Comment:

Pluss is hysterical and made COMM Research Methods bearable. There are no surprises here and the final is just the four quizzes she gave throughout the semester. Of those four, she drops the lowest one. There were 5 assignments, 5 quizzes (including the final). The material can be dry but that's not on her. she made a boring class fun, take her.

Comment:

Prof. Pluss is sweet and upbeat. Her "quizzes" are about 40 questions. However she does drop the lowest of the 4. There is a group project and a final project. Easy A if you study for the quizzes.

Comment:

I took her for research methods and had to drop her class half way. Nice lady but VERYYYYY tough grader and gives you an F even if you do the work. (I had 5 Fs even though i did my work and gave everything on time) Usually gives 12 assignments and the final Research project. The lectures are pretty long. Overall i do not reccomend.

Professor Pluss grades assignments very harshly, even when you put effort into them. Not clear when explaining material and class is very boring.

Comment:

I believe she has changed her teaching style since these last comments. She's very into the class , but its just too much for a 110 course. Had to curve the mid-term and final because the averages were 70s. She would be great for a higher level course, but you can definitely take an easier professor for this class.

She is a best professor. We had 2 project, and 2 exam. I passed her class with a, A or B. I am not sure. However, she is helpful. If you need a good grade and want to take the course, I say take her class. She is helpful, and a great professor. Trust me.

Comment:

The easiest "A" I ever got. Easiest grader @ WPU. You're told what's going to be on the exams and speeches are graded more on effort and organization. Don't worry, you don't have to give a Powel or Obama-like delivery.

Very nice woman, but really isnt the teaching type. In a semester, we learned maybe...10 things total which she kept repeating OVER AND OVER AND OVER again...she's pretty easy though, final, midterm, speech and a paper.

Shes nice and occasionally has fun in-class assignments but most of the time its just boring common sense material. Tests are essays and study guides are very broad. Not much to evaluate your grade.

She grades on the Final, Midterm, 1 short paper, 1 5 min speech, and attendance. The paper & speech are easy but the tests are tough. She gives study guides but they cover a lot of material. Answers Emails very quickly.
