Jesica Speed Wiley is an absolute gem as a professor and as a human. She cares deeply about her students and is an amazingly inclusive, welcoming person. She gives plentiful, helpful feedback and does everything she can to help you do better. Her feminism is intersectional and her insight is amazing. I simply cannot recommend her enough.COMM2304 2017-04-16 12:09:54 +0000 UTC
Best professor I've had at Northeastern hands down! Amazing teacher that cares about her students.WMNS2304 2017-04-14 12:24:29 +0000 UTC
Her class is the only class I ever regretted taking. She doesn't really teach. I learned absolutely nothing.COMM1231 2016-09-17 16:10:39 +0000 UTC
Dr. Speed is probably the most intelligent and nicest woman you'll ever meet. Her class is 90% discussion based. You do have to read, but only before you take the quiz. She's a really hard grader, and her quizzes are all short answer. No exams. I really enjoyed her class. Only 3 quizzes and one group project. NO FINAL!COMM3230 2014-11-20 10:58:40 +0000 UTC
She's by far my favorite professor I've had so far. She is interesting, friendly, and engaged with the topics. She is always willing to listen to students' diverse perspectives and encourages you to think about things in ways you never would have thought of on your own. She is a VERY tough grader and assigns a LOT of reading, but its SO worth it.WMNS2304 2016-02-10 12:34:01 +0000 UTC
Probably a nice person but a lazy teacher. Mandatory 40 page readings for each class with a potential quiz. 3 writing components to this course- directions are wordy and confusing. She provides little or no feedback on your work. Was a basic class and if I did not know the general concepts already I would have learned nothingCOMM1231 2016-04-16 17:52:54 +0000 UTC
Straightforward class, a lot of discussion in class so participation and attendance is important. Had her for 8 am and she really engages all the students so I never had to sleep in class because material was interesting and conversation was riveting. She is strict on her rules and grading policies, but as long as you abide by it you'll passCOMM1231 2016-04-14 02:02:09 +0000 UTC
Professor Wiley is an okay professor. She makes her exams way harder than they have to be. Get ready to read. participation matters in this class. Getting an A will not be easy, she definitely makes you work for it.COMM1231 2016-04-07 11:18:55 +0000 UTC
stay away!!! If you're able to take this class with someone else my advice is to take it. The class is mostly discussing the reading assignment in groups, she doesn't teach, so don't expect her to have any PowerPoints ready. Her exams are hard and confusing , attendance is mandatory and three papers (case studies), as well as a group presentation.COMM1231 2015-12-20 19:55:06 +0000 UTC
