Reviews of professor Zoe Carney

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
During lectures, she looks like she's reading off of something as she speaks, which means that she uses a lot of complicated, jargon-filled sentences that are hard to summarize. It's sometimes hard to see how the lectures are organized, too. I mean I'm getting an A, so the tests weren't too bad, but the lectures gave me a headache every time.

You basically only have to go to class for attendance (you only get 3 absences). You give speeches through out the semester, and her grading isn't understandable. Over all if you have to take this class, take Carney, she's a good/caring person.

I was very intimidated when I signed up for her class because she has such a bad rating here but honestly she is not bad. I did not read for her class at all BUT did take really good lecture notes. That was enough to get me an A. Her study guides are very helpful!

I really enjoyed Dr. Carney's lectures. They got more and more thought provoking and out there towards the end of the semester. She eventually added slides to her notes-only lectures in response to heavy student request/protest. Since she posts the slides online, it's best to just write down what she says.

Dr Carney was a great professor, go to class and you will get an easy A. I didnt buy the textbook or do any of the reading, simply just showed up to lecture and received an A. Her reviews are straight forward & the information is exactly whats on the exam. Not sure why she doesnt have a better rating, also offers extra credit just for showing up

Dr. Carney is a very nice professor, however her lectures are mostly verbal, which means you'll be scrambling to take your notes as she speaks. To make matters worse, she moves quite fast and doesn't seem to appreciate when students ask her to repeat herself. This results in pretty lousy notes, so I recommend that you steer clear ladies and gents.

Dr. Carney is great! Take good notes and study the powerpoint and you should be fine. Her tests are only 35 questions and if you do the review the questions are pretty straightforward. You don't really have to understand or take notes on the readings because she goes over it all in class.

Professor Carney was a great choice for COMM 203. Her rubric was easy to understand and she was clear on what she was expecting of her students. As long as you follow the rubric for the speeches then you will be fine. There are 4 speeches and other minor grades that are also grade boosters. Overall great professor that cared about her students.

Professor Carney is extremely nice and willing to help out her students. I took this class this past semester and made a B, but I worked extremely hard for it and even had to reach out to her about being mis-graded on our final essay. She did not seem prepared for lectures & tests were difficult. You never know what to expect with her.
