Scala talks very loud and fast. She is nice and always seems exited about what she is teaching. Sometimes she interrupts you because she gets all exited and has to say something. We watch clips from Friends on youtube every class and take notes. Tests are all multiple choice and not hard if you read the textbook. I would recommend her.

Fun teacher, tons of enegry, grades easy on the labs, tests are a little diffuclt, make sure to really study for it! Takes attendance seriously and class goes by fast.

Jill is one of the best instructors I have ever had. She is very support, very non-judgmental, and full of information. I have learned so much for her ... she's fabulous!

She was a new marketing teacher with a big class. She cared. Love her!

Easy class. I got a 100% on the midterm. Gives you a big study guide which is exactly like the test. 1 group project that is easy and fun. Jill Scala is really nice and loves marketing. She plays funny commercials in class somethings. Class vibe is super laid back. Take her!!

Jill is fantastic. She is super helpful and incredibly clear on what she wants done and when. She is majorly friendly and makes everyone feel welcome into her class. I have taken 2 classes with Jill so far and I want to take all she has to offer. One of my favorite professors. TAKE HER CLASSES!

Best teacher ever! Best class I've taken so far! Won't miss a day, because of Jill!

Definitely my favorite class this semester! Jill is very clear as to what she expects from her students, and makes class fun, and gives you real businesses to work with! If you pay attention in class and use the studyguide she provides for the midterm and final, it's an easy A!

I love Jill! She's a great professor and extremely knowledgable when it comes to Sales & Marketing. She is a little scattered, and you can tell her personal life affects her mood while teaching. Other than that, her assignments are straightforward (out of the book) and her tests aren't challenging if you read. Sometimes she even allows notes!

I have taken multiple courses with Jill and have never had a problem. I intentionally enroll in courses of hers now for both online and in lecture for marketing and comm. She's clear, to the point, very friendly and will be there for you if you ask her for any help or are unsure! I recommend her, definitely.

Jill is just so nice, she has good lectures and tries har best to be creative! In this class you have a quiz every week, whitch is a bit hard, but you get used to it.

I've had Jill in a couple of classes, and she is one of the best teachers in my opinion. Not only did she help me with her class, she also helped me with other things that made me a better student. If you want a teacher that can help you succeed, she is the one.

Online. Required group discussions & quizzes are easy points but mostly tedious/no value, would prefer to spend the time on the reading & assignments which were lengthy but important. Directions weren't always clear so it took longer to get started just trying to imagine what she wanted, none the less, she's nice, communicative & fair with grading.

Jill is one of the nicest professors i have met so far. I took her class last semester and she is just a sweetheart, she might be all over the place sometimes but who isn't? I loved her and will definitely take her again! and I took her class for GE

This is a Comm class with group projects, and presentations. Interesting course. Professor Scala tries to make lessons practical, which I like. Fast talker, so be ready to listen, but makes things fun, and integrates the class very effectively. Excellent instructor. I would definitely take her again.

Fairly easy class. Pretty much do everything in groups including the two major projects. She is pretty unorganized and isn't very clear on homework assignments and when they are due. She never mentions it but attendance is a huge chunk of the grade. If you go to class and do all the work youll do well.

Jill is a caring person but her teaching style is disorganized and she cancelled class like 5 times. I like her and would take her again but she definitely needs to show up more prepared. Pretty easy class, just do the work and study for the tests. Make sure you get the vocab down

I really loved this class. My friends had recommended it to me and I would take it again. Jill is very personable and kind. I found her lectures & projects very interesting and helpful in my everyday life. She is understanding on grading. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn useful information from an outstanding teacher.

Good teacher, totally nice and totally open with her classmates. Tries to create a fun and interactive classroom. Really easy class as long as you just simply do your work and participation. She grades mostly based on participation anyway, it makes the class a lot more lively too! Good class 10/10 would take again.

Professor Scala, is a great teacher. She expects you to do your best and is ALWAYS willing help to do so. Im a DSPS student and was worried that I wouldnt do so well going back to school. Jills way of teaching prepared me to be a great student, in All my classes. This is the 4th class Ive taken by Jill and hopefully not my last. I give Jill A+

Take Professor Scalas class was so fun! She was easy going, approachable and so friendly. I really enjoyed her class this year and finished with an A. Engage and have fun, and youll do great! Highly recommend this class! Not to mention you learn so much about life, and how to enhance your own relationships!

