Very easy class! If you want an easy A this is it. I think I got over 100% in the class. She offers very generous extra credit. But you really do have to go to class because that's where a lot of her quiz questions come from. So go to class, pay some attention and you'll get an A!

PR class

Cool, fun class. We do most of the work during the lab time so there's little homework, but she's a hard grader. You should be prepared to become a good writer in this class.

Erin is an excellent professor. As long as you don't skip class, you will do all right in her class, as there's practically no homework.

She is extremely kind and helpful. She is a very honest, gentle person.

Journalism 220 was one of the easiest classes I've ever taken at Iowa State and Erin fully acknowledged that. She's a really cool professor although her lectures pretty much just consist of her reading slides. Go to class to get all of the in class points and you'll get an A for sure.

Easy enough class. As long as you show u, you'll get a good grade. There wasn't a ton of work to do outside of class. She was nice and encouraged students to ask questions during class.

Intro to PR was definitely an easy A. Attendance wasn't mandatory but approximately 5-7 random 5 point assignments were given through out the semester so it was smart to attend. She was really knowledgeable on PR but seemed to maybe strongly dislike journalism. Overall, I enjoyed the class and passed with hardly any effort at all.

Don't need to go to class at all. There are random in class points so that helps in the end but the tests are crazy easy so it's not the end of the world if you miss them. Everyone I know got over a 100% on basically all of the tests. She's a good teacher and actually knows what she's talking about. Very nice.

Wonderful teacher. She's a master at the subject. Assignments are fair and representative of the class. Took this as a communications elective as a science major. She made me interested in all aspects of PR. Put effort in to the class and it's an easy A. Easily my favorite teacher I've had at ISU.

She teaches quite well. The classes are fun and interesting with discussions on current events and videos.Just attend the class regularly, study for the exam and you can easily have an A. Make sure to go for the extra credit opportunity events.

Had here for 101 after Barbara Mack tragically passed away. She was even totally ok with everyone calling her Erin. She was way too easy in this class. Taking 321 with her next semester, hopeful easy again

She is always happy. Class is pretty easy. You don't have to every class to get a good grade. And she has great school spirit!

Love her! She's always very peppy and her class is fairly easy! Gives you the exams before you take them so all you have to do is find the answers and study that. Will definitely take another class with her :)

Great prof! Super easy class, and all test questions are given out before the test is posted online; essentially, everyone can and usually does get an A. If you do not attend class, which many people don't, be sure to come for review sessions and be wary of occasional in-class points.

Super easy class. I haven't been to the lecture in over a month, and I currently have an A.

She gives test questions the class before test week which rocks, but sometimes the test questions are trivial and not that important to the overall class.

She is very different in 321 than 101. Very tough class, should only take if you are committed to PR. No extra credit, and attendance is required. Lots of in class projects that she has you do on your own, with little or no help. Negatives aside, she is still one of the best in Greenlee.

This was the easiest A I have ever gotten. You don't have to go to class except on the review days where she gives out all of the test questions. There are assignments online each week, but you can do them as many times as you want and they are only 5 multiple choice questions. She offers a ton of extra credit. It is impossible to not get an A

The subject itself is not hard at all, and you can miss half the classes, show up for review days and be fine. There are sone in class points that you might miss, but overall she makes the tests fairly simple, and she is entertaining in class.

Easy class, gave all of the test questions beforehand and you just had to look them up in the book. Would've done a lot better if I went to class, but almost pulled an A anyways

Great teacher. Gives you every test question in class. Down to earth and lets you watch movies occasionally

Totally cares about her students.

Erin is an awesome professor. She really cares about PR and that shines through in her lectures. She provides study guides for every test so make sure to go to the class before the test opens up. I would take any class I could with her!

Professor Wilgenbusch makes this class as easy as could be. All of her assignments can be retaken until you get full points. The Friday before every exam, she gives you all the questions that will be on the exam. She gives you a full week to take exams as well. Super easy class and it is super easy to skip as well. Highly recommended!

This is the easiest class at Iowa State. If you need an easy elective, take this class.

Erin is the reason why I want to take on a career in Public Relations. This class is an easy A, but I enjoyed hearing her lectures. She is very knowledgable on the subject and is a professional in the field.

Very easy intro class, didn't even for most of the semester. Quizzes online for each chapter -- answers are above the quiz for you. Go to lecture day before test, she gives you the question bank -- easy A in the testing center. Pulled an easy A in the class overall.

This is the best teacher I ever had at Iowa State! She is so nice in and out of the lecture hall. She connects current information to different things in the world and that helps you learn easily

Erin is amazing. She's clear, entertaining, and knowledgable. She made me feel that I'm on the right path as a PR major.

Erin is a great professor that is easy to talk to. She is very relatable and cares about her students. If you have the chance to take a class from her, do it!

