Comment:

Dr. Fitzgerald got her undergrad at Columbia, and it shows. Shes cultured, articulate, enthusiastic, whimsical, and knows so much about what she teaches & what she doesnt. Email accessible 24/7, funny, informative, passionate about film (so take her for cinema or writing the script). My favorite prof. UIW is lucky to have her.

The first half of the semester is group projects and theyre all based out of the textbook. The second half is all movie viewings, so it's a really easy class. Dr. Fitzgerald is awesome though, she's funny and very nice so if you have a problem shes VERY accomidating. Super easy going prof.

Comment:

Mrs. Fitzgerald is my favorite teacher at UIW. I take her every time I can. I have had her 3 ties for different subjects and have received high grades in each class. The classes are as easy as you make them. She has a lot to say, but it always relates to the subject matter, and she makes it interesting. I loved her classes and she is super nice!

Comment:

She is an interesting woman. Gives lots of busy work. But honestly, has no sense of time management. Frequently gets off topic or repeats the same stories. Tends to unnecessarily keep you in class longer because she gets sidetracked. Easy A, but not worth the time.

Prof. Fitzgerald is a really nice woman. She cares about her students but I feel like she could be so much better at what she does. Her classes are a little weak--nothing too hard or challenging. Take her if you want an easy A.

she is boring and talks about her personal life too much, her assignments are always last minute and her grading methods are stupid. demands you do her homework and doesn't grade it. have to do a stupid newspaper/magazine article notebook for no reason!

Dora is AWESOME!!! One of the most intelligent people I know. I love how she goes into depth not only about film, but about life! She is a very passionate person who knows what she is talking about. I recommend her as a professor for any media class.

She is just awesome! She cares so much about her students and you can tell she loves her job. Her classes are always interesting, so always go to class. She is tough on attendance, but if you go 100% of the time, you get a boost in your grade.

Every time I have a class with her, I come out learning so much, and I have a feeling she truly cares about her students, and she likes what she teaches. I cant say the same thing for most teachers.
