Comment:

I took Ivy for nonverbal communication. She calls her tests quizzes, but there are 4 of them & they are all based on reading the book. Oh, & she wrote the book, but don't worry she will continuously remind you that she wrote it throughout the semester. Her lectures were interactive & usually good, but she is a bit condescending towards her students

Love Dr. Ivy, she's one of my favorite professors at TAMU-CC. But she will make you work for your grade, quite a bit of reading but if you do the work you'll do fine.

LOVE Dr. Ivy! She's super interesting to listen to. Funny and personable. BUT... Keep in mind you have to work HARD! Ivy's got super high expectations, especially at the Grad level. Lots of reading and very hard grader. Totally worth it though!

Comment:

I took 2 classes with Dr. Ivy and the only reason I did is because her classes don't have very much work. Her classes were hard to sit through though, especially being a conservative student. She is really nice, however, I would only take her if you are looking for a liberal, opinionated, and very sidetracked class.

Awesome professor! This is a long course but well worth it- she keeps it fun and interesting. There is one big group project, short essays, and 4 quizzes that count for a big % of overall grade. Don't skip out on studying for quizzes- that is a MUST. The textbook is highly essential and informative for the course and communication as a whole.

Professor Ivy care about college students. She makes you work for your grades, but offers you generous amounts of help if you ask for it. She is extremely inspirational and her theatrical demeanor makes the class fun and entertaining. Reading is key and get ready for a group project.

Comment:

She is a personality, so most students either adore her or find her domineering. She is very spirited and it is obvious that she gives it her all and loves her students and job. She keeps the class fresh and interesting by providing a variety of teaching methods and assignments. She grades moderately. Good class if you enjoy the subject.

I have taken a few classes by IVY. You either hate her or love her. I loved her and i still had a hard time in the class. Just follow her directions to the T and study for the tests and you will be fine.

I don't think she ever actually taught us anything. She babbles on and on about nonsense and you're left up to your own devices to actually learn. She might have been the worst teacher I've ever had. If you have to take her, don't.

This was the first year she's had the Gender class do COMM Night, word to the wise, LOTS of stress involved with little help on her part and almost no traditional class elements, not entirely sure what I actually learned.

Comment:

Very difficult grader. The papers and speeches are graded sternly.You must be at class and never use a cell phone or laptop, or she will put you on her "list," then you can forget about a good grade.There is no extra credit or makeup and her 40+ page syllabus is difficult to follow. If you have 1 low grade you will drop AT LEAST a letter grade too.

Comment:

She is a hard grader, as far as presenting goes, but the tests are easy as long as you do the review that she gives you. She is super helpful and so interesting. She is quite the feminist, and did play favorites (but which teacher doesn't?). Overall, I would recommend her to anyone. Her classes fill up very quickly, so sign up fast if you want her.

Comment:

I had Dr. Ivy before and enjoyed her class but didn't think too highly of her. After taking a second class with her I absolutely adore this woman. She's willing to help and genuinely cares for her students. She will love you as long as you are a good student and respect her. She wrote the textbook so you can't bs anything in her class, she'll know.

Comment:

Ivy plays favorites. Don't get me wrong, she's a great professor, funny, and her course is interesting, but she likes some students and not others. I heard rumors of this prior to taking her class but figured it wouldn't be an issue because I am a good student. On projects I've had points docked while other student haven't for the same mistakes.

Comment:

she drops points on your final grade when you're absent because it is the only way people can justify attending this worthless class. i could literally feel myself getting more stupid after every class period. this class should be presented in a 2 hour seminar to 15 year olds. i learned absolutely nothing about anything. shame on ivy.

first of all, the whole class is a joke. the "lectures" are a joke. this class being required is an insult to any college student's intelligence. if you don't already know the information that she is covering, then you should drop out of school- you are not college material. it is this class that is lowering the bar of higher education- devolution

Comment:

Avoid taking Ivy for intro if possible. She really does come off as a know-it-all and gives guidelines you would expect in high school. ex. One free absence is allowed for a night class, any after that is 6pts off FINAL GRADE! Also, she makes you think you did awesome on group project then gives you a low B. Plays favoritism, NO DOUBT.
