Reviews of professor Lindsey Decker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures are incredibly interesting and her knowledge on the selected films is incredible! She makes her classes extremely engaging and is always accessible for extra help. Participation matters, but it is not hard as the class topics will always call for opinions and discussion. If you see a class with Decker (not co101) make sure to take it!

Dr. Decker is a fantastic, kind prof. Her lectures were always clear and she took care to provide further explanation when needed. Lectures were fun because they included practical, and sometimes comedic, examples of the material we were learning. The material isn't overly difficult, but she does have high expectations. I would take her again.

She is not familiar with her material. I cannot get the logic between different topics she covered during lecture. I cannot understand why she always and only used Marvel film as examples. It's torture for students who actively dislike Marvel. It's more reasonable to use more diverse examples. Also, the quizzes she made are difficult.

Decker seems like a kind person. Very passionate about her work. This module was the easiest and most fun of the three in COM101 in my opinion. When I went to collect my final paper, she congratulated me on a job well done and was approachable. I was a freshman and this was the first time I'd ever been to a professor's office hours, so it was nice.

Lecture attendance is necessary because she doesn't give out her slides to students. The grading for papers is very tough and different TAs grade completely differently.

It's like she did not even practice her lectures before class. Confusing in explaining difficult concepts that do not even show up on the quiz, but she spends so much time on it in class. Does she know what she's doing? Her quizzes include specific Q's from the textbook like finding a needle in a haystack.

Decker's portion of Com101 was by far the easiest and most interesting, however, this class SUCKED! So much busy work and I feel as though I didn't learn anything new. Show up, follow instructions, and you'll get an easy A
