This is the best professor I have ever had at SMC. First I took Media 1 & then her Media 10 class. Her lessons are informative without being overwhelming and she genuinely cares about the well-being of her students. If you ever get the opportunity to learn from her, please take it. You would definitely regret it if you didn't!!!

This professor is honestly the BEST professor I had. Real nice and real easy to pass. I actually learned a lot considering that I took this class on a whim. Lectures are also pretty fun and the professor would often try to engage students by tieing the lecture with IRL events. Exams are lecture heavy but lectures are neatly organized so easy A.

What a treat to get to take a class with her. She is very relatable and inclusive of everyone in the class. Her classes were so enjoyable it really didn't even feel like a "lecture". She is a positive light to be around and loved by all her students, extremely clear in everything that is expected of you and a fair grader. Exams directly from notes.

Do yourself a favor & TAKE THIS CLASS! Professor Brewer is the best prof I've ever had at SMC. She genuinely cares about her students & the subject. She teaches so well & all the test are a breeze if you study her class notes. There are 4 exams (2 cumulative, 2 not) and 10 group worksheets. I cannot reiterate enough how great of a class this is!!!!

Professor Brewer is a really nice and caring person, she has her expectations and wants a full 100% out of you. She locks the modules so you cant work ahead. Everything is scattered so you really have to put in your whole week. She does not give any type of extra credit or let you make up an assignment unless a medical reason.

Took a Media 1 ONLINE course with Prof. Brewer and shes very caring and understandable of what her students could be going through when were offline. If you stay on top of due dates this class is a breeze. I hope to take her Media 10 course later on.

Professor Brewer is a real gem. She is hands-down the best professor I've had. Her teaching is very organized and she sets you up to get an A. She gives study guides that tell you every single that that will be on the exam. She is open to answering questions in class. She is caring, respectful and respected, and amazing at what she does.

Personally loved this professor. She's relatable and down to earth but you must show up to every class or else you will be dropped. Write down everything in the lectures and you'll be good to go. Group work is a focal point and tests are very specific so be prepared.

I learned a lot from this professor. She is a very influential and kind hearted. She is unbiased and open to every students opinions. She is very understanding about personal problems and will work with you. However, it does not mean you can take advantage of it. It was an honor to be her student and I will be seeing here in the Fall.

Took the class online. Was super easy as long as you get the work in on time. One discussion, one 5 question quiz a week. Midterm and final is easy- she gives you a word bank of terms and you fill in the blank. Do the work, fulfill her criteria and you'll get an A. She doesn't accept late work, so make sure to turn stuff in before the due date

Very clear on what she expects of students. She communicates regularly and updates everyone when there is something going on. As for the class itself, each week consists of a short quiz based on the chapter, a discussion, and an activity. All of these are easy. If you just do the assignments, then you should be able to get a good grade.

Professor Brewer's Media 1 class was a lot of fun, as well as informative. The midterm and final are material we actually covered, so study and you'll be fine. The assignments are easy to follow and simple. Sometimes we did small group projects, but they were awesome. She's a really nice and funny person, this made the class even better.
