Media law gets a bad reputation, but Dr. Reid makes the class fun. She provides a lot of memorable snippets that will help you on the exam and in your life as you come across these topics.

Tough course with a LOT of material that goes by kind of fast, but she lays out the info really well! The quizzes/discussion posts are helpful and the midterms+final are open note and not too difficult if you study. She offered us extra credit as well.

Literally, stop what you're doing and sign up for this class. Dr. Reid is an extraordinary professor who is passionate and funny in lectures. She is so smart and does an amazing job of drilling information into your head without it ever being dull. Her class is so entertaining and she really encourages participation and discussion about the law.

Love her, don't love the class as much, but I didn't hate the class! It was a hard class, but it was doable. It's hard to keep up, but Dr. Reid makes it clear on DAY ONE that she can only help you so much unless you help yourself; You have to meet her halfway with things. Lectures are just half the battle. Finding a good Quizlet will get you far!

Dr. Reid is easily the best professor I've had in my three years at UNC. She makes clear the exact material you need to know and does an incredible job of explaining all concepts so that they are easy to understand without any prior study of media law.

Dr. Reid is wonderful. Her class is hard, don't get me wrong, but she genuinely cares about her students and will help you succeed if you work for it. Media law is known to be a tough class, but Dr. Reid's lectures are engaging and as long as you study for her exams, you'll be fine. Definitely recommend.

Dr. Reid is AMAZING!!! Media Law is hard but she makes everything much much better. Lecture is super organized and detailed; lots of useful resources in understanding this subject; if you read textbooks, attend lectures and just pay attention, study for the exam, you cannot have a bad grade because she is also a very fair grader.

Dr. Reid was great. Provided tons of resources to help study. Sakai site is well designed. Lectures were recorded and slides are posted. Super accessible through email and office hours. Material is hard and complex but if you just put some effort towards the class you'll be fine.
