great lady...very sweet and made class fun
Greatest MC Teacher at school.
very nice lady
She has a ton of chances for extra credit, gives you 20 questions to look at before the test out of her 50 question exams. So funny and so sweet! She's a great professor, this is what they all should be like! You won't mind coming to class.
doesnt go over notes, just expects us to do well on the tests. classes are wasteful on other material, and not what is important to succeed in the class.
Dr. Fluker is an amazing teacher. She is interesting, and makes class fun.Lots of absence make up offorutnies. Get point on AVERAGE if you dont miss class. Intro to mass comm is a great class, and she even let everyone be exempt from the final if they were happy with their grade. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!!
dr. fluker was my favorite teacher so far! she is awesome. her classes are fun and interesting. and she has possible test questions before each test. if you read what you are supposed to and go to class you should do fine.
She is one of the nicest teachers I've ever had and she makes class fun. She's a really sweet lady and very funny. She makes an 8:00am class not so bad.
excellent
hard to go to class, but shes very nice and helps everyone out a lot
She's freaking hilarious! She makes an 8am class a hell of a lot of fun!

If this is your major (or you're even somewhat interested) this is the class and professor to pick!!
Dr. Fluker is amazing. I had her for an 8am and actually looked forward to going to class every single time. She makes the material interesting, and has the best energy and personality, plus a great sense of humor. The best prof I've ever had.
SHE IS THE SMARTEST, MOST TALENTED WOMAN THAT I HAVE EVER MET. SHE GOES OUT OF HER WAY TO HELP YOU AND HER GOALS ARE MET WHEN YOU SUCCEED. JUST AWESOME- GREAT HAIR!!
Simply amazing!
Sow how many of us are taking her in the 8am class this fall 2005 semester?...She is hilarious. She could really do stand up comedy as a profession. She is that funny.

professor l.fluker is the most awesomest professor ever! it's so great having her as my mass comm class because she truly goes over the material in ways students can understand.
She is the reason that I even wake up for my 8 am class, I love her she is so funny!!
shes so cool
Tough class, tough strict rules...but a great professor who cares and knows what she's talking about.
such a great teacher, very animated too, class is way easy, she goes over the review and tests are only 50 questions.
awesome & very understanding teacher... like everyone else says, she is the reason why i go to my 8am class, even after having only two hours of sleep at night. :D
LOVE LOVE LOVE her! best professor EVER!!!!!!
i loved this class! the material is enjoyable and if you study just even a little, you'll be fine. i never studied and i got 84's on all the tests. she's funny and nice and loves to play music when you're coming into class. it was a nice way to start the day and got me really interested in advertising.
she is cool....emotional....but cool..i mean what girl isn't?? Her test are easy...some questions can be tricky. Easy B, as long as you study. Nice lady, and enjoys her job. Don't send her any mean e-mails or she might get upset. Very nice lady....
shes awesome... if you need help in her class she is more than happy to have you come in and she will help you till you get it. sweet lady.
soooo easy!and VERY interesting,its like going to class to talk about stuff you would normally talk to with other people when outside of clas,her tests are practically handed to you,but dont forget to read the book,EASY A!and sooo much fun
She is really funny! She loves what she teaches and she teaches it good! There is an attendance policy but she allows you to make up your absences. The tests are extremely easy if you study the reviews and go to class it is an easy A
She's an awesome professor. She cares for her students. really she does. She loves them. She plays music at the beginning of her classes. Don't get her mad, but for a 8am class, i recommend her.
I LOVEE HEEERR SHES THE BEST!!! :-D you can make a easy B just trying but put your heart into it and you'll mae that A. shes soo funny she plays music in her 8 am class to get you going and its an early morning warm welcome!! SO PICK HER!!
she is seriously amazing. i cant stress enough how much i love this teacher. she truly cares about her students and lets you know. =) i wish i could have her every year for every class. she has an attendance policy where you can only miss 3 classes..but you can make those up and she searches day & night to find opportunities for you. shes the best!
Keep up with your reviews! They are important to keep for the final if you choose to keep it. Also, don't leave during the movies, there's usually a quite a few questions on the tests from them. If you study the reviews and attend classes you're set for an A.
She is the BEST professor I've EVER had! She loves all of her students and is always available when you need her. Her class is not very hard. If you do and study the reviews and watch the movies, you're set for an A.
I wish every teacher's were like her. She is a great!
Dr. Fluker was so sweet and very entertaining! She tends to get off topic easily though, likes to hear what everyone has to say. Easy class if you pay attention, the tests are basically the reviews - but look over your slides too! Recommended!
By far my favorite teacher.
Dr. Fluker is awesome! I absolutely love her, she plays music as you are coming into class, and it really helps you get the day started even at 8am, print out notes before class, and listen to details, she's funny and you can tell that she loves what she does!!! Definantly the best teacher!!
great tacher! makes herself extremely available both academically and on a personal level. the tests were pretty hard, but if you put in the effort you'll get the grade you want. attendance not 100% mandatory, but it only helps.
One of the best teachers and speakers I have ever had. She is very funny, almost motherly and makes you not mind waking up at 8 am to go to her class which is mandatory. Tests are hard even though they are open note online tests. Take Her!! She is amazing!!
super cool explains things well very interesting keeps you wanting to learn more
Dr. Fluker is so amazing. She really makes you feel like she cares about you, and does everything she can to help you get a good grade. She makes class interesting and is so funny. She has us laughing for half of the class, and really cares about what all her students have to say! Just make sure to read and take notes!
Fluker is wonderful! She definitely keeps you awake in the mornings. She is so sweet and is very helpful; definitely loves her students. Take her!
Fluker is wonderful! She definitely keeps you awake in the mornings. She is so sweet and is very helpful; definitely loves her students. Take her!
Excellent professor. Very intelligent, very funny, and very approachable. Tends to repeat herself and get on her soapbox, but she's a fantastic teacher. Online tests are easy, and perfect attendance snags you three extra points at the end of the semester. There's a final, but it's optional. Would definitely recommend. I love her!
I pulled a B and didn't study at all. The tests are online and open book; fairly difficult but she'll always give a curve and drop a grade. You can also make up 3 absences, so you can skip six times and not suffer for it. Ain't life grand!
Fluker really spoiled me. All info for the tests are in the powerpoints, which she sends to you, and the tests are on the internet. With a little ctrl F and Wikipedia action, there is NO WAY you can possibly fail.
AMAZING TEACHER!!! I got a 100 in the course, she spoils the students. If you don't get an A, you are lazy! Ain't life grand?
Dr. Fluker is awesome. She is so inspiring and she got me really excited about my major (Public Relations. I had her at 8am and she made it interesting so it wasn't hard to stay awake :) LOVE her. Take Dr. Fluker!!
Great teacher...easy class all test are online open book, open note. She knows how to keep you awake at 8am and is truly passionate about teaching. If you try you can't fail.
This professor (Dr. Fluker) will go to the ends of the earth for her students. Always lots of laughs and tons of fun. I'd gladly take the course again.
Really easy class, everyone seems to love her. But honestly she's so freaking annoying.
Go to her office hours and get to know her. If you go out of your way for her, and do well in her class she will go out of her way for you. And trust me, if there is any teacher at this school with friends in high places it is FLUKER. She is wonderful, amazing, get to know her.
