Comment:

The entire transmedia class is a mess but that's not entirely her fault. She very obviously wants to make it a good class, but it's hard when MSU has each Transmedia being taught differently. Overall, she is okay. She works with the students well and allows them to work on projects they genuinely WANT to do.

Comment:

One of the finest professors this University had to offer. She really knew her stuff and how to convey that knowledge to her students. Since MU opted not to give this amazing talent a tenured position they lost her to Montclair. Nice going MU.

Comment:

Oh bev...she's a quack. She is very strict with cell phone and talking. Oh and don't try to ask her questions she will reply with. "I'm Steven Spielberg." and "You will get fired in the real world if you ask questions." But overall, very nice and knows her stuff!

Passionate about what she does, very helpful. Classes are always intriguing, and in at least three cases I left the course with a headache from thinking so hard.

Comment:

This class was fun. She works in the film business so she knows her stuff. She is a fairly easy grader and curves her exams a lot if necessary. However, I often didn't know what exactly we were doing because she can be very confusing. There are good discussions and projects. It is a very interesting class.

She is not the clearest professor, but she is a pretty easy grader. She knows everything she teaches very well and does her best to teach it all. However, she is a little strict when it comes to talking...like scary strict.

One of the most supportive professor I have ever had! Always there with emails and or phone calls even to her home. Gets back to me right away. She gave me clear direction and encouragement when the technology was beating me up. Clearly knows her subject matter and students needs.

Sooo nice and so easy, and pretty respectful if you show that you know what you're doing. She rules for all that except nearly failing me on my independent project......forever a dark spot on her for that.
