this woman is great. editing for clear comm is one of the easiest classes if you can handle editing articles on a daily basis. we had ap style quizzes and current events quizzes, which helped out a bunch..and were not hard if you studied.

awesome teach!

I'm taking her for Mass Media, and she's a really cool professor. She's a STICKLER for attendance-she counts off after 2. Other than that, no text, just printouts and discussion on TV/news/movie clips watched in class. Easy-only 2 tests and no assignments. This is a great class to balance out more stressful ones.

She's definately a cool lady. Talks of the days when she was a hippie (still is) Be careful though, only a mid-term and final. Allowed 2 absences, then points start droping. No text, just printouts on TRACS. I made a B

I love Dr.Weill she's one of the nicest and most genuine people I've met in my entire life. Her class is really entertaining and interesting.

She's great, and the class is really easy. She e-mails notes before every class, and there is little from her lecture not on these handouts. On a personal level, I talked to her pretty often, and she's a great person to talk to about anything within or outside class. I highly recommend her.

Class is super easy, and fun! All you have to do is show up with printed notes and watch videos! Tests are easy all about notes and videos....NO BOOK!!! Dr. Weill is groovy =)

She's hilarious and she keeps class fun and interesting. She always dismisses class 30 minutes early. Majority of class is just watching YouTube, and watching The Colbert Report and the Daily Show. It's an easy A

Super easy class. Pretty fun, and some of the stuff you learn will be great for trivia night.

No book just lecture notes and plenty videos!

One of the easiest classes I have ever taken in my life. You will watch a ton of videos and you will easily make an A on each test if you just scan over the notes she provides online before the test.

Weill is very quirky and VERY opinionated (left-wing, politically) Her class is very interesting though, but the tests are rather difficult and I definitely had to study. I made a B, but the experience was worth it. She is very friendly and wants to get to know her students. She'll also help MC majors in any way she can.

I loved this class! There's no textbook, and she provides the notes for each lecture. She genuinely wants to know her students and loves to inject humor into the course.

Easy A! Just go to class because the extra points that could help with your grade come from attending. No textbook. Only notes that she provides. What more can you ask for? Very pleasant woman and tries to get to know students. The course is very interesting. No assignments, just three tests. Everything comes from the notes. Final exam is optional.

Easy A! Interesting material. No textbook just study notes and go to class!

She overloads your inbox with redundant e-mails, calls students "a**holes" and is extremely passive aggressive when it comes to in class behavior. Her tests are not that tough, there is no textbook and the class is moderately interesting. It is a required class and she is the only one that teaches it, so just prepare yourself.

This class is for sure not a blow off class! the test are online and fairly difficult, you must remember statics that she gives you in class/Tracs to do decent!!

At first thought this class was a blow off class, but I was wrong. She doesn't count attendance but going to class makes everything easier. No textbooks (just notes) and all tests are online. Tests are not super hard but can be tricky. Good teacher and makes class interesting.

She makes lecture very interesting. No textbook, but lecture notes for every class that are very vague to encourage attendance. Tests are online and VERY hard.

I had this teacher before she administered tests online, but I will say that this is NOT a blow off class. Her tests are based on her lectures and videos. Print out the lecture slides and take notes on whatever statistics she gives for sure. She can, however, be a little disorganized but an easy class to pass!

No Book, Test are based on lecture notes, and test are online. THIS TEACHER REQUIRES COMMON SENSE so if you do not have any don't even bother. she is a good teacher. Go to class and write down whatever she says. Very funny. Just because she shows videos doesn't mean dont come. Out of 90 students 20 attended regularly. Make a index of your lectures.

I'm currently taking this class and I think it's very interesting! Her lectures are clear and make sense if you go over the notes and read the objectives that she posts. Just pay good attention to detail and you should have no problem passing the exams. Got an A on my first one!

Her tests are really confusing. "All may be correct but which one is the most correct." She tries to confuse you. However, if you read it carefully you will do fine. I suggest taking it online. Time consuming. Take notes on what she says about video clips, etc.

Honestly, if you fail this class or have a low grade, it's because you aren't trying hard enough. Extremely easy class. Attendance not mandatory, but I recommend it to absorb information better. Open note online exam. Yes the questions are tricky, but it only requires critical thinking. Have any questions for her? She has time after class.

Her class is so easy if you just listen to the lectures and read the notes and articlesvideos she links to. Her tests are a little confusingly worded, so you have to read the questions carefully, but other than that, there's really no reason you shouldn't get an A in this class.

Honestly if you watch the videos and read the assigned readings you'll pass no problem. Test questions require you to read every option "which is most accurate". Go back and rewatch the videos before the test, she usually states important things to remember for each exam. Unless you don't try this class is easy to pass.

Sue makes her progressive stances on issues very obvious. Every assignment in MC5301 was an essay, from the regular chapter assignments to the final exam. You have to be able to think and write critically. She replies to emails very quickly and is quite clear on grading criteria. Get ready for her to blow your mind with her thoughtful lectures.

I really enjoyed this course! It was online, and there was no textbook. Just her lectures which I found very enjoyable. I watched the lectures multiple times and this helped prepare me for the exams.

