Reviews of professor Rebecca Dyer

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Most difficult 101 class I've ever taken. 10 modules, 10 quizzes, 1 midterm, and 1 final. I got an A (94%) & that was with doing the extra credit for the 15 point max available and extra credit for the midterm, and it was the only class I was taking at the time, so if you're taking more... beware. But Mrs. Dyer is very passionate about the subject!

What seems like a very easy class was made ridiculously hard due to this professor. It's almost impossible to pass this course when there's way too much information and all quizzes and tests are on camera where you feel the pressure of being watched. This professor gives no grace and doesn't care about your life outside of this course. TURN AWAY

The workload felt a bit too much for a one-credit course. The class is entirely made up of quizzes/exams, no writing at all. It's important stuff, and you can take the homework quizzes more than once. I put together a Quizlet as I watched the lecture and used that to study any spare moment I got. I didn't have any interaction with Professor Dyer.

Professor Dyer explained the material really clearly, but because it's an online class, make sure to hit those deadlines. The class was only graded by 10 quizzes, a midterm, and a final, so doing badly on one of them would hurt your grade given that journalism majors have to get over an 80% to pass. Make sure to put in the time and study.

My one piece of advice to anyone taking this class is to just log-in right from the first day. I forgot about it because it was an online class. Grammar is so important and I am glad I took it. The lectures are easy to understand and structured nice. Just turn in your assignments on time and utilize the practice quizzes!

I didn't interact with her much since it was an online class, but I thought it was pretty reasonable in terms of difficulty and homework load. Typically was able to get through a module fully in a couple days- if you study you'll do well. The books are helpful for sure.

the class isnt THAT hard but definitely takes time and extra attention. you have to pass with a 80%, so do the extra credit and attend study sessions

Regardless of the rating I give, this is a required class to take. It seems like there is a lot to do for each module, but as long as you take notes from the slide presentation from each module, you'll be fine. For journalism majors you will need to have AT LEAST an 80% in order to pass the class. With that being said, do the extra credit!!

The class is tough, and the lecture videos aren't exactly engaging. However, Professor Dyer was kind and very willing to help, and when I messed up on an assignment, she was willing enough to let me re-do it.
