womken in the media is the focus of the course and she is an excellent lecturer. She has complete control of the class. She encourages people to talk, and the material is interesting, including the reading and assignments.

I thought Dr. C was awesome.The only problem that she has a very east-coast sense of humor which means she is extremly sarcastic, and some people may interpret that as being mean or degrading. But she made lectures fun and interesting.

She was my sponsor for 899. Great support, enthusiasm and feedback. She was excellent in guiding me through a tough project without getting stuck in details. Wonderful to talk to and work with on a 1:1 basis.

i like dr. camacho. i loved her lectures and i don't think i've ever taken som many notes. i did write the essays at the last minute, and i probably won't remember any of this next year. she's still a super teacher!

watched a lot of tv, tests were easy, essays were a bit harder! fun class overall!

Good teacher. Enjoyed the class.

Very good teacher. Makes class fun and interesting. Is and easy grader as well.

Camacho was an interesting teacher who you can tell knows her stuff. She kept the class fun and as long as you take notes and go to class you will pass with flying colors. This class counts as a critical thinking course and is fun too! I suggest that anyone who has the opportunity to take this class does so.

I found this class to be really interesting. The teacher is funny and keeps you interested. She likes to scare you when it comes to her grading but she's actually a really easy grader. It helps to go to every class because you never know when she is going to show a tv show in class.

She was a great professor and very funny, takes a little while to get used to but good at what she does. Come to class because a majority of the tests are based on viewings in class and you get a bonus 25 points on a random day for showing up... good teacher, fun class!

The class was really interesting. She made sound like it was going to be a lot harder than it was, but if you just go to class and pay attention it was pretty easy.

She's okay! She's really sarcastic and sometimes makes you feel stupid. But make sure that you go to every class and take notes. She shows pretty cool tv shows during class. She's really helpful! You learn a lot from her. Oh! make sure you read what she assignes because if there is no participation she will get really annoyed and pissed!

totally awesome teacher. she comes off as a bit crazy at first but her teaching was the most rewarding i've ever had. she gives pleeenty of extra credit. she doesnt like slackers, so take part in discussions and let her kno u r interested. she has a lot to teach and is really nice/funny once you get to know her. i highly recommend teh class!

i really got to enjoy her class towards the end. it's challenging yet rewarding. come to class and write notes and you've got a good grade. i didn't look at the book much and it didn't really matter. it's confusing at first but you'll get the hang of it!

Dr. Camacho is a really good professor. She asks students to be active in their learning so it can be difficult to understand the material right off the bat. I absolutely loved this class. I learned so much and I'm not even a beca major. The writing assignments aren't difficult and she gives out lots of extra credit.

camacho is probably the best professor i have ever had. very fair, very true to her word. lectures do not get boring, plus you get to watch some good tv. class is challenging, but it's about tv, so even the papers are fun to do.

She tries to scare everyone the first day, and the concepts are really hard to grasp at first. But this ended up being one of my favorite classes. I never realized how interesting television could be. The viewing assignments she makes out to be really hard, but if you follow instructions they are fairly easy, TAKE THIS CLASS! dont give up!

She's intimidating. However, I love her sarcasm and humor. I really enjoyed the class. It's a bit challenging and sometimes following instructions was difficult, but still, loved the class. ^.^ You could use a binder but I suggest using a notebook for this class. You turn in almost everything on ilearn, so it's convenient. lecture = helpful, so go.

I was scared, but fared better than I expected. If you pay attention, you can do well. Simple as that.

She's very energetic

camacho. wow. scary at first, but she really knows her stuff. i disagree with whoever said you can't have an opposing view, i think she welcomed disagreement in discussion. plus, there are a lot of readings because she doesn't do quizzes and multiple tests. the papers are challenging, but worth it. the take home mid term, even more challenging, and

loved the class!!!! I really want to be a BECA major now due to her class...very opinionated and sarcastic, very funny too!! kept me up, minus the frequent use of energy drinks! Viewings in class were always the best and the lectures HOTT!!! Take this class if you really want to be in the entertainment industry

class was very interesting.watched alot of shows in class and had interesting discussions. one big paper due. do the reading and come to class in order to pass the class.

one of the best teachers i ever had at SFSU.

Bipolar. Condescending. Egomaniac. Territorial.

Best Class Ever! Class is incredibly intimidating at first.its a really tough course with really long writing assignments. Camacho is really cut-throat. But Camacho is incredibly knowledgeable and talking to her after class i learned she really cares about her students. her lectures are very well prepared and entertaining.

One of the best teachers I have had ever. She's intimidating but entertaining and you can tell she really knows what she's talking about.

Camacho is pretty intimidating and tough,but you definitely learn something after each class. She is a hard grader,but she offers a lot of extra credit. She is funny,but don't piss her off by screwing around in class. If you need help go to her office hours or email. Overall a good class, but if you want something easy this isn't the class for you.

If you do not pass her class that is on you. You go to the class 1 time a month for 50 min! and all you have to do is turn in ten 2 paragraph assignments. So easy. she treats you like an adult and exspects you to accountable for your actions. Duh! were in collage I loved her. She is a bit harsh, but thats life

Camacho is a difficult teacher, but don't let that scare you. She knows what she's talking about and is more than willing to help. She cares about the people that care about the class. So in other words, if you are looking for a class to sit back, relax, and screw around in, this is definitely not your class. Overall though, she's a good teacher.

