Reviews of professor heather shea smith

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I just don't understand how this class is so difficult for no reason it is literally a basic communication studies class but the margins for error are extremely slim. Her quizzes are extremely difficult and you can not miss a SINGLE class EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN APPROVED EXCUSE! Trust me do NOT take this class.

The grade comes from 3 presentations, daily attendance, and 6 quizzes (lowest quiz gets dropped). Attendance is mandatory, you get a point for every day of class. Almost every class period involves group discussions. Not a difficult class at all, just aggravating if you're not a fan of presentations or group work.

Shea was kind and understanding. Before taking her, know that attendance IS MANDATORY! Chapter quizzes are easy if you study the textbook/lectures. NO TESTS! (: You'll have to write a couple papers, but she doesn't grade on grammar, just content/overall ideas. I got an A+, but had to put in more effort for it than I expected when signing up.

Shea was a very nice teacher from the beginning she told us what she was expecting us to do to pass this class. There is an attendance grade so you have to come to class. There are 3 performances, you have to be fully memorized during the workshop and the performance day for full points. You have to step out of your comfort zone so be ready.

Shea is one of the best professors to ever step foot in an LSU classroom. She found a free textbook. She encouraged making friends in the class. She did everything in her power to make sure that her students were comfortable and could easily pass. Also her exams are incredibly easy. Take her if you want an easy A and an enjoyable class.

Professor Shea is kind and her class isn't hard, you just HAVE to go to class and do all the work on time. attendance is worth nearly 50% of our grade. Group projects and presentations frequently. I would take again if I had to.

Very good professor. Super nice and understanding, and very clear and communicative of what she expects. Grades a little tough, but gives plenty of opportunity to get an A.