She is a great teacher. Her tests can be difficult, but if you read the slides you can make a good grade. I would recommend this class to anyone. MC major or not.
She is a great professor. I really enjoyed this class. I ended up changing my major to something else but I still got a lot out of this class. :]
Greatest teacher ever! SO nice and full of life. Hilarious and cares about her students so much. As long as you attend class and do well on the tests, it's an easy A.There are study guides for every test and always huge curves. I highly recommend having her as a teacher! You won't regret it.
She's very entertaining.
Incredible professor. Do yourself a favor and go see her during office hours. She is VERY helpful! A++
Mrs. Fluker is amazing. She is a very genuine, intelligent, passionate woman, who will help you get an A in her class if you utilize all of her resources. It really is extraordinary to see how much she cares about the success of her students. She is obviously not afraid to speak her mind, and you will be called out for being rude during class.
dr fleuker is a great professor. she can make you laugh even at 8 am. shes easy and will help you out. tests are online and you get up to a week to take. dont get me wrong they are easy, but dont get too confident, a little studying is stil necessary. if you have the chance to take her, do it, it will be a fun and easy 3 credits.
I ADORE Dr. Fluker. What an awesome and fun teacher! Even though it was hard to wake up for her 8:00 AM class, I had a blast once I got there. Dr. Fluker is so passionate about what she is teaching about, and she cares about her students so much. I have nothing but good things to say about her and this class.
Ok.You will not find another teacher anywhere who is as passionate about the subject they teach as Dr.FLuker.She also genuinely cares about her students and their success.However, do not go in to this class thinking you do not have to put in some study time( all the test are online and open book).The test cover a alot and can be very detailed!
SHE'S AMAZING! I had her at 8 AM, but she makes class easy to sit through. She absolutely loves her job and is very funny also. She opens every class with music! All of her tests are online and open book/note. There is a lot of information, so you should know where everything is. I would definitely take the class again in a heartbeat!
Very nice professor. Attendance is mandatory but she gives many may make up days. All the tests are online and open notes.
She's an awesome teacher
She is really nice and can make you laugh even at 8am! I would definitely recommend her :) (Don't blow the online test though.)
Hands down, my favorite teacher/professor EVER! She is enlightening, intelligent, passionate, and she cares so much about her students. (Not to mention extremely funny and entertaining) Even at 8:00 am, I looked forward to her class.
Mrs. Fluker was hilarious! I was pissed I had an 8 am class, but it's worth getting up for! She is the best teacher I've ever had. Her discussions keep you awake at 8 am, and her lectures and power points are filled with interesting information. The films we watch in class are pretty interesting as well. I definitely recommend taking her class!!!!!
Fluker has been my favorite professor so far! She is hilarious and is passionate about communications which makes the learning experience all the more enjoyable. Having her at 8 AM was definitely worth it!
best teacher ever!! i had her 8am and even though it was early i was still so excited to go to her class every tuesday and thursday! she will make you laugh during class while you are learning so much. i loved this teacher and recommend her everyone!
Absolutely PHENOMENAL professor. She is one of the kindest individuals that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and she never fails to remind her class how much she loves them, and you can tell that she truly means it!
Fluker is the best professor I have ever had, and probably will be my favorite ever. She is so funny and so passionate and it makes learning from her so easy and enjoyable! LOVE HER!
If you fail this class, you're an idiot. Fluker's class is probably the easiest you will ever take. On one test this semester, we got a 10 point curve. Ridiculously easy class with lots of opportunities for extra credit and absence make-up. If you have to take this class, definitely get Fluker!
Dr.Fluker is by far one of the most passionate teachers at Texas State. She is extremely helpful and loves making personal connections. Tests are super easy and you should go to every class because she gives extra credit that way. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
By far the best class/teacher I've ever taken. Never met someone so passionate about teaching and she LOVES her students.... I'm going to miss this class so much and it was a 8am!!!
Professor Fluker is amazing. She genuinely cares for her students and she is always available to help you with anything you need. She is passionate about her job and also about her students getting an education. She is the most amazing professor I've ever had. If you have a chance you should definitely take her class.
One of the most amazing professors I had, not much work so do good on your tests. Her tests are directly from the study guide. Unfortunately you have to purchase her book in order to open your books online. But you won't use them.
Easy A if you go to class. Class is mandatory. Tests are straight from the review which you can use on the test. Don't need to take notes. Just sit back and relax.
Dr. Fluker is hilarious and her class is interesting. The tests are all online, so you have to purchase the access code to take them. If you pay attention in class, the exams are very simple. She curves them all, anyway. There are make up days for absences (she takes attendance) and she provides opportunities for you to learn. Love her!
Dr. Flucker is such an amazing professor. she cares about her students and her test are straight from the review. Even though this class was at 8am there was never a day i was tired. She makes the class fun and interesting. She is funny, kind and knows her stuff.
Great professor. She's really funny and definitely wakes you up in the 8AM class! her exams a kind of hard if you wait for the last minute. They are online but if you read and keep up with your notes on a daily basis it really is an easy class!
Easy, but too easy. I'm not learning much. Annoying. She's obsessed with grammar but makes mistakes frequently. Gets off topic and talks about herself to no end. HATES new media, which would make class 100x more interesting. I can't stand any professor who repeats herself verbatim. Stop scripting your off-topic rants.
This was an awesome class! Mrs. Fluker cares about all of her students and does everything she can to help them. The class is very manageable and I would absolutely recommend it.
Awesome professor. Loving, fun, hilarious. Willing to help at all costs!
She is the best professor you could ask for however strive to be on time and not miss class or she will poke fun at you. She truly cares about teaching you so make this class worth it.
It's "Fluker" not anything else!! Haha! She's a great teacher and gets on her "soap box" a lot. Something i wish someone had told me about her tests is make your own study guides! Her information is all over the please and even though its open book sometimes its hard to find! But other than that I enjoyed listening to her speak
FLUKER for President. She is an amazing professor, I loved her class even though it was at 8 am. Her tests are open book/note. Pull up the powerpoints and itll be easy, but make sure you know some of it. She makes the class an easy A. Final is optional and she drops one test. She is funny, loving, and interesting. "Love your hair, hope you win"
Easy A. You get up to 3 absences and you get makeup days, but don't take it for granted. They'll sneak up on you. I never had to take one note because powerpoints were online, as were the tests. Copy and paste the powerpoints in a word document for when you take the test. Fluker is awesome and she cares. Funnny too. Even at 8am I was entertained.
Make sure you go to class! She will fail you even if you make an A on all tests. She's very helpful, and is willing to work with you. You never use the text book because everything comes off her power points however, you must buy the book because it contains a code for a website you take your tests on.
This class was super easy. You only need the textbook to get the code for tests (prepare to spend $100+) Only problem is she was inconsistent with posting powerpoints & it's hard to take notes 'cause she skips slides often. Use the PPs & review for the online tests. Thought I would learn a lot about MC, but I was actually really disappointed.
Fluker made class worth going to. Getting up for an 8am class isn't easy, but her class made it easy. Great personality, funny, and just an overall great professor. Exams are done online, and aren't too bad as long as you take some decent notes. I highly recommend her. I'd take this class even if I didn't have too. That's how good she is. Easy A!
