Reviews of professor Susan Francis

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Susan comes up with lots of things to make the lectures engaging and fun. However, she is a strict grader and does not appreciate going over the assignments if you ask her to, and takes it personally if you do ask her. She also doesn't like to provide any examples for the assignments, indicating that some people might plagiarize.

Susan is a nice professor who gives clear instructions on what she wants. She is a VERY tough marker. I never got a mark above 80% for big assignments, and the class average was 70%. She is also nit-picky about what she expects, so read the assignment guidelines, and you'll end up with an 83% like me, lol.

Susan made CMNS 125 online actually interesting and enjoyable. I learned a lot about writing, presenting, and APA. Her detailed feedback has helped me improve my writing, assignments, and professional business communications in my job. Thank you!!

I had Susan for CMNS 125 online. She does put a lot of emphasis on discussion board posts. She had unique challenges and things that had prizes such as extensions and she really tries to engage the class. The workload was fair and she made sure there were a lot of resources available for students to succeed such as extra sources for APA citation.

Susan is a good teacher in some ways, but in others, she is not. For example, during our final assignment, she didn't want to provide examples to write a good research report out of the risk of copying. Her grading style is very bizarre. I anything it seems almost dishonest the way she grades. This was discussed with multiple students too

It was a condensed semester, this made for some short deadlines. She makes class enjoyable. She is a very tough grader. I sometimes felt that the top grade on an assignment is an A-. No amount of additional effort can push past that. She is very responsive outside of class to emails. She will give you all the tools to succeed.

She makes the class enjoyable with lots of fun activities but she's a tough grader. No matter how hard you try to improve your writing, she will keep your grades below B.
