Great hands on professor. Class is fairly difficult, especially with the group projects, but you can tell she cares about her students. She's always there for you if reach out to her, and she'll always be glad to help. However, she will make you work for your grade.

Ms. Dixon-Brown is an amazing professor. She is super kind, and probably one of the best professors I have had. Make sure to participate and do your weekly assignments. Even if this class does not pertain to your major, it's interesting for our day to day life!

omg, this class is a lot of work. We had to do Pearson activities (Short Quizzes, Chapter Quiz, etc.) and then either write a 2-page single-spaced journal or a discussion post. We also have a final exam and a 5 page single-spaced paper. I know it's a writing-intensive course, but it was just too much. She gives good feedback, though.

I really enjoyed taking Interpersonal Communications online. She is super sweet and caring, and her online lectures are very professional and well put together. The class consisted of quizzes each module and either a discussion post or journal entry and a final. She provides great feedback on all of your assignments so take her if you can!

Mrs Dixon-Brown was a great professor! I took her online Organizational Politics class. Her online lectures were clear, concise, and helpful. I also thought the topics were interesting and applicable to the working world. She gives clear instructions on what she is looking for and expects. With that said, you get the grade you work for so.

Dr. Brown does a great job with online classes. Interpersonal comm was oddly interesting and the topics in the journal & discussion boards are awesome. Very reasonable. If you forget 1 assignment you can drop a whole letter grade, don't learn that the hard way. No late work accepted. 1 quiz and 1 journal or discussion forum a week due on Fridays.

Professor is nice and understanding. Expect a pretty full (but bearable) work load, but she gives great feedback and makes the class fairly interesting.

I was a little skeptical to take an online communications course, but I was pleasantly surprised. Every week there is a chapter reading and quiz on pearson revel, and either a journal prompt or a discussion board to respond to. There are also several extra credit opportunities. As long as you read the chapters and do the work, you'll do fine.

Extremely tough grader. When doing essays be aware of the rubric and follow directions carefully. No exams were taken but there were 3 presentations that count as big as an exam would. She is a very nice lady who cares for her students.

She's a good professor, but definitely don't take her if you're just looking for an easy A. She definitely makes you work for it. The tests aren't easy and the projects require a good amount of effort.

READ THE CHAPTERS! her lectures are heavy from the book. She is big on punctuality, so show up on time and be ready when the class starts. if you show up after attendance, you are absent. The exams were a bit of a struggle, as there is a ton of info covered. She gives plenty of extra credit. the speeches are given with loads of time to prep

This class was awesome! She sent our weekly assignments in an email every Saturday morning which included: reading one chapter, an online lecture for that chapter, a quiz, and a forum post. Took an hour and a half each week tops! As long as you do the forum post and respond to someone, you'll get a 100.

I was a little apprehensive taking an online "communications" class, but I am so glad I did. She kept chapters short and simple and quizzes were straightforward. Definitely recommend!

She is a great individual and person but has questionable teaching tactics in my eyes. 7pt scale, tough grader with no explanation when things are wrong (makes it hard to know where to improve) some goals of this class seemed unrealistic and a waste of time. Other than that is was fun. She is the only BCOMM teacher that does a group project.

Melody put in the effort for our online class. There are weekly quizzes with either a journal or a forum post. She grades everything within a week and also adds feedback. She is positive and makes the class enjoyable. I have never taken an online course I've liked but she changed that.

Professor Dixon is a great teacher, but she is a tough grader. She grades on a 7 pt. scale, so she expects a lot from you. Don't procrastinate on anything. Seriously. Your grades will reflect it, and don't be late to class. If you put forth the effort and do the work, you'll learn a lot. Earning an A isn't too difficult.

Sweet lady! Easy online course, quizes every week and either a journal or forum post every other week. Yes you have work to do, and there's a time consuming final essay, but I enjoyed it.

Comment:

This teacher is the worst one I've had in the Comm Department so far. Her practice tests online are super easy and then when you get the in class quiz, they are much harder. This course is only two credits and she makes it way harder than it should be. Impossible to get an A.