Erin is very nice and teaches a very interesting and fun class no matter what. She is very passionate about PR and her students. However, sometimes she talks to the students like we're children and can come off as very condescending. Show up to class for sometimes random class points. Very easy.

Great professor. Really knows what she's talking about. You won't get a syllabus outlining your class schedule - but you will instead have to check your course calendar on Blackboard which can get annoying. Check for weekly assignments she puts on Blackboard - otherwise you won't know about them. Easy A.

Most points in the course come from in-class assignments. Plenty of assignments throughout the semester, but overall it helps in learning the content. Tests are more practical than in most classes. Can be a tough grader and isn't afraid to take off tenths of points, but rubrics come with almost every assignment which helps.

Awesome teacher. Always in a good mood during lectures, very clear about assignments and tests, and she makes class interesting. If you have a chance to take a class with her, DO IT.

She is incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and experienced. She always tries to help students and her classes are easy to pass as long as you put in the required amount of effort. She is always in your corner as a student and very helpful in all areas. She cares a lot and makes you a better person and journalist afterwards.

Erin is great, but I found her lectures boring. You don't need to take notes or even really show up as long as you attend the exam review section - she tells you everything you need to know and additional study isn't usually necessary to get an A. The only writing you have to do is submit a short, 250 word essay following a prompt. Easy, easy, easy

Super easy class. Mrs. W makes it exciting and connects with students on a modern level about social media platforms and the history about communication. It may seem like it's a boring topic but she makes it captivating. If you pay attention and put in a little effort you can get an easy A in the class.

Erin is very caring and is always willing to work with you. If you show up to class, you will be able to receive extra credit points for TopHat. However, if you miss a class, you won't fall too behind. Every assignment (short 100-200 word essay each week) and test is very manageable. Take this class if you want an easy A while also learning a lot!

She is a great professor, but make sure you go. A good amount of tests with weekly questions. Review days before every test. DO NOT pack up early.

Here's what you do. 1.) Don't buy the book 2.) Participate in the top hat lectures, either in class or at home 3.) Go to the test review Friday's, she gives you every question on the test 4.) Do the weekly writing assignments and extra credit opportunities 5.) Pass with a 100%.

Don't bother buying the book. She never said anything about the weekly assignments, so make sure you check the course calendar or you will completely miss easy (and needed) points. She puts all the notes online so attendance isn't necessary, but go to the reviews if you want exams to go well and answer the tophat questions from home.

I had JLMC 101 & PR 220 with Erin, and I LOVED them. You can most definitely tell she is enthusiastic about what she does. It is clear she is highly experienced in the PR field and has a great network. She offers extra credit, lectures are interesting bc of the way she speaks. No quizzes just tests -she prepares you very well for them

I love her. She's super awesome, understanding, and really knows her stuff. Extremely experienced. She's funny, and doesn't grade too many things. There's exam grade and then a tophat extra credit percentage at the end of the semester but she also has extra credit things here and there.

Although the lectures can seem long, Wilgenbusch is amazing to listen to. She uses TopHat for every lecture with questions that give you participation points and tests are every 3rd week at the testing center.

Even though this class is at 8am, Erin really makes it enjoyable. Super easy tests every 3 weeks as long as you go to the review classes and study. No need to read the textbook, everything is discussed in lecture or can be found on Quizlets online. Easy homework once every week, Top Hat participation counts as extra credit. Interesting course!

Erin is a PR Professional and is extremely knowledgeable. Super easy tests every 3 weeks as long as you go to the review classes and study. No need to read the textbook, everything is discussed in lecture or can be found on Quizlets online. Easy homework once every week, Top Hat participation counts as extra credit. It's set up the same as JLMC101.

Wonderful professor! Her lectures are amazing!

Great professor. One of the easiest courses you could possibly take. She gives you the test the week before the exam so you have the chance to look over and just memorize the answers. She's a very respectful professor and I would definitely take the course again.

I LOVE this professor. She is a PR Professional and she knows what she is doing. She is passionate about what she is teaching and makes her lectures (even at 8 am) very interesting. She says the textbook is required and that you have to read it, but I didn't even open it once because I got so much interesting information from her lectures. Tophat

Erin is the best PR professor at ISU. This class is a big group project, a medium sized single project and group discussion posts every week. Erin is a great, funny professor who truly cares about her students.

Erin is one my the BEST professors I've encountered at Iowa State! She is so knowledgeable and has a lot of field experience to share. Even at 8 AM, she works so hard to keep her lectures relevant and interesting. Only 5 exams (drop one) and a short weekly assignment. TopHat is extra credit! If you have the opportunity to have Erin, take it!

