Reviews of professor Ashar Foley

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Foley is a really great professor with a really good heart. Classes are laid back, the lectures are interesting, and as long as you do the necessary work (not much) you'll pass. Exams were open book with ample time to complete them. Definitely recommend taking her!

Professor Foley is super cool. She's soft-spoken but still manages to get a powerful message across. Her assessments aren't too difficult, most classwork is done in groups, and there's a lot of freedom with each writing assignment. She takes course concepts and translates them to the real world; I've grown as a student and a person in her class!

Prof. Foley is one of the best professors at Fordham. She's able to make some difficult concepts understandable and makes the significance of what you're learning clear. Exams are open-note and you are given plenty of freedom in your writing. She's extremely accessible outside of class and gets back to emails very quickly. Take her class!!

Very good professor. As someone on the quest for the easy A course, she is not the hardest but not the easiest. You do have to do a level of work, but nothing bad. Two essays and a few responses. In some classes there is group work but not all the time. She is very nice and an easy grader. She gets what is going on and is very kind with extensions.

I learned topics that were really beneficial to my interests that I otherwise wouldn't have learned about in any other class. Her humour is perfectly dry and she's just the right amount of awkward where you don't feel afraid to ask her questions. She's very accommodating and doesn't assign too much work. Alot of the assignments were done in class.

Literally such a boring class but super easy. Take home midterm and final and the final project Zine is so easy. Professor Foley is funny and responsive and really values what students want in a class.

Professor Foley was actually a great professor! I took "Ethical Issues in Media." and yes, it was pretty lecture-heavy....but all the assignments and grading are so straightforward, and you do most of the work in class. Professor Foley also is very knowledgable in this area and is so accommodating! I recommend this class!

Very straightforward grading criteria and class structure. Very lecture heavy but assignments aren't dependent on paying attention. Took Comm1000 for EP1 and it was two 6 page essays, two 2 page reading responses, and a revised 3 page reading response as well as other small assignments and in-class group work.

I wish I could take a class with Prof. Foley every semester I have left in college. She is the most caring professor and clearly takes the time for the class to be as successful as possible. Homework is reading every class, as well as 2 essays and two 2-3 page response papers, which sounds like a lot but she makes everything very manageable!
