Reviews of professor Shana Meganck

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Meganck is exactly what a class like her's should be. Because it's large its very lecture heavy but it is an easy version of that. You go in, sit down and hear the slides, take notes, and leave and wait for the test. Not hard at all, just another day another dollar. I would take her again because she is nice and you only have to do the bare minimum

I was really excited for this class, but she made it one of my least favorite classes at JMU. I had reached out to her about going to office hours multiple times, and each time she said that she was too busy. She grades based off of daily clicker quizzes, discussion board posts, and exams. Not too hard of a class if she helped students.

She is a good professor that cares for her students, but you can tell she feels more comfortable teaching upperclassmen. Class consisted of 2 exams, 2 group speeches, final, MREST, SONA requirements, and random worksheets. Focused more on lectures than group speeches, but was still effective in teaching required material. Overall a solid choice.

Dr. Meganck is great! The class is hard, obviously! She's very helpful in and out of class. The class is one big project, and oh my it's a monster, but it's fun. The class is realistic and applicable to a PR job. You truly apply everything from the major. My only complaint is the use of qualitative research for the project.

Dr. Meganck is a queen! She was pretty tough for SCOM 460 but got a lot more chill when I took her for 461. She's straightforward in the best way, responsive, and genuinely cares about her students progress and the quality of our work.

Gave off the vibe that she wished she wasn't teaching an entry level course, but did an ok job. She only gives a week to work on each group speech so don't procrastinate if you can. Lectures are really simplified and exactly like the textbook, I'd just read the book instead of going to class if it weren't mandatory. Nice prof, but not for me.
