She's a good teacher, and I learned a lot, but she grades so harshly! Good luck getting an A in the class. Seriously, if you're planning on applying to a program that requires this class, think about taking it from someone more likely to give you a good grade.

Prof Wallentine is a quality teacher. She implements her professional experience into her teaching very well. This implementation makes the class very interesting and useful. Yes, she demands a lot and grades strictly; however, the work is well worth it.

She is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in writing and business . . . I took this class last spring and even though it was a two-hour class, she totally kept my attention the whole time even while we went over grammar. I loved this class!

She is one of the greatest instructors I've had at the university. She has a well of knowledge and skills almost too deep to measure. She teaches with great clarity. Class is a lot of fun. She expects a lot, but is a very fair grader. I highly recommend taking MCOM 320 from her.

Professor Wallentine is one of the best professors I had at BYU. She is smart, fun, and I would recommend this class to anyone who wants a great teacher and a great friend. Class is not difficult if you pay attention and she provides countless opportunities for extra help.

Wallentine is very intelligent. She's also funny, but in a very professional way. All of her assignments have real practical value. The grammar test was kind of hard, but you can take it twice. There are a lot of writing assignments, and there is a group writing assignment. Expect lots of red on your papers, even if you write well.

She is extremely intelligent. So incredibly nice with a great sense of humor. The class has tons of writing, but it's all practical business documents and useful. Just a wonderful, happy, helpful professor.

Prof. Wallenting is one of the best professor's I've had at BYU. I was a little worried about the class on the first day (and it wasnt an easy class by any means) but she is an awesom teacher and I learned a lot.

Professor Wallentine is one of the best professors I've had at BYU. She's extremely fair, and is more than happy to help with any questions for any of the assignments. The class wasn't easy by any means, but extremely practical and helpful. First day of class was pretty scary because of the amount of work required, but it was definitely worth it.

Probably the best professor I have had at BYU. Her class is hard but you actually learn valuable things in it which is nice for a change. She is very nice and helpful.

Professor Wallentine is one of the best professors in the department. She adapts the way she teaches the course to how the class best learns. The course requires time and effort, that is part of the business school, but she does an excellent job preparing students for the professional world.

She is one of the best teachers at BYU. I learned more from this class than any other. It is very time consuming and big projects/papers due every week. All are related to business and are things you will need to do in the future. Highly recommended. The grammar test is very hard, but you can take it twice.

Great class but not an easy A

AMAZING TEACHER! I didn't do so hot in her class, but she has a sincere desire to help students in every circumstance. Get a group together, and study with them on a regular basis. Stay on top of the reading if you want to survive.

AWESOME,a great friend to the student. Highly recommend. I was forced to take the class and I not only made it through the class but I learned things that will stick with me through life!

Wallentine definately makes you work for your grade, but she is the most supportive, helpful, thought provoking, inspiring, funny, approachable professor around. She is the hardest grader of all the MCOM professors, but her class is totally worth the extra effort. The skills I learned from her will put me ahead of the competition looking for a job.

This has been (yes I just used passive voice there...sorry Prof. Wallentine) one of the the best classes I've taken at BYU. Yes, she is a tough grader, but the class is worth the effort. This class is necessary for life in any field.

Very amazing! Yes, its tough but well worth it.

She is amazing! She teaches so well and it wasn't just about grammar and punctuation, but how to be successful in the business world. She explains things so well. My writing has improved tremendously because of her class. Not an easy A, but still worth all the effort.

GREAT teacher. I really improved my communication skills in this class. I was nervous to take because writing (and speaking) is not my forte, but the class is do-able if you put forth the effort. Take from Wallentine!

Professor Wallentine is incredible! I cannot say enough good about her-both as a teacher and as a person. She is clear, funny, thought provoking, and down right inspirational. She is one of those teachers that lifts you up and pushes you to do better and be better. Take this class from her if you can!

