Reviews of professor Jeff Rivenbark

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I had the opportunity to take his class and I honestly regret it. Yes, we learn some cool things in his day to day life of how it is to be in broadcasting, but we have learned absolutely nothing in the course of the semester about journalism. If our test were about his personal life, we would all pass, because thats all he talks about.

Do not take this class. Jeff Rivenbark spends the majority of the class talking about his personal career. He does not have slideshows or visual aids to help learn the material. He does not give clear instructions for assignments. He does not stick to the syllabus. He does not teach 90% of the information featured on tests. He is never prepared.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He has so much great information and practical experience to share and he genuinely wants to see every student fall in love with journalism and do well in the class. Its a heavy work load so if youre not passionate about the subject dont take it, but he will do everything he can to make sure you have the skills you need to be successful.

Jeff is really passionate about his broadcasting job and shares a bunch of great stories with the class, it gives great insight if you're interested in going into this field. In class, he reads directly from the book and tells you exactly what to know for the test. It's an easy class as long as you show up and do your work (which isn't a lot)

He was very interesting.

I would not recommend this class because the professor relies on the students for his class. He is not prepared and does not stay consistent with his schedule. If you want to just talk to your friends and barely pass, take this class.