She's pretty tough professor, but man does she know her stuff. She challenges her students to understand the material themselves. The class is rough but the tests are pretty basic. If you study, you are ok. The writing assignments, however, are tough at first. The final paper at the end of the semester is actually fun and most get A's on it.

Probably the MOST interesting classes at SF STATE. This class is pretty hard i'm not gonna lie. In the beginning, i thought it was a ll about watching tv, but its not. She def knows what she's talking about and is very organized. I learned so much about TV and it totally makes me look at it differently. I REALLY REALLY reccommend this class.TAKE IT

took class cause really had no other choice in terms of what i could get. class was actually not to bad, teacher will call people at times and has an attitude, but it made the class interesting and it wasn't hard to pay attention. just dont raise your hand. she acts like she always is going to grade super hard, but really she's fairly easy

Dr. Camacho is definitely intimidating but her lectures are very entertaining. She has a good sense of humor which makes class go by quickly. She does have a bad attitude at times but it's probably because she takes her craft seriously.

she's chill

Camacho is an very knowledgeable, and passionate about her subject. She has an amazing sense of humor that made getting up at ungodly hours easier to bear. However, if you are taking this class as a GE and are not a BECA or COMM major you are going in with a HUGE disadvantage. Theory sure isn't my thing, but I did learn a lot from this class.

Difficult class but very interesting. Readings every week, only 2 tests the entire semester but worth 50% of grade. Hard grader. I mean it's an interesting class and you have to work your butt off, ended with a B-. Go to office hours and she will help alot. Easy to get ahold via email. Lecture every class, watch television about every other class.

Camacho tends to be intimidating at first, but she's really nice & fair. She gives clear lectures in which I was able to interpret well. The class consisted of 4 papers, 1 take-home midterm, and 1 20 pg. portfolio final. If you just follow directions and critically apply readings/lectures, u will do well. I got an A in the class.

This class was awesome!! It was definitely not an easy class because the subject was very challenging and it required the learning of a completely different way of writing. Dr. Camacho can be sarcastic sometimes but she really knows her stuff. She cares about her students and always is available to answer questions. I definitely recommend her.

This class was hard and Dr. Camacho is not a difficult teacher. Just pay attention and do the reading then you will learn. I got an A in her class. I highly recommend her but if you are not serious about doing the work, then you won't pass the class. She can be intimidating, but she's a strong idnividual.

She holds high expectations from her students, but if you really try to do all the readings, show up to class and stay engaged, you'll do well. Your grade consists of: 3 in class essays, 1 exam, 1 10pg paper, and participation. She always promptly responded my emails quickly, and was helpful with all my questions

Definitely puts on a hard exterior in class but for good reason. 1-on-1 she's totally different & EXTREMELY helpful. She's an acquired taste for sure; hated her at first but love her now. If you're on her good side (by making sure you do the work) you're golden. If you don't & you're highly sensitive, I wouldn't recommend her. I think she's awesome

I don't understand why she has bad reviews. She is an AMAZING professor. Whoever doesn't like her is probably too lazy to put the effort in the class that is required to better you as a person. Also tip for passing: E-mail her constantly whenever you have questions or to look at your assignments. She will do EVERYTHING to help you.

Camacho will baby you and give you bull criticism. She will take the time to thoroughly go through your work and really try to dissect it. This is not a class for those wanting an easy A, but I can assure you she will do everything to help you reach that level. You get what you put into it. Take advantage of someone grading at an industry standard.

Camacho is tough on her students, but it really pays off. You will be a better writer after this class. Follow her directions, turn things in on time, and you can get an A. Be aware: you will have to put in a LOT of hours to get that A, but it's possible and totally worth it.

Tough but fair. Often snarky but goofy at times. Her writing class is not an easy ride, but you will learn a lot. She gives extensive feedback and never stops challenging you. If you're thin-skinned or afraid of feminism, you'll have a problem with her, but if you're open-minded and ready to work, she's golden.

This class is tough and Camacho is not joking around. You have to pay attention, participate, and learn. She will give you touch assignments with even tougher criticisms. You need to do the work to get the A. You need to learn how to write and Camacho is going to teach you. If you're serious about wanting to learn, take this class. I loved it.

Worst professor I've ever had in my entire life. Don't believe me? Go see for yourself. I told you so.

Camacho grades based on industry standards, which are tough! It seemed unfair to me at first that the expectation was so high for my first media writing class. Once I got to know her, it's clear that she will look for progress over perfection at the end of the semester. She will help you out but you must be willing to work hard!

This class is an easy A if you're looking for something to boost your GPA. Did I agree with her opinions? Nope. But it doesn't matter. All you have to do is regurgitate the readings onto your paper, include proper citations and then bam, you get an A. But that aside, she actually is a very sweet woman if you ever go talk to her during office hours

You will DEFINITELY learn something. TV genres & how it relates back to society. A LOT of reading and writing but it's worth it! Helped me get into the habit of meeting assignment deadlines. Assignments: Reading brief, 3 questions: summary, cultural conversations, & your questions about the reading. 7-8 paper on ANY TV show that we haven't covered.

One of the best professors I've ever had
