Nance is absolutely fantastic. She's a super caring teacher, so much fun to talk to, very understanding, but also helps you to learn to value different things. She helped me so much to really understand what I was learning, making sure we get the most out of our education.

Dr. McCown is one of the nicest profs I have ever had & she really is a great teacher as well. She truly cares about her students & she makes each class super fun & easy. She made sure each student knew she was always there for them, & she also was always open to go over class material. Wasn't a hard class & was an easy way to meet other students

Nance McCown was a great professor who genuinely cared about her students. Tests involved a lot of memorization but they weren't difficult if you studied. She assigned presentations and expected you to work really hard on the things she specifically taught, so she was a tough grader in that respect. But I loved her. Brought candy sometimes :)

I took her class as a free elective to develop writing skills and got what I asked for. She expects a lot from her students, but that's how we learned. The class convinced me to pick up a Public Relations minor.

I really liked Dr. McCown this semester. The class, like most, is what you make out of it. She is very clear on what she expects and the workload is not too difficult. Study terms/concepts you learned for the exams. Follow the guidelines she has for the speeches and you will do fine. She makes class fun, which is a big plus.

McCown is such a wonderful lady. She is so nice and always has energy which is great when you have her really early. She is also my adviser and she is really helpful. Make sure you get the book though because it'll be really helpful for the tests.

Dr. McCown really wasn't hard at all if you just go to class. She's pretty cool too. She let one student write a rap song in place of writing an essay (search Caucasian Persuasion on youtube). Overall we only had to give 2 speeches, and only one of them was an individual speech.

Dr. McCown was an excellent prof! I wasn't really interested in comm, but she made it an interesting class and genuinely cares about her students. There wasn't a ton of work for the class and it was easy work. She is a very engaging and interesting professor!

She exemplifies excellent teaching. I highly recommend taking her class. Although you will probably write more for her than for the other instructors, having her as a teacher and friend will be worth it. Words cannot express how much I appreciate her.

Dr. McCown is one of the most influential professors of my undergraduate experience. She is invested in her students, uses real-life and real-time applications to further promote course material, and challenges each student to enhance their communication skills. She has my vote for best professor at Messiah College.

Dr. McCown is the best professor that I have had. Taking her class encouraged me to change my major to Communication. She is clear and friendly. Even an early morning class is fun with her. She always makes time for her students, even outside of class.

If you hate public speaking, then take this class! She works hard to help everyone get to know one another so you aren't so nervous doing your speech. And you only do one individual speech and one group speech. She's tough on grading papers but she's very fair. And she loves Jesus!

Probably one of the best professors here...it's not a terribly easy course but I definitely found it enjoyable. Tough grader on writing (but for good reason) and be sure to study for tests. Good grades aren't easy but absolutely doable. I love McCown!!

Best teacher I've had at Messiah. Really changed my views on PR and is very passionate. Tough grader on your writing, but it helps you. Definitely take her if you're considering going into PR because she knows it so well.

An ungodly amount of work for a Gen. Ed. class. Lots of energy and cares a lot about her students, but is extremely critical of anything you write (which you will do A LOT of). I had her at 9a.m., and she was on her 3rd bottle of Coke by that time every morning.
