prof. Shelton's online COMM1106 class is a gem! It's a breeze with weekly projects and an easy grading system. I found Unstuck AI super helpful for study prep. Definitely would take it again!
Professor Shelton is clear, caring, and organized. Only four assignments, each due monthly, so the class is super manageable. She gives great feedback and makes grading expectations clear. Low-stress class where you still learn a lot. Highly recommend her!
There were a total of four assignments due the whole semester and she gave me 100% on all of my work! She gave me detailed reasons on what I did good on and was really nice. Was an easy A
Take any of her classes if you like the do at your own pace structure with due dates. 4 assignments to turn in for the mass media class. Also, if you turn in your assignment early you have a chance for extra credit points which you won't need if you just do your work. I wish all online professors used her structure as a guideline for classes.
She is so kind and caring and I can tell that she genuinely wants her students to succeed. She had a few modules for the whole semester that we worked on at weeks at a time that were easy to stay ahead of. In her assignment, you have many different options on how to go about completing them such as making a video, a one pager, or an essay.