This class was possibly more applicable to real life than any other class at BYU. Professor Wallentine was brilliant at getting her message across. She's perfect combination of an English teacher and a businesswoman--classy, refined, and professional. I would take every class from her if I could.

She is a great Professor who really cares about the success of her students. She does a lot of fun activities to encourage learning and improving your business communication skills.

Prof Wallentine is awesome. She is a terrific professor who truly gets to know her students individually. The class itself teaches tons of skills used in future employment and the professional world. Great class. It's not easy though, you'll have your work cut out for you, but it is well worth it to take it from her.

Best teacher I have ever had in my life.. I hate homework, I almost hate school, but I loved her class, because everything she teaches is perfectly practical... And she's from Arkansas.

Wonderful teacher! I would highly recommend her! She is incredibly knowledgeable, and everything taught is incredibly applicable. She is very effective with class time and homework.

Prof. Wallentine is awesome! She is never puts herself above the students and really wants you to understand. There are quite a few assignments, but not too hard.

An assignment is due almost every class period. I believe the amount of work students complete for the class is equivalent to other classes. Wallentine is a very fair grader and explains concepts well. The grammar test and the final are uniform department wide, but she does a good job preparing you for both tests. The textbook is super useful.

A great professor who is very willing to help you out if you take the time to visit her during office hours. But be warned! She is a very critical (yet fair) grader and this class definitely isn't an easy A. My business writing improved dramatically through this course though.

Prof. Wallentine is a great professor. She made class interesting and knows a lot. Her grading was very difficult because no one in our section got an A. You pretty much got a B+ no matter what you did. Take the class if you don't mind getting a B+.

She really cares about each student. At the end of the semester, our class felt like more of a family than a random mix of students. I think that was because she is so individual with her students. She is extremely classy and has a dignified way about her... I would say I have learned more in that class than several other generals combined.

Guys, Prof Wallentine is the real deal. She achieves the perfect balance of being hard enough to help you improve your business writing, while being easygoing enough to joke around and get to know her students. I hate writing but her class had relevant assignments. The workload is rough, but it will be with any M COM teacher so take from her!

Love. Her. Legit, y'all. Heed the comments of the people here and take MCOM from Prof. Wallentine. She is a fair grader and cares about her students. Easily in the top 3 professors I've had at BYU.

Professor Wallentine teaches clearly and is very genuine. This class is a lot of work no matter who you take it from, but everything you learn is very useful.

Mrs. Wallentine is the best teacher to take MCOM 320 from. She is an amazing human being. I loved her lectures. We got out of class early almost everyday, no busy work, and she pushed back deadlines while also giving less assignments just because she is nice. I loved everything.

She is a very kind, reasonable and professional. She has about 6 hours she is available in her office each week, and she also responds to emails. She uses a free online textbook, and many quizzes are based on the reading. Everything she teaches is done in a way to promote student success and professionalism in the workplace.

This class was great because it teaches a lot of very useful real-world skills. Professor Wallentine cares about students and wants to help you succeed. I just wish her class was a bit more structured so that I knew what was wanted on assignments so I could be more successful.

Professor Wallentine is a great professor. I highly recommend this class if you're going into any sort of business. You learn real-life, hand-on things. There is a lot of homework, but if you put in the time it's very doable. Professor Wallentine makes the class very engaging, she uses videos and activities to keep things interesting and memorable.

Professor Wallentine Is really great. She wants her students to succeed but also expects you to put in the effort and isn't going to give you an A without earning it. That being said I've been pleasantly surprised in this class. Everything we learn is applicable in the real world.

Prof. Wallentine is great. Her lessons are very useful, she knows her stuff. My one complaint is that some of the assignments were kind of vague and it was hard to know what was due sometimes because the schedule on canvas was confusing. Overall, I would take this class again. Make sure to have your big assignments reviews before turning them in.

Great professor. The class was a lot of work, but she is very considerate and changes due dates if the class asks for more time. Only one test all semester, but lots of papers and projects. The textbook is online, and class attendance is recommended.

