In class group work, conference is a must and movie watching. Great professor for serious minded students.
Great Teacher!!!
Great teacher. Very quick to respond to Emails and discussion chats. Assignments are graded fairly with informative and helpful feedback. Attendance is a must for hybrid courses. Group work in the classroom but not for assignments.
Dr. Nosiri was great! She is very knowledgeable and she made the class enjoyable. The key is to come to class and do the group work, discussions and keep up on the movie watching. You are sure to get an A (2 papers, 1 Outline, Final Paper no exam).
Dr. Nosiri, teaches a very fun introspective course. After taking this course, I definitely have a new appreciation for movie's.
Professor Nosiri is an excellent educator and instructor, and makes the class interesting. Her syllabus is very easy to follow. Must be a participant! Follow the assignments, and you should have no problem. Dr. Nosiri cares about her students, and wants everyone to succeed. She is always available via email and after class. Fun class.
I really liked taking Prof. Nosiri's class. The workload is kind of heavy but she is a very fair grader. There were plenty of group assignments involved but they're very doable. Just focus on the material that she provides and complete the assignments on time. She doesn't ask for much and she's a really nice person.
Great Class. Learned a lot.
I really enjoyed my professor teaching style. I wish I could take another class from her. Thank you I hope to see you again.
Outstanding - Would take again.
Dr. Nosiri was great to work with. In the 7th week I had kidney transplant. I was never stressed since the professor worked with me to get as much of my work done as possible. I was granted an extension and asked to provide a doctor's note. Was a joy to work with but expected the student to participate fully.
Responds to questions quickly and accurately. Slightly above average amount of reading, but a lot of it is reinforcement of concepts, so if you learn quickly, some of the reading is not required. She cares about the subject matter and the students, and this shows. Excellent professor.
Prof. Nosiri was accessible and responsive to e-mails. There's a lot to read in this class, but it wasn't overwhelming. She helps you think outside the box on real world media issues and gives great feedback both via discussion posts and assignments. I would take her class over again if I could!
Professor Nosiri was one of the best professors I've had with UMUC. She responds weekly to our discussions and comments with parts of the classes responses. Her grading time is immaculate. I learned a lot this semester and was excited about her drive to help us all succeed. She is truly an amazing educator. I would take every COMM class with her.
Professor Nosiri was a great teacher! She replied very quickly and always added a burst of great information to the class. I hope I can take her other classes in the future!
GREAT PROFESSOR! SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS AND GIVES FEEDBACK!
Professor is concerned about you learning the content.
Dr. Nosiri defintiely gave us a lot to read but for an 8 week class, it makes sense. I actually really enjoyed several of the readings she assigned. I was genuinely interested in the COMM articles. I would say if you do your readings and you make sure to cite and use the textbook to support your discussions and assignments, you'll do just fine.
I generally don't contribute on here, but Professor was worth me giving my valid two sense. Being an older student, and late to working on college. I would have to say that she is very fair and open to discussions. It's hard to fail that class as long as you are doing what need is and trying. A++++ Professor
This class was taken online as 8-week class. I found this course to be one of the most insightful and informative classes I have taken at UMUC. Dr. Nosiri's use of supplemental materials from YouTube to Prezi's brought an extra layer of depth to the class. She provided insightful feedback and was an overall great instructor.
Extensive papers every week, discussions every week with multiple posting that sometimes require putting together power points and presentations. A lot of work and papers but she grades fairly and gives good feedback. I did not expect the amount of work that was required for this class.
Easy grader, clear assignments, final paper is 6-8 pages, not too much reading/writing. Would take all my classes with her if I wanted all A's.
Definitely a class I would take over and not just because she's a fellow Nigerian like myself. In the brief time I've spent with her as her student, her and her teaching is definitely worth it's weight in Gold. If you put in the work, you'll reap the reward. Definitely take her...
Professor Nosiri inspired the class weekly with very positive feedback and clear instructions about weekly assignments. I never felt overwhelmed by the requirements of the course because of Professor Nosiri's encouragement and professionalism.
