Reviews of professor Michelle Laroche

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor LaRoche is really amazing. She made 382 my favorite class of the semester. She is always open to helping students both in class and beyond. Her lectures are very interesting and she gives clear and easy grading criteria. She has a lot of experience and is very knowledgeable in business journalism, youll learn a lot from her.

Professor LaRoche is the best teacher I have ever had. The last time I took her course I was a dumbass and I never came to class and half tried on all my assignments. I STILL took the class again out of respect for her and how knowledgable she is. The next time I took it, I got an A with flying colors because she helped me every step of the way.

You will come out of this class as a better writer if you really put your head down and do the work. But the professor is really rude and has a certain attitude towards specific story ideas. Some of the assignments in between stories were pointless as well. I would definitely not take her again. It pays to be a kind person, and she is not one.

Mrs. LaRoche was one of the toughest professors I have had during my time at UofSC. She was the best teacher for an introductory journalism writing course and really made me work for every grade I earned. Take her if you really want to learn how to write like a journalist!

This class is a godsend. SO much work but I learned more stuff in this one class about business and finance than I did in classes I took at Darla Moore. She is amazing.

You have to take it if you're a journalism major, you'll just be miserable.

Professor Laroche is one of the best professors I've ever had. The class is hard and you have to work to get a good grade but she will help you every step of the way. She's easy to talk to and really cares about all of her student's success. She's also clearly very accomplished and knows a lot about journalism. Take her and learn some great skills.

Michelle is one of the best professors in the J-school! She taught the course in a way that was easy for J-school students to understand. She is very organized and consistent so the course is easy to keep up with. The most important thing to know- she cares about her students. She will do anything to engage her students! I will be taking her again!
