Reviews of professor Amelia Reigstad

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She takes "tough grader" to a whole new level. Amelia is unclear when it comes to what the assignment is and then when students ask for clarification she gets mad and blames us.

What made me begin to dislike her was her complete inability to create a classroom that is a safe space to make mistakes or ask for help. Don't ask stupid questions! She is also stickler about deadlines, so, if life happens, don't expect any sympathy on her part. There are better options, take another professor's course.

I loved having Amelia in class. She really cares about how her students do and I learned quite a bit about PR writing that I never knew. She is a tough grader and expects high-quality work, so as long as you take the time on the assignments you will be fine.

Amelia expects a lot from her students and is an amazing teacher. Don't expect to be able to slack off or skip class. She pushes you, and I learned a lot. Participate in class!!!! For the final project she brings in real clients (super cool). She's also super nice when you get talking with her, don't get intimidated - just work hard!!

This is the only class I have taken at the U where I have actually learned applicable skills for a career in PR. There are two assignments due every week that are very manageable and a lecture that explains the entire assignment. The people who left bad reviews for this class either don't know how to follow instructions or just love to complain.

Highly recommend. She's a tough grader and participation is important, but her lectures are very clear, she's good at answering questions, and she gives great feedback on assignments. She also gives you the freedom to choose the topic for a lot of your assignments, so you can make them your own.

Amelia brings real-life experience to class, which makes her a good source for industry knowledge. She is a tough grader and the class is writing-heavy, but it is not as much work as you'd expect. Her grading expectations as far as mechanics go are really clear and she allows students to pick their own subjects. Be wary of the press release.

Amelia is a fantastic teacher. She is a wonderful speaker, super smart and helpful! Every assignment will greatly improve your writing and prepare you for a career in PR/Advertising. PR/Advertising are careers that require hard work, and this class definitely feels like the real world. Also, there were no presentations/group projects!

She prides herself on "asserting herself as a man would" but takes it too far. Just plain mean. When I didn't respond "thank you" to her for grading an assignment I had missed since I was ill, she took it upon herself to follow up on her email and force me to say thank you to her. Wish it didn't turn out this way, I liked her at the start.
