Comment:
I have never had a negative experience with a journalism prof before. Her class was by far the worst j class I've ever taken. Hard grader, unhelpful and full of dated info. Her teaching style is "I hope you know everything before my boring lectures." Take editing with a different prof if you can. I wouldn't recommend Carolyn to anyone.

Comment:
Although Carolyn's editing class was difficult, I learned a lot about design, typography, and layout from her. She was a difficult grader sometimes, but she is very intelligent and knowledgeable of the subject. I would recommend her class, but don't expect it to be an easy A class. It was definitely challenging at times.

Comment:
Seriously, she gives ZERO direction, then rips your assignments apart. I put in tons of work into my assignments, and then she grades things that no one who is LEARNING about editing would know to even do. While I think she's a nice person, she's a terrible instructor.

Comment:
The class is very low energy and is tediously boring. She isn't afraid of being openly critical, but is willing to sit down in private to discuss your progress. Very mediocre instructor. The class is an intro to InDesign and the assignments aren't too hard.

Comment:
She makes the class more lively, but it is vague and spacy, just like she is. She makes comments out of the blue and the sentences she comes up with are awkward. Shes a nice lady, but this class is so weird to be in-she flies around everywhere and is hard to follow cause you're too busy watching how weird she is

Comment:
Carolyn is a nice lady, however i think she managed to make everyone in the class feel awkward. at first i though this class would just be a bunch of busy work, but i did actually learn & was a good refresher course on grammar. there are a lot of assignments though. take this class if you dont think you are the best writer or need a refresher.

Comment:
The WORST professor I have been unfortunate enough to meet at WWU. Her teaching style is from the 1940's and she seems hell bent to keep her narrow minded views on everything from design to student lifestyles. Sure, if you do the work you'll get a good grade, but don't ever expect to learn anything from Carolyn Dale.

She is awesome. I really like Carolyn. She will take time to explain things to you. She is a fun teacher. Her comments are helpful and she always points out when you are doing well.

Comment:
Two days into class, and I already get what people mean when they say she's spacy. I seriously wonder if she and Tim Pilgrim just did too many drugs in the 60s. Nice people, don't get me wrong, but a little more structure and focus would be nice.

So spacy! Can't really look at your because she's always just looking around the room and staring into space. Doesn't give helpful feedback.

Comment:
If you do the assignments you won't do too bad in the class, but be prepared to do a bit of work in the lab unless you happen to have InDesign at home. If you don't miss any assignments you should be all right. She doesn't mark down assignments too much.

Does a good enough job and is never in a bad mood. Good enough for me.

She's a very nice lady, but not a very interesting professor, teaching-wise. True, grammar isn't very exciting, but the class was very vague and unstructured.

She's a pretty good teacher, all in all. Very willing to answer any questions, meet with you, or help you out in any way she can. Journalism itself, on the other hand takes a certain type of person to like so that one is subjective.
