Comment:
While I really like Charlotta Kratz and often enjoyed her classes and lectures, her grading was so frustrating for me. Very harsh grader, will not give you an A unless it is EXACTLY what she is looking for and her requirements can sometimes be vague. Scored Bs mostly even though I was working my butt off and meeting with her.

Professor Kratz is very insightful into the subject topic and knows a lot from her personal experiences of working within media. Very easy to talk to and loves building a relationship with students. Not much homework except for doing readings.

Comment:
The class itself (conceptually) is easy, but Prof Kratz is incredibly vague on how she grades her assignments. She doesn't give any homework, but that means the few assignments you do have carry a lot of weight. She does not give good feedback, so make sure you know exactly what she is looking for/what you did wrong if you want an A

Ms. Kratz is a great teacher. She uses everyday real examples to help you understand the concepts better. Reading isn't mandatory but helps for the study guides she gives. There is two test and two projects and a paper. She is super helpful and responses to emails quickly. Not the easiest teacher but if you put in a little work you'll get a B.

Professor Kratz is great. No slides or online notes. She does everything on the chalkboard. Lectures are very interesting however. Grade relies heavily on 2 paper, 2 exams, and 1 short final paper. Participation is taken everyday in class so do show up! She is very accessible, replies to questions super quick and is super helpful.

Comment:
I would not say she is the greatest professor in the world, just average. She is amazingly nice and has great stories, but the tests she had were rather subjective. There wasn't really a clear answer and it could be confusing at times. You can get through her class fairly well, you won't wanna die but you don't look forward to it either.

Dr. Kratz is hilarious and Swedish. The class itself was extremely easy, I didn't do any of the reading and somehow did very well on the tests. Her lectures are kind of a mess, all over the place. However, her analysis of media is very interesting and enlightening, and she has some neat ideas.

Comment:
Professor Kratz's lectures were incredibly unorganized- there are no slideshows or notes. She hand writes notes on the black board and her writing is very illegible. She often goes off on tangents and it is difficult to figure out what she is talking about. She does show a lot of movie clips tho and theres 2 projects and tests, and one final paper.

Comment:
Lectures are long but interesting - she usually will show several videos/clips of movies that enhance her message. Quirky sense of humor but really makes you think about societal norms and what media wants us to think. Tests are straightforward if you follow the study guide. Great prof for Comm2 because of what she makes you think about.

Very easy class, hard to pay attention because material was so subjective. No textbook, can get away w/ not doing the readings.

She makes us read the readings but she only goes over 3 or 4 out of 20 articles you have to read. For the midterm, she just gives you a study guide and nothing else. I took the test after going over the study guide but I got the worst grade ever. And she didn't go into specifics on what you needed to write in order to get full credit.

Prof. Kratz is a great lecturer because she draws examples from her own experiences and the world at large. She gives al students the opportunity to talk about what they are passionate about (no matter how tangential the comments might be) and finds ways to relate them back to the course. She is down to earth and genuinely cares about the students.

Although she was a fun teacher; very down to earth, humerous, and let you talk about anything because everything relates to communications and media, she was a tough one... i had a hard time understanding her and what i thought she meant was not what she wanted. so her expectations are hard to follow when they are not really explained to you!!!
