Reviews of professor Kate Sweeney

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Sweeney has REAL experience and she's a really nice person. I felt like she really cared about me . The class is a lot of work and Her standards are high but you can get a good grade if you try because she gets that you are learning. She gives lots of feedback on projects. You'll work hard, but it's worth it. Take this professor. She's real.

Professor Sweeny is hands down the best professor I have had at Mason. She genuinely cares about each of her students and is passionate about what she does. She provides lots of feedback on every assignment so you can do well when rewriting for your final portfolio. I would absolutely recommend her class and I hope to have her again!

Prof Sweeney was just awesome, even in an online setting due to COVID. This class should be in person if you take it again, but I can't help but highly recommend this class. Incredibly interesting and helped loads with my writing and my view of the news.

Professor Sweeney is such a great Professor. Im very shy and I never thought I would get up in front of a class to present a speech. Shes very caring and she will do anything to work with you. She makes it very clear to get an A. She doesnt make the class boring. Shes just well rounded and awesome

Kate is a very caring professor! She genuinely wants her students to do well. She understands not everyone is a journalism or writing expert so she grades generously on first drafts. Shes awesome!! I recommend taking her if you can. Her assignments can come off as stressful but theyre actually kind of fun and resourceful.

I absolutely love Prof Kate and her class. her classes were both fun and informative and were a combination of short lectures and a lot of videos. The assignments were fairly easy and mostly done in class and she always gave really helpful feedback.

An awesome professor who is really invested in her students. She tries to teach this course to prep students for being professionals in the field. The assignments in the class are mostly writing articles.

Best, most caring professor I have ever had. Dedicated so much time to giving actual productive feedback on all assignments. Really engaged with students and replied to everything, even simple discussion board posts. Personalized feel to everything- not just "ok next." Learned a tremendous amount from this class and would recommend her to anyone!!!
