Rebecca Theim COMM331 Expecting a B- Anonymous 11/07/2025	Class met on Monday and Wednesday yet we had a large majority of important assignments due on Friday and Saturday every week. The workload is pretty heavy, but manageable. The most frustrating part for me is the fact that the due dates for large assignments are on Fridays and Saturdays after having multiple assignments to complete throughout the week, leaving almost no time during the week to work on these assignments. If you have a job outside of school like me, this class will be very frustrating and force deadlines into your life on Fridays and Saturdays when not a single one of my other classes, unless we met in person on Fridays, has ever had assignments due on Saturdays. I understand having assignments due on Sunday so they can be completed before Monday’s class. However, consistently setting due dates on Fridays and Saturdays was frustrating, especially since I specifically arranged my schedule to avoid Friday classes for work; this expectation wasn’t communicated before or at the start of the course.
Rachel Bailey COMM331 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/14/2025	This diva... Dr. Bailey is very eccentric and a little wacky but high key I love her for it. She's very helpful and not a harsh grader at all. Plus I probably stayed the whole hour and 50 minutes of this class maybe a handful of times the whole semester.
Rebecca Theim COMM331 Anonymous 11/24/2024	Rebecca expects you to be a professional PR news writer the second you enter the class when the only foundation for most students is created from her poor teaching and rushing through the slides. The class itself is definitely a more rigorous course, but different professors may definitely provide you with a better learning experience.
Dionne Clemons COMM331 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/11/2024	Dr. Clemons is a lot of fun! I liked that she always connected concepts in class to the real world and was very flexible with the assignment due dates. I do wish that I learned a little bit more PR in this class since it felt more like a journalism class, but it was good overall. More writing feedback could have been helpful. The best thing about Dr. Clemons' class is that she is extremely personable and is focused on making sure that students learn rather than giving out busy work. She told many good stories. The only reason I don't give a 5/5 is that sometimes it felt like there was no structure in the class. She wasn't the best with ELMS and did not know the class schedule. But, her kindness, fun, and teaching style make up for that somewhat in my opinion.
Vijaya Bohlmann COMM331 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/04/2023	Had her for Fall 2023, she's kind but does NOT know how to properly pace this class. I truly think she assigns too many group assignments, especially around finals week. Multiple group projects on top of her quizzes, midterm, and a final. Not to mention it's impossible to take notes in class since she just clicks through her slides. Her class was an hour and 50 minutes long and it shouldn't be because you mainly sit around doing nothing. I haven't retained any knowledge from this class and it feels like I was completing assignments just to have them completed.
Vijaya Bohlmann COMM331 Expecting an A- Anonymous 04/26/2023	Avoid this professor at all costs. She hands out grades based off of nothing. She never really knows whats going on in her own class room and actually teaches nothing of substance for a class that PR majors really need to succeed. I don't feel as if I learned anything and she also doesn't know how to balance course load or due dates. Actually so sad that this class was bad because I really wanted to enjoy what we were supposed to be learning
