Abbie is a great instructor for JOUR320! In order to pass this class, you must do six outside assignments based on a geographic beat and get five clips published by verified media outlets over the course of the semester (-3 percentage points from your final grade for every clip you fail to complete). *GET YOUR CLIPS DONE EARLY! THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS TO HAVE THOSE HANGING OVER YOUR HEAD AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER* She knows that it is a super intense class and the "weed out" class for journalism majors at Maryland, so she does everything she can to ease you into the semester so that your major assignments don't feel like they're coming out of nowhere. She's still an active, working journalist so she gives great insight into a day in the life in the industry and treats you more like a co-worker than a student. Obviously, JOUR320 will be difficult and work-heavy no matter who you take it with, that's just the way the course is designed, but Abbie absolutely makes the experience better.
