Comment:
Dr. Wanzer is great! My favorite thing about her is the amount of feedback she gives on papers. Usually, your grade is a mystery but she takes the time to go and leave a large paragraph of feedback which shows that she really cares. She is easy to reach out of class and will often give you extensions on assignments if you email her.

I don't understand the hype around Wanzer. All of her classes are just lectures, and right when you're in the zone, BAM!!! A 1000 decibel level song starts playing on each slide to let you know that there's no hope of you passing.

She is one of the best professors I have taken. Attendance is not mandatory, however if you want a good grade, go to class. There is 1 paper and 3 exams (one is the final). She gives study guides for each, and if you do them, you should get an A on the exam. The class was enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone because it's an amazing class

Dr. wanzer is a great professor. Her class lectures are above and beyond class lectures I have had in any class. Super interesting to listen to! You definitely have to read and put in work to achieve a grade you want, however, she gives out study guides, and is available outside of class often. She helped look at my draft of my paper several times.

Wanzer is easy to respect and cares a lot about her students and work. You need to go to class and participate (it's a communication class) but she makes class fun with her power points, videos and humor. You need to study thoroughly for her tests but it's worth it because the content is interesting. One research paper which she helps you with!

I ADORE Dr. Wanzer. Her class is very enjoyable. 3 exams all semester, including the final. If you study you will for sure get an A. Never any homework (aside from final paper) unless she cancels class. She cares about all of her students & is always willing to meet during her office hours. She is easily my favorite professor at Canisius.

Comment:
Humor was a class that I was terrified to take at first. Instead of the final exam you can elect to do a 5 minute stand-up routine. Dr. Wanzer insisted that it was a fun experience and that everyone would be funny. I have to admit she was right, it was such an amazing experience and it really helped me get through final exam week. Highly recommend.

Although I was in Dr. Wanzer's Griff 101 class, it is obvious that she is an amazing professor who takes a personal interest in every one of her students. She is absolutely hysterical and can make you smile even on your worst days

Most helpful prof I've had. She just sat and talked to me about my issues with school, life, relationships, anything I needed she was there for me. The nicest person I've met at college and I cannot wait to talk to her again. If you ever have the opportunity to take a class with her, TAKE IT!!

The best professor at Canisius,easily. She is an amazing teacher and you actually learn in her class and can use the material in life that she teaches you. She was one of the reasons I decided to become a Communications major. Everyone should take at least one class with her. AMAZING

Best professor I have ever had. Wish she could be my professor for every class. People say exams are hard, but I beg to differ. She gives you review sheet. Everything on there, you need to know. Never got below a 95 on her exams. Easy A if you study those review sheets. Love her. Take her.

LOVE WANZER. The only problem I had was that the only grades we had were 2 tests, a final, and a research paper. But shes very funny and makes class enjoyable. If you are having problems with the materials or your grade, she's very easy to talk to. Best professor I've had yet!

Hilariously funny professor, who knows how to keep a class interesting. I took a 3x a week, 2.5 hour class with her during the summer, and I actually didn't mind getting up at 7:45 to go to school in the middle of July for her class. I would recommend her to anyone- she's a great teacher!
