Cande might seem like a b*tch at times, but she really wants everyone to get an A and is extremely helpful. Outside of class she's much more laid back, a lot of people are thrown off by her classroom persona, but don't be! Pay attention and do your work and you'll have no trouble at all

AWESOME, AWESOME TEACHER. Sarcastic, witty, and helpful if you show you're trying. Neat projects to do with rotations. You get to do a bit of everything. I can't wait for a chance to take another class with her! Immensely fun to learn in that class, but don't let her catch you sitting (unless it's the 1st lecture days)!

Super easy class, although had to write a decide-size essay twice a week. Decent amount of reading. Super nice professor. Honestly not to hard, most people come out with A's

Class was overall fun and not too hard. You won't need to reference the lectures too much because the material is provided, so I don't have much to say about the teaching. The work load isn't too bad. It's mainly essays about media, but they don't require outside research. Additionally, the topics are interesting so they're easy to do.

doesn't give enough time for assignments, homework lacking clear instructions, gives you less than a week to write a 10-page paper that doesn't have clear instructions, and has you doing something that has never been mentioned before, on top of this you have to do other quizzes discussion posts and another paper all due in the same week

Lots of homework

Online half-semester Intro to Mass Comm course. Very straightforward; every week one chapter reading, discussion, and 2-page MLA paper graded easily. It is likely the nature of online classes, but the course wasn't very stimulating. However, from what I've heard and gathered, Cande would be a great professor in person.

Cande is AWESOME! A little intimidating but obviously very caring. Very reasonable workloads and creates a great atmosphere in class. Very supportive and encouraging and happy to help. A lot of experience in the industry as well, so gives good advice for getting into the business. I highly recommend intro to screenwriting and TV Studio.

Digital Editing M170 can be hard but if you show up to every class & pay attention to everything she teaches youll be good. Shes willing to help with any questions about the editing server Avid. Homework was a discussion post & 2 page paper analyzing editing from scenes a week but shes a very easy grader. Highly recommend Cande Larson shes amazing.

I have taken 3 classes from this professor and I hated every 1 of them. All 3 classes were comprised of complete busy work and there is absolutely 0 engagement from the professor. Be prepared to respond to 8 people per week in tedious discussions and write multiple 3 page essays on prompts worthy of less than a few paragraphs. Take as a last resort

Tough grader
Lots of homework
So many papers

Professor Larson is a great professor. I took her mass communications class over summer and it was pretty easy class. She truly wants all her student to succeed. There was a lot of reading so just be prepared for that. Great professor would take one of her classes again.

Professor Larson has a LOT of assignments and essays for intro to media aesthetics. You will have to write three paragraphs per discussion, then respond to four people and each response has to be at least 3 sentences. Shes nice but very little engagement. Just do the work and you should get a good grade

Really great professor. She teaches you well and gives you time to be able to understand the editing software. Assignments on the online portion feel more like busywork but editing in class is very fun and you are given full creative freedom. She wants you to do your best and what more could you want from a professor.
