Professor Rhine is very lecture heavy, class isn't mandatory but she gives quizzes everyday over the readings she assigns. The class is okay, only take if you are absolutely interested.

Comment:

Much discussion of the role of media in politics, even for a 100-level class. Additionally, do not take if your views do are not somewhere on the left, you will not enjoy yourself. Prompts for essays are confusing, grading is arbitrary.

Comment:

I took Media and Politics with Dr. Rhine and thought she was a great professor. Not an easy class, but it was enjoyable and interesting. She's very straight-forward and only gives you information you need, which makes the class more introductory. She may have favorites - those who actually participate. I'd definitely take another class with her.

I liked Dr. Rhine for Methods and Media Politics. I got Bs in both of them. She is a tough grader, but gives you good information. And you get to watch funny political ads.

Comment:

Took Methodology with her and Media and Politics with her. She's not good at explaining things. I wouldn't suggest her for Methods. Her other class was ok. Didn't require too much work and was a good grader. Just a little stupid though! She didn't ever seem to have an agenda. I wouldn't take her classes again. Sorry.
