Offers lots of help if you are willing to seek it. She has embraced technology, her online class is very well-suited for the subject

this is the only media 4 class to take. online or not at all. not a bad class at class.

her tests are hard, but i really enjoyed class. she's pretty opinionated and loud, but that's what made the class great. she knows her stuff, and her grading was clear. i would recomend her.

Online class. The course is not difficult, but here quizzes are unfair. She asks some questions that are not in the reading and is not fair about them when challenged. She calls it thinking outside the box...and her curriculum.

Great online class. Lots of reading though. Online lectures are pretty long. Tests and quizzes are challenging, but I found them fair. Schoen is helpful when it comes to feedback and clarifications. Subject matter was interesting. Good class-- I would take a class from her again.

As long as you skim the chapter and do well on the basic assignments you will do fine.

I think she's awesome! Very open, friendly, and sarcastic. Doesn't always follow the book, but she always points out exactly when in class, you just need to listen :) Taking notes important, as well as reading. Just expect what you put in.

The classes are very interesting (livly). She is very knowledgeable. Her tests are hard. Does let you use a 5x8 card w/test. Cares for students. Study people,defs,& details from study guide. 2-3 answers for ea. Q. She loves what she does. I was in awe of how much she knew. Good teacher!

I took this class online and at the beginning of the semester, I really didn't care for her and thought her tests were ridiculous. However, I found that if you talk to her and ask questions, she is very helpful. She is very opinionated on the subject but I found that if you explain to her your train of thought, she is willing to listen.

I took the online Media 4 class. It was extreemely easy as long as you read the text book and online notes. I had an A+ in the class the entire semester. There is ample opportunity for extra credit. The tests do take quite a while but you can find most of the answers online. This teacher is very nice and the subject is interesting!

Class is structured very simply however there is quite a bit of weekly reading. Weekly test can be challenging even if you complete weekly reading. The professor provides solid feedback on test and essay questions but is otherwise absent. I would take the class again if necessary. Not an ideal class for the student requiring hand holding.

Linda is a great teacher. This class online works well and as long as you stick to the schedule and don't miss assignments, you'll be just fine. I like the fact that she posts to the gradebook often and in doing so allows her students to be clear about where they stand gradewise in the class. The material is interesting...

The class is easy if you do the assigned work. It is easy to fall behind if you are a procrastinator. Very interesting class!

Linda is awesome, one of the best teachers I've had in a long while. She cares about who passes and fails and WANTS to help you. People whom rate her a bad teacher are just upset because this class actually requires A BRAIN. It's a mentally stimulating class, and if you pay attention, you'll absorb the info easily.

Took online class. Easy for anyone who does all of the assignments. I had no interest in this course & got an A. The online test taking was difficult because if your internet connection went down you would lose the test & have to start again w/ completely different questions/order. She's pretty reasonable though & will work w/ you so you succeed.

Mixed feelings about this online course. Linda is very knowledgeable about the topic without a doubt. However, sometime her test questions are as clear as mud. The website wasn't the easiest to navigate. Grading is easy, nothing is weighted and there is extra credit galore. The text is on reserve so it's not worth buying.

Linda gave me a lot of confidence and if you read the material,read the lecture notes,do the required work you will easily ace this class.Some of the questions require thought and personal imput,that is what college is about.I was aprehensive about taking this class but Linda built up my cofidence.Great teacher,and a good online class

I had no interest in this class when I signed up for it, but in the end I throughly enjoyed it. Linda is a good teacher who clearly tells you what needs to be done and has great knowledge of media.

I have no idea why everyone is hating on Linda. I took her online class and it was totally clear and easy to understand. Linda was very responsive to e-mail and helpful. A LOT of reading required, you def need the textbook. Offers a lot of extra credit. I would recommend her for sure though, very knowledgeable and fun.

This was a mixed class, some Saturdays, the rest online. I loved it! C'mon, you learn about books, video games, movies, etc; however-it's not easy. Just like any other class, you must do the reading and be prepared for quizzes. Linda was very helpful over email, and I enjoyed her enthusiasm. Awesome class, I will miss it.

i toke this class and really wasn't sure i i wanted to take it! the quizzes are long and the test are long also. i was able to get some test questions of quizlet but towards the end guess she figured it out and couldn't find any answers! you do have to work hard towards a good grade not an easy A class

I took the summer semester, so the amount of reading is 3-4 chapters a week, plus lecture notes and links, and Powerpoints. Quizzes every week can be difficult & time consuming. Two tests equally as difficult. Two paragraph responses to weekly topics and a project with a partner. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Do assignments on time or else.

Linda was very organized, responsive, and helpful. Tests were difficult and required almost entire amount allotted. Discussions and assignments were broken into smaller groups. Deadlines were consistent from week to week. Extra credit offered. This class was challenging, but subject was interesting and assignments were engaging.

Linda was responsive to emails. She was kind & addressed my questions clearly. The tests & exams give you one score until she goes in and adjusts them. The online CANVAS system is flawed. The tests were difficult to study for. I suggest make a study guide. Some of the material was dry for a media class. You can easily pass this class just keep up.

I felt like this was a pretty easy class. Test, quiz, discussion. Lots of extra credit opportunities.

To this day, Media 4 with Schoen has been my favorite class I've taken at the SRJC. The discussions and quizzes were extremely easy. There were fun puzzles to do every week as well. The two movies assigned and weekly lectures were also extremely interesting. If you do the work, you pass with an A. I definitely recommend taking this class!

Professor Schoen is full of knowledge, passion and dedication. I highly recommend her for your next class in Media.

Class was routine and well balanced. Read the textbook, answer some questions, do some short writings, a test, and a video discussion every 2 weeks. Sometimes the tests have wrong answers because questions are taken from old textbook editions, but if you message her she'll fix it and give you credit. Great class. Very simple and insightful.

The class I took with her is definitely a cruiser but beware of weekly padlet journal posts and biweekly GoReact videos (you record yourself) that aren't hard but do take some time to do. other than that, I can't say much about her as a person as we've never spoken outside of canvas comments. Other assignments are just easy multiple-choice quizzes.
