she is better then Pavitt!
I don't go to class and I got a b+ on the last test. People who go got c's.
better than Pavitt, but that doesn't say much.
Did not like to be told she wasn't loud enough. Acts like she is 3 years old.
She did well at explaining abstract material in an understandable way. Very nice
Easy class over winter. Don't need to read the book but she can be confusing.
Worst teacher I've ever had, questions that students asked in class she didn't
Test me on the life of her daughter-I would have got an A

all she talks about is her kids, unfriendly and hard to talk to
EASY class, all u do is talk about kid's shows, tv, movies - take this class!!!
Introduce yourself and send emails--seem interested--the tests are HARD
difficult class, you have to work really hard. she is not willing to help much
Boring class, and she is a total space cadet to do that
worst teacher, q's on the test come from no where. Save yourself
boring, makes tests tricker than needed, A's are possible w/ much studying!!
DONT TAKE HER, if u have to for your major, switch majors, shes that bad
nightmare!, doesnt wanna help/teach unless you're as smart as her
Id rather slowly rip off my fingernails than take this class again. To do What&#
Could very well be the worst teacher in the universe...tests are way to tricky

She sucks. If you ask her a question in class she'll yell at you for taking up class time, b/c she has to get through HER lecture.
Honestly...she makes absolutely no sense in her lectures and what she says in class contridicts the textbook!!!...shes the worst teacher i have ever had.
Is obsessed with television and violence among kids. That's all I got from her lectures. SO BORING!
Entire class based on extremely tricky tests...repeats herself alot and brings in extremely boring videos
if her life relied on teaching a class, she couldnt do it. she cant write a test to save her life either, boycott her classes. as a team we can get her fired!
Just...run. don't even attempt it. busted my A** for a D, got kicked out of comm. she makes no sense, she is NO HELP WHATSOEVER, and she's so rude to students. save yourself while you can
AVOID HER IF AT ALL POSSIBLE...painfully boring lectures that prove of little use for the exams. it's a mystery where her test questions come from, but she is a nice lady. too bad nice doesnt get you an A...
If words can only describe the pain this class has caused...WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER SEEN...
IF YOU SIGN UP FOR THIS CLASS, DONT EVEN GO TO IT. YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE PASSING THEN SITTING THROUGH HER GOD AWFUL LECTURES (THAT DONT EVEN MAKE MUCH SENSE).
the absolute worst teacher in the whole university. Not clear, unhelpful, thanks to her I am NOT getting in the major. She's terrible and her lectures are torture. Avoid her at all costs
worst class ever, don't bother going....you will have to teach yourself everything for the exam anyways.
told us on one of the very first days of class not to interrupt HER lecture with questions. answered her cell phone in class. rude to students. not clear or helpful at all. a beast of a woman, and she cant teach for S***.
It's a MORTAL SIN to ask a question in her class. She teaches to the walls cuz no one understands her bs. why is she still here?????

Would rather rip my arm off and eat it, then take one of her classes again.

People exaggerated this lady. She was very nice and helpful. Gave us candy during tests and ROUNDED MY GRADE UP!! Take it over the winter!!!

