Comment:

The worst professor I've maybe ever had. Has blank power point slides so you actually have to listen to her lectures, which would be fine if 75% of her lectures weren't irrelevant tangents and rants about things unrelated to the course that never show up on the exam. Honestly take whichever other professor you can for this course.

AVOID!! The class just ended for the semester & the average grade for the whole class was a B- (530pts out of 650 pts). This is insane for a 1000 level GenEd intro to comm class. Not an easy A professor for what should be an easy A. Expect loads of reading and notetaking. No Quizlets. Lectures contain small bits of info that pop up on tests/quizzes

Comment:

Dr. Hanlon really cares about students. She wants EVERYONE to get an A, and will email you personally and tell you what to do to raise your grade. She's a lenient grader; as long as you do the assignments, you'll get an A. She's understanding about service-learning (under 15hrs is ok). No harsh feedback on speeches either! Don't buy textbook.

She is a interesting lecturer. She uses different techniques to keep you engaged. I would recommend taking this class. Some classes will be online and the exams will include random facts from her lectures so you have to attend.

HIGHLY recommend. It's a 1000 level class and she understands that. She does NOT make you show up to class and all the grades are online, so its easy to pass. When I do go to class, she is super helpful, VERY sweet and nice, great teacher and a good person. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! 11/10

Comment:

Hanlon is such a nice professor. She really does care about her students and attempts to make a speech class as not stressful as possible, and she does so pretty effectively. Plus, she helps make public speeches into a very do-able thing. You will be doing service-learning, so bear that in mind.

Hanlon is such an amazing professor. She clearly cares for her students and her lectures are interesting. I enjoyed going to class. She cancels class a lot so beware. The class is harder than it needs to be but you will likely enjoy it.

Such a sweet and caring person. Great teacher who cares about her students and respects those who try in her class. GO TO CLASS! Her slides aren't available online and would be indecipherable if she posted them anyway. Would recommend.

15 Quizzes 10 questions each all fairly hard. 4 exams plus one final. All pretty hard. Nothing on Quizlet. Take David Young instead, he is much easier.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU HAVE OTHER CHOICES. Her tests and quizzes are based on super long readings along with online modules with long videos. She barely gave any useful information during her lectures but you would have random questions about specific things she said in class on the tests. Shes nice and all but made the class too difficult.

Comment:

The professor gave more work than I feel should have been assigned for a 1000 level course. It was easily my most time consuming class this semester, and I was taking Physics 2. Most modules had a textbook chapter (or two) along with 20+ pages of pdf's to read. Some weeks had two modules to complete. Take her if you like the subject, else avoid.

Hanlon is an amazing professor and actually wants her students to succeed in and out of her class. The only complaint is that her tests were pretty difficult. Other than that it was a great class!

I LOVE Dr. Hanlon so much! She is so funny and enjoys teaching this class. There is one quiz due every Wednesday and 4 tests to be taken. Do your campus participation, there are so many opportunities so there shouldn't be a reason as to why you don't get a 100% in that category. If you need help with anything, she is so caring towards her students!

Comment:

You can google quiz answers, but complicated grading. You have to attend campus activities and all the extremely liberal talks about privilege, oppression and black history are worth almost double the points of the talks about persuasive speech and presentations. Its a shame this is required because its a massive waste of time and money.

The time flies in her class because she makes the info so interesting and applicable to your life. Dr. Hanlon is so passionate and will do anything for her students. She is a great person and very understanding! Only have online exams and quizzes. Just attend lecture and read the textbook. Take her class! She is a one of a kind professor!!

Professor Hanlon was an absolute joy to be around. She brings this fun energy to class and lectures are all the more interesting with the way she explains things! This class is an easy pass if you go to her lectures and take notes- reason being her exams are lecture heavy. The weekly Wednesday quizzes are typically textbook based T/F questions.

Comment:

Went to class the first two weeks then never went back and I did pretty good for never going to class. There's an online quiz every week (most of the answers are on quizlet). The tests were also online, however, the questions were hard to find online and involved in-class references! DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! Guaranteed an A if you go to class.

Comment:

She tried to push an agenda in a lot of the classes, which bothered me a bit. Other than that, this will be one of the easiest classes you will take. There is lots of extra credit given throughout the semester. Only thing you will have trouble with is the exams if you don't read the book cover to cover. Easiest class I took this semester.

Comment:

Professor Hanlon is a cool professor, she makes lectures super interesting and fun and cares about her students. The only two things were tests and grading. No study guides, tests are open book but you don't have enough time to look up questions since you aren't made aware of what to study. Also grading section was super complicated.

Comment:

Dr. Hanlon is a really sweet lady. Really cares about her students, wants everyone to get an A and will make sure you do (just put in effort). She's an easy grader and will tell you what you need to improve on. Didn't really use the textbook or learn text material in class. Only needed the textbook during the two exams (open notes and taken online)