She babbles too much and isn't organized it took us 2 weeks to get past chapter one, tests are online she uses the publishers website and forces you to pay for the new book and code. This class was extremely boring, take someone else. She isnt worth youre time
Fluker is an amazing teacher in that she is very entertaining and has an obvious passion for what she's speaking about. You have to get the access code with the book because the exams and final are online. Attendance is mandatory but she gives makeup days in case you miss more than allowed
Fun&entertaining class/professor. Starts w/music videos&often discussions. Don't have to take notes. She posts power points on TRACS. We didn't use the textbook but you'll need the access code for online tests. There's 4 exams. She'll drop the lowest grade and you don't have to take the final if you don't want to. Attendance is mandatory
Honestly the best professor at Txstate. She loves her job so much that you will love her by the end of the semester. Class attendance is not mandatory but if you want to past don't miss more than 3 days. She gives you a study guide before each test. If you use it you shouldn't have a problem with the course.
This class SUCKED. Take someone else, she makes you buy her book for the access code and you NEVER use the book. Her powerpoints have nothing to do with her slides, she is dis organized and the only nice thing was that she curved exams and dropped the lowest test. But, at the end multiple people were 88/89 average and no help. IT IS A HISTORY CLASS
Dr. Fluker's a great person. She's really fun and upbeat and lively. But her class is difficult because she overwhelms you with information. The tests are highly specific, but short: In other words, she has you learn a lot of information you'll only need a tiny bit of. To me, that made her class really difficult. Love her, though.
Every review of her is misleading. You cannot miss class at ALL even if you have contagious strep throat to get extra credit. All the make up days do not help your grade. Test are online but still has class those days. She perpetuates her stereotype constantly and has the most trivial information to teach us but study or not you will never make a 100 on test. She only curved cause SO many students complained of her test. If u have an 89.3 she will not help you out. Take anyone else. PERIOD.
This class was very easy. That being said it seemed a little more like a high school class, and a little less like college. I guess I didn't realize that college is more about attendance and less about your actual academics. Should have had an 88, but failed due to attendance. Kind of kicked me in the gut.
Easiest class I've taken in my 4 year college career. The class consists of 4 exams and an optional final. Each test is incredibly easy. The only downside is that she's strict on attendance. Over three absences and you'll lose a letter grade which means you can't even think about skipping class. As for the class, it was really boring. Made an A.
I LOVE DR. FLUKER!!! She is funny, sweet, sassy at times, and the best! Book expensive, but mandatory. Exams are online (which means open notes) and she drops your lowest test grade. There are many opportunities for extra credit and to make up absences. Very interactive class. Laptops allowed only in the front. You won't regret taking Dr. Fluker!
Fluker is a great and passionate teacher! She loves her students and teaching so much. Attendance is strict but she gives you all of the answers for the test and the test is online so it's easy to make an A as long as you go.
Dr. Fluker is a great professor! She's extremely passionate about what she's teaching and she is absolutely hilarious. Attendance is mandatory, but she offers a good bit of extra credit. She's always willing to help. Take her class!
This class was awesome! Even though I had her class to 8am, but her lectures were very interesting and kept me awake. All of her tests are online so don't waste your time studying, you won't remember it all. Just pull up her power points, do ctrl find for each question,and you will make a great grade in the class. Take this class, it's awesome!
BEST professor i've had in college. Attendance is mandatory but it's worth going to class. very inspiring woman and professor. Always on her "soap box" but as they say, a lot things you learn in college isn't class material.
Online exams. I didn't really study and got a B. Enthusiastic lady, very helpful.
Amazing professor. She has A LOT of interest in its student and VERY passionate about the subject. It's really hard to fall asleep in this class I highly recommend it.
I'm not even halfway through the semester with her and she the best professor I've ever had. Despite having her at 8 AM I could never dream of missing her class, she's hilarious and shows how much passion she has for her subject and her students success every day. If you can, take the class, the early times are so worth it.
Easy A all test are online. Don't miss class she will fail you, even if you have an A.
Best professor to have for an 8 am. She's lively and funny, and passionate about what she teaches. Attendance is mandatory but worth it. Online test, and always gives you a completed study guide, don't bother buying the textbook.
Professor Fluker loves what she does! She shares a personal side with the class while adding humor to her lectures. She makes the course as interesting as possible, and is very useful in helping guild students outside of her class as well. She is passionate and very family oriented! I wish she taught more classes.
She's very funny and truly cares about you. TEST ARE ONLINE!!!! The test are online and she gives you a study guide with every single answer, there is no reason to not make an A on every test. You can tell she is really passionate about what she teaching.
Tests were online but she said next semester she might not do that due to computer difficulties. She throws in a lot of trick questions which really agitated me. I am an advertising major and was excited to take my first COMM class but this class was mostly boring. Didn't get in to the job stuff until last 2 weeks. Lectures until the last minute
A very passionated teacher. Attendance is mandatory and you get extra credits for that but more than 3 absences can lower your grade or make you fail. She provides a study guide. Always available during office hours to help students. One of the sweetest and most caring professor I have met.
Professor Fluker is an amazing teacher as well as a source of inspiration. She is passionate about mass communication and the well being of her students. I would recommend her without a doubt. Tests were easy and online but she hinted at future in-class tests. I never touched the book. Attendance is harsh but going to class is worth it so just go!
Professor Fluker is hands down the best professor I have taken here at Texas State. She is very passionate about her lectures and her students as well and definitely gives great feedback. Make sure to go to class so you will receive extra points at the end of the semester, there are 4 exams and she drops the lowest!
There is a lot of information, the tests are not easy, but if you want a professor that cares and thinks the world of each of her students than this class is for you. She is always making jokes and hyped up. I did not like the course material but she is a must take professor! Slides are online, and sends out study guides.
Dr. Fluker loves every one of her students, and most love her right back. A Texas State trailblazer, she is celebrated by pupils and faculty alike for her unrelenting passion as an educator whose goal is to inspire every one of her students. An absolute must-take. On the class: material is almost completely history, so study up.
Professor Fluker will leave an impression on you for the rest of your life. She loves what she does and it shows. Her tests were a little difficult, but she gives you study guides and if you study before the day of the test, then you should do just fine. She is an amazing person and makes her course interesting and helps you on your journey.
I loved the concept of the class but way too much material. She gives you so much unnecessary information in class and in the reviews because she loves it, which is great, but not helpful when it comes to test. She has a lot of other things going on that get in the way of being a teacher and she will use it as an excuse for everything
Fluker was literally the best professor I've ever taken. There is a lot of material to learn for her class and her reviews are a bit lengthy but it is completely worth it. Fluker inspires you to learn and come to class. She is hilarious, her lectures are very interesting and she makes the boring ones interesting. She cared about our success.
She is very outgoing and well respected professor. She is hilarious and knows how to make a something so dry be more exciting.
She just reads slides and there are like 70-80 full slides for on chapter. She blazes through slides and its hard to take notes. The tests have trick questions which basically consists of cramming names and dates. I feel like her tests could be better at testing overall knowledge rather than only dates that we will surely forget afterwards.
Good teacher, always looking out for the welfare of her students. Make sure to pay attention to lectures. She is strict on absences. But she tries to help you out with absence makeups. She is also makes lectures fun. I recommend her.
Dr. Fluker is the epitome of a professor that cares for her students. She can make anything sound interesting and always has something to add. Going to class was more of a privilege than an obligation.