Good course format. The class was primarily centered around a final research paper and multiple assignments leading up to it. Detailed weekly discussions. Fair grader and overall nice person. As long as you try and meet deadlines, you will come out fine.
Dr. Nosiri was a great asset in learning Mass Communication. She provided insightful feedback and was available to answer any questions.
I enjoyed taking this class. Dr. Nosiri was very responsive and quick with helpful feedback. She was very involved in discussions. She's a wonderful professor. I would love to take another of her classes.
Great instructor! I felt that she really cared about helping the class prepare porfolios/projects for their next steps in life, and she was an active and positive presence in our online discussions. Her feedback was helpful and grading was clear and fair. You'll have an assignment and multiple discussions each week so be prepared to write.
A lot of writing in the class- discussions and paper every week. But all the materials have been covered prior, so this should be easy. I advise to take this course as only class, the writing part will be extensive. The professor is an easy grader, great feedback, fast turnaround on submitted papers and grades are posted on time. GREAT!!!!
Holy moly, get ready to read A LOT. This class had really fun discussions and I like how we dove into the theories of mass communications. It made me realize about a lot my social media use and how social media is differently by people and why.
Provided great insights of the film making process.
Dr. Nosiri was a fantastic teacher. She is competent and knowledgeable about cinematography and the film industry. In a world of adjunct faculty and temp-instructors she is a gem.
Great instructor! Gets the entire class involved in a positive and enlightening manner.
I've had a fair sampling of UMUC professors and this one is top tier. Real experience in communications and the film industry. Actually leads the class with good participation exercises rather than the trite, check-the-box efforts I've seen elsewhere. Have to watch a lot of film, I had to pay a bit more out of pocket for some of them. Worth it.
I enjoyed completing my capstone course with Dr. Nosiri. She provided clear communication and organization throughout the course. If I could take her class again I would.
Dr. Nosiris class was one of my favorite classes at UMUC. Unfortunately one of my last! I wish I had taken more classes with her. Her feedback is great, she is so caring and happy to help. Her class is also very interactive and makes you want to do her class. The topics you research are very interesting and you actually gain a lot of knowledge !!!
Dr. Nosiri was amazing. Very clear rubrics that made it easy to understand what was expected. She grades quickly and gives great feedback. She's also extremely understanding and fair. Participation does matter, of course, since it's an online course. I would definitely take another class with her!
There is a substantial amount of reading; two discussions per week and several assignments that prepare for the final research paper. Professor Nosiri responds to emails almost instantly, with clear guidance. As for each online class what you put in is important. It is a level 3 so do not expect easy unless you just want to learn on the surface.
Professor Chizoma Nosiri is amazing! At the end of class, I had an 89.3 and needing 0.7% more points for an A to finish out my undergrad. With only a few minutes left before all final grades had to be submitted, I reached out asking if I could do ANYTHING to make up those points. When I refreshed my page, she had given them to me. She is God sent!
Great Professor, really works with students during hard times. Provides great feedback with examples. She provides great lectures and cares if the students are receiving the information provided. Outstanding professor.
Prof Nosiri provided excellent feedback for my Senior Capstone Project.
Seems to read through everything. Grades items quickly. Responds to questions and inquiries within a reasonable time.
I enjoyed Dr. Nosiri's class. The weekly assignments will turn into your last project so DO THEM EVERY WEEK if you want to pass the class. Be prepared to write a lot. Her work is clear-cut, do what she asks you to do and you'll do great! She's very quick to reply and gives good feedback.
Dr. Nosiri is professional and knowledgable. She guided our class to improve our projects and our communication. Her feedback helped me to develop a great COMM portfolio and a final project that I feel confident in presenting as a credential to my work. She is responsive and keeps up with feedback and grading.
I definitely recommend Dr. Nosiri! This class was tough, but assignments were pretty fun to complete. I really liked submitting a draft weeks before the final assignment was due, it helped me be more prepared for the final assignment versus cramming to complete them. She was also very quick to respond to questions from students.
Dr. Nosiri, was one of the best professors I have ever had. I would definitely take more courses taught by her if I wasnt graduating.
