Comment:

More assignments than I have ever had in an online class and she was a ridiculously tough grader for all of them. The assignments were just super hard "busy work" 24/7 - they were very vague and difficult to understand, did not actually help me understand the material. Would NOT recommend.

Comment:

Apparently taking this class in person with another professor is a lot better than online with Worthington. This class gives you ZERO clarity on assignments. I was confused the entire semester and had to ask at least 3 people if I was doing every assignment right. I would not recommend at all. Oh and tests online are so hard...

Comment:

I took this class online and I have never had so much homework in a class. I know online classes require a lot of homework, but this was ridiculous. AT LEAST 3 hard assignments a week, discussion posts every week, and the requirements for homework is so unreal. I had to ask like 5 people in my class to understand every assignment. It is so annoying

Comment:

She was SO helpful, and loved teaching my class! I was def surprised by how much fun class was. I got a C from not doing all the homework, but if you read the book and listen to lectures, you could get an A. She's extremely helpful, although gets off topic a lot. Follow the rubric on the paper and you can get a 100 on it.

Comment:

She treats the class like it is for grad students. There is a ton of outside work required and not much support from her. Basically she seems annoyed with actually having to teach us, I mean actually doing her job must be such a drag. Run fast and far way from this teacher!

Awfull. I'm not one to be hard on teachers, but she made EVERYTHING harder than it needed to be. It could have been really interesting because the material was cool. Just not with her as teacher. If you can, get out of her class.

Comment:

She is the hardest teacher I have had at Auburn, and her class requires a LOT of work outside of the class. BUT, if you have ANY questions, go see her. She will be more favorable towards you if you are participatory in class. Definitely not impossible. Shes very very nice!! Just be prepared to WORK!

Dr. Worthington is one of the hardest teachers I have had at Auburn.She is very nice and helpful if you go to her office and ask questions. There is a lot of group projects that you have to start work on right away.As long as you pay attention and read your syllabus you will be ok.Her test are hard but as long as you study her guide alot your fine.

Comment:

Run for the hills! Completely unreasonable! I had her for new class, we had about 20-40 pages of reading every day and a quiz over the material. We had a paper due at the end of the semester but we did not get any details until the week before classes ended, btw,it was about 15 pages long!Stay away!I believe her heart is controlled by the devil!

Comment:

We did 60 pages worth of papers in a SUMMER COURSE!! Out of 5 students enrolled in the class, 4 were education grad students & the 5th was a 1st year COMM grad student - she had us doing work that a person with a wealth of knowledge in the comm field would have struggled with! This is a ridiculously hard class & a completely unreasonable professor!

Don't do it! You'll regret taking a course from a research-obsessed professor who is "forced" to teach. She clearly believes herself to be above her teaching position and will take it out on you.

Comment:

She is actually a great teacher. Her quizzes were pretty scary towards the beginning of the term but got better. Her study guides were truly insane. It took me 8 hours to fill out the first one and over 10 for the second (thats not counting actual study time). No joke. The tests were very fair and not as scary as the study guides. Our paper was due