MCOM is a difficult class no matter who you take it from. Professor Wallentine taught a lot of real-life skills that I know I will use in my job. She also clearly cared a lot about her students. Getting an A is definitely difficult, but her grading criteria are clear so you could if you put in the effort.

Professor Wallentine was amazing! This class is extremely applicable and she made topics like grammar even interesting. She also was great at explaining difficult concepts and answering questions in an understandable way. Class isn't mandatory, but attending class is really important to do well on assignments.

I really was not a fan of the content of the course, so that was hard for me to overlook. That being said, Professor Wallentine is engaging and teaches from experience. She helped me to understand the value of the course material through personal experiences.

She is a really awesome professor. She cares a lot and really wants to help if you need it, but projects and assignments are a little disorganized so it is sometimes hard to know what the heck is going on

Professor Wallentine is an amazing professor. She cares about her students and wants to help her students become good communicators. Make sure to stay on top of homework and quizzes and always check due dates.

I'm not the best student & I'm pretty shy, but I still think this class was great. Prof Wallentine is so nice and still professional. She understands that you have other classes and a life, so work isn't overwhelming and she's willing to work with you if you need help or need more time. This class never stressed me out. Take her class!!!

She loves her job and really cares, teaches you how to write and present well

She is one of the most impressive teacher I know. Her class is very applicable and you can use what you are taught immediately. She also cares about her students and has tons of life/work experience to help anyone. I highly recommend taking her class if you don't choose to take this class online.

MCOM320 is a very hard class. There is a lot of paper writing, but the writing is for your benefit. The skills I learned are skills I will use for the rest of my life. Professor Wallentine is so fun to work with, and I feel I learned so much from her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to earn their MCOM credit.

Professor Wallentine cares about her students success and is very willing to help inside and outside of the classroom. She helps make the class very manageable.

Professor Wallentine is a great professor. She cares about students and she does a great job at teaching difficult concepts. There were some frustrating assignments and sometimes I didn't feel like the criteria was clear for what she wanted. I think she purposely keeps rubrics vague so make sure to ask lots of questions in class.

Professor Wallentine is the kindest professor I have ever had. Her lectures are so interesting. Even though Mcom is known to be a mundane class, this was literally my favorite class of the semester. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

Really enjoyed the course and appreciated the material. Very applicable to the real world. It was difficult to get an A on any assignments though. The instructions and grading rubrics were vague to the point that there's no clear-cut way to get a good grade on anything. Felt like the grades I got were very subjective.

Prof. Wallentine is awesome. She really knows her stuff, especially grammar and English. This class starts out kinda boring as it is purely grammar related but gets really interesting and applicable after 2 or 3 weeks. Grading is fair, has a good amount of projects that take time.

Prof Wallentine is a great teacher. I hate writing and basically everything this course teaches but she made it bearable and was super nice. She is always available to help you outside of class and really cares about students and their learning.

Professor Wallentine is one of my all time favorites. She has a fun sense of humor, and I felt the care that she has for her students. She KNOWS her stuff. Seriously so smart, I learned so much.

Ms. Wallentine is an excellent professor and she really knows her stuff. I recommend MCOM to anyone that might find themself in the business world. She is a tough grader, but the material is extremely practical and relevant. The grammar portion at the beginning is particularly brutal. Wallentine is insightful, easy-going, and a lot of fun.

Professor Wallentine is easily one of my favorite professors at BYU. She is hilarious and makes learning about business writing fun. The lectures were great, the grading was a bit intense but the only reason I got my grade was because I forgot to turn in 4 assignments. If you have to take MCOM I definitely recommend taking it from her. She is great

I LOVE her. She is an incredible professor and I have a ton of respect for her. She was super kind and compassionate when I came to her with some personal struggles and was also an incredible professor. She grades hard, but gives good feedback and is accessible for help.

