Reviews of professor Carolyn Brown

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lecture consists of useless facts from a teacher who thinks shes amazing. Expects you to know stuff shes not even proficient in. Claimed to be a hero for working as a producer in NY during Iraq War.. Shes no hero. Anyone could teach this class.

This is my 2nd time with Professor Brown, this year I was going to give her another chance, but she failed me. I felt like I learned nothing and everything it was review. She often criticized herself and it was kind of sad to hear her bug on herself so much. She does not encourage the students when the are doing well but demolishes them.

This is the hardest class taken thus far. It is possible to get a good grade, but you absolutely have to attend every single 3-hour class. Attendance is worth 20%. Make sure you come up with an idea for a video immediately. Brown's lectures are super repetitive but informative. She grades pretty fair. You don't need to watch the Linda tutorials.

Not much is learned in this class. Erratic deadlines for assignments. She switched one of our classes to in-person (mid-COVID) with minimal communication and proceeded to rant to the class that some people didn't show up. Quizzes are extremely specific. Mandatory class, but you could learn as much by practicing on your own. Not worth it!!!

I'm not sure why Professor Brown always gets a bad rap - I actually love her. I have taken Brown twice now (both different classes) and I made A+ in both. She's a tough grader but, if you do the work YOU WILL PASS. She does get a little off topic though, but it's actually really funny. She's very dry - that's her humor!! Give her a chance!!!!

I had her and she made attendance mandatory but when we would get to class we would get on zoom so she could stay at home. She made our final project the same as every other year where you had to create a story but didn't make any alterations to account for covid. Also made different barriers like must use school cameras and adobe premiere.

If you plan on taking JOUR 4343, then I recommend that you don't take Brown. With the shift to online learning, she said she didn't want to feel overwhelmed with extra work. But during the semester, she would give us extra assignments while still working on big projects. I definitely more stressed in this class than in any other.

Very rude. Not sure as to why she only talk about her life and not actually teach the course. Rambles on and on, oh and if your'e sick sucks to suck no matter how many times you email her, to remind her of the extension THAT SHE GAVE you, she will give you zero's over and over. Please do not waste your money on her... Glad to never see her again.
