Reviews of professor Ashley Denney

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took Professor Denney for an 8-week course. Her work consists of copious amounts of reading for a fast-paced course. You have 3 essay portfolios throughout the course. Her feedback is decent, but how she organizes and distributes her assignments usually has students confused and asking questions in GroupMe constantly.

Can't speak for her online course, but taking her class in person was the highlight of my semester. She does assign a lot of reading, but if you're there for the lectures you don't actually need to read any of it. She was really sweet and worked with you on late grades. Easy class if you actually show up.

I took this class for a credit and I ended up learning more about subtlety biased political material and transgender rights; I signed up for an "argument and debate" class. She was also sick very often expect late grades for papers. It is a VERY EASY class to pass, but I went to school to be challenged and to grow.

She's hard to reach and randomly takes a week off for illness (happened twice in an 8wk course.) 3 major grades overall and none of them were graded until the final week of class so grades are unpredictable. Group project was disorganized. Readings are long & complex, be ready to take 3+ hrs/week just to read, take a quiz, and do a discussion.

Professor Denney is a good professor don't get me wrong. She takes a while to get back to you on feedback for speeches/papers so you're going into new assignments blind and don't know how to improve from previous. Gives a lot of random "busy work" assignments for completion grades. Not a bad professor just a lot of random work that is unnecessary.

Cancels class very often since she's the debate coach for UTSA. Grades hard for speeches, but gives out an ample amount of extra credit which my class truly enjoyed. As long as you are prepared whenever speech day comes, no doubt you'll succeed in this class.

We had 4 weekly chapters of reading, quizzes, outlines, discussion boards, major speech & group projects all on top of each other plus a midterm, final, & essay. There were 2 due dates per week. She graded the first speech & gave feedback. Everything else sat ungraded until the end of the course. No feedback. She's nice, but it's not okay.

I took professor Denney for Intro to Com over the summer, and honestly do not recommend. She's nice, but the amount of reading for this class was INSANE. I'm talking like 6 chapters a week and they're 40-70 pages long. The rest of the work wasn't that bad but the reading was awful. Plus, all the assignments and tests are completely based on reading
