Comment:
Mrs. McMeans has been my favorite professor, so much so that I took her two semesters in a row. Her classes are interesting and mostly discussion based. She ties in current events and encourages the class to voice there opinions and share relevant experience. She rules. Take her class, you will not regret it.

Comment:
Loved my journalism class, & Prof McMeans. Learned a lot about the news industry, which is what I signed up for. Grading is tough, but she allows each assignment to be resubmitted for higher grade. I def. recommend doing each "easy" extra credit assignment for the tokens. They add up and help. I started out rocky, but ended up w/ a "B"

Comment:
I have taken Professor McMeans for two semesters now for Journalism I & II. She expects a lot but I can honestly say that I have learned so much from her. She is a tough grader, however, she gives you clear guidelines on what she expects. Her teaching style is excellent. She mixes everything up from group work to lecture and visual examples. A+

Bonnie is a very strict professor. She rarely gives out A's; however, it is possible if you put in the hard work. If you are like me, a person who has been out of school for over 10 years then you may struggle but she gives out a ton of extra credit to improve your grade. Nonetheless, she is great. I received a B. Work hard and you will excel .

She's a pretty tough grader, but she tells you exactly what she wants, and expects that you follow those guidelines. The amount of writing assigned is reasonable for an english class. The time in the classroom was my favorite part. Lots of good discussions and insights into writing and literature. Probably the best english class I've ever taken.

Bonnie is great. Her journalism class is intense and a lot of work. She really is a great woman and LOVES her job. If you have a serious interest in journalism, or want to learn to become a better writer, TAKE HER. This is not an easy A. She said she rarely gives A's. I got a B. I absolutely loved her.

This course will push you to develop yourself into a more efficient person and give indispensable skills you can use even outside of journalism. The prof. is very motivational and caring as long as you put in effort and are respectful. Fair warning to slackers, she will not take your bull, plain and simple. Easily #1 of all professors I've taken.

If you are someone who wants the easy way out in life and class, don't take this course. I didn't expect it to be as hard as it was, but I'm glad it was. She certainly made you work for your grade! I'd recommend taking this if you're serious about Journalism. She's very knowledgeable, nice, and beyond helpful!

Run the other way! This teacher is insane. She is an extremely hard grader and the only way to do good on a paper is to buy one offline from someone with their masters. I couldn't wait for this class to be over. Nice person, but a pain as a teacher.

She thinks that she is better than everyone else, when she is truly not! She thinks that all the attention needs to be on her, and does a good job trying to make people feel bad.

Comment:
I took intro to Journalism thinking it would be he basics in journalism, it was the farthest from that she acted like we already had a background in journalism which many of us did not, I endned up dropping the class. do not go into her class expecting to just learn the basics, and she is very particular on her editing, she critiques too much!

Comment:
If you think you are serious about journalism, she will make or break you. Her expectations are high but clearly expressed. Many people who complain about her editing on here are terrible writers and don't realize it; be prepared to take writing (in newspaper format) seriously. If you want to write news, she's your girl.

She is a really nice person if you're nice to her... she loved me but still graded me hard so if you think being friends with her is going to help you you're wrong!!! You just have to actually do the work, kind of a pain sometimes

Comment:
I know journalism writing is different from the usual essay writing I was use to. I expected in a journ. 1 class to learn the basic mechanics and techniques to newspaper writing but she failed to do that. She started the class off as if everyone already had experience in the field! I ended up dropping it.

Very tough/critical. Expect hard work. We had workshop before a paper was due (very helpful, you dont want to miss that). She will give you points for doing hw, attend class, actively participate in class & workshop. I didnt enjoy her class, although I learned alot from her. She made me hate journalism so much.
