Worst professor you could imagine. Impossible to reach and when you do, extremely unhelpful. Very condescending. Gives no instruction on assignments and is very unclear.

Hands down the most confusing course I have ever taken. The professor did a poor job at explaining the course material and to make matters worse the syllabus was disorganized and riddled with spelling mistakes. The final project is a joke and you will get minimal help from her. She also does not grade work untill the end of the semester.��

Comment:
Worst teacher ive ever had. Doesnt communicate whatsoever. Almost feels as though she is going out of her way for me to do poorly in her class. Has no empathy and takes no responsibility for her own mistakes. Makes me want to transfer schools because how awful she is. So unhealthy for mental health and she has no sympathy/flexibility with covid.

At the VERY end of most classes, she'll pop in a quick, "poster due by next class on chapters 12 and 13" and never mention it or email it. Even if you do go to class, it's so easy to miss assignments like this. You won't know your grade until the end of the semester. She's the most unprofessional instructor I have had.

This professor gave me a lot of help during a difficult time. I passed because she motivated me and explained a lot.

Toughest class Ive taken yet. Exams are very hard and she is a very tough grader. Only thing I will give her is the stories she tells during lectures can be somewhat interesting. Must do the readings and take good notes. Study the cases

If you're given a choice, never take a class with her. Certainly not this one. The material really isn't that difficult, but she is so demanding and even so intimidating that it's possible to get overwhelmed and do very poorly. If you can look past her disproportionately high standards, you'll be fine, just expect a heavy workload, and BE PREPARED.

NEVER responds to any emails, expects kids with tons of other classwork AND part time jobs to ONLY focus solely on her class, extensive/ridiculous amounts of homework/reading, will not take a class with her ever again.

Martha expects us to do way more work than a full 5 course class load student can handle. Hundreds of pages of reading per week on top of a different book used for writing a book report. At least 4 worksheets due every week, and expects us to finish the long, dry chapters in a few days. She calls on random kids in class, so read the material.

Easily the worst class I have taken here so far. The class is college level difficulty, but it's structured like a high school course. You're left completely in the dark about what your grade is the whole way through. Acts like her class is the only class worth worrying about. Group project is long and somewhat hard. Strange attendance system. Bad!

Great teacher and mentor. If you like law ,you will love her real life stories. She uses a biz plan to connect the dot and fun extra credit field trips.

Okay professor, pretty nice. Lecture is necessary, but is mostly made up of personal experience stories and supplementary information. You need to read the textbook if you want to do well on the exams. She does offer some extra credit material. The Business Plan is time consuming, but relatively easy, will get a good grade if you put in effort.

Mrs. Broderick was so good at explaining some crazy cases. I loved her. She was always there to talk to before an dafter class. She did tell us what she wanted and I felt reassured regularly by the homework.

Professor Broderick truly cares for her students. She has high expectations, but truly cares for her students and wants you to do well. If something happens keep her updated she will go above and beyond to assist with anything she can.

Media Law was one of the worst courses I have ever taken at this school. The class was the biggest waste of time and full of arbitrary comments and useless jabber. I feel bad for BUA students who are required to take courses with her for their major. The woman just can't teach. I'm not some "bad student" complaining either; I have a 3.7 GPA.

By far the worst professor and class experience I have had at UMaine. Had an honest interest in the subject matter but her lectures were unbearable, nothing but irritating rambling. She seriously never shuts up, even when she gave us an in class writing assignment she didn't stop to take a breath. Her attendance using assigned seats is ridiculous

Comment:
Although lectures are mandatory (if you miss more than 4 she fails you) you will learn almost nothing from attending them. I can honestly think of maybe one or two lectures where I learned something of value. She obviously loves the subject she teaches, but teaching is not her strong suit. If you can, take BUA 220 with another professor.

Comment:
Classes are rarely worth attending, she just touches upon the major points in the reading, not really clarifying or expanding on the ideas. The final paper was mentioned many times but no official guidelines or rubric were ever handed out, and the final date changed from the 23rd (in the syllabus) to the 20th with an option to request an extension.