Professor was really passionate about not only film, but everything that goes into making them, appreciating them, and really learning from them.
Professor Nosiri was a great teacher. She is very passionate about class and cares about the success of her students.
Prof Nosiri made the class enjoyable by havng group participation. This was an in person classroom. Be ready to watch movies that you would not necessarly watch. She has a passion about films and what goes into making them. I learned a lot and will probably look at films differently. Would definitely recommend her class!
Assignments in the content were confusing as they were put in different weeks than the ""DUE" week. Not much clarity on the papers.
Amazing professor. Just turn in your work on time and you will be fine.
Dr. Nosiri is a top notch educator. I enjoyed your style, she was there for me and I knew that by the way she delivered the lesson material. (Online instruction).
Dr. Nosiri's class is a must take. Do the work, follow the assignment rules and get an A.
I would say the level of difficulty is more of a 2.5, not too easy not too hard. Dr. Nosiri is an absolutely awesome instructor and a very fair grader. She believe's in her students and pushes them to resubmit assignments to improve their grade. I really enjoyed taking her class and I would recommend her to anyone.
This wasn't your average, boring online class where everyone did the exact same work. Dr. Nosiri gave a lot of different options every week so you weren't stuck trying to find creative ways of saying the same thing to 2-4 people in discussion boards every week. She definitely kept it interesting.
Dr. Nosiri was great, I would definitely take one of her classes again! Three assignments plus a research paper for the final. Two discussions per week with lots of options making the discussions more interesting. Dr. Nosiri graded quickly with great feedback- very encouraging! Follow the rubrics and participate - you'll do fine.
This class was a lot of work. I took an accelerated course, so maybe that's why. I felt like every week I had to really read and understand to move on. However, I really did learn. What's great is that this professor really does read the stuff students write, and gives good feedback. I feel confident that I will remember the content I learned.
I absolutely LOVED this class (COMM 302 online); Dr. Nosiri is a fantastic professor. The content was interesting, engaging, and she graded super quickly. Highly, highly recommend her if you need someone who is ready at the drop of a hat to answer questions and provide clarification. Good Luck!!
Very engaging class but a lot of reading materials. Fair grader and gives great feedback.
I am by no means an aspiring journalist. The professor made the class very manageable.
Prof. Nosiri was great! She graded assignments quickly and gave good feedback. She emailed me back within a timely manner and answered all of my questions. She was very active in the weekly discussion post and kept the class interesting. If you do not do your weekly post and assignments you will not pass.
Dr. Nosiri is one of the best communication studies professors at UMGC. I definitely recommend her class, as long as you do the work, and participate there is no way you can fail. she was available for any questions or concerns. I would definitely take her classes any day.
Dr. Nosiri is an amazing professor. She is thoughtful and answers any questions you have. She is understanding and thorough in her responses! GREAT PROFESSOR - Angelina Peters
Dr. Nosiri is an awesome professor. She is clear, helpful, and accessible. I had her for another class as well - which is why I chose her to be my Senior Seminar class professor. One of the best professors in UMGC!
Professor Nosiri is easily one of the best instructors I ever had! I previously failed this course with another teacher; however, with Doctor Nosiri at the helm she made sure that wouldn't happen twice. And not only that, but she helped me get an A. Do yourself a favor and sign up for every class with Professor Nosiri. She's simply the best.
Dr. Nosiri is well knowledgeable of the course, has humility, and is attentive to the needs of students. She is a mentor who leads by example.
After reading reviews on the other professors offering this course, I decided to wait for Dr. Nosiris class. Im so glad I did. The course is built to support you through your final project. Dr. Nosiri provided an engaging atmosphere for students to construct their communication packages. Great professor! Highly recommend.
The grading criteria is clear and fair as long as you submit assignments on time and follow the rubric.
Professional and offered good feedback on all assignments.
Dr Nosiri was always available to clarify things and to encourage. She got back swiftly so you could keep moving forward. Active participant in the discussions without seeking attention for herself. Genuinely supportive, insightful, committed to each person's success. There are none better.
