Reviews of professor Chad Whittle

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Class focuses on the journalism aspect of mass com so if you are in any other concentration, you will not get a lot out of it and material is pretty elementary level. He is super big on attendance and will grade papers based on it. He does lectures then quizzes on it the next class. Lots papers that aren't beneficial unless you're in journalism.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Easiest A if you go to class. He does "pop attendance." So if you're there, you get a 100 for the day. You write like a 1 page paper every week, but he barely grades them. You only need the Taking Sides book. On Fridays, you watch a movie the whole class. I often did other homework in his class. Nice quirky guy. Pretty knowledgeable.

Attendance is mandatory, lecture in the beginning of the week and quiz on lockdown browser at the end of each week. We wrote 4-5 papers during the semester which I didn't think was too many for a writing class. He has good experience in media and gave us experience writing for different types of media. I learned a lot about writing in this course.

Clear assignments, due dates stay the same every week. Repetitive but easy work, about 20-40 minutes a week to complete all homework. Test can be cheated on in lower level class and quizlets exist. Recommend still reading the textbook, if you comprehend that the quizzes are all easy.

Super easy homework as long as you do the assignments. Lectures in the beginning of the week and quiz on each chapter at the end of the week. He does use lockdown browser for in class quizzes but they aren't super hard. Attendance is mandatory. He's a funny guy, I recommend this class but the final did lower my grade unexpectedly.
