Reviews of professor Candace Fitch

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
While I enjoyed the material itself very much, the professor was the worst communicator that I have ever had. The only assignment that she graded herself was the final project. The TAs grade everything except the final so their feedback throughout the semester did not help in the end since it seems she doesn't communicate with them either.

I LOVE prof Fitch. She really cares about her students and is the first prof. I ever had that changed due dates and asked students opinions if assignments could get done in time. There is a group project that is semester long so chose wisely. Attendance isn't mandatory but helps and she's funny so its not terrible.

I enjoyed her lectures, however she was really bad at grading things in a timely matter. There are 6 main assignments, a few quizzes, and one group project. The group project kind of sprung up at the end, but we ended up doing good on it. As long as you pay attention in class the quizzes are relatively easy. No exams or final, just a final project.

Pretty cool class, the whole semester is assignments that lead up to and help with the big final project. There's only 3 quizzes but they're super straightforward from the notes and no tests or finals. Super interesting class if you're interested in event planning. Prof Fitch is just very difficult to reach outside of class, so get your TAs email!

Fitch is one of the best professors at VT! If you need this class for HTM or just credit it's the easiest thing you will ever do. She is hilarious, engaging, passionate about her field, and is a great resource for future jobs. Quizzes are on Canvas weekly (open note), attendance is a majority of the points and a weekly discussion on canvas. TAKE IT

The work load was very manageable and exams were taken at home on canvas. Only con was that she takes weeks to grade assignments. Make sure you read the assignment rubrics as it has stuff not stated in the assignment that are required. Overall Fitch is a very understanding and caring professor

Big project is planning an event. If you actually want to be an event planner in life (or anything in hospitality), the project was pertinent and useful. If you don't, it's a lot of work all for nothing. Online quizzes are easy if you pay attention and weekly discussions aren't hard. She takes attendance.

Fitch is the type of professor you want for an elective class (like I was taking this class as). She is really nice and straight to the point. There are a lot of assignments and discussion boards but they do not take long to do. In my class we has no exams, only 50 point quizzes. Attendance is super important for your grade but good class overall.
