Comment:

NOTHING was clear or organized about this class. Dates were incorrect on blackboard, saying you missed a deadline. There were no deadlines in the syllabus. The work is pretty much copying and pasting, but she acts like it's the most important thing you'll be doing. NOT accessible outside of class - gets angry when you ask for help or question her

Comment:

She's a great person outside of class, really cares about her students. She spends too much time talking about herself, when it is only slightly relevant. I liked how she doesn't let much slide - she's tough. BUT, when you get her comments back on papers, she's not very helpful. She's also super disorganized, and wasn't easy to get in touch with.

Comment:

Ms. Xaver is my favorite teacher of all time. She is straightforward, smart, a fantastic speaker and extremely charismatic. I love her classes and admire her as a person. If you put in the effort you will be rewarded. If you don't you're not worth her time. I love it.

Terrible teacher, spends more time talking about herself and not so subtly dropping names then actually teaching a class.

Comment:

Dr. X is awesome. Her classes are pretty difficult, yes, but overall as a person she is incredible. As long as you go to class, listen to her, and put any effort in, you'll be fine. I got a C in her class yet she still gave me opportunities to work in the field and on TV sets with her. Very nice lady.

Not too bad but she didn't specify all of her expectations and my grade suffered because of it.

Best out ther I also had her for Comm100 She is the Best Life changer. Shes makes you think about what do you really want in life. You can learn from her experiences. Very honest is not going to lie to you = LIFE. Her grading is a little tough she cares about quality not quanity. TAKE Her :)

Comment:

If you expect a work-free college stay, do NOT take X's classes. If you want a serious job in the business, you should. She may not be the nicest person in the world, but communications does not call for being super-nice. A teacher serious about her job, and one of the best. She has my undying gratitude for making me 1000X tougher. Thank you X!

Comment:

X is very vain. Other then that she is by far the best teacher at TC3. The communication department rules TC3, because of X there would be no new media labs or radio stations. I strongly suggest taking one of her classes. Get on her good side, she will help you succeed it whatever you do after school.

Comment:

X is by far the greatest prof you will ever have. She takes a serious interest in her students and if you put in the effort , it will pay off. She doesnt treat you like a child, she simply educates you and leaves you to decide its relevance. If you dont like her, thats your opinion but you really dont know what you are missing out on.

Comment:

She doesn't teach online classes - she barely pokes her head into discussions at all. Don't ask for help - you'll get yelled at. Don't question a quiz answer - you'll get yelled at. Quizzes, btw, are all from a question bank - not sure why she's getting paid, she doesn't do anything except occasionally talk about herself.

Comment:

"X", as she LOVES to call herself, is likely the most overrated instructor I have ever had. The extent of her instruction was rambling on about the career she previously held with a Syracuse news station, random attempts at dropping names, and playing DVDs. These classes are NOT difficult, aside from being forced to listen to her speak.

The very best of the best. I still keep in touch with her. If you work hard, X will reward you. She knows what she is talking about and doesn't sugar coat any of it. I only wish she was teaching at my new school. Take all you can with her! Just come to class and put effort in!
