Reviews of professor Suzanne Bricker

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I would not recommend this class unless you are passionate about journalism. Professor Bricker is passionate about journalism. However, when that passion translates to over loading your students then it is awful practice. There is an excessive amount of reading. Two discussions a week and must be revised. Assignments are heavily graded.

This is by far the worst class I have taken at UMGC. So close to a 4.0 and now I have 3.5 and this class is only  an elective. She grades hard for NO reason. She offered minimal feedback & quick to give out Fs for grammar & does not comment /feedback on the content or quality of the papers. Too heavy workload for working adult learners. Do not rec

She gives you good feedback but you have to log on every day to see if shes given you feedback (you wont be notified). Shell extend your project by a day and if you dont see it in time, youre work wont be graded. She also uses two identical folders. If your work is submitted to the wrong one she wont grade it either, even if its on time.

I have been in her jour class for a bit now and she is so picky with how she grades. I took an online class to allow me the flexibility to work to support myself but I spend so much time in this class I feel like I could rip my hair out. If you don't have to take this prof, save yourself the time and don't. I'm just hoping to pass at this point

Very tough grader. Posting discussions is extremely important for online courses, but her rules are much stricter and the discussions often hold more weight than the assignments. Gives great feedback, as she helps/suggests outside resources to improve quality of work, but will knock off large amount of points for small things on your assignments.
