By no means is he an easy grader but if you employ the feedback he gives your writing and your grade will improve. This was def a very hard class but Rob will make you a better journalism writer guaranteed. Recommend him highly unless you want a shortcut to an A, then maybe look for someone else. |

The best JOUR professor I have had through 2 years at Merrill. Would definitely take him if you have the option. |

He’s a really cool professor and he genuinely cares about students. He helped my writing a lot and I’m just so grateful! 201 classes are definitely tough so you need to put in effort regardless of the Professor. I had also taken 201 freshman year but I had to drop the class. I took him this year and got an A- I would also say joining newspaper clubs helped me too! So newspaper clubs plus professor Wells equal success. Take him :) He has the kindest heart :) |

Professor Wells is great as a JOUR 201 teacher and probably one of my favorite teachers I've had. Wells cares about his class, he's a harsh grader, but he is understanding in most situations. He also brings in professionals to help people see how the journalism industry is and potential internships people could get. Take him if you have an option for any class |

Wells is a pretty decent teacher. But be warned he is a strict grader. You'll only get a B or above if you a super good writer. It is not surprising that you would receive a C or below especially at the beginning. Yet, he is always willing to help. Wells is the DC Bureau Chief of the Dow Jones Newswire and you can imagine someone with such a position would lack the time to help his students but he is an exception. He will always make time to discuss anything if you need help, he responds swiftly to emails, and he is very approachable. And for the news quizzes...well you pretty much have to do it for every JOUR class. |
