Comment:
Dr. Hoy's class if tough, but it's well organized and is really up to your group how hard it is. I don't like how dependent your grade is on other students because the whole class is one group project. Chose your team members wisely and don't get behind.

Although she is very caring and willing to work with you, this class depends on mostly group work to make up your grade with a semester long project. If your group is not doing well, all you have to make up for it are homework and the two exams. Also, if your group is not doing well, its clear that you either do all of the work yourself or fail.

I took her for campaigns and out of all my advertising classes which I have never performed poorly in this was by far the worst ever. It was never clear what she wanted from our team, she was not helpful at all, and in a way I believe that we were set up for failure. Worst class I have ever taken and by far one of the worst professors I have had.

Very hard class that demands an insane amount of time and attention to detail. She grades comparatively amongst students. With the amount of information I learned I would say her class isn't worth the effort.

Dr. Hoy appreciates anyone that is in the box. If you have no opinion of your own then you will have no problem taking her class. If you are a thinking, conceptual person, RUN!

Dr. Hoy is AWESOME. The class is very time consuming and demands alot, but she is definitely engaged in each group's work as long as you let her be. She knows what she is talking about and has a true passion for what she teaches. Ive heard she is more demanding than Childers about what is expected but I wouldnt go back and change teachers.

Comment:
I don't understand why everyone is raving about her. It's like she wanted to see her students fail. She was not helpful at all when I went to her for help and was very prudish with her replies. Her lectures were mind-numbing and horrible. I really did not enjoy her and she has made me seriously rethink my major.

Dr. Hoy expects the best from you, but she is extremely helpful.She really does drop you in the water head first in the beg. of the semester, but you learn fast. Sometimes her expectations are not always clear on specifics (sometimes she didn't tell us to change something, then we later got counted off for it). Expect no social life for this class

Dr.Hoy is a true asset to the Communications department. She believes in hard work and you will work hard, but she genuinely cares about all her students. She's different than most professors--she knows your name and wants you to succeed. Undoubtedly, one of my best professors.