Professor Scala always made class fun and interesting. She came prepared each class with videos, activities, and hilarious personal stories that related to the topic. I would highly recommend this class!

Jill is a mentor inside and outside of the classroom. Her love for her students and daughter, the craft of communication, and teaching is a beautiful and inspirational thing to observe. The respect with which she treats her students equips her students with the confidence necessary for success.

I took 3 courses with Jill as my professor. I am now finishing up her FIN 100 course. I think she is great! Positive and willing to explain things thoroughly. I am an older adult going back to school and Jill is one of my professors who creates a conducive atmosphere for someone like me who has been out of school a long time.

I took her marketing 203 online class and I wanted to say that you should sign up for her class because she is a very helpful professor and if you are struggling or need help, even through online she will do what she can to make you succeed if you want it too!

Great teacher. Highly recommend!

You should definitely take this class with Prof. Scala. it has had such a positive impact on how I communicate with people in my life. Plus, it really taught me to be responsible with deadlines and encouraged me to talk to/meet new people. I cant imagine anyone regretting it.

One of my all-time favorite professors. She inspired me to become a COMM major. She explains things very well and knows what she's talking about. Not too many assignments, only 2 presentations, and the tests are not over complicated. Take her class!

The greatest comm teacher Ive ever taken, hands down.

Take her! The work might be a handful if you procrastinate but its honestly not a lot of work. Jill Scala is one of the best teachers at city college not just the comm department. I had her 3 time once face to face and 2 online; I passed all three. She is definitely top 3 communication professors at SBCC & I had about 5 diff teachers. No Cap!

Jill was a pretty fun teacher, I enjoyed going to her class. She always has funny examples of trying to relate the material to our lives. She's really funny and very nice. She does seem to be a little unorganized and missed a handful of classes but other than that I really enjoyed her.

This is my first semester with online classes. Professor Scala is accessible anytime and provides a text number to reach her. She is caring and passionate about students and called me at home when I missed assignments to make sure I was ok. Her assignments are real world applicable and these have made me a better daughter and girlfriend.

Take this class - Professor Scala is one of the nicest teachers at SBCC. I took her class during the pandemic, so everything was online. We only had 2 zoom meetings, which were for the speeches. There are about 5 discussion posts, quizzes every week (open note), and 2 speeches. She responds to emails very quickly. She gives great feedback on your

Inspired me to change majors to Communication.  This is the most valuable course to learn about communication, my relationships & myself. Practical assignments prepared me for life. All of my relationships improved using the skills learned. She is passionate and cares about your success. Willing to meet anytime day/night around your schedule!10/10

Variety of activities, which makes the online class more fun. You do not have to do a discussion every week and she is very clear with the material and content

Professor Scala is open minded and supportive. Assignments are relevant to everyday life not busy work. 2 presentations but are easy to follow with a word for word rubric of expectations. One of the few online instructors that respond quickly to email/text messages. Provides positive feedback on assignments. Willing to accommodate students

Good class. The quizzes can be challenging. Prof. Scala is very helpful and worked with me when I had personal things come up during the semester. She also gives out her phone number. She's not a hard grader. As long as you do the assignments and read the chapter before the quizzes you'll be fine.

Prof Scala is extremely understanding when personal situations come up and is flexible with her time/ deadlines to ensure her students success. She is an approachable and passionate prof and it's not hard to tell she loves her job. Prof Scala is a gem of a teacher and any student would be lucky to land a spot in her class before they fill up.

Prof Scala is such an amazing teacher! She really cares and goes out of her way to help insure your success in the course. Her assignments are sometimes unconventional yet hold great value, as you learn skills that you never knew youd need in the job market, meaning so much more than whats on the surface. Shes the best. Pulls the best out of you.

Professor Scala is an excellent teacher and very knowledgeable in business communication. Not too many assignments, and they are all very helpful In learning new skills. Responds quickly and truly cares about students. She called me at home when I missed work.

Professor Scala was a great teacher. Always available, always a smile/willing to help. Unfortunately, she doesn't organize well. The modules were all over the place and it was hard because she posted so many different instruction sheets. Hard to keep track. Easy A once you get the hang of her pattern. She is very sweet though and a big help!

Shes an awesome professor! She cares alot about her students, and is very funny! Can always come to her for questions about assignments and has a clear grading system. Participate and turn in assignments on time and you will pass.

Ms. Scala is the most caring Professor you could have, She offers to help a lot of students and really helped me learn more in the class.