She is really caring and gives good feedback on assignments which helps you to learn quickly. The class was somewhat unorganized, but the textbook is free which was really nice. The grammar is very difficult in this class which helps you to become a better writer.

Professor Wallentine's class was great! I felt that she did a great job at giving good feedback so you could learn from your mistakes (especially grammar errors). She also would go over common mistakes many times, which I appreciated. The class was slightly disorganized which was frustrating.

Awesome class, awesome professor. I would definitely take a class from her again. Because of COVID, the class was forced to be online, and she did a great job of being accessible and teaching in a difficult situation. Super considerate and willing to work with you. There is a lot of reading and writing, but it has been one of my favorite classes.

Professor Wallentine is great! The class itself was disorganized--I think that was just because she was trying to figure out Canvas and the class online.) There are quite a few different papers and projects and she grades harshly but your learn a lot. She was always willing to go out of her way to help you though. If you want help, you'll get it.

The class is a lot of work -- it is a 300 level business writing. I took it during Spring Term, so everything was shortened to half the time (made very ... action-packed weeks). Professor Wallentine really does want you to succeed, provides the resources, and gives rubrics and clear feedback. She is very sweet.

Professor Wallentine is a great professor! The class was definitely not the greatest organized, but that's because she was adapting it to be online with little notice. She is always available for help and understands the workload difficult. You definitely learn a ton in her class!

Prof. Wallentine was great! This class has lots of little assignments, but if you show up and do your work, you'll do fine. The online format had some issues, but Prof. Wallentine did a great job of handling the tech issues, which weren't even her fault.

Melissa Wallentine does a great job teaching the material and not wasting your time. I took the class in an online format, and there were some technical issues with Canvas, but those weren't her fault, and she tried her best to solve those issues. There is a graded activity for every class so its important to attend.

Shes a great professor, but I sometimes felt like the amount she discussed an assignment in class didn't always reflect how serious an assignment is. I also often felt blindsided by the feedback. The assignment description and rubric did not always reflect how thoroughly she would dig into your assignment.

Dr. Wallentine is a fantastic teacher! I enjoyed that she was very clear and efficient about structuring the class and the assignments were always engaging. I've ended up using and remembering things she taught in my life outside of class quite frequently!

Professor Wallentine really helped me to become a better writer. The grammar section is tough and you can lose points really easily, but if you put in the effort and learn from her you will do well! She was very willing to answer questions and help outside of class as well.

Professor Wallentine is such a great professor. She's very caring and helpful. She really wants you to succeed and makes time for her students. I highly recommend taking from her if you are taking MCOM.

Prof. W herself is lovely, and the class is quite easy but it is full of busy work that matters not at all, especially if you already have a job lined up. I would definitely recommend taking it from her - even though she grades really harshly, the class is curved so it doesn't matter.

TAKE IT FROM PROF. WALLENTINE. You won't regret it. The class is a decent amount of work, but it's so useful. Lectures are amazing, and I have so much respect for her. She's very understanding and will work with you if you are having trouble in class.

Professor Wallentine herself is amazing. She's clear, professional, and cares about her students' success. Unfortunately, the course is torturous. Despite how great she is, the nature of the class is comprised of pure nit-pickiness, absolute perfection, and unattainable standards. She's obligated to follow this dogma, so prepare for less than an A.

She is a very nice lady and definitely knows what she is talking about. The class is challenging and requires a lot of time. Some weeks seem really heavy and others not so much, so work on assignments for the class even if it seems like there isn't anything immediately due. She is very willing to help if you ask her.

She is an awesome professor and as long as you are willing to put in effort, this class is a breeze. There are a few assignments that make up most of your grade. A business article, grammar exam, and a group project. The grammar exam is tough, and the group project depends on the group you get, but overall this class is a really good one.

honestly, if you get to know her, she's an awesome person. I have had a tough semester and have been open and honest with her and she has given me extensions on all my assignments. She's a really great person and she's funny. Super understanding, passionate about what she teaches, and a genuinely good human being. there is a lot of homework due.
