Must buy access code. Graded by 11 chapters, 11 quizzes, 4 discussions, 3 skills tests, 3 surveys, 1 Midterm, and 1 Final exam. Chapters are like index cards. Retake quizzes 3 times (3% penalty). MIDTERM & FINAL ARE THE SAME AS THE QUIZZES, so if you do good on quizzes, you'll do great on the Midterm and Final. Overall, super easy.

The textbook isn't used in class, but you DO need it in order to study for her EASY tests. The speeches you have to do aren't graded too harshly because she knows that we're not professional public speakers. She's one of the kindest people I've ever met. I can tell she has a truly genuine soul and cares about helping her students succeed.

Took her online class & it was super easy. It was very repetitive so I knew what to expect each week. Would love to take her class again. Very helpful and caring when you need help and replies fast!

Absolutely loved her! Simple and straight forward class. By far one of my favorite online classes Ive ever taken! You can totally get an A as long as you complete every assignment. Takes time but totally worth the effort cause it pays off!

Took her online class and it was pretty straight forward. Just be careful to do all assignments before due date as it is not accepted late. If you do all the assignments you can easily get at least an A

Lots of homework

For you be able access cavas book questions which replays until you get question correct so therefor I really felt like I was learning. If you need easy a take it

Took her online class for Comm100 and it felt like she truly does not care about what her students are going through with the whole pandemic going on, she has videos for chapters that date back 3-4 years, and for first week assignment we had a survey that said to turn into canvas yet the day after the due date she says that results must be emailed.

This class is very lectured based but all from the textbook so make sure you invest in that. Really good at explaining the lectures and gives good examples to support the text.

took her online course, it wasn't too bad although there is a lot of reading. Pretty time consuming but not hard. Easy A if you turn in work.

DO not take her. She is a very tough grader and expects you to know how to write perfectly and doesn't give any grace. Her online class doesn't have any lectures, so you are pretty much teaching yourself. Her exams consist of essays and require you to write exactly what she wants to a T. If you have another option, take someone else.

Doesn't break up the material in an easy way. She will have some weeks where noting is due, yet then have a week with an exam and a discussion board post due. The exams consist of writing four, complete and detailed essays based on reading the book. If you don't write precisely what she wants you will be graded down.

Tests are 400 points while homework is worth 10-25! Very hard grader who isn't open-minded to answers other than her own opinion. Easy homework but this course had the hardest tests I've ever taken. Tests are 4 essays each worth 100 point and an hour and a half to write them all. Beware. Stressful course and lots of reading.