She loves what she teaches and that can be seen in every lecture. She cares about all of her students. Tests can be challenging but not impossible. This class was worth taking.
If you have to take MC1301, TAKE DR. FLUKER! Not only is she such a sweet woman but! She's also a great professor. Her power points are clear and she gives you a study guide before exams which totally help! 3 exams are online and easy! Plus she's hilarious in class! Again, TAKE DR. FLUKER! You'll be happy you did afterwards (:
She posts everything online. Last 3 tests were online. Attendance is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY. There are absence make-up days, but every absence after your 3rd was 10 points off of your final grade. Don't make the same mistake I did. I would've made a B but attendance dropped me to an F.
She is very passionate about teaching and every student in her classes. I loved her overall, but the only complaint I have is that her powerpoints have a lot of information on them. They are clear and easy to understand, but there's so much information on them that I'm pretty sure at least half of it was not on the tests she gave us. Kinda annoying
Cares about her students, posts the powerpoints online but strict on attendance. Didn't post reviews till the night before the test & were 20-38 pgs front & back (I'm serious). Uses 4 test versions and were very unfair... 1 easy like the guide, others 3 were extremely difficult & not like the guide or had random stuff we didn't discuss. Fun though!
I LOVE HER. I would take her every semester if I could.
She is very easy to listen to during lecture, but presents an overwhelming amount of information. Definitley go to class or your grade will suffer. In-class tests are multiple choice, but you need to know a lot of years and names. Luckily, the last few tests are online if lectures go well, and those are a breeze.
Overall I really enjoyed this class. I had Fluker at 8:00am and she was still able to engage the class and get us laughing. Half of the tests are in person and the other half are online. There is a lot of information to covered over each test and information from the book will appear on exams!
One of my most favorite professors ever. She makes lectures fun and entertaining. Final two exams and the final are online.
This woman is amazing. Took her at 8am and she still had me hooked. She locks the doors 20 minutes after class starts, so be on time. Also, don't miss class, because even with 350+ students, she still takes attendance. She was extremely engaging and will have you laughing every day you see her.
I took this class as an elective and am so glad I did! Lectures were boring to me because I have no interest in MC/PR, but Professor Fluker had me laughing every class. I really didn't even mind that it was an 8am because she made class enjoyable. Exams are all online, but go to class because attendance is mandatory. Very caring professor. TAKE HER
SHES AMAZING! I love Professor Fluker. All tests are online open note/open book. She gives 3 free absences and you can make up 3. She is by far the most caring, kind and compassionate professor I've come across thus far. Highly reccomend.
Absolutely love Fluker! She is so kind hearted and her lectures are very enjoyable. She only has 4 tests and drops the lowest grade! Test are all online open book and open note. You get 3 absences but she offers lots of absence makeups! I would take her every semester if I could
Professor Fluker was hands down the best professor I had this semester. I genuinely enjoyed going to her classes each week. You can tell she loves teaching her subject and you can tell she wants each of her students to succeed. Her tests are all online and open-note, as well as her final. You should go to her office hours, just to talk with her.
I LOVED having her as a professor. She cares so much for her students and loves all of them. She keeps the class very entertaining(which was good at 8am). She post the notes online but I do suggest getting the book. This was her first semester with an online open book/note test so if you read the book and look at the notes you'll do fine!
The best professor I have had in college so far. I could not stop talking about her to all of my friends and family. Even at 8 in the morning she had me laughing. I never paid attention in class, even though it was super entertaining stuff sometimes, and I still ended the class with an A.
ATTENDENCE COUNTS. you only get 3 absences. she has like 2 make up days but thats it. BUY THE TEXTBOOK. I thought i could get away without it but you can't. other than that super cool professor!!! everyone on campus knows her and respects her. you won't regret taking her and she bought everyone candy at the end of the semester
Mrs. Laurie Fluker is an amazing professor. She is fun to listen teach and makes you want to participate in class even if there are 300 people. You want to learn when you are there and she makes a huge class very personal. The only downside to her class is I bought the textbook and didn't use it at all.
If you have the chance PLEASE take her. I wish she could teach every single class I'll ever take. You get up to 6 absences and all the tests are online, open book open notes. No homework. She's amazing and I love her. You'll learn so much
First semester, I LOVE her. She loves and cares about all of her students. She has no true bad side. Strict cellphone use and sleeping during class (don't test her). Textbook helps but you dont need it. Definitely worth taking.
It was honor having this woman as a professor! She cares about her students and is freaking hilarious. The tests are open note, open book, and online! She also drops the lowest test grade! Honestly best teacher that I have ever had! I might visit her office hours even when I'm not in her class just to hear about her life and her thoughts!
PLEASE take Dr. Fluker! She has been by far one of my favorite professors thus far. She is absolutely one of the most passionate professors I've had, and she truly cares about what she teaches. She's also extremely hilarious and always makes class interesting. If that doesn't sell you, tests are online, and all her lectures are posted. Love her!
Dr. Fluker is by far the best professor I've ever had in my scholastic career. She loves what she does & that really shows in class. Very inspiration and really engaged us as students to the material. She treats the class as if it is a big family, very refreshing to come across such a great professor. I wish I could take her for everything.
LOVE HER. She is funny and amazing. Makes the class extremely enjoyable. I knew on my first day that I was going to love coming to her class and I did. tests are online at your own pace, she always adds a curve to the test. Come to class, pay attention. If you fall asleep, she'll come and sit by you. lol. She uploads slides AFTER lecture.
Treats students like her own children. Tells us she loves us almost every day and gives life advice relevant to lectures. Insanely knowledgeable about many things. Always available for help if you call her at her office or home! Tests are tough with tons of info, but just study and you''ll do great.
Such an inspirational role model. Reminds you that you can achieve more than you might realize. Highly engaging lectures. She LOVES what she does and it's contagious. Lectures are packed with tons of information so keep up with studying for the tests. Taking a class with her will change your life for the better.
Dr. Fluker is THE MOST AMAZING professor I have yet thus far at Texas State. Why? She cares. She truly cares. It's unfortunate that she only teaches one class now, but i still see her on campus and she recognizes me from a 400 person class. That's the definition of a great professor. Just TAKE HER
Professor Fluker is an awesome professor!! I would definitely recommend her!! Attendance is mandatory but the class goes by fast. You do not need to buy the textbook for this class.
Super funny; I'm never bored during lectures. Only 4 online exams (1 dropped), no HW. Gives reviews for each test. Tests are open for 3 days with 1hour 20min to complete 50 Q's. You do need the book. Final was opt'l and I have an A so I didn't take it. Nicest professor ever. Go hang out with her during office hours and she'll love you!
Dr. Fluker is phenomenal. We do not deserve her at all. She gives amazing and inspirational lectures. Theres only 4 open book/open note tests. The tests arent that hard honestly. They can be a bit challenging, though! SHOW UP TO CLASS EVERYDAY! Attendances are audited! Showing up to class is worth it! You wont regret taking her class!
Her test are online but still pretty difficult because you have to search MANY PowerPoint slides for the answers. She is an incredible person though, and that alone is enough to take her. You wont regret it.
LOVED professor Fluker. She cares so much about her students and their success in her class. The exams are online and come right from the PowerPoints that are provided on TRACS. Attendance is mandatory but her lectures are interesting and she is fun to listen to. Would absolutely take another course with her.