Take Susan Weill for any and every online course you need at Texas State! I never bought the book for either online course I took from her and I don't think its necessary. Print out the chapter outlines and fill them out while watching the mini lectures. Tests for both courses were open note but timed so no big deal! TAKE HER!

Professor Mora was a good time. I took Her class online and it didn't require much effort at all. Every 4 weeks she would have an exam, and I would study a couple hours a day, a few days before the exam and I was totally fine. Her tests are formatted in a difficult and confusing way, but as long as you pay attention you have nothing to worry about.

The class was online, and so I didn't have much interaction with the professor. Her instructions were clear, though. Tests were open notes. I can't understand how anyone didn't get an A.

I took Dr. Weill's Summer 1 session in 2017. Let me begin by saying Dr. Weill does NOT deserve the negative ratings. Her tests are thorough though, so preparation is a must! During Summer 1 we had 3 tests each worth 33% and 3 extra credit opportunities worth 4 points on the exam. It's fast paced but easy to do well in if you put in the work.

Took MC3355 Summer II. Yes, it's a lot of work, but it IS 16 weeks of content in 4 weeks. If you actually read and watch all the materials, you'll be fine. (Pro tip: save everything.) No textbook. 3 tests make up your final grade, and there is an optional 4th test if you aren't satisfied with your grade. Fascinating class, definitely recommend!

I said test heavy because the tests are extremely tricky in sense that there is only one word difference in the answer choices. But she was such a sweet lady and this class was so interesting that it made me want to continue in mass comm. Really study and understand the material and you should be okay.

Easily one of my top 5 favorite professors at Texas State. It was an online class but you really have to watch all the lectures, do the readings, and take your own notes on the lectures & readings. I mean that's a basic college course, if you can't do that then yeah you're gonna have a hard time. Prepare to learn about uncomfortable truths too.

Class is simple do the reading, listen to her Lectures. There is alot of items to review, but its interesting stuff, as long as you do your reading, take your lecture notes, you will do fine. 4 Tests - 3 one is optional that can average out to boost up your grade. If your not lazy you can EASILY get and A. If your a reader this class is a breeze.

Graded on 3 exam and an optional 4th. Lectures are pleasurable, she just speaks FAST. I would keep having to pause the video to write the notes down, it distracted from getting the full effect of the lecture. Lots of reading and short extra videos to watch on top of the lecture. The lecture videos range from 12-25 mins. Passionate Professor!!

This class was super easy for me. The only grades are 3 exams and an optional final. All you need to do is take notes/screenshot the lectures and youll be fine for the tests. My only complaint is that her lectures are HIGHLY political, so be prepared.

Guidelines clear. Great feedback. Quizzes are easy 100s. Biggest grades are media projects due every other week. Easy to get an A if you do what is asked. Dr. Weill is very sweet and a pleasure.

Overall this class is easy: online lectures that open up in blocks, with 3 exams total. She tends to talk really fast in the lecture videos. The content of the course is interesting though, and she provides note outlines which is nice. Exams aren't too bad, just read carefully.

As long as you watch the lecture videos and fill in the given outlines, you'll get an A. This was the first online class I have taken and I mixed up the date of the 1st test so I received a 0. She has a STRICT no make-up policy so it brought my grade down tremendously but I still passed because I did well on the other exams.

I took this class online and it was enjoyable! Weill made the course interesting with her media background and I learned a lot about media and society! Learning modules are available until test day. There are 3 exams and an optional final. She provides outlines, so just take notes and you'll be fine. Easiest note-taking is typing while listening.

My advice is to take notes (type them) from her lecture videos word from word. Pause, rewind, and spend however long it takes because her test are not easy. 50 questions that will ask, "Which of the following is most accurate?" I made a low C on the first test and then a high B on the next one because I figured out how I needed to study.

Weekly lectures and exams but they actually are pretty interesting and relative to what is in current news.

In order to really do WELL in the class, you have to spend hours working on each module and there are about 3-4 per test. You have to go through the lectures and write down every word because of how the tests are worded (which statement is most accurate). HINT: if the answer choices are"x, y, or x&y", always choose the one that includes all of them

I LOVED Dr. Weill's classes (I also took 4302 at the same time). It was important to grasp every detail from the video lectures because the test questions were often word-for-word right out of those notes, but I got the hang of it quick and learned so much. Very inspiring teacher; sad to be done with my minor and out of the Mass Comm department.

Yes, the exams can be tough, but if you write everything down word for word you should be fine. She's always available through email since she does mostly online classes these days, and she always responds quickly. The exams are worded as such, "Which of these statements is most accurate", so be ready to be exact.

She provides an outline with everything you'll need to write down for the test. It is open note for the tests, but you'll definitely need to review before hand. She provides plenty of time to get the Modules done, but know that they are time intensive even though they are easy to complete. She responds quickly to emails! Don't skimp on your notes!

3 Exams and lots of quizzes (2 per week). Her lectures range from 15 mins to an hour. Each lecture comes with fill in the blank word document you will need for your exams. Each lecture comes with a 5 question quiz. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE END TO TAKE THE QUIZZES! She does not allow extension of due dates so do your work on time.
