Reviews of professor Elizabeth Slovic

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of the most closed-minded professors I have ever met. A lot of interesting topic discussions however it's very hard to discuss anything but her viewpoint. She also makes her political stance VERY obvious, which usually doesn't bother me. If you would actually like to learn about REAL journalism, I suggest don't take this class. Easy A though

This class was way too hard for a 101 class. Throughout the quarter she makes you report on 4 news stories. The first 2 you are given the information but the last 2 she makes you go to events and talk to people and she is very inconsiderate of your time. When you need to talk to her, she acts bothered and doesn't help.

I had a good time once I started to get a hang of the content and what was required. Professor Slovic is incredibly nice and responds to emails quickly. Her grading is hard but the criteria are written clearly and she gives good feedback. Make sure you have the time for this class or else you won't get the most out of it!

Great professor. Always responds to emails and open for any zoom meetings.

The (online) textbook is free and woven into the assignments. Understands journalism isn't how it should be right now but upholds the highest ethical standards. Gets into the difference between English writing and journalistic writing. Be ready to have AP Style rules drilled into your head; you'll need them.

Can't recommend her enough! She was super fun, although there is work you need to put in, more specifically 4 stories (gives you enough time to write them and is their to help), reading logs every week (I ended up doing most of them last minute and still got pretty good grades on them), and online quizzes (can take until you get perfect score).

Beth is knowledgeable, smart, kind and full of sayings that make sense but you have never heard before! I'm thankful I had the time to have her mentor me and help me see roads out there I didn't think were possible. If you are interested in journalism or writing I can't recommend Beth enough.

I learned a lot in this class. The professor was willing to give me enough feedback to help me improve my writing and she met with me outside of class to talk about my personal goals. As a five credit class, I did have to spend some time doing homework, but no more than other five credit classes. If you want to be a better writer this class perfect