By far the best professor I have ever had. She loves her job and loves her students. She goes above and beyond to make sure her students are taken care of! Her lectures are very interesting and she is amazing at teaching! You get 3 absences before it effects your grades. You are only graded on tests, that are all online and easy!
Wonderful instructor that truly cares for her students. Her lectures were informative and very lively; there was never a dull day in class. My class was at 8 am, but I never had the issue of falling asleep or feeling tired due to the participatory nature of her class and the way she kept the content interesting.
The most amazing professor ever. There are only 4 tests and one is dropped, they are online 50 questions with an hour and 20 min to take them, BUT she gives you the power points just ctrl F and and search. Also +3 points on your final grade if you never miss a class. Dont buy the book, I didnt and I ended the semester with a 94.
Dr. Fluker is an amazing professor who loves what she teaches. She absolutely loves Mass Communication and is hilarious. Class is fun and you wouldn't want to miss out because of her fun stories. She gives extra credit depending on how many absences and posts her notes online. Her tests are online but there are NO quizlets so notes matter.
5 exams, lowest one dropped. They're online but for some reason, I would find every single answer in the powerpoints and I still would get 80's. She'll sometimes spend 30 min yelling at us if we don't respect class time. Tried going to the bathroom but she spent 10 minutes interrogating me, that was unnecessary. Over-all, ok class.
Laurie is an amazing professor! She loves all of her students and truly loves what she does! Her lectures consist of hundreds of slides so, be ready! Her tests are online but still pay attention because I always made b on the tests even though they were take home.
The best professor I have ever had at Texas State. She is so caring and makes her lectures so fun and entertaining. If you have the chance, take her class!
Show up. Use the power points on her website while taking the online tests. Easy A. (She's also extremely funny and loves her students)
Lectures can seem boring some days but GO! She gives you 3 extra points on your final grade and all of my friends who didn't get those points didn't get an A. Also don't buy the book you wont use it. The test are also your only grades so take them seriously!!
Best professor I've ever had. Really cares for her students & their success, & is a great resource for the future. Information is so interesting. Made an A in the class w/ no book, but it would have helped a lot. You get 3 extra points added to your average if you don't miss any days (2 points for 1 day, 1 point for 2). Highly recommend taking her!
Best Mass Comm teacher I've had so far! She is so funny and makes her lectures interesting. She plays music for the first 15 minutes before class starts and will ask for participation. Her tests are all done online and come directly from the notes. Feel free to download the powerpoints ahead of time and bring your computer to class.
Professor Fluker is a fantastic professor. You can tell that she genuinely cares about her students and really wants you to succeed in her class. Make sure to show up ON TIME as when I had her she locked the doors 10 minutes after class started. Show up to class, don't be disrespectful, and you'll do great.
I don't know how she doesn't have a perfect 5. She's the best professor you can take in the MC department. Tests are open note a book and I would recommend the online book if you want an A. She reminds me of Octavia Spencer, and I mean that in the best way possible. Take her, put in some effort, and don't forget to show up to class. LOVED HER!
Fantastic Professor. Lecture were interesting as they were current end engaging. Test are online open note and Professor Fluker is very helpful.
There is not enough room to talk about how amazing Mrs. Fluker is she is the definition of what a professor is supposed to be inspiring and caring and knowledge in all aspects of her field. No matter what your majoring take her class please she's the only professor I've had Texas State who really cares about teaching and not just a paycheck.
Best teacher ever, her lectures and advice would really move me and gave great advice that will always stick with me. The tests are also super easy open book open note and usually has a curve. I would def suggest taking her for mass comm I loved it and if you show up every day she gives you 3 extra points on the overall average.
She is such an effective speaker. I'm a business major and she makes me want to be a mass comm major. She is the most caring and inspirational teacher I have had at TX state. Only grades are exams. All online. Go to class. Take notes. Easy A.
Mrs. Fluker is pretty funny, but her lectures get to be so boring after a while. She talks nonstop for the whole hour and 20 minutes, and she repeats the same things every class. However, all her tests are online and open note, which is a plus.
Fluker is knowledgeable and friendly, but the lectures are extremely boring as she reads directly from the slides. You can't use electronics in class. Tests are online and very easy with most of the answers coming directly from the slides.
Fluker is THE best & if I could take her again I would. Your final grade is based solely on the 4 tests & your attendance. You're allowed 3 free absences and I think 6 before you fail the class, but she cares so much and is a really interesting person to listen to so the lecture's aren't bad at all! Tests aren't too hard, and she drops your lowest
This class is an easy A if you just show up. All of the tests and (usually) her lecture notes are online so you can use them on the tests. The only problem is that some of the questions are based on things she said in class or things in the book, which you're not required to buy (I didn't and did fine), so make sure to listen during lecture.
Her class was fun and she is a good teacher. She is very passionate about Mass Comm which you can tell through her lectures. She often gets off topic and felt that the extent that she went through to take attendance and catch people for scanning in for others or scanning in and leaving were distracting and extreme.
Passionate teacher who cares about what she does. Is really funny. Tests are online and so are the reviews/notes.
Absolutely an amazing professor. Actually cares about her students and cried at the end of the semester because she'd miss us. She's funny and has that lovable attitude. Attendance is up to 3 absences and you fail but she is willing to work with you if you take the time to explain the situation.
I took Dr. Fluker for an intro to Mass Comm class and she is an outstanding professor. I highly recommend taking this course! Her TA, Rana is amazing as well. She counts attendance and the only grades are for four exams and the final is optional. If your class respects her, then she respects you. TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
Grade comes from only 3 or 4 tests that are online-but be careful!! You have to study still. Attendance is mandatory-will count against you if you miss more than 2(I believe). Very lovely, caring and sweet professor.
Professor Fluker is super funny and is very engaging during class. Don't skip a lot because she gives extra credit based on attendance in the end. The tests are difficult because they are online and randomized questions, so buy the textbook, take notes, and pay attention if you want an A.
Take her!!! I took it as an elective and it was a great choice. All the tests are online and she uploads all the powerpoints so it's easy to make good grades on the test. If you never miss a class you get 3 points added to your overall grade. Do not use your phone in class or you will get called out but the material is interesting to learn.
She has 4 tests plus the final and she is very strict on attendance, compares signatures and scans so it's hard to sign your friend in. Her tests are lecture heavy with a couple questions from the book which I recommend buying. She is so passionate about the subject and funny. I never dreaded going to her class and gives points for going to class
By far the best professor I have had at Texas State! She made the class worth going to while also being a very funny person. Only 4 exam grades+final and they are all online and she posts the powerpoints from class online. If you don't miss class you get 3 points added to your overall grade & she drops your lowest test grade! TAKE HER CLASS
She was one of my favorite teachers Ive had at TXST. She really cares about her students. Dont miss any class! She takes off a letter grade for every 3 absences. Test were online on your own time. Easy if you pay attention, and look at her slides. Drops one test. Skipped final if you were fine with your current grade.
Prof. Flukers energy, even during an 8 a.m. course is contagious. She really cares and is super interesting to listen/ talk to. As far as grading goes, all the exams are online and shes totally encouraging of taking them in groups. Her attendance policy is 3 absences and then a penalty but show up- itll benefit you in the end.
