The instructor is very nice to everyone in entire quarter to help you with what you do not know and being mindful and to be respectful is the best way to pass this class because the discussion and the writing for this class has to be done by knowing what the instruction is asking for you to do. But there is no need to hesitate because there is time

Good grades in his class require prep, focus, dedication and hard work. When the qtr was over, I left his class with new knowledge and skills as a writer/communicator. The best part of his style teaching is that the process did not feel like learning; he instructs casually and it's fun. You will actually use the tools he teaches outside the class.

Mr. Edwards is very friendly and funny. However, his critiques can feel a little vague if this is your first time writing this kind of material. Besides that, he always allows emails if you have questions. Don't be afraid to stop him to ask things, because he does move quickly sometimes.

The online class is pretty much self-taught; no dates on the course calendar so you have to schedule it out yourself, and the PPT are useless without classroom context. Every point is weighed equally (articles are 100 pts each) against your grade, so small mistakes can make a huge difference.

Matt is an overall solid teacher; my main objection to his style is the fact that he gives out very little homework other than major tests, discussions and speeches. That combined with the fact that his critiques are more strict than most of my teachers at the college thus far makes it potentially difficult to get an A in his class.

Professor Matthew is proficient with this communication study class, I had a problem understanding the common tactics and strategies in many social aspects but my confidence to engage with social matters got raised distinctively after the class. Would definitely take this class again if I had to.

Wonderful professor, clearly cares about his students success. Despite only meeting 3 times during the quarter Matt was able to make the environment feel welcome and supportive which is something most professor's are unable to do. For a communication studies class I feel this is imperative and Matt nails it.

Professor Edwards was really nice, his class was very interesting. While we have a schedule class meetings, it was only 4 times the whole quarter, that was great. I was sick by the end of the quarter and he was very understanding and we find a different way to work on my finals assignment. Good feedbacks, he takes the time, highly recommended.

My advice to students is if you put in effort he will recognize and remember that. He is very direct and a clear communicator (go figure, check his profession) therefore expectations WILL be outlined for you.

I took CMST 250, the work load is okay compared to my other classes with flexible deadlines. However, his grading is way to strict. The Discussion forums require 10~20 paragraphs of writing(works out to 1,000+ words min), plus some replies. He should just call it an essay.

He is a fast grader, and only assigns like 10 assignments the entire quarter that will take you less than 30 minutes to complete.

Yes, attendance is mandatory and is part of the grade. If you show up, and talk like once though, you get full points for the week. No late work, but he understands life happens, and if you let him know he understands (doesn't ask for proof). Lectures are interactive, not a lot of work. Really nice guy overall, grading seems lenient too.

Actually pretty good for an online class. Only four sets of assignments, due around three weeks apart. Do your discussion posts while reading the book, it'll make your life easier. He grades discussion posts harshly, but just do minimum three paragraphs, seven sentences each paragraph, and you'll be good. Only around 2-3 hours of homework a week.
