This class was a large class over 80+, so she does not take attendance so if you don't show up you could pass, but she does ask questions about the lecture in the exams. There are online quizzes and one exam in class and the final was online. The class was fun to go to an overall very helpful for PR majors.

Dr. Love is a pretty laid back professor but very knowledgable. We met once a week and she only does powerpoint lectures which can get pretty dry, but if you take good notes you wont need the textbook. We only had a few quizzes and exams in this class and HW was extra credit. She also does reviews before an exam so it would be wise not to skip.

I wouldn't necessarily say show up and pass, but shes definitely on the easy side. All you have to do is answer her discussion q ( biweekly) and take her quizzes (biweekly). In class, we have guest speakers-- who are awesome-- and afterward we talk about our disc. q. Def show up to class and do the work-- THEN it's an easy A.

You have discussion papers due every other week, and then quizzes every other week. The class is very straight to the point and heavily discussion based. She brings in amazing people to speak about their jobs and it's very inspiring. I was able to get an interview with one of the guest speakers for my other class paper. She's awesome!!!

Excellent prof, though she may be regarded as boring; coffee is a great a tool to have to stay awake during class. I learned a lot by working hard (read book & PP notes) and passed with D (PR students can) much like Comm 407 with Prof Erickson the hottie (want her to blow me bad) who teaches well and you learn a lot. Both are great.

She seems like a great person, but her class was SOOO BORING! She literally will talk the entire and rarely engage with her class. You do not need the book because her lectures are so dense. If you skip class, you literally will not pass. If you take this class make sure you bring coffee or something.

I enjoyed the way this class was run. There were 3 (curved) exams and 10 quizzes. There are study guides for the exams, which are vague. I found it very difficult to get an A in this class but doable. Attendance is a must, she says things that will be on the exams and slides are vague without notes. Great prof., would take again.

Love is a awesome professor! I've taken her for 2 classes and both were great I learned a lot . She is very knowledgable and understanding of her students. She gives clear instructions on what she expects and brings in guest speakers which landed me an internship!

This is the 3rd class of hers that I've taken, and I really enjoy them. She's very knowledgable not only on the topic, but of the PR world. You HAVE to study for the tests, I learned the hard way. If you're having issues then talk to her. Taking notes is a must, and make a friend! She does study sessions.

Dr. Love has years of PR experience in many different industries. She knows her stuff! Course material comes from the book, but she elaborates in her lectures. You can expect frequent guest lecturers (often covered on the exams). One opinion-based essay and one PR-related written assignment. Two extremely easy exams. Frequent online pop quizzes.

Once a week class and attendance is not mandatory. 3 exams, 1 off campus activity paper worth 2 test grades and 5 online quizzes. Exams are MC and cheat sheet allowed. She gives no study guides so read the book. Exam 2 was online and Exam 3 was in class again with cheat sheet allowed. I suggest you rent or buy the book. Material was very dry overal

She is awesome!!! Can't wait to take her again for another class. Makes the lectures funny. Only has 3 tests. There are "pop quizzes" which she lets you know in class when they are posted online to take. And the off-campus activity is a great thing!

Prof. Love is by far one of the best there is. This is my second time taking her and I wish I could have her for every class. Her lectures are interesting and the time flies. She is to the point, funny, interesting and very well organized. She sets us all up for success. She is so very helpful. Well respected by everyone. Take her!

There is a reason her name is Love... because you will absolutely LOVE her!!! Her lectures are very interesting and fun, her tests are fairly easy, and her passion for communications really shows through her teaching style. I bought the book, but most of the material comes from her PPT slides, so make sure to print them out for class.

I have prof. Love for both comm 361&425. Her 361 class is more interesting& easier than her 425 class. Maybe because I am not interested in history... But her 361 class she allows a cheat sheet and posts the power points online for both classes. She is the best comm prof! Her 425 is a little tough for me though, since its only out of 180 pts.

Dr. Love is awesome. Powerpoints are straight to the point and easy to understand, as well as study guides. Recommend getting the book, it'll help when studying. She provides tons of extra credit opportunities. She does have pop quizzes at the end of class sometimes so be prepared. Overall, awesome professor. Recommend her for sure.

The most interesting class! However, I do love media history and this covers all of it from the beginning of time. Take this class, but please, attend each day because Prof. Love really does want us all to do well and if you go to class, you'll ace it! Study groups and study sessions make for a recipe to get that A! The best instructor I've had!

Dr. Love is such an easy teacher. There is a lot of information but she goes over it thoroughly in class. The tests are very straightforward. I got As on all of them and only studied a few hours before class. She does a review the day before the test and there are also study groups where previous students go over old tests. Easy and I learned a lot

Professor Love is the most wonderful instructor. She is to the point and is very passionate about Public Relations Communications. I wish she taught other classes as I would definitely take her again. She gives every opportunity to do well and get that "A." Go to class because she writes things on the board that are on the tests. Awesome Prof!
