I absolutely loved her DBA 130 class. She is easy to approach as long as you aren't disruptive in class. She pretty much gives the test answers during the class before and will help with everything that she can. As long as you do the assignments on time and are at least nice to everyone, you'll pass.

Comment:

Meg was absolutely phenomenal. Maybe it's because this is my field of study, but I became even more fascinated with the broadcast industry after this class. It's a very participation based course that requires hands on assignments at the station. Many assignments are fast paced. She gives clear test prep sheets and is understanding of each student

Very good class, Meg has a long history with radio and it shows, radio is her life. She will teach you what you need to know, but you have to do the work, as with anything worth while.

This is one of the best classes I have ever taken. I wanted to learn about radio and now I have my own radio show! Teacher was informative and helpful, but also expects you to come to every class and do your work. If you don't she won't cut you any slack. Do your work and come to class and you will do great. Truly awesome experience!

Great class. Lots of hands on work in the radio station studios for assignments. Now I will have my own radio show! Manage your time, it is easy to get behind. Also do not be an idiot in class, she does not tolerate outbursts, disruptions, or talking in class. Do the work and you will be OK.

Comment:

She made me feel intimidated to ask her questions because she would snap at people once in a while. But I thought she was a really good teacher. Gave us all the answers for the tests and was crystal clear as far as what to do on the assignments. You get to do a 1 hr live show at the end of the semester. Take this class if your interested in Radio!

I took this class having little interest in Radio. However, I still loved this class and enjoyed learning about radio production. I'd definitely recommend taking this class from Meg. She's very helpful and tries to make the class enjoyable for all.

Meg is an excellent teacher! You definately have to earn your grade, but if you come to class and do the work you won't have any problems. The fact that she is a professional broadcaster is helpful. She can give you "real world" examples that you just can't get in a book. If want to learn the "craft" of radio, this is a great class to take.

Wasn't very clear half the time and kinda contradicted herself. Didn't like her attitude; she was rather condescending towards me and insulted me on a few occasions. Seems to pick favorites.

Comment:

Interesting class. I was hesitant to take it at first because I thought it would be a big waste of time. Lots of assignments, but necessary to learn what you need to know to become a radio DJ. You make an aircheck tape by the end of class to use for future jobs.
