Reviews of professor David Mindich

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class was really interesting and honestly the workload isn't too bad. As long as you do the reading and listen in class you're fine. Projects/essays aren't as difficult as explained and Mindich is nice with extension. Also the book we use(one he wrote)you don't have to buy (it's online) and he gives the profits away. Overall great class.

I liked him. He had interesting lectures. He's taught me a lot, and the workload really isn't bad unless you make it to be. If you stay on top of it, you'll be fine. I never felt overwhelmed with the assignments he gave. His book we had to purchase/rent was awesome. I loved reading it. In my opinion, he is a great professor! Wants you to do well.

very long textbook chapters, pop quizzes about textbook reading and current events, lectures are uninteresting and I found myself often dissatisfied because the class is more about the history of media than journalism, the final paper rubric is the most confusing thing I've ever read and probably killed several of my brain cells

I think professor Mindich is trying to be a nice guy and professor, but he gives wayyy too much work for an intro level class. I was undecided freshman year when I took intro to journalism, and this class completely pushed me away from being a journalism major or anything close to it. I would probably stay away unless this class is required.

Mindich is a really respectful and informative professor. Students are able to express their opinions whenever, and he's always interested in listening and learning. He does make you read about 20-40 pages of the textbook for each class, but that is usually the only homework he assigns throughout the week, so it honestly isn't bad.

David is a cool dude; he's accessible outside of class and will never make you feel like you're asking a stupid question, even if you are. There's pop quizzes that are lowkey hard but the class is cool enough and it's required anyway so you might as well take him. He likes participation, and even though it isn't required it makes class interesting.
