Ms. Mega is a very nice professor who cares for her students personally. She is attractive, for her age, also. Her only problem is that she sometimes lets her idealistic views distort her teaching style. She doesn't even own a TV because she has issues with society's sense of beauty and social roles. But, overall she is a respectable teacher.

Professor Mega is one of the best professors so far on CSUN campus from my experience. She actually teachers the material with good PowerPoint and great examples, recorded lectures when you dont have time to come online. Discussion and quizzes, overall this class is not easy but she guides you through everything you need to know.

super unrealistic professor. Her grading was super hard and many students would talk about how hard her grading was. went to her office hours for help and she was super rude and no help. got really good feedback on essays from tutors and still got bad grades on essays. there is a new essay every single week.

Lots of homework

Mega was an decent choice for 356. However, in lecture she covers a lot of material, stuff that is not covered in the book. You will have to read and writing a lot. A writing assignment each week. 6 quizzes covering 2 chapters each based on both the book and whatever she says in class. That frustrated me, since the book felt worthless at times.

The most uninspiring teacher Ive taken at CSUN. Gives long papers that are due on a weekly basis that take at least 4 days to write if you even want to get a C on it . People stopped attending the class because she makes you feel hopeless ,had a paper reviewed by another professor and she still gave me a B-. Hard writing class dont take will fail

Mega's lectures were very interactive and made you feel like you were a part of the class rather than a spectator. There were many extra credit opportunities for those struggling. To be honest, I never read the book since most of the exams covered her lectures, but you might need to check the book out sometimes in case something wasn't covered.

I see some students saying that she is being tough but honestly she is one of the most understanding professors out there. The ones who didn't do well in class were people who wanted to get good grades without putting effort, but honestly, the class is pretty easy - COMS 150 at least. Her lectures are also interactive which is refreshing.

Mega is amazing! She is so sharp and has a real gift for teaching communication. So professional. I was a little nervous about taking theory but turns out I was in great hands with her and learned so much. I think people who don't like her class just aren't engaging enough.

Great teacher, learned so much about life and work ethic. She actually wants you to learn and helps you with lessons on life and career outside of school. Lots of assignments but not busy-work meant to waste your time, actually used it to help me and I've found myself using so much of what she taught me useful for other COMMS classes.

Mega is a great teacher, really clear and if you pay attention in class and take notes during the lecture, you'll do just fine on her chapter quizzes. It seems like a lot of work but really it's not. Great class, learned a lot. Take Mega, she's great!

I've never written a review, but I had her for COMS 251. She is the most dedicated teacher you will have in your academic success of learning. She's extremely thoroughly and clear. She lays out her powerpoints in her lectures to help clarify all the material that will appear on the quiz. She'll be there for you when you need her as long as speak up

Professor Mega is one of my favorite professors I've ever taken. She's so nice, and her lectures are clear. Everything she goes over is on her quizzes. She sends out reminders whenever assignments are due. She's a pretty easy grader and quizzes were easy as long as you read the lectures and assigned chapters.

Just finished COMS356 with Mega, and even though this class had a lot of work, everything was doable and enjoyable. Mega is such a caring professor and I felt bad for her in the online setting as very few people would participate in the class. Overall, a solid choice for any communications class!

Such a caring professor! fully online course. Lectures were OK. You MUST read AND watch lectures to pass quizzes. Many HW assignments due weekly. Participation activities are worth 1 pt each. Reflective analysis are worth up to 7.5 pts each. 6 quizzes all worth 11 pts each. 5 extra credit opportunities, worth 1 pt each. VERY specific on grading.

My absolute favorite professor I have come across in my 3 years of college!! Extremely considerate and gives incredible, informative lectures that tie into our lives and helps you relate. You end class feeling educated and happy. She's not easy, but not absurdly hard. Take great notes and you'll pass the quizzes and midterm with flying colors!

Wouldn't take Professor again. She would take unnecessary points off for essay parts in quizzes, and couldn't answer why she would take points off. 6 quizzes and 16 questions, each quiz would be two chapters, need to watch every lecture and read the book. Lectures were split into chapters with 5 parts each being 40 min long. Two group projects.

Her class is designed for students who cheat, not for students who simply studying to graduate.She makes her assignment unnecessary difficult to convey, exam questions are not direct at all. Lecture videos are recorded 4 years. She uses 1 hour to describe things that can only take 5 min and you have to pay attention to every word to get credit.

Professor Mega's class was very interactive and informative. Two presentations, quizzes, and discussion posts. Notes, notes, and more notes. Ensure that you take detailed notes in class... not just the bullet points on the screen, but examples Professor Mega uses. Overall, good class with lots of collaboration within the class.

Her lectures were really long, I took it online and one chapter would be broken down in 3 separate recordings. Her power-points are not helpful, majority of information on the quiz is verbally said and not on the PPT (difficult to write notes on what's important info). Her quizzes are tough, get ready to take a lot of notes.

This was her zoom class. You have to take notes on the lectures and read the textbook for the quizzes. She does make up points after quizzes. 2 group projects. If you do not study for quiz it will drop your grade a bit. She doesn't give enough time for the quiz since it has 3 essay questions. She records the lectures so you can go back.
