Reviews of professor Arienne Ferchaud

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Long lectures, but usually interesting. Gave extra credit at the end of the term for completing bonus sona research hours, which bumped my grade a good amount. Assigned one week to do collaborative notes in class and there's three exams which were actually much harder than I thought they would be, even if you took good notes (but they're passable).

She really isn't that bad of a professor, there's just so few grades. She's not friendly when it comes to attendance or asking questions outside of class. We're only graded on 3 tests, SONA credit, and attendance. Attendance is worth 15% of your grade and she uses TopHat to manage that. If you don't pass a test you will probably not pass the class

I have this class right now. Dr. Ferchaud is a very nice professor, but powerpoint HEAVY. Only graded by three exams, participation credit, and SONA credits. If you fail one exam, you'll probably fail the class. No extra credit either. Take a lot of notes when she's speaking as powerpoint do not always reflect questions on exams.

Lecture heavy course with 3 non-cumulative exams, a discussion post each week, and a media literacy project paper. Prof Ferchaud is very relatable and tries to make her lectures relevant and engaging! As long as you complete all assignments and pay attention to lectures, this should be an easy A course

Grade is based solely on exams, SONA credit, collaborative notes, and attendance. Attendance is a requirement because of TopHat. She is not a bad teacher, I just don't think there are many opportunities to up your grade if you fall behind in any category. Lecture heavy and uploads powerpoints with student-made notes but not helpful for studying.

I definitely recommend anyone to take Social Media Campaigns with Dr. Ferchaud! The class is mostly discussion based and you get a good amount of group work days. Dr. Ferchaud is a really laid back, chill, and funny professor and she really lays things out clearly. Best class I have ever taken!

Dr. Ferchaud is very professional and passionate about her class. She is very clear on whats expected and is very fair when it comes to grading. I would highly recommend any course that she is teaching and I myself would have her as an instructor in a heartbeat. If you are reading this TAKE HER CLASS, you will not be disappointed.

Her lectures are fascinating. Very few grades in the class. Top Hat, 3 exams, SONA credit, and two group notes.
As long as you attend lectures and take decent notes you will be fine.
