she is such a hard grader and seems to have some passive agressiveness. I would not recommend at all. the final project is just overkill as well especially since its a group project. she takes off points for the most outrageous things. |

Incredibly unhelpful when reached out to, as she would often not respond. A very strict grader. The course material and assignments were generally interesting, but this class was ruined for me by the vague directions and lack of communication. I am glad that I took it online and was able to get my three credits, but the only thing I gained was more experience in web design, but I wish I just did that on my own time rather than waste my money on JOUR150. Maybe with a different instructor it would be different, but I do not recommend this combination. |

so unhelpful in emails and assignments take hours to complete. also way too strict of a grader for no reason. i wrote 2 pages for an assignment and answered all of the questions and still got so many points taken off that drastically dropped my grade |

This winter course was completely online and asynchronous. The daily readings were easy to read through quickly, and the quizzes were simple since they were open note. If you're motivated, you could finish an entire week's module in a day. My only issue was that a large part of our grade was a final 5 person group paper. If you have a good group you'll be fine. However, all of my group mates were terribly hard to get a hold of. I had to message them many times and waited days for responses. Professor Yotova was quick to reply to my emails but was no help in getting my group to respond, nor was I able to change groups. 2/5 of my group members were flying/traveling across the globe during the final couple days of the class (and thus did no work during that time), and the other 2/5 group members contributed very little. I ended up writing almost the entire paper, and everyone in my group received the same grade. I got an A+ in the class, but the last week of my winter break was completely ruined since I had to do the project by myself. |

As with JOUR150, this summer class was completely online with no Zoom meetings. The quizzes were relatively easy as everything was open note, and the writing responses really made me think about what I've learned. The Sway presentations were well-put together and really helped me learn. I was also able to message the professor regarding some issues on a few occasions and she promptly relieved my concerns. |

Completely online class with no zoom meetings or anything like that. Can't really attest to her teaching but the workload is slightly heavy and gets annoying at times. A discussion/ blog assignment or quiz is usually assigned per week. Group project due at the end of the semester. Its an easy A or B class and please dont pay for the book. I never read it once. Just use google. |

JOUR150 was an online class for me. Yotova graded assignments promptly and fairly, gave good and constructive feedback, and responded to student messages super quickly. Was a good gen-ed class. However, there is a pretty standardized and heavy workload! |
