There were a few times where I wasn't sure what she was asking for, but she was very open minded, very positive, and also very helpful.

Comment:

She's an OK teacher. I learned some HTML from her. Other than that she talks about many different points and functions in life and new media and how to condense them into one and then perversely cross-pollinate them.

Comment:

Biggest waste of time. I've never been so upset about paying for a class I learned NOTHING in! She had no idea what she was doing and there was no solid plan for the semester. When she got sick for two weeks, we were left with nothing to do. I can't believe she's still teaching!

Comment:

Many times I was shaking w/ anger due 2 things she said. I'm not liberal, but not fully conservative, and I'm fine with difference of opinions, but not when its shoved down your throat, and stated as the only way. My family is involved in politics n I felt she offended me and my family many times.

Biggest waste of time.. I learned that we need to take the top of the pyramid down,**** in holes outside n live in the woods...She was way to opinionated n lacked the idea of teaching the class but just threw her views at u.

Comment:

Jolenes political views seemed to run the class. I consider myself to be liberal, but Jolene is off the charts. If you want to go through the new media program and end up with a paying job, avoid Jolene. If you would like to save the earth using new media and live off vegtables therest of your life, this is the class for you.

Comment:

Joline came into a bunch of my NMD classes and freaked everyone out by ranting, raving, and screaming at students! Shes beyond liberal, more like crazed hippy. I am personally liberal, but she totally turned me off with by pushing her views into classes face. She is very intelligent though, but a nut (in the worst way).

Comment:

She's opinionated â€" I won't deny it â€" but she also is very permissive of other points of view. I have learned <i>so much</i> in her classes.

She is smart and easy to get along with. I would take all her classes if I could. You just got to be willing to do the work and talk out in class.

Comment:

Is she qualified at all? She can't keep to a subject becuase she doesnt seem to know anything but her personal agenda which has nothing to do with anything. Doesnt care about students talks openly about her sex life in a NEW MEDIA CLASS! Come on fire