I loved her class ! She was very nice and definitely cared about her students. The class was somewhat easy if you read the book you will pass! No homework and not a lot of assignments a few important assignments and presentations. Would 100% recommend Jill! She seems very understanding!

This class surpassed my expectations. I was able to apply what I learned in both professional life and to improve personal relationships. I have told all of my friends to take this course. My instructor was always available if I had questions. She is passionate and caring with lot of business communication experience

She's a very kind and caring teacher. Very passionate about the subject and easy to reach out to for help. Textbook is very interesting to read. Overall, easy class and important communication skills to learn. The canvas page is a little bit confusing and disorganized but you can ask her anything.

Loves job and students. Wants students to take away something meaningful and explains how to implement skill into everyday life. Canvas can be hard to follow at times but instructor sends announcements 2x a week to keep students on track. quick in responding via email or text. Understanding and caring. For overachievers, offers helpful resources.

Prof. Scala is so kind and it is obvious she cares about her students. She is very passionate about what she teaches and really wants her students to use what they have learned. There were two speeches in this class along with quizzes and discussions. All of the assignments were useful and not just busy work. I definitely recommend this class!

Prof. Scala is such a kind lady and seems like she is very passionate about comm and teaching, but her directions are very unclear. Hard to follow. Her instructions are just so confusing. Like, for one assignment it said: "step one; follow all instructions." Uh okay yeah that's what I am currently trying to do.

She's super nice and her class is pretty interesting. She genuinely cares about her students and wants everyone to do well. Her canvas is sometimes confusing to follow and some instructions are unclear. other than that, she's a great professor!

Exceptional professor real life examples, engaging, interactive discussions, and multimedia resources makes complex theories interesting. Tonight we had a 2 hour discussion on a difficult chapter. She made me feel important, motivated me to excel in my comm rlsps. Caring, genuine and passion for her students. Feedback is constructive.

Very nice prof just like most of the other comm profs at sbcc! She is understanding and supportive and wants you to do your best and feel your best. Took the summer course and workload is manageable bc it's asynchronous. Get ready to make speeches, just like comm 131 & 141. Text needed and hw discussions and other assignments.

Thoughtful and understanding. Professor called me at home to make sure I was ok and understood the presentation assignment. Spent 30+min on assignment but also took time to get to know me. Accessible anytime via text. Wish more teachers were like this.. Definitely take this course.

Great class, It would have been better live or hybrid because I am a comm and business major. The group assignment can be challenging but all of the assignments are practical and applicable to my life. She provides a lot of feedback and sends weekly updates. If you need to meet, just email and you can zoom.

My 2nd class with Prof. Scala. While another student noted communication problems, I had the opposite experience. She is available by email & mobile number, she has been supportive when a personal situation arose gave me extra time. I know she had a family matter that came up last semester. She truly cares about her students success.

Love this class and relevant to my life! She genuinely cares about her students' success and called me personally to help me get back on track. No busy work, assignments were relatable to my life. She provides personalized feedback for assignments and also shares other examples to show how to improve. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed the content and value I got from this class, and I think Professor Scala is fantastic teacher. Her curriculum was very clear and I learned a lot from it especially about relationships. The knowledge was very practical!

best professor ever

Professor Scala is one of the most exceptional educators I've encountered. Her communication skills are unparalleled; she explains complex concepts with remarkable clarity, ensuring every student grasps the material. What truly sets her apart is the impeccable structure of her course. The syllabus is thoughtfully designed and easy to understand

Thanks to Professor Scala's teaching prowess, this class was the easiest I've taken in college. Her ability to break down challenging topics into manageable segments made learning enjoyable and stress-free. Her lectures were engaging, and she always encouraged active participation, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment.

love it! 161 recommend team role-play as hiring managers interviewed students and picked who to hire. Fun in lab w/free food. 121 helped communicate w/family. Office hr flexible and at night. All assignments posted for whole semester but she allowed late work. Great teacher. Wanna pass read announcements.

Professor Scala was AMAZING. She is understanding and took the time to explain assignments. I also really liked how the entire semester was posted in the beginning, so I knew what was expected of me. She also posted announcements in advance, so I had enough time to complete assignments. Finally, I appreciated her fast and helpful replies.

Jill Scala is an excellent professor!! I am so happy that I enrolled in her COMM 131 course for the Summer Session. I didn't know what to expect, but the assignments she presented allowed for us students to expand our knowledge of topics and subjects that of our choice & present them. 100% Recommend!! In fact I will take another of hers if I can !!