such a long, boring class. she just shows slides and reads what they say, which is exactly what is in the note packet she gave us. skipping a few classes wont hurt at all because you already know what she is going to say that day. extremely boring.
I do not know what these people are talking about?? She is fine professor with a big heart. I had questions about double majoring and she went out of her way to help me plan for classes. Her class is interesting and not that hard of you do your
Signorelli is a kind woman who wants to help and I do not understand why she got these ratings. I think she is a very helpful professor who has a passion for what she does and wants to share it with the students.
I don't know why everyone has such a problem with her. She was really nice and the class was easy too. Tests were always straightforward. I even thought the material was interesting too.
Horrible. Totally turned my undecided self away from a Communications major. She is very knowledgable but a horrible teacher. Every class was a slow and painfull torturous death.
She really isn't as bad as everyone says. You don't have to go to class if you read the book, and the material is not hard. Tests are easy and she is very enthusiastic and willing to help
Boring lecture, hard tests, you have to read EVERYTHING to do well, worked REALLY hard for a B, went to her for help and she was a witch
Don't diss her if you can't spell her name!
Difficult, but she has students' best interests in mind. May not be the most ideal teaching style, but she definitely knows her stuff, and you can learn a lot from her.
yes brings back bad memories of lots of confusion, contradictions, odd mood swings, and just being of no help to anyone. that cackling voice of hers too wow. study study
most boring class ever!! never went bc i couldnt sit through it.. just read the books esp taking sides and study the notes and you will be fine. its not difficult just painful.
She was nowhere near as bad as i expected. Class is pointless because she just reads your note packet to you. MC tests, very detail oriented, just skim the notes and focus on knowing the text and authors of each taking sides article.
She does nothing to make this class interesting. Her lectures come stright from the book and are so boring. Her test questions sometimes contradict what she said in her lecture. Overall I did not think she was a good professor at all.
She is terrible. As boring as a twig and she talks about that stupid ham radio her husband has every day. Never take her for anything.
Class is extreamly hard. Way to much information to comprehend and understand for the tests. One of the most boring classes that I have had in my entire life and it sucks that you have to take it to become a comm major! Good luck to everyone that has not taken it yet!!
This class was soooo boring it convinced me that I had ADD. If you want to hear about her husband, children, and boring life, take this class. If you want to learn things about communication take someone elses class.
Terrible. Like the most of the Comm classes they take easy information and try to make it more complicated to justify their jobs. Tons of worthless information and boring stories about her family, what a zero she is
Children & the Mass Media was interesting and pretty easy. She always answered all our questions and wanted our input. I think she is a good professor.
Oh Signorielli...I didn't go to class because she read from powerpoint that I had bought that she publishes. She literally reads it from the slide. Just read her notes, skim the book, don't ask questions, but try to avoid her.
Class wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be but it isn't bad. The whole class is based around a content analysis. If you are interested in research, this is the class for you. She was very helpful with the whole thing.

Avoid at all costs. She reads the slides she projects word for word. Don't count on her to explain/clarify anything. She'll just repeat the same thing again, using the term/word you're unsure of in the definition. Be prepared to teach yourself. Its time for her to retire because she obviously puts no effort into teaching nor cares about students.
this class isnt hard, it just goes by slowly. Some of the material is kinda interesting but overall its boring. Shes a nice lady but she reads straight from the notes, so if you miss class you wont miss much.
zzz...what, did i just sleep through the class? dont try to make it through an hour 15 with this prof. Not unbelieveable hard and actually quite accomplished in the field but it wouldnt seem like it. Pray for the days when she plays videos to avoid her lectures. also i dont care about your dogs lady!
Excellent Prof, Had her for Media Message Analysis AND Research Methods in 2003-04. She is tough and she knows her stuff-and expects you to take part in your learning (no spoon feeding). I'm a grad student now and I owe alot of my success NOW to the level of work I put into her classes THEN. Serious Comm majors will benefit from her classes.
Not the best I've ever had, I'll say this much: If your complaint is that you couldn't squeeze a C+ out of her instead of a C, you've got bigger problems in college than this professor.
I took her online class COMM251 "communicating effectively"... easiest online class I've ever taken! it only took me one day to go through the online required readings/assignments; if you have any questions/concerns she gets back to you through email very fast; best class possible for 1-credit elective
I don't understand why she has such bad ratings. I just finished taking research methods with her over winter sesh and easily got an A. the tests are crystal clear and follow the notes/book exactly. I recommend taking research methods over winter session with her for any CommI major. Shes also a nice person and willing to answer any questions
take research with her winter session if you need it for Comm. total easy A
Nancy is the most lovable and kindhearted professor in the Comm department!
If you do any mass comm research, you'll find her name everywhere. She knows her stuff and is so nice and helpful. her media message analysis class is easy and interesting. another cool comm professor
Class was extremely boring and she gets specific on her tests when there is a lot of information. I took it over winter session and found it harder than what people led it on to be.
She was so bad, I wanted to give her a zero. But that's not possible. So, I give her a 1.
Not the biggest fan. Hard to do well and shes very rude. Would not recccomend.
She is nice at giving feedback but there's a plethora of papers and homework passed around every day.
Very rude and was always annoying. Would give a harsh grade no matter how little a mistake was even if it was a simple punctuation error they would take off a shit ton of points do not reccomend.
