Reviews of professor Marcie Young Cancio

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lots of lectures. Not a lot of feedback. It was a ton of work for absolutely nothing. It needed to be more hands on.

Marcie is a great professor! If you're interested in journalism or reporting I highly recommend taking one of Marcie's classes. Your work can be published by the tribune, which is great for scholarships,if you take this class. And Marcie definitely wants to help students out. I couldn't afford a headset for my internship and she let me borrow hers!

This was my second class with Prof Cancio and it didn't disappoint. The new writing class was much harder than comm 1500 but both were really good. I enjoy this teacher. She is passionate about journalism and I learned lots about writing and reporting. She's definitely a tough grader but it's clear she wants you to do well and improve.

The class was fine. She is a good enough lecturer. It does ffel like she wants to go back into the industry. She didn't seem to enjoy class. She was generally late to class.

She is a very qualified teacher and her lessons are very informational. I took the class online and the modules were very easy to navigate and the expectations were clear. She doesn't give a ton of feedback but does grade stuff in a timely manner.

I have taken many classes from Professor Cancio. This was a special projects course, be prepared to work hard & put on your A-game. Students produced radio segments on KRCL. She has a lot of industry experience and brings that knowledge to the classroom. If you put in the work she will grade fair & give feedback you can utilize. She's excellent

This class was hard but mostly because it was learning a new way of writing I had never done. Once you get trained up on how to write like a journalist, things start to fall into place. I'm not sure thing kind of writing is for me, but I liked learning how to do it and I liked Marcie. She's tough but fair and obviously cares about students.

Super easy for a summer class.  3 big writing assignments about 3 or 4 small ones.  Weekly quiz and discussions.  Great class if working full time.  Replies to emails fast.  Relatively quick grader.

Very clear instructions, there is quite a bit of work, but I learned SO MUCH. I thought this class would be boring, but somehow it was actually really interesting. She is very easy to get ahold of and gives good feedback on all assignments. Make sure you stay up on work or you'll get overwhelmed really quickly. I liked this class/professor.

There's a weekly quiz, and a discussion or writing assignment every other week. The quiz answers come straight from the textbook, and the discussion and writing assignments have clear guidelines you can follow to get an A. Only criticism is that she doesn't give good feedback. It seemed like she copy and pasted the same response every assignment.