Tophat for lots of EC. You maybe should go to class for that and the review session before the exams but other than that you can learn everything from the tophat slides and google the terms on the study guides she posts. Drops lowest exam. Lots of other EC. Easy A but shes a qualified PR professional so her lectures are relevant and interesting.

I got over 100% in this class with Erin. Take this class even if you don't need the credit. It's a ridiculously easy GPA booster and it's kind of interesting. I only went to class on syllabus day... This class isn't even in my major, just an elective. TAKE THIS CLASS ERIN IS AWESOME. Extra Credit is offered a lot and for a lot of points. HW is EASY

Lectures are very interesting if you are into media and history. She is very laid back and really nice. You will have 4 exams in total, but she drops one. Weekly homework over topics in class. So many easy EC opportunities so make sure to take advantage of those as you can get up to 40 points. She does use Tophat so go to class to get easy points.

Go to class and you'll get a good grade. Textbook is required for homework but most questions are common sense so you'll find you rarely use it. She is an amazing professor who really cares about her students and her lectures are fun. Attendance isn't required but it'll make the class super easy. Go to in class review for tests.

This class was enjoyable. Erin was a great professor and made the material interesting. Assignments and tests were easy if you study. Attendance was not mandatory but she gives points via tophat participation so definitely show up for that!

Erin is an awesome professor. Gives all kinds of extra credit. Literally, show up, pay 70% attention, easy A. Also, I actually really enjoyed her lectures.

PR 220 was the second class I've taken with professor Wilgenbusch and I was glad to have her again. This course was similar to JLMC 101. You have a weekly question to answer relating to what has been said in lecture. Easy exams(4), lowest drops. TopHat with every lecture. The book makes things a bit easier, but it's honestly not a necessity.

PR 220 is a very straightforward class and Ms. Wilgenbusch does a great job teaching it. She provides you with all the materials you need to succeed in her class and it will be your own fault if you fail. Highly recommend!

Prof Wilgenbusch provides all the things necessary to succeed in her class, if you don't succeed it was more than likely that you didn't do the one assignment a week.

Erin is a great teacher! I love her lectures, and I learned so much! However, you should show up to class to understand everything and get all of the deadlines for assignments & exams.

If you are a Public Relations student Erin is the person to know. You do need to read the textbooks and take light notes. There are 4 exams. No cumulative final exam. Lectures every day. No group projects. 5 point HW assignments are due every week.

An amazing professor, she is understanding and very knowledgeable. She uses top hat for extra credit at the end of the semester. it is a lecture heavy class but she makes the lectures interesting. This is an easy class if you need the credit.

10/10 Easier class. Great teacher, had clear grading criteria, and posted lecture slides. As long as you have the study guide, you're going to ace the test

Erin is a great professor and is great at her profession. She brings modern topic into play, along with how everything about PR has come about. She currently works in PR alongside being a professor, so that allows her to explain modern day examples that are key to the industry. I loved this class because she does a good job of catching attention.

Loved Her. She respects your time, and listens to student feedback. Was very clear in her lectures!

Erin is an incredible lecturer and professor. She makes a lecture heavy class really interesting and engaging, and cares about her student's success. Tests are worth the majority of your grade, but she gives a review day and almost everything ties back to the study guide. Cannot recommend her enough!

Wilgenbusch is the professor I want to take every Greenlee class with. She understands how a student learns, and so she taught this class through terms you need to know for the test and gives real world examples on them. She is very kind and overall a great professor!

She actually made it enjoyable to go to class.

Easy class, be aware of random attendance points on tophat

I loved Erin's class - she is really great at making lectures interesting and involving the class. She uses tophat, and you also have an assigned group that you answer random questions with. But I always did well on tests in her class because she went over the study guide question by question and also shared the slides and information.

Shes entertaining during class but sometimes didnt seem worth it to go since material was all posted on canvas

Professor Wilgenbusch was a great instructor. She was harsh and blunt at times, but got her point across well, which was all that mattered. She has a study guide review in class, which is extremely helpful. She uses tophat for attendance, which goes in the gradebook at the end of the semester, so it is mandatory. She allows 3 absences all semester.

PR 2200 was an amazing class to take, especially when first starting out in college because she doesn't bombard you with work and papers. She does take attendance but will drop 3 at the end of the semester if you miss some. She always goes over the study guide in class and it is exactly the same as the test. Overall, a great class to take!

Erin is THE professor to take PR courses from. She is incredibly helpful and kind, the kind of professor that wants to see her students succeed!!!! 4240 is not difficult, but the concepts can be difficult. Just apply yourself, do the work, show up to class, and you'll be fine. I love this capstone class!

Very nice professor who dove into the texts very well. Would always take her time to greet people in the class, even those who sat all the way in the back. Weekly assignment was very easy and exams were straightforward if you went to class and did brief studying before.