Dr. Nosiri has been one of the most influential professors I have ever had. She was available for questions on assignments, participated in discussions, and helped me write the best paper I have ever written. I strongly recommend everyone who can take COMM302 with her to sign up for the course- you will not regret it!
Professor Nosiri is a no nonsense instructor that believes in her students. She takes time to explain what you may not understand, offers makeup work for those who might need it, and gives brief but insightful feedback and grades all through the course virtually within 24-48 hours of assignment completion.
Quite literally the best teacher I've had at UMUC. Very accommodating to life circumstances, fair grader, the professor made the class interesting and easily accessible. I wish I had Dr. Nosiri for all of my classes.
The professor has demonstrated her knowledge towards the subject and provides useful resources that can help students in learning the course material. The course itself is very interesting since it focuses on how visuals are used to communicate emotions and messages.
Prof. Nosiri provides all the materials needed to pass this class. Ensure you provide detailed discussion answers and responses and follow all APA rules in your assignments. If your work doesn't reflect that you've read and applied the course material appropriately, you will be graded accordingly. This class is not hard if you follow directions.
This was an online course so I can not speak to how Professor Nosiri is in person but for this class she was wonderful to have. Very helpful with questions and understanding about issues that came up with a late assignment. Assignments were explained thoroughly and graded fairly.
An amazing professor! Understanding and provides great feedback!
Dr. Nosiri was very responsive and helpful any time I had questions or needed help. She is a good communicator and made the course very enjoyable.
I like the way that the professor set you up for success. The weekly assignments were helpful to get you started with the major assignments.
Very poor direction given on assignments, unresponsive outside of the classroom and does not offer further direction when asking for help. WOULD NOT RECCOMEND
Dr. Nosiri grades fairly and the course wasn't hard. As a student, you just have to do the work and make the deadlines. The professor is very laid back but always provides feedback in discussions, feedback on assignments, and feedback when you reach out. Effortless class, but will require you to manage your time.
Really understanding and kind professor. Do the work, respect your classmates and you will be fine.
Dr. Nosiri had fair grading and always let me know what was missing and why I didn't get full marks. My one complaint is that multiple times I reached out for more information or clarification and received it, only to get a somewhat contradictory grade after following the response.
The professor was very helpful and allowed me to correct mistakes to re-submit for a better grade. Expectations were clear and there was a routine set up for each week.
I highly recommend taking ARTH334 with Professor Chizoma Nosiri. Her passion for the subject is evident in every session, and her clear approach makes complex concepts easy to grasp. Furthermore, her commitment to her students' success is exceptional; she is always willing to provide additional guidance and personalized support.
Gives great feedback on grading and provides details on what needs to revised on assignments
I really liked Dr. Nosiri and would definitely take another course with her. The class was laid out very well and the instructions for each assignment were easy to follow. She is a quick grader and provides great feedback when it comes to assignments. Course load is standard weekly discussions, a few assignments and a final project.
Great professor, class was a breath of fresh air!
This professor was very responsive when I would reach out with questions and offered great feedback throughout the class.
This course may seem like a lot initially, but everything will connect. You must stay on top of the discussions and the assignments, so you will not be behind. Professor Nosiri gives great feedback. You will know what needs to be done and what needs to be changed. You will not have to guess or figure it out on your own. Step-by-step instructions.
Dr. Nosiri was very helpful throughout the course and very understanding of my needs in the class. Feedback was appreciated and class discussions also helped, which helped in learning more of that subject. I enjoyed the assignments despite the project heavy course due to it being a capstone. I definitely would recommend.
Professor Nosiri was great! If you stay on top of all the the weekly discussion posts it really helps set you up for success in your final project. She gives great feedback on what to work on for each assignments.
Dr. Nosiri is intelligent and gives amazing feedback to help you grow.
She is an amazing professor. Of all the online courses that I've taken so far at UMGC, she was the most engaged professor I've had. She very actively participates in Discussion posts and gives weekly course updates. She grades very fairly and extremely promptly. I would gladly take another one of her classes.
