Reviews of professor Canessa Collins

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's really not that bad. The class itself is hard bc of the long IMC project but she grades fairly. She's accessible outside of class and you can tell she cares about her students. Exams aren't bad if you study her powerpoints since she doesn't really lecture, and she drops your worst grade. It is time consuming, but talk to her and youll be okay

She grew on me throughout the semester to be honest. You really do have to teach yourself the material for the exams because she doesn't really lecture and brings in guest speakers all the time. The group project is a lot of work and the deliverables were time consuming. Can be a fun class if you like to do stuff on Canva.

She honestly is a bad professor. This class has potential to be an amazing, hands-on learning experience and she ruins it. Never gives enough time for in class work then gets angry for it being poor quality, ppts are hundreds of slides long, and DOES NOT teach in class. This turned out to be such a disappointment which sucks bc she's nice

Everything she says could be Googled or is straight from the textbook, and she reads the slides word for word. She manages to take an advertising class that could be interesting and engaging and turns it into a chore. Also, since she's out of touch and not confident in the material, the slides are EXTREMELY LONG. Nice enough, clearly confused.

reads directly off slides, never gives time in class to finish assignment and makes it hw. assigns 3-4 assignments per week on top of the semester-long group project you're doing. gives little to no guidance on assignments and project. hardly teaches in class and rushes through lectures and then expects you to learn everything outside of class.

Collins is a great person and is so kind. She might be a hard grader, but just look over the power points on your own time before the tests because she won't really teach the material in class. IMC plan is rough no matter what teacher, so you might as well take it with someone as nice and lax as her.

She's a very nice lady and she definitely cares about you as an individual. However, just know that if you take this class with her you WILL be teaching yourself all of the material through MH Connect. The group project is time consuming, but it's do-able as long as you stay on top of it. She's a great person, but not a good professor unfortunately

Prof Collins clearly cares about her students and wants everyone to do well! There's lots of reading though. She doesn't really lecture so just learn the main concepts discussed in the textbook to study for the test and you will be fine
