Professor Davis was an okay teacher. Participation matters, but if you miss a few classes, you certainly won't fall behind. We had 2 papers: 1 was 2-3 pages and had 95.5% mean while the other was 5-7 pages with a 90% mean (so they are pretty straight forward). We also had 2 multiple choice exams: each worth about 22% of the final grade.COMM2304 2024-12-12 02:12:36 +0000 UTC
one of those professors that is very knowledgeable in what they teach but doesn't spark interest in a lot of people. I always really liked her lectures, but I was already interested in the topic. for others not interested, the lectures may not be very interesting. she's also pretty nice, just reserved (which is fine but may not be everyone's fav).COMM2304 2024-11-20 20:38:09 +0000 UTC
Professor Davis only graded by a few major assignments, and she does not believe in 100s. She rarely handed out a 100 on assignments even though she did not have a grading rubric. Everyone tried their best in following the small amount of directions she gave, but she would find a way to deduct points. Her grading scale follows a point system of 500COMM2304 2024-04-24 20:11:08 +0000 UTC
She wasn't the worse professor but, she did not give any feedback on assignments or provide rubrics for major assignments which made it hard to complete according to her expectations. Your grade revolves around 4 major assignments: 1 group project, 1 individual paper, and 2 tests. Lectures are very boring, but participation recquired.COMM2304 2024-04-17 18:33:54 +0000 UTC
Patricia isn't a bad professor, she just doesn't offer good feedback and her lectures are a little boring. No one really paid attention to them and still did well. It's mainly written based and she's an easy grader. Make sure to pick a good topic for the final paper since it's a 12-15 page paper.COMM2304 2022-04-01 20:28:13 +0000 UTC
