Professor makes you pay for her $60 textbook which is unfortunate but she's a very caring teacher and super passionate about her work. You definitely have to put in a work for a good grade but it's not too hard considering that this class is incredibly interesting. The most fun class I've had at Northeastern. Can also take class online.COMM2135 2021-12-13 06:22:59 +0000 UTC
Carey could get judgemental of students and she often targeted me in a class of 15. I enjoyed the content of the class but not her.FSEM1101 2020-11-10 19:27:01 +0000 UTC
She's one of the nicest and most caring professors you will have.COMM4530 2018-12-04 17:35:02 +0000 UTC
Carrie is awesome, you'd expect her to be a very easy grader because her lectures are always so informal and light, but she grades pretty strictly. She's very very dedicated to teaching and is very kind and funny. She can be a little disorganized and unclear, but she will no doubt be one of your favorite professors.COMM2531 2009-12-10 19:35:51 +0000 UTC
Noland is really witty and you can tell she knows what she's talking about. The lectures range from interesting to not so interesting depending on what the topic is, but she at least always sounds interested while she's talking, and that helps a lot of times. She's good about helping you when she can.INTROORG 2008-06-30 15:16:29 +0000 UTC
She is a nice teacher, but she's very disorganized and can never tell you exsactly what you need to do. She's terrible about facilitating discussion, and doesn't give good feedback. Sometimes she'll skip a whole section because she can't figure out how to word it.CMN531 2006-12-05 14:46:46 +0000 UTC
Probably the best teacher I have had. Her stories are funny, helpful, and on-topic. She is fun but also a good teacher. I learned a lot from her and switched concentrations because of her. She is generally a fair grader, but does pick favorites. Of course, her favorites are the kids who work hardest, so it makes sense.INTROORGCOM 2006-06-26 14:25:49 +0000 UTC
good teacherORGCOMM1 2006-06-23 12:43:57 +0000 UTC
Awww she is great...wonderful professor...for the most part in her class you get what you deserve but she is such a great teacher that it makes you want to study hard on your own, just to keep her happy. I reccommend this class to you.METHODSANDRES 2006-01-02 21:05:24 +0000 UTC

Carey is an awesome professor in the sense that she makes the class exciting and fun. She's interested in hearing our stories and experiences whilel tying it into the class material. The only downside is her tests are hard and she's a hard grader. Otherwise, she's a great teacher!ORGCOM 2005-04-04 10:19:43 +0000 UTC
Prof Noland is really hilarious and is able to keep a really casual atmosphere in class. I wasn't interested in OrgComm at all before, and I really enjoyed the class. One downside: she doesn't give very good feedback. Kind of nods her head and moves on to the next person. That's discouraging.CMN231 2005-03-21 15:18:00 +0000 UTC