I leave class feeling like I can achieve anything I want to in life! Mrs Fluker is a very inspirational speaker and amazing story teller. Not to mention shes hilarious!!!
Fluker is a great professor, but it's a waste of a class because of the exams. The exams aren't even made by her, and nothing she says in lecture is on the test. When she says, "Multiple choice","this will be on your exam", she's bluffing. You'll learn a lot from this class, but you'll make a bad grade unless you read the book.
Shes so cool! Shes serious when things need to be serious, but she also knows how to lighten things up at the same time. Every class practically is a lecture, and theres a lot of information to take in for the exams. Im gonna be honest, I didnt read the book at all and got an A on every test, because as long as you pay attention, youre good.
Mrs. Fluker is by far the best professor at Texas State University. She's hilarious and serious when she needs to be. She makes her lectures very interesting and I am proud to say that I've learned so much in her class unlike many other classes I have taken at Texas State. Her tests are all online so its awesome!
You can tell she is very passionate about mass communication. As long as you show up and pay attention, this is an easy A. I never used the textbook either. The best professor I've had at Texas State.
Dr. Fluker is an amazing woman. She is extremely caring and you show up you will thrive. I'm going to miss her!
Mrs. Fluker is by far the best professor I've ever had at Texas State. What made her stand out to me is if your on the fence about wanting to go into mass comm major, she will make it very clear if its the right field for you. Shes very honest and up front and only asks for respect. TAKE HER CLASS
Dr. Fluker was the most amazing professor Ive ever had in my whole college career. The absolute BEST professor at Texas State University; shes so passionate about Mass Comm and has great lectures! Her class is easy, show up and do the few exams and youll pass with flying colors. I will truly miss her; a character with a beautiful personality!
The best professor I have ever had in my life. I adored her and her class. Her lectures are so amazing, and she's such a character with a beautiful personality. She truly cares about each student. Attendance is mandatory, but you won't even want to skip! She's that great. To make it even better, her class is easy and exams are online! Take her!
She was the most amazing professor that I've had at Texas State. I took her at 8am and she would let us pick songs we wanted to hear to get the day started. The grades are only based on test but she will give you the review exactly like the test and will help a student to the best of her ability. There is a reward for no absences in her class.
The best professor I've had at TXST.
Fluker is definitely one of the best teachers ive ever had, shes an amazing woman and really makes it hard to dislike her, which I genuinely think is impossible. Definitely will be one of the the best classes you take at TXST.
Absolutely amazing woman. Rarely cancelled class, even if she was in the emergency room the night before. Does a great job teaching, but you HAVE to go to class and take notes, because not all the information on the test is in the slides she posts online.
Mrs. Fluker is by far the best professor I've ever had. She's so sweet and genuinely cares about her students and their well being. You do need to go to class in order to get all the info you need for tests, but she makes lectures fun so I honestly looked forward to going. I would take her for every subject if I could. TAKE THIS CLASS!
One of the best teachers I have ever had
I love this woman! There is only 4 exams in this class and that is it. They are all online so it is open book open note, I'd still study though. She is very funny, very strict on phone use, and very strict on attendance. You have to sign a sheet every day in class saying you are there and didn't just leave.
LOVE HER! She's an awesome teacher. There is 4 exams that are graded, she gives you the option to take the final which is the 4th exam if you like your average grade. She takes attendance very seriously so don't skip besides it'll benefit your overall grade at the end of the semester.
PROFESSOR FLUKER IS THE BEST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO LAUGH AND BE HAPPY!!!!! She literally won txst student athletes favorite professor. She is so passionate about mass communications. I wish she taught every mass comm class. TAKE HER! <3
This is the best Professor I've ever had!! She's hilarious, an amazing lecturer, and makes the material very interesting. I genuinely enjoyed going to this class. Take her!!
Dr. Fluker was a great professor. Lectures were fun and informative. Tests were fairly easy if you studied. Overall, really good class.
dr fluker is great, caring, and such a character; although she did make a self-harm joke once that i really did not appreciate. this class is SUPER interesting and fun, take it if you can! there's no work, other than tests so make sure you do good on those! they're taken online, you'll be good as long as you have her powerpoints open
Dr. Fluker is an amazing professor. During every class, she will remind her students how much she loves them. It made me smile every time. She truly cares about what she does. As long as you look at the powerpoints, you will do just fine.
Professor Fluker is an amazing professor! She genuinely cares for each of her students and she makes it known. This class only consists of 10 quizzes and 4 exams and they are all fairly easy if you pay attention in class. She also gives study guides. Overall a great teacher and easy to manage an A.
Professor Fluker is a GEM. Besides being an amazing human, she has so much knowledge of past and present media and she loves teaching it. Take her class you won't regret it!
Fluker is SO sweet & truly cares for her students & her job. Teaching is solely lecture based, but she makes the quizzes & tests extremely straightforward & gives whatever resources she can to make it doable to pass the class. A lot of info taught but her personality makes it interesting. Textbook is suggested but lowkey not necessary to do well.
Dr. Fluker is my absolute favorite professor at Texas State!!! You have to take her!!! She is understanding, relatable, and will make you smile! She makes the class so easy that I didn't need to buy the textbook. Tests are lecture-heavy, but Dr. Fluker is so wonderful that you'll want to come to every class.
Great professor and really cares about her students. Lecture slides are very very long. She gave us like 4 free quiz grades. The study guides for the test were usually helpful except for one.
I love Mrs. Flucker. She would give us her number to call her if we had questions and was so caring. Shes hilarious and gives free 100s on quizzes if needed. Shes one of the best professors Ive had
Fluker is amazing. Really great professor and truly cares about her students. As far as getting a good grade, go to her lectures whether it's in person or over zoom and read the power points for sure. If you're having trouble then read the book as well and reach out to her, she will always help.
I not even done w/ class yet and Im writing this review!! Dr. Fluker is such an amazing professor!! She makes me WANT to get up for her 8am and learn. Im so inspired by her. She loves her students. She makes me feel like I truly belong in college. Her lectures are so engaging. If you are a slow note taker in class make sure to review the slides!
Laurie is the most entertaining professor ever. She dedicates her life to her students. LOVE LOVE LOVE
Fluker is the best professor ever! I actually want to go to her class and her lectures are so entertaining and engaging. She loves her students so much and she can make everyone smile. Even if you aren't a communications major I recommend everyone to take this class.
this was my absolute favorite class this semester. dr. fluker is AMAZING and cares so much about what she does and it shows. she wants every student to succeed and will sometimes give everyone free 100s. 100000000% recommend taking her class!
I loved taking this class. Dr. Fluker is an AMAZING professor. She made my 8am class so worth it. Would take her class again.
She is a good teacher and is extremely passionate, but there is no point to go to her lectures. The class is 200+ and she just reads her PowerPoints that is on Canvas. I stopped going after spring break and my grade hasn't dropped or anything. If you have perfect attendance you get extra credit. If you go to her class don't get on your phone/talk.
yes yes yes, please take her class! good reviews for test!!!
Gives you a lot of opportunities to get an A if you put in the effort
My favorite professor ever! You HAVE to take her class at least once in your college career. Yes, attendance doesn't matter. But I always loved going just to hear her lectures. She does have a textbook (but it's honestly a scam, save your money). A super easy and chill class, just don't be on your phone or she will sit right next to you!
