Took this class online, great professor! She was very cool about everything and when most of us did bad on the first quiz she helped us and gave us another chance. She also canceled the final. Every week you have to complete a quiz, video quiz and a post. If you read the chapters you'll do fine. Two speeches which are very easy. GREAT CLASS!!

I took this class online over the summer. The work load was reasonable, 5 discussion posts, 2 video projects, and the textbook chapter exams. The chapter exams had no due date, except they all had to be completed by finals week. No midterm, no final. When you 'like' her Facebook page, she shares interesting posts.

Easy class. 5 Discussion posts that require some thought. If you ony put two minutes into it, she'll give you a grade you deserve. Take your time and get an A. No midterm no final. Two speeches and a project. Should be an easy A. Don't leave chapter exams until the end because those are not hard but are time consuming. Her classes fill fast!

Read chapters,discussion posts,quizzes for each chap,only 3 speeches with outlines for the last 2, midterm but no final. To be fair,she's a fair grader and gives A's if you do work

I took her for summer, but she was a good one. I hardly did not use the book, only to find the answer for the final exam study guide. Since this was summer, you submit all your work online, presentation, journals, etc, except for exam. Take her for summer cause is super easy A, if u are shy in presentation. Only did 1 presentation in class.

Her classes are very easy, but attendance does count as part of your final grade, so if you miss class you will lose points. Also, if you hate politics, don't take her class, because she talks about the latest political news and shows videos of politicians' speeches for about half of it. If you love politics, then her class is highly recommended.
