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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