Dr. Fluker has been one of my favorite professors ever. She's hilarious, super nice, and makes the class feel like a family. The exams and quizzes are super easy with the PowerPoint she uploads as well.
She was the reason I changed my major. Normally I don't like mandatory attendance classes but I actually wanted to be there every class. She is very outgoing and gives great lectures.
I had her my freshman year and she's the absolute sweetest person ever! I'm a junior now and every time I see her she stops to talk to me. Her class isn't difficult at all just pay attention in class or to the slides and you'll do fine!
Dr. Fluker is an amazing professor! Her lectures seem pointless because she reads straight from the slideshows on canvas, however, she further explains every point and keeps her lecture engaging. As long as you respect her, she will respect you, and she truly cares about every student. Even though it was an 8 am class, it was 100% worth it.
Overall, Dr. Fluker is a good professor. At times, I feel like she went through lectures a little bit too fast. Tests mostly have very detailed questions, so it's important to take notes on EVERYTHING. Her personality is unmatched and is willing to help and work with you. Wouldn't recommend doing an 8am with her.
I was in her 8am. She has long presentations, tends to go really fast and even then she cannot finish. The test has super random questions. Attendance does matter, she will call you out if you are late, leave early, talk, sleep, or on your phone. The material is easy overall. She is very understanding and drops low test/quiz scores at end of sem.
Dr. Fluker's class is one of the best classes you can take at Texas State. Everyone says that she has a lot of homework, but honestly if you type out the slide notes and use those on the exams, you don't even need to use the textbook. I want to cry thinking that I won't have her class again. I love her, and I can't recommend her class enough!
Dr. Fluker is AMAZING!
Dr. Fuller is one of the best professors here at Texas State. I took her at 8am and it was the only 8am worth getting up for. Shes not only inspirational when it comes to encouraging us to be better students but also is funny and overall really cool.
Genuinely one of the best professors I've had. Had her for an 8 am and looked foward to every class. Her lectures are very entertaining, shes a great speaker. Attendance is mandatory and will give extra credit for perfect attendance. Very understanding and caring.
I had Fluker for my 8am class this semester. I am not a morning person, but I did not mind going to her lectures because they were very interesting. She has such great energy and is very understanding and kind. She knows her stuff, and the class is not too hard at all. 10/10 recommend!
She's easy. Don't be rude, go to class, sign in, do your quizzes and exams at home. You'll pass.
The most amazing woman I've ever met. Dr. Fluker really knows and cares about what she's teaching, and you can tell. Her lectures are wonderful and enjoyable, and her quiz system was pretty easy: open book/note. If you have the choice, PLEASE take Dr. Fluker's class! (even if it's early in the morning!) you won't regret it!
she was too good *chefs kiss*
Dr. Fluker has been the most amazing professor I've had since coming to TXST. I struggled through the first half of her class.. however, she always provides extra credit towards the end of the semester that will certainly help you out. Attendance is ABSOLUTELY mandatory and you'll regret not showing up, promise!
Cannot recommend Dr. Fluker enough!!! She really cares about the content and your success in the class. She's really knowledgeable and demands respect, but that respect goes both ways, which I appreciate. I had this class at 8 am and I was still really engaged... Just don't slack off cause you'll be lost.
Will literally fail you for not showing up to class, in a class where you can learn everything online from the slides.
Very entertaining class, good way to start the day. Do not use your phone as she will come sit next to you in a huge lecture. Great teacher
Took her my first semester of college and she made me excited to wake up at 8 am and I am not a morning person. Quizzes and test are open note and online at your own time. Love her would take her again. She made me proud to be a mass comm major.
This class is super easy to pass she makes it hard to fail. She makes attendance mandatory and if you are on your phone or your computer during class she freaks out. Sometimes her lectures are intersting but most of the time she gets off topic and we never finsh the notes in class.
It literally does not get better than Laurie Fluker. She is such a wonderful person and her lectures are SO engaging. I wish she taught more classes because I would choose her every time. If you have the chance to take her please do it, you won't regret it.
Dr. Laurie H Fluker is something else! the most remarkable professor here at txst. She had me CACKLING in class, she is so fun and funny. I had her as an 8 AM class which I was worried about because I am not a morning person however, this class was so enjoyable to go to. Laurie would also be the PERFECT professor to keep in contact for networking.
I am not a morning person by any means, but being in this class motivated me to wake up for her 8 am. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY however she is passionate and very modern with her lectures. you are allowed to miss 3/4 days and she offers 3 make-ups. As long as you look at the study guide and pay attention you'll be okay.
If you take any 8am class this is the one to take, she does her best to make it entertaining just don't be obvious youre on your phone or sleeping or she will sit right by you and teach or make you come to the front. Easy quizzes and exams just have the notes she sends out, attendance is 100% required but she's very accommodating and loves her job
Dr. Fluker is the best professor I have ever had in my life. She was funny and cared so much about her students and made sure we were loved. Her lectures could tend to get long if the topic was kinda boring, but she would always try to spice it up and was knowledgable about the topics. I adore this woman and if you can take this woman YOU SHOULD!
Laurie fluker was the best professor ever! She really is passionate about what she does, and loves her students beyond life. However her G/A Bella was not good at uploading notes & quizzes which caused confusion for the class.
Loved Fluker from the start, and loved her even more when she expressed her passion for grammar. Don't hesitate to select, she's the one!
Dr. Laurie Fluker is the best professor you could take! Although this was an 8am, she made it worth going. While attendance is mandatory, she allows you to miss 3/4 days and has 'make up days' where you can earn credit back for those missed days. She is also an incredible professor to stay in touch with for networking in the future!
I loved Dr.Fluker, she made class so much fun and I absolutely loved her lectures. She makes getting up early so much easier.
took her for and 8am enjoyed her class so much, very great professor who really cares about her students, attendance is mandatory up to 4 absences but does many make up days, all tests are based off power points very manageable.
I had Dr. Fluker's 8AM class and I've never been more excited to get up early in the morning. Her class is super fun and engaging, she covers pretty much everything you need to know the resources provided are super helpful. Couldn't recommend her enough. P.S. Get ready for a bunch of references, jokes, and stories during lectures.
I had Prof Fluker 3 years ago, but since I graduate soon, I just have to say she is the first professor that made me genuinely excited to hear a lecture. She is knowledgeable, funny, and a professor who cares about her student's success. Intro to mass comm was one of my most enjoyable courses period, and I had an 8 a.m.
I had Dr.Fluker for an 8am class, and she made it bearable. If I were to show up that early for any professor it would be her. Try not to fall asleep in her class or she WILL make an example of you.
Mrs. Fluker was the BEST professor I've taken last semester! Her lectures were so fun, and she made them so engaging. She always found a place to throw a hilarious joke in. I can't recommend her enough. If you have a chance to take her class, TAKE IT! Fight for it! You will not regret it, I promise. She's the best of the best! TAKE HER CLASS!
AMAZING professor. I had her for an 8 am and never struggled to get up because her lectures were just that entertaining. Take her if you can!
She is a great professor and her lectures are very interesting. She is a little strict about phones and laptops and she will call you out. shes super funny and attendence matters! She makes you scan in and out and sign the roaster during class.
Dr. Fluker is seriously one of the best professors at Texas State. She is so caring and genuinely wants her students to do well. There's a quiz after every chapter and 4 exams. She is so passionate about the course, it's a joy to learn from her.
