Comment:

Dr. Huffman is very strict on what she wants. There are only 4 grades in the grade book- attendance is one. I missed one class and it dropped me from an A- to a B+. Kinda ridiculous that missing one class (we're in college, right?) can do that. Overall, not a difficult class is you stay on top of your projects. DON'T buy the textbooks.

Huffman is odd. She comes off as sassy at times, but the class is great if you like journalism. Stay on top of your projects and you will manage an A. Great class, great teacher.

Comment:

I'm reading these comments and laughing. I had Dr. Huffman at SMU and she was excellent. Laid back, but professional, always on top of her game. Helpful, witty and an excellent adviser. She's not supposed to spoon-feed you. She's a college professor. TCU is lucky to have her.

Comment:

For Radio/TV Newswriting - DO NOT BUY THE BOOKS. Learned that the hard way. The books are NEVER used. She's a great teacher, though. Just remember her tips about certain reporting/writing elements. They can really cost you in the end. Best part was that the semester basically ended by Thanksgiving, and attendance was no longer "taken."

Learn her pet peeves fast and live by them! I just didn't like her as a person or prof & was always irritated when I left her class. She ran out of things to teach us by the 3rd week. Some classes were only 10 min long, but still mandatory. She's a pain in the butt, but if you can stand her it's not a hard class. Don't need the textbooks! At all!

do not say girl or boy when referring to someone >18 or you will PARISH! also get her name right and read the syllabus b/c she puts due dates in there and says nothing about it in class. Stubborn and strict, but easy and informative class.

Comment:

Dr. Huffman isn't so bad once the semester goes on. She shows you how to do the anchor scripts, so don't be overwhelmed. Also, there is no final in this class. There is a final project which she helps you write/edit. We didn't even use the book and we didn't meet the last day of class. Just put up with her for the first few weeks and you'll make it

Comment:

Unfortunately she is the only one who teaches the class. She is not very patient with the students. She acts nice, but if you ask her a question she tells you to look at her syllabus (which she lives by). Also, make sure you call her Dr. Huffman, she is real picky about that. Make sure you refer to the syllabus for everything you do in the class.

Took her last semester against the advice of others. She doesn't seem to take kindly to students who aren't willing to kiss her a*s, although she's FAR from intimidating, as some reviews suggest. The ability for a professor to relate to their students impresses me slightly more. Sadly, that isn't among the "qualities" listed on her syllabus.

I took Issues in Broadcast with her this semester and I have taken a class with her before. It is true that attendance in mandatory but it is a small price to be paid for making an A. She is an easy grader and very approachable. True do not get intimidated by her becuase there is nothing intimidating about her. Take her class, you will thank me =)

Comment:

Cold woman with a pride problem. I was hospitalized for a couple weeks during the semester and she was horrible. Dropped me a letter grade because of absences though I had a doctor's note. On her tests she will ask you to write her name, if you neglect to put "Dr." she will neglect to give you credit. She can be easy but never again for me.

Comment:

She's pretty intimidating but you learn a lot. She's tough on grading broadcast projects and standups but you really learn how to do them correctly. The final is a paper and pretty easy, no other tests/quizzes. Lots of round-table discussion. Be there becuase she takes off 10pts of each time you're absent, I went from having a B to a C for missing.

Comment:

She is freakishly proud that she has DR. in front of her name and is vocal about not being a fan of smoking. Attendence is big, I missed 2 quizies b/c i was in the hospital and she dropped me a letter grade. Not the biggest fan but it is easy enough to get by.

Getting the tests from the previous year did help on the first test but after that nothing was the same and she takes such random pieces of information from the text that it's impossible. I heard it was an easy A but it's not anymore...a ridiculous class to make a B in...for the amount of time I put into this class I deserved an A.

She might come on strong, but the lady knows what she is talking about. Listen to what she says. Ask help if you don't understand. Keep stories conversational and you will be fine. Not much left to say. Take the class and enjoy it.
