Reviews of professor Tamara Nopper

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She was great! The class was great! Well organized. A lot of work but its a senior level class so it makes sense. Her syllabus was really clear, she showed you the grading criteria up front, gave great feedback, and was really fair. And her regular emails to the class were great--shows she really read our forums.

Dr. Nopper is one of the best teachers Ive experienced. Her weekly class emails show that she reads what we write, but also she provides additional links and insight to the class work. Discussion posts require active interaction, shes a stickler for true engagement. No posting on Sunday only. Theories/writing arent easy but its a great class.

This is a great class! It is organized really well, the readings are interesting, and great films and video clips of contemporary issues to put it into context and make the material come alive. She also sends a regular email about our class discussions providing related sources--shows she cares and actually reads our class discussions!!!

I recommend this course and Dr. Nopper is an excellent communicator. Expect to learn taking this course, no coasting. If you follow her rubric and read her weekly feedback you will have the tools to be successful. The material is relevant. For once in a long while I did not feel ripped off paying the PSU high tuition course credit.

One of the most interesting online classes available at PSU. Theory reading is a lot, but with videos and lesson its comprehensible. Dr Nopper has an expectation of interaction in the discussions, her rubric shows it. Her feedback on assignments and weekly class emails were the most helpful experience regardless of online and in class setting.

Dr. Nopper is an excellent teacher. There is a lot of reading but she provides the material from pdf, which I appreciated since texts books are expensive. Quizzes, Papers on theories, Exams and discussion posts. The first professor in a while who felt engaged and wanted students to learn and succeed. Discussion posts didn't feel like a waste of tim
