Dr. Parry-Giles is intelligent, compelling, and an admirable person. I gained a great amount of knowledge on the topic of deliberation, and newfound appreciation for democratic process. SPG deserves great praise, but the class itself was frustrating many times throughout the semester. For one, almost all of your grade past the first few weeks will be based on group-work, which is painful if you roll bad team members on any given week. Also, the grading seemed unnecessarily stringent, and expectations could be clearer. For example, we were always pressed to source from the in-class readings more often, but there were only a handful of readings to pick from. Overall, the class was interesting and also a lot of fun participating in and facilitating deliberations. I recommend it for any incoming carillon student. |

She is an amazing prof and is such an interesting lecturer who does a good job of interacting with her students. The TA is legit the best in the world and is such an amazing person who makes jokes and actually interacts with us. TATENDA IS THE BEST TA EVER |

There were weekly readings (sometimes pretty long and sometimes dull) and reading quizzes, but only for the first 6 weeks and the reading quizzes were easy: online, only 5 questions, you had two tries, and open note. This class was very discussion based but she never called anyone out, so it was mainly people who wanted to share speaking. There are group deliberations followed by reports on the deliberations, the topics of them were pretty interesting. Everyone in the group gets the same grade but if there are issues she is understanding and will handle the situation fairly. Overall not a hard class, no exams, graded fairly, and very understanding - I would recommend. |

Good teacher, reasonable about helping us in deliberative democracy. Reading quizzes are easy but pointless. Started out by giving good grades but then it became dumb because she and her TA would just lower overall grades no matter the work; they give everyone in the group the same grade no matter the work they do. Nice and reasonable but needs to grade more objectively. |

I had Dr Parry-Giles my first semester (Fall 2022). Overall, Dr. Parry-Giles and COMM398I are both excellent. Dr. Parry-Giles is very intelligent, and personable. It is a really good class if you want to deliberate. It is also a class that is graded fairly and is not exceptionally hard. It is a COMM class but, does not count for a COMM general education requirement, so watch out for that. Dr. Parry-Giles was a professor and I would recommend her & COMM398I. |

Way too much work and reading assigned in class, dont take it unless youre only taking like 5 credits a semester lol. Also, she claims that everyone in group projects gets the same grade, and then arbitrarily decides one member can receive a lower grade. Very contradictory woman, don't recommend the class with her |
