Susan Simon COMM201 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/13/2024	Susan sets the standards way too high for this class. Practically everyone coming into this course has 0 understanding of what public relations is (as it is an INTRO to PR class), and she expects everyone to know the material like the back of their hand. She is also quite degrading when students attempt to ask questions. It really feels like she doesn't want you to do well. Just show up to class and try your best to study for the exams even though they're way more complex than they need to be.
Susan Simon COMM201 Anonymous 05/13/2024	Professor Simon is very sweet and caring as a person, but that was not reflected in her teaching. She goes insanely fast through content, nitpicks presentations, and grades very harshly. She is proud of the fact that exam averages are a C and includes content that she did not go over and is not in the textbook or slides.
Susan Simon COMM201 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 04/30/2024	I did not enjoy this class. Professor Simon lectures way too fast so you either have to prepare your notes before class or miss everything she is saying in class. She has a complex about knowing everything, constantly cutting off TAs and students. Attendance is taken and there are in class assignments. The midterm and final are hard, she brags about having a C average on her midterm. The class itself could be better with a different professor. The end of semester you have a 10-15 page group paper, presentation, and final exam.
Heather Epkins COMM201 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/20/2023	Dr. Epkins is a very kind professor and is very relatable. She used to be on the communications team under Governor Hogan. We fell behind on class material during the semester and it never really felt like we caught up. We spent the majority of our time in class watching other student presentations which felt like a waste of time -- I would have preferred a lot more lecture time. Overall, Dr. Epkins is super nice but was unorganized this semester. I would recommend her overall though. She wants all of her students to succeed.
