Reviews of professor Anne-Marie La Porte

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I enjoyed her class. We had to read a chapter of the textbook each week and during the zooms she would go over the powerpoint slides(they don't cover everything required in the exams so beware). For exam day, there were separate tests for each chapter which was nice(they're timed). The writing assignments and discussions were moderately easy-ish.

She was very clear with how she graded things and what she offered in the course. She dove deeply into the subject to where sometimes she would lose track of time. She actually cares about giving amazing feedback in helping her students succeed. I enjoyed her lectures the most and definitely would take her class again. Love this teacher.

Lectures weren't boring and made the content easy to understand. Class discussions were fun, definitely take this class in person if you can!

Teacher is really bad at explaining what she wants from students points to rubrics and does not make clear what she wants very critical of students work and grades arbitrary. Avoid this teacher and if you have to take her say goodbye to your gpa.

She grades over the littlest things and refused to fix something that she was wrong about, even though the answer was clearly stated in the textbook. Shes slowly killing your grade.

Professor La Porte is an amazing communications teacher, this is BY FAR the best communications class I've ever taken at EVCC. Take it in-person because it is worth it. She is great at creating an engaging atmosphere in the classroom by having a balance of learning the material while asking thought-provoking questions. You won't get bored in class!

Great course, assignments weren't overwhelming or stressful, tests were easy if you studied.

This professor assigns too many discussion posts and lecture videos to watch per week. Each week there is about a chapter or two due (30+ pages) with 9-12 replies to discussion posts on different days that are required. Some exam questions make no sense with multiple "right answers." Easy class but very time-consuming.

Professor LaPorte is a very caring and respectful teacher. She gives clear feedback and therefore helps the students improve their performance. She is very understanding. Although class was fully online she managed to keep in touch with the students and create positive and welcoming environment.

Professor is a communications professor but doesn't communicate effectively! So many typos and grammatical errors in her materials. Ambiguous questions on quizzes ("multiple right answers but only ONE is the RIGHT one"). Nitpicks on grading. Expect 20-25 items due each week, can't skip over because tons of Ted Talks she assigns are on ?'s on quiz.
