Reviews of professor David Mindich

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I loved journalism my entire life and took this class as a freshman. I am no longer a journalism major, and withdrew. We spent weeks talking about the printing press irrelevant material. The readings are INSANELY long and frequent, and you WILL be quizzed weekly on those and RANDOM NEW YORK TIMES facts from the daily paper. Essays too. DON'T DO IT

Dr. Mindich is incredibly knowledgable and he has a great sense of humor. The class is a lot of work, but if you are willing to put in the work you will learn a lot. Although its been stressful at times, he is always willing to meet outside of class and work with you to help you succeed. He gives quiz points back if you talk to him in office hours.

Mindich is a good teacher but way too much Hw for a freshman class and the grading is bizzare, Plus the workload at the end of the course is ridiculous, Final Paper, Group projects, and final exams, just pick one. He takes random attendance once a month and you really don't need to come to class to learn just read the textbook, his own textbook.

Dr. Mindich is one of the best professors i've had at temple. His lectures are amazing and so interesting, he is so nice and really cares about his students. The workload was a decent amount, but I honestly loved everything we learned about. I can't recommend him enough! Take his class!!

Everybody be hating on Dr. Mindich but he's a really nice, genuinely caring professor that wants you to do well in his class. You do have to put in effort to get a good grade but he gives you every opportunity to pass. Just read your book and turn in your assignments and show the nice guy some respect!

professor Mindich's class was a terrible experience. He makes you buy and read his own book, talks about only himself, the lectures are irrelevant, and he only gives pop quizzes. He single handedly ruined any passion I had for journalism. Book notes require you to copy the entire book onto paper because you never know what he's gonna put on a quiz.
