I think that she was a nice teacher who wants everyone to succeed. The campaign is worth 50% of your grade so do not wait unitl the last minute and make sure your team works together on most aspects! I did well in this class and I think she is a fine teacher

Comment:

It's a very difficult class (AP for juniors and seniors) and I am a freshman who took it. I loved it, though. You have to do one presentation of a case brief and a HUGE group argument project. You have to write a 10-12 pg paper and have a 10-12 minute oral argument. It's hard but fun. She's a great professor and provides helpful notes.

Comment:

plays favorites and even when i asked her for help, i was referred to the t.a. while other students got one-on-one time with her. she took off points on a final project and said certain things were left out although they were clearly presented. unless you're ready to kiss ass, i wouldn't recommend her.

Prof. Fitzpatrick was a GREAT professor. I don't know what the person below is talking about. She gives clear expectations and rewards you if you meet them. She is energetic and interesting and is DEFINITELY a professor you need to take before you leave!!!

AMAZING!!! Loved the class, loved the teacher. The workload was acceptable, and she was more than willing to take time after class to help out. HIGHLY recommended!

Comment:

This teacher didn't understand that this was a freshmen class, she picks favorites and is a really hard grader as well as doesn't give you criteria for how she grades papers. She sucks, take her if you want to get a bad grade and be annoyed for 10 weeks.

Comment:

Prof. Fitzpatrick is an incredibly intelligent, dynamic woman but the classes tended to drag on a bit. The organization of the course would be better suited if it had more discussion rather than just lecture. Throwing in some TV/film/print examples would be helpful too. She is hard but fair- work hard and you'll hvae no problem!

She's nice, but in this class she talks a lot. She knows her stuff, but it's kind of a boring class.

One of the most intelligent, interesting professors I've ever had. Made boring material about PR Ethics interesting and relevant. Midterms and finals were directly from study guides. Class discussion was interesting and lively. A really cool lady who knows her stuff and respects her students and their opinions.

Hands down, by far the best teacher at DePaul. I actually learned in her classes--do yourself a favor and get to know her. She's a wonderful person.

The class is interesting be prepared to know everything and overly broad if you want to get a good grade on the tests. She bragged that she had a Chile pepper next to her name on ratemyprofessor but looks like she made the whole thing up. Sad.

She sets the bar on how insightful, intelligent, and informed I want my professors to be. She is 1 of the brains in the dept. and has the education to back it up. One of the best!
