She was very clear on her expectations and made sure that all the students had an opportunity to do well in the class. Offers extra credit. The only thing is the term paper, she grades difficult on that.

Comment:

Professor Hock's class was pretty doable and was meaningful for me. However, you do have to study hard for the midterms and especially for the Final. It was pretty tough, not easy. Other than that, every assignment was reasonable and interesting to learn for me.

There were pros and cons of this class. Pros: offered extra credit, spent a lot of time ensuring her lectures were on topic and up to date. Cons: there was one HUGE 200 point research paper. That was brutal. At least at the end of the semster, she offered one last extra credit assignment. That's what turned my B into an A.

I just took Sarah Hock's online comm class this fall. She's a wonderful. Listen & Watch all her lectures. Do all the discussions, read & respond to 3 of your classmates thoughts on the discussion & share a link related to the topic of your response, quizzes once a week, timed multi choice mid term & final (study quizzes) and one term paper!

This class is extremely difficult. The exam is hard and she gives you very few points even you did the homework. When you ask her when she gives you such a score she just said I got the message you have done it but I cannot give your points back. Don't try to take her class!!!

Professor Hock was a great comm 101 professor! I took her for my online summer class and it was interesting even though it was online. Her lectures are clear and entertaining. Discussion groups every week, and a 10 page paper on a movie, but overall an easy A.

I took her online class and I enjoyed it. Not super challenging, but not super easy either. Class was out of like 1,000 points and there was several opportunities for extra credit. Seems caring and gave decent feedback.

Weekly discussions and quizzes, it doesn't take too much time, just be sure to do it. Email the teacher for any questions, she typically responds in a timely manner. Didn't have very accessible office hours, though.

Awesome teacher. I learned a lot about communication and myself. Useful information for real life. I was so surprised to learn that communication is connected to so many careers. The class got know Professor Hock as she was very personable and helpful.

Comment:

Not too difficult as an online class. More time consuming than it was difficult. Professor Hock clearly states exactly what you need to do in order to pass the class. If you do all of your work and show interest in the class she will be understanding if you make a mistake. Participate in the discussions and there's no way you can't pass.

Comment:

Participation does matter because you must be active in class discussions. While I thought she was a fair grader what really irked me was the material she used. The material she gave us for discussion was in my opinion outdated. The lectures she gave us as well were outdated and we were using a current book. This meant some difficult quizzes for me

Comment:

Professor Hock is probably one of the best teachers at the city college. You can tell she is passionate about what she teaches and updates lectures by the day if something related comes up in the news. She cares a lot about her students. There are weekly discussions which are not hard and a huge final group project you that don't want to wait to do

Such a sweet teacher. Always came to teach with a positive and fun attitude. If you shows up and talk in class discussions every now and then you will be fine. There is a big group project at the end of the semester, so pick pick people who aren't going to flake and not contribute.

communication 101 itself is easy but the professor Hock is not nice at all, she doesn't accept any Negotiation. I miss the term paper deadline and trying get help from her. she was like it is all your falut, she cannot doing anything for you. that damn paper worth more than 30 percent which mean I got D+ this semester. I beg her so hard but failed

Comment:

The easiest online class! Hock sets up the class with an organized scheduled that is followed each week- never any surprises! Each week there will be a discussion entry that will follow with responding to 3 of your peers then a chapter quiz. Very manageable! The midterm and final are all the same questions from your quizzes!

Comment:

Professor Hock was pretty much an online video and I never really actually met her but the class did what it was supposed to do and her lectures pretty much cover the material. I just grazed over the book and passed the tests. Would have gotten an A but somehow I missed a whole week. Have no idea how that happened ;( Pleasant speaking voice nice

She is okay. Her class can be boring. The study guides aren't very helpful and doesn't give enough time for tests. but I enjoyed the group project and discussions.

Comment:

Professor Hock is the sweetest! She makes the lectures interesting, relevant and easy to follow. Reading is not assigned and there are no quizzes. Attendance is important. She gives a big chunk of extra credit assignments that are due at the end of the semester. Most important thing is the group project, including one short presentation. Fun class!