The best professor I have ever taken at TXST university. She is the most kind and understanding professor I have ever has the honor of meeting. Everyday she reminds you how much she cares for you as a student and just how much you're appreciated. She's funny, easy to understand, and clear with her grading.
I'm a senior and this has been one of the best professors I've ever had. Lectures are fun and full of participation, content is interesting, and quizzes/tests are open note. She does not like phones so don't even try to have them out during lecture! She genuinely loves us students and is super entertaining and clear with her criteria.
She is amazing, so passionate about what she is teaching and the success of her students, attendance is mandatory and you are not allowed to use your phone in class but the lecture is very interesting. There was only one quiz per chapter with a total of 10, with 4 exams and an optional final, extra credit is based on attendance.
Suck it up and go to class. You can afford an hour 1/2 of her class that you'd otherwise spend scrolling. Class is not just slides but also valuable life lessons. Absurdly easy course you can ace the exams and quizzes. (which are 100% online) by using control-f to search slides. I felt like she cared about me even in a class of 300. That's rare.
Laurie Fluker is a fantastic professor who brings energy and passion to her 1301 class. While attendance is mandatory, her engaging lectures make it worth the early start. I found unstuckstudy ai and the free textbook super helpful for acing the exams and quizzes.
loved her!! i wish i could take her again! amazing professor who engages with her class is super helpful with tests and quizzes. her office hours were always helpful and you were able to connect with her on a personal level despite being in a large class. even though my class was an 8 am it was worth it for her! theres also attendance makeup days!
Great teacher, clear passion for teaching, experienced. Mass Com 1301, pretty easy class but going to class in mandatory, no projects just weekly quizzes.
I LOVE her! I took her 8 a.m. class, and while getting up early was tough, her entertaining teaching style made it worth it. Attendance affects your grade, but with make-up days, you're covered. The final is optional, and tests are online for a week. She's funny and amazing—definitely take her class if you can!
Dr. Fluker's teaching style is boring; she just reads from slides. I bought her $60 book, which is just the same content as the slides posted for free. The large 300-person lectures felt impersonal, and the course mostly covered Mass Comm history with little theory. It felt like a grift.
Dr. Fluker is absolutely phenomenal! She makes lectures so fun and interesting. Respect her and she'll respect you. She doesn't allow phones, but she's so funny and the presentations are a must listen to.
Fluker is an amazing professor. She really loves what she does, and that shows in her lectures. I feel like I am cared for in a class of 300. The only downside is her attendance policy, only 3 absences allowed, but she does have a few absence makeup classes throughout the semester. I would 100% take her again if I had the chance!
She really cares about every student she has. Her exams are online. Grades are off exams and quizzes for each chapter. You have 3 free absences to use but they are each worth 1 point of extra credit to your final overall grade if you do not use them.
Every quiz/test is online. She doesn't like phones and if you want to be on your computer you have to sit in the front rows. Other than that the class is very easy and straight forward. She is entertaining and very caring of her students. Attendance is mandatory and with only allowing for 3 absences but with attendance makeups you can have 6.
I absolutely loved Dr. Fluker's class. She is very fun and sweet. In order to succeed in Dr. Fluker's class it is necessary to show up to class, and use the slides and the textbook to your advantage.
seriously the best professor ever, she's super funny and her class is super easy. the tests are all online and they are super easy. attendance is mandatory but there are always opportunities to make them up. sit in the first 3 rows so you can be on your laptop. 10/10 lectures and super sweet TA
Good & nice person. Very tough professor. She talks a lot and claims she will “get on her soapbox” for upwards of 30 minutes you likely will never leave class early. Also does not communicate well over email or canvas message. Main thing is just, utilize the PowerPoints she posts because they're typically exact copies of the tests/quizzes.
Professor Fluker is great! She's super nice, and the class is easy—I took it as an elective. Just be aware that the attendance policy is very strict.
Laurie Fluker is an awesome professor. At first I was worried about the attendance policy, but the more time passed the more I found myself wanting to attend class rather than feeling forced too because of the attendance policy. She's a very entertaining and fun professor and her words stick with you.
If you need to take a mass comm class and Laurie Fluker is an option, TAKE HER. Her class was entertaining and she makes it easy to reach out when help is needed. Weekly quizzes are easy and online, a textbook is "required" but not really needed as she goes over everything in class so make sure to attend class.
She is so funny. Her lectures were very intriguing, and all her assignments and exams were pretty easy! Def recommend!
Dr. Fluker was a nice professor. She's funny and likes to hear from the students. She can be a little difficult sometimes because she's very sarcastic and will call you out in front of the whole class if she sees you do something she doesn't like. Her class was pretty easy to keep on track, just make sure you pay attention to the little things.
Dr. Fluker is an amazing professor and I am grateful I got to have her as a professor. She somehow finds a way to connect with everyone in a class of over 300. Her lectures are engaging and her soapboxes are so entertaining. I couldn't recommend this course more. You are sure to have a good time and as long as you attend and do work your good!
She was super fun and outgoing, she wasn't mean but rather strict about due dates, but other than that, she was by far one of my favorite professors! DO NOT MISS CLASS!
I loved Dr. Fluker—she was such an inspiration, and she obviously cares a lot about her students. Your grade is entirely based on weekly quizzes and four tests, but they are online, so you can use your notes. She often gets off track during class, but I still learned a lot from her lectures. Easy class to get an A in as long as you show up to class
She is an amazing woman and very, very funny. Attendance is SUPER mandatory, and missing even just a few more days past the limit will fail you. She does do absent makeup days though, but they are unannounced. All work/quizzes/tests are online and NOT proctored soooo... easy A. You're only job is to basically show up and do the online work on time!
Her class is very enjoyable. She is super funny and as long as you show up to class and do your work you will pass.
Genuinely never had a better teacher/professor. Her lectures have never been boring. She will mix a bit of comedy in them and most days, will ask the audience fun questions to get us involved. Only 4 tests a semester, lowest grade gets dropped. Everything, including tests, are online and are open notes. A big thing is attendance. Just show up!
This is the most inspiring instructor at Texas State University. Dr. Fluker is so passionate about what she teaches that she solidified my interest in my career. She creates an environment where students feel heard, valued, and genuinely motivated to grow. She's so loving and caring; just attend lecture and you'll pass the class.
Attendance is mandatory on paper and she will call out names. No clear attendance makeups but if the makeup is during regular class time she won't say. Lecture will last the entire class and she does not tolerate talking or devices. First two exams were difficult and tricky. Last 2 she gives a study guide with all answers. Quizzes weekly.
This is the kind of professor they make movies about. Annoying while you're taking it and have to deal with the nauseatingly harsh attendance policy but afterwards you realize it was for your own benefit. Incredible.
ATTENDANCE!!! She is very strict on attendance, but she is super funny and caring. She reads from the slides but makes it super interesting.
I LOVE HER ENDLESSLY. She is definitely the best teacher I have ever had. Pay as much attention to her as you can because she is full of knowledge.
Dr. Fluker makes the course interesting- you can tell she's super knowledgable about the content. She also really cares for her students. Quizzes and exams make up the grade; she gives study guides and they're online. GO TO CLASS, it's mandatory and will help boost your grade in the end. Final exam is optional and the material isn't very difficult.
