Comment:

Very boring class that is composed of boring lectures and just her playing movies for us in class. We've spent at least 11 hours this semester just watching films, with zero knowledge learned and zero academic interest sparked. Very vague comments on your essay and harsh grader. Don't waste your tuition over this class. Ain't worth the money.

Comment:

Seriously boring lecturer, if you took one basic U.S history course & kinda know the progression of technology in America you'll be good to just sleep throughout what she says. Briefly did readings the night before tests & still got an A-. Completely unaccessible, she never answered a single email from me all semester so she must just not care.

Comment:

Read just so you can make a few points in class. Participation is important. She likes when you say something kind of correct so she can hear herself say it better. She stresses the importance of the texts for the final but its all general questions, so you would have better luck just studying your lecture notes. BUT DO TAKE NOTES.

Comment:

Aurora is a really great lecturer! The class was interesting and a delved into a variety of topics regarding modern media. You have to do the readings though and show up to lecture. Most of the material on the quiz is stuff she lectures on. TA's do all the grading as another review said. Overall, would take her again.

Took her for Crime, Media, Violence. Very charismatic and interesting. Funny dorky jokes propel the otherwise dull lectures. Very hard grader, doesn't really tell you what you did wrong/what to write on. Not the best, not the worst.

I had her for two classes in one semester (Advertising & Society and Media History of NY). Definitely knows her stuff about advertising and increased my knowledge and interest in the subject. But she is a tough grader.

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. Refused to read my paper or answer my questions when I went to office hours and instead sent me to her TA. Absolutely thinks she's GOD and takes herself way too seriously. She's cold hearted and only cares about herself. I think she got pissed no one came to her lectures and failed everyone for the final out of spite.

Comment:

Awful teacher. Incredibly boring. Would teach lectures and no one would show up. She would make sassy comments at people who did come. Very hard grader. Not a lot learned. You can take a lot better classes than this at NYU, do not do it.

Comment:

Definately not the best at NYU, but she knows her material. Yet, she is so nerdy and laughs so much at her own dull jokes that her class is not really what you would call fun. Her quick facts are cool though.

Comment:

I have Prof. Wallace for Advertising and Society, and I love her! She obviously knows a lot about the subject and has a lot of interesting, educated opinions (although she doesn't object to discussion). She has a lot of visuals (necessary for this kind of class) and plus, she's just adorable! But she doesn't take****, so don't give her any.

If you can take this course with someone else, do so. She takes herself too seriously. The lectures are dry and boring.

Boring class, boring material, monotonous lectures and cold atmosphere, I'd rather be giving blood. I highly do NOT recommend this professor to anyone definitely take another professor even if it conflicts with your schedule you'll be VERY thankful trust me.

Professor wallace clearly knows what she is talking about and she always tries to make the class interesting. I HIGHLY recommend her as a professor for any subject within communications.

Most boring class ever. If the material wasn't coma enducing enough, her monotonous voice should just about do it.
