I feel so... conflicted? I guess? about Political Comm with Carole Bell. She's brilliant, and I loved the subject + lectures. But being a teacher isn't her priority, and she just doesn't give any feedback (nor does she respond to emails or place a priority on student success). Easy grader, though, so we all ended up doing ok.COMM3320 2017-01-23 16:28:20 +0000 UTC
Class focusses around material that she likes and does personal research on. This would be okay if she gave us readings that fit in with her research--but she doesn't. You're looking at around 80-100 pagesclass and it's not optional because she gives really specific pop quizzes. A lot of work with little reward. I regret taking this class.COMM3610 2014-10-15 16:39:09 +0000 UTC
TONS of reading... otherwise great class. Very knowledgeable & interested prof.COMM4610 2014-05-05 10:47:12 +0000 UTC
Dr. Bell is an intelligent woman but not always clear at explaining concepts. However, her quizzes and tests are pretty straightforward and only cover things she really stresses in class. Attendance not mandatory but necessary to understand the material. Overall a good professor.COMM1220 2012-05-01 07:53:09 +0000 UTC
Very much a challanging women. Yes, she is smart, but very highly demanding. She focuses highly on feminism, and chooses things she likes to teach rather then what should be taught.COMM101 2011-12-31 18:25:32 +0000 UTC
She's a good professor and the class isn't too hard as long as you participate although she makes a lot of stuff do at the very end. But she makes you think about things in a different way and I'm glad I took the class.COMM3610 2014-04-05 22:41:09 +0000 UTC
